The Farm Bureau representative | also asked Mr. Coolidge for a con- | tinuing fund with which to fight the corn borer. Gray said there was about $2,000,000 left of the $10,000.000 tund appropriated hy Congress last Winter, | and he said that this, together with an additional appropriation of $2.500, 000, should he made available to the Agriculture Department force now en- gaged in eradicating the pest. | " Gray recommended the appointment | of 1.
