Last season and the season before, the drought conditions were held responsible for the serious setback suffered by the agricultur- ists of the grain States. This year the trouble appears to be too much moisture. In some of the wheat sections, particularly in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas, the heavy rains during the harvesting period have resulted in the storing of considerable grain which has too high a moisture content and therefore subjected to the danger of be- coming musty, sour or heated. Added to the difficulty is the fact that the rains have also brought a heavy weed growth which makes harvesting difficult, Corn Borer Quarantine Ended HE quarantine set up by the Federal Govern- ment to limit as much as possible the spread of the European corn borer has gone by the boards this year because of the failure of Congress to vote adequate funds for carry- ing on the work. ‘The Department of Agriculture estimated that $795,000 would be required to carry on the quarantine properly but the appropriation was reduced to $295,000 by the House Appro- priations Committee, and as a result, Secretary Hyde was forced 1o call off the activities of the road inspectors as of July 15. The “stop” signs on highways at the edge of the quarantine areas where all autos and trucks have been examined for corn borers have been given up for it was impossible to continue on the curtailed funds. Heretofore the Federal inspectors have been able to pre- vent the trucking of corn out of the areas in- fested with the borer. Under the new scheme the work of the Federal men can be only advisory in nature. Inspectors will visit the areas in which the borer is now present and the areas immediately around in order to ob- tain information which will be made available to the various States bordering on the borer belt in order that the States may take such action themselves as they find advisable to prevent the introduction of the pest in their corn fields. So far, the activities of the borer have been most pronounced in the Southeastern New England States and invasion of the main corn belt has been prevented. Farm Wages Low THE farms of the country offer little help for the unemployed and what opportunity is provided is by no means profitable, the Bureau of Agriculturil Economics survey indicates. Farm wages are the lowest in 30 years and white demand for lebor is only 62 per cent of normal the labor supply is 123 per cent of normal. Wages per day without board vary all the way from a South ‘Carclina minimum of 55 cents to a maximum in Massachusetts amt Rhode Island of $2.60. Wages per month with board range from a low of $1230 in South Atlantic States to $29.40 in Par Western States
