COMPARATIVE INSTALLATION COSTS OF CONCRETE AND
CORRUGATED PIPE ON THREE STATE HIGHWAY JOBS
That the labor costs for hauling and placing corrugated pipe arc con
siderably less than those in connection with reinforced concrete is perfectly
obvious from a comparison of the weights per foot of the two types: but
just how wide the difference is has been a matter of conjecture, since def
according to Calfornia Highway-
inite figures were lacking. The weights,

grading contracts throw quite a little light on the matter of installation
costs. Bids were called for on an alternate basis, the pipe to be either cor
rugated iron or concrete according to a later decision of the Commission.
The Highway Commission was to supply the pipe in either case, ar.d de
liver it to the railroad station nearest the work, so the calculations of the
contractors were confined to hauling, installing and back filling. The fig

CORN BORER LATEST MENACE
Many Destructive Poets and Bissasse

Weovll Has Cost Enough to
Pay National Debt
Washington. — Figures show the
American taxpayer Is paying tribute
to plant pests at the rate of about
$2,000,000,000 a year, the American
Nature association says.
The Atlantic states know what the
chestnut blight and the white pine blis
ter rust have done. The country knows
the South's experience with the boU
weevil. One of the original enemies
to be brought to this land from Eu
rope was the Hessian tiy, which came
in straw the soldiers used to bed their
horses. That tly still costs the coun
try the price of the Revolutionary war
every year because of what it does to
wheat.
Introduced from Mexico, the boll
weevil has cost the cotton growers of
the South enough to pay off the na
tional debt. A hundred-mUllon-acre
corn crop is annually exposed to a
dozen destructive diseases, most of
which came to America from foreign
fields.
Corn Borer Latest to Appear.
The last to appear Is the European
corn borer. Thus far science has
made no headway in exterminating
this pest.
A professor at Harvard university
some years ago was experimenting In
an effort to develop a variety of silk
worms that would resist the gypsy
moth. A gust of wind blew several
cultures of moths through his labora
tory window. Shortly thereafter the
gypsy moth became a destructive
pest in Massachusetts, and now ex
tends Its depredations over more than
20,000 square miles of American are*.
The American Nature association says
this pest accomplishes almost aa
much economic damage aa the annual
fires.
The brown-tall moth came from Hol
land or Franc* In shipment* of rosea.
The Japanese beetl* came to our
shores on Imported Japanese tria
plants. The San Jose scale has ran-
dered fruit production prohlbltory Lu
some parts of the United States and

Effort* to Control.
Along the Mexican border Uncle
Bam maintains great fumlgatora large
enough for several freight cars to run
inside at a time. In this way all the
cotton and cotton seed that comes in
from Mexico is rendered harmless so
far as the distribution of objection
able cotton diseases is concerned.
“The rogues’ gallery” list of pests
now Includes more than 73 economic

include such crop criminals as the cod
ling moth, asparagus beetle, buffalo
moth, hop plant louse, horn fly, com
mon cabbage worm, sugar-cane borer,
pear midge, wheat louse, oyster-shell
bark louse, pea weevil, croton bug, 23
Injurious scale insects and many
others. Thirty-seven of these pests
have been imported front Europe.
At such Important ports of entry as
