WHAT SCIENCE
IS DOING
Corn Borer
More than 40;000 wasps and
lilies, released by the Department
of Agriculture are battling in Illi-
nois cornfields against the dread-
ed European corn borers attacking
the crop. Another $,000 insects will
e turned loose in a few days.
The wasps and flies, gathered in
New Jersey, are natural enemies
of the borer and are being re-
leased in an effort to check the
borer increase which already has
reached alarming proportions.
The winged fighters turn the
'tables on the borers by doing a
little boring themselves. The wasps
penetrate the body of the borer
sing lay eggs in it. The fly deposits
eggs on the outside of the borer.
Both parasites crawl into the tun-
nel made by the borer in the corn
stalk to reach their prey.
The eggs of the wasps and flies
live on the body of the borer and
continue to feast on it even when
the borer enters the pupa stage.
Then, instead of a n'tw generation
of borers emerging from the pupa,
out comes a batch of wasps
and flies to, continue their work.
Two different tyres of small
wasps are being used and a fly
which resembles the common
house fly. These parasites have
been used with moderate success
in the East. Iowa also is using
them this year as borers are show-
ing up in appreciable numbers for
the first time in Iowa corn fields.
British Planes
Drop Surgeons
The Royal Army Medical Corps
has parachute surgical teams that
have already been in action with
great success.
The Lancet describes one unit
that established itself in a farin
building, which had been seized by
paratroops. It ran the building as a
hospital for two days, while a bat-
tle raged around it. During that
period the unit performed 35 oper-
ations. Thirty-one of the patients
later reached base hospitals in good
condition.
Each team consists of six men,
all of whom have been trained to
be able to do everyone else's job in
the event of casualties among the
team during landing.
Equipment is designed especial-
ly for lightness, compactness and
portability, so that the unit can
' move swiftly through rough coun-
try, possibly under fire. The unit
carries a light operating table with
tressels, all presumably collapsible.
They also drop with anaesthetics,
plaster, dressings, fuel, plasma, pri-
mus stoves. Paraffin pressure lamps
and electrical headlamps supply
the surgeons with light for their
work.

THE WAR • WEEK — Commentary on Current Events
An Outline Of Lord Vansittart's
Twelve Points To Win The Peace
The "Win the Peace" 'Movement,
of which Lord Vansittart has ac-
cepted the presidency, has planned
a number of meetings to bring to
the notice of the public the 12 -point
"peace charter", says the Man-
chester Guardian.
1. The unconditional surrender
of Germany and of the other Axis
and their satellite Powers.
2. The effective occupation of
Germany by an Allied Army and
Air Force and the establishment of
an inter -Allied Council of Control,
to be maintained until it is decided
by the Governments . concerned to
be no longer necessary.
S. The arrest and trial of per-
sons believed guilty of war crimes
in the countries where they were
committed. Neutral countries to be
requested not to give sanctuary to
any war criminals.
4. The complete demobilization
and disarmament of all German
armed forces, including the surren-
der of the German fleet and Luft-
waffe; the same procedure to be
applied to the other Axis Powers.
5. The police forces in Germany
to be regional and free from cen-
tral control and to be demilitarized.
6. The abolition in Germany of
all military or semi -military train-
ing at any age in any form what-
ever, including the abolition of the
officer's corps and training corps.
7. The evacuation of all territo-
ries invaded by the Axis Powers.
8. The restoration of, or compen-
sation for, loot, machinery, and
equipment removed or destroyed.
Also the restoration of, or compen-
sation for, commercial and indus-
trial interests forcibly acquired or
seized.
9. The effective control and
where required, the closing dowh
of Germany's war potentials, in-
cluding aviation in all its forms.
10. No financial loans or assist-
ance to be permitted to Germany
or to any of the other Axis Powers
without the approval of the Allied
Nations.
11. The curricula of school and

university studies to be under inter -
Allied supervision and advice until
the re-education of the German
people is assured in accordance with
the principles of international
good -will.

propaganda to be under inter -Allied
supervision for such time as may
be necessary.
*
At the opening meeting in Man-
chester Lord Vansittart said it was
conceivable that the end of the war
might come at any time within 12
months from the coming winter,
and we had therefore got to be pre-
pared. "Whom are you going to be-
lieve," he .asked — "those who
know the truth about Germany or
those who don't? If this country.
for the third time refuses to face
the facts you will have a third Ger-
man war upon you In 10 years."
Watch Your Step
Too Many Farm Accidents,
Says Collingwood Enterprise-
News
The cold truth is that the ratio
of preventable accidents in agricul-
ture is higher than in any other in-
dustry, Many hundreds of farmers,
members of their families and
workers on farms are killed and
many thousands injured every year
in Canada as the result 'of acci-
dents, most of which could have
been prevented.
With the farm labor shortage
just now so acute and when all our
production of food is so essential
to the war effort, the accident • toll
is particularly serious.
A survey has disclosed that ma-
chinery is the chief source of farm
work accidents; that live stock
runs a close second and that falls
are in third place. The wise farmer
is he who learning the cause of
accidents on his farm takes steps
to eliminate such causes and all
possible hazards. For example,y the
fact that loose clothing causes one-
third of all farm accidents involving
machinery should make anyone
avoid that particular hazard like a
plague.
And the ever-present threat of ,
fire, which annually destroys mil-
lions of dollars' worth of rural pro-
perty ought to be enough for a
farmer to justify devoting at east
a part of one morning per month
to looking round the farm for fire
hazards, too.
Prevention of accidents means
avoiding making an acute farni la-
bor shortage more acute and also
means an even bigger contribution
10 food production.
Safety first is a good slogan for
any farm.
It wouldn't have been an acci-
dent if it couldn't have been pre-
vented... would it! So:
Don't try acrobatics in the bath
tub.
Tack stair rugs down tight and
• make sure that railings are solid.
Rusty nails often mean lockjaw
make certain there aren't • any
in your house.
Be sure that the rungs on your
ladder are sound and let some one
hold the bottom when you begin
to climb,
Don't smoke in bed... the mat-•
tress burns quickly... and anyway
you'll be asleep before you know
It.
Train children to put away their
toys . . just as much for your sake
as theirs.
Never let childrennear stoves
and keep hot liquids in pans safe-
ly out of reach.
In a small kitchen, for your own
sake too, turn the handles of pots
on the stove in towards the stove,
not out towards you.
Keep all poison bottles carefully
labeled and out of the children's
reach. (Are you sure that you
know what their reach is?).
