Plans to deploy more than 50 boats by July 3 include launches, speedboats, and a radio-guided fleet directed from a riverfront secret HQ to curb the tide before July 1. The coast guard, customs border patrol, and other agencies will field hundreds of officers and vessels, following a seizure of a rum runner near Amherstburg.

New Jersey Tests Short Season Corn To Battle Borer
New Brunswick AP reports New Jersey plans to curb the European corn borer by growing thick stalk short season varieties. Over seventy strains are being tested at the state agricultural experiment station to find resistant or less damaging types. Officials hope early variety recommendations will reduce damage as borers spread. Dr. B Spare says early planting and rapid growth may limit injury. Short-season strains could become a vital option for New Jersey farmers. The state's corn crop adds about eight million dollars in annual labor value.
