DESTROY CORN STUBBLE; Farmer* Can Reduce Damage from J Corn Stalk Borer by Turning Under Stubble in Fall. Oorn stubble should not be allowed to stand In the field all winter undisturbed. The corn stalk borer is one :>f the "reasons" for this. This insect in one of the most notorious corn pests of the South and evidence of it* work can be seen in practically any .'orn field at harvest time. It is the ause of the holes that may occur in iny portion of a stalk. The corn stalk borer remains as a arva, or worm, in the base of corn itubble beneath the ground during the winter. Farmers do this Insect a ;reut favor, therefore, when they let heir corn stubble stand undisturbed A 1 i! . I J J 1 i'.. 11 .. .. .3 ...tM 1 n i lit neiu uuriug i'Ui auu w iiHcr. Destroying corn stubble is not very ; pasy, except on modernly equipped j arms where there is sufficient horse j lower and the stubble can be turn- i ?d under thoroughly. There is. there- ' ore. some temptation to leave it un? iisturbed. Hut the advantages of urnitig stubble are such that a farmer cannot well afford not to do it. Fuming it under helps very much in educing the corn stalk borer for lie next season. Where thorough turning cannot be practiced, there are other methods ;ueh as "busting out" the stubble and lauling it to the compost heap for roting. Hv another method, after the or 11 is gathered, stalks, .stubble, and everything else may be "busted out." j *ahed into heaps and. after a few vceks for drying, burned. In experinentul work a very large percentage >f corn stalk borer larvae (worms) ivas destroyed during winter whore lie stubble was plowed out and left exposed to the weather. But when these methods are prac* iced by fanners only here and there, t will not help the situation very much. The control of the corn stalk borer depends upon the co-operative lotion of the fanners of a community. The fact must also he borne in mind that it is an extravagant practice to let corn fields lie idle and exposed during the winter months, not billy on account of these insect posts, hut also on account of the loss from washing and leaching of soils.

To prepare the spray from conmiorrial wash, dilute one gallon of the wash with eight and one-half gallons of cold water. (Trdinarily, one spray is enough. In had cases, spray as soon as the leaves are off and repeat in February. We do not recomnvntl spraying with this material after the buds have started.

Winter Time May be Utilize troy Insects Pests by Winter presents opportunities 011 the farm which do not offer themselves at any other season of the yeur, says A. F. Conradi, chief of the division of entomology of Clemson College. It certainly is a mistake to regard winter the off or idle season of the year. In conversation with a farmer living in the cotton boll-weevil territory, the writer was proudly told that this farmer had destroyed all his cotton stalks early in the fall. He was convinced that he had done the right thing and was resting easy and - intended to rest until planting time, j That this farme: was able to get his I crop picked in time to destroy his stalks early was excellent, but it was only Hie beginning of the campaign. His neighbors had not been * 1 . 1 A A I. _ A II ..1 .. 1.^ ai)to to uesirov ine siuikk ranv i?vcause it had not been possible to gather tlu> crop in time. On many farms this stop is neglected or omitted because its importance is not realized. Fight the Boll Weevil During Winter. On all the farms where cotton stalks are destroyed early, as well as on all the farms where this is not done, winter will hold a great opportunity before the farmers for a hoavv I blow against the boll weevil. Many over-wintering weevils can be found in trash and rubbish in the fields. They are at the mercy of the farmers if they only will refuse to believe thai j vif.cr is the off season. Many of the ( weevils can be destroyed bv collecting the trash and then composting or burning it. Plowing and subsequent harrowing the land is still more effective. The work does not end here. Multitudes of weevils leave the cotton fields and winter along hedges, fences. I turnrows. old b lildings and in other waste places. Can the farmer regard winter the season of rest when thes" i winter hotels are on his farm shelter | Ing hordes of weevils? Old sorghum stubble, which traps all kind of rub bish blown about by the wind, offers protection to the pest. The Bureau [ of Kntoniology. United St,ties Depart ment of Agriculture, gives an illus tration where the first infestation bv weevils in one of their experimental j fields occurred in the immediate vi einity of an old peach orchard Where I the weeds grew unchecked from veat to year. When State Entomologist of Toxa: ? the writer had an isolated experimen tnl field on which during one soasot wore artificially introduced IIO.OOO 1 iv ing weevils collected from othes fields. Tlxree weeks before the first killing frost, after the cotton had heei picked, the stalks were destroyed, tin field j)lowed and planted to a covoi crop. During the winter the neighbor hood of the field was cleaned of trash weeds, old grass and underbrush. Tin field, was planted in cotton the nox season and no appreciable injury re suited from weevils. Possibly thi was an exceptional opportunity fo making such a test hut similar case are on record.

From these worms ' the candleflies come next spring to ' lay eggs for a new brood of borers. Go into any corn-stubble Hold in the < South, pull up a stubble and split it i and you will see the larvae in the \ i * . . . _ J portion of the stubble below the , ground. Are we going to leave the stubble in the field all winter or make ; war on this army while they are at our mercy? Plow them under deep if possible. Otherwise plow them out and expose them to the winter weath- . er. We have killed as high as SO per , cent in this manner. 1 Preventing Red Spider in Cotton. While doing this we must not forget that along the edges of the held, along terraces, ditch hanks and other wssfo places are the old poke-weed plants, furnishing accommodations for cotton red spider. Similar accommodations exist around tenant houses where viojlets are grown. Destroy the poke 1 weeds, root and all. It would be worth iflie effort to go over it with your ten|ants and induce thein to .substitute some other flowers for violets. UnIdoubtedly. yet: nave seen the red spicier spread from tenant houses as cen;ters; you have seen, time and again.

Here they are diligently supported hv ants which have made burrows from J their nests to the roots of the plant, from where they transfer to the young cotton.
