But when a dozen are found In q

that It's usefulness Is past. The chief
thing Is TO exclude the borer from

trouble from them the trees should be-
wrapped with some kind Of material
that will entirely exclude the borers.
Some orchardists use wrapping paper

A discussion recently arose among
the officers and statesmen OF the DAVID
Bradley Mfg Co. a. regards the dis
position a. corn stalks after the re-
moyal Of the corn and lodder--some
being under the impression that ma
Jority Of the farmers burn Their stalks,
while others claimed they we're pl0N-
ed under. Il was finally decided that
an Inquiry be sent 10 the Agricultural
Department Of the Illinois University
at Urbana. M. We give below the
substance Of the reply to the inquiry.
which will be OF great interest 70 our
readers. especially those interested In
farming:
David Bradley Mfg Co. Bradley. III:
Gentlemen-Your letter Of June
18th regarding burning OF corn stalks
was referred 10 me-. a reply has been
delayed because Of my absence from
the university. I would say that as
a general rule Il is better 10 pillow corn
stalks under than to burn them. A
ton Of corn stalks contains about 10
pounds Of nitrogen. which Is lost In
burning. and. Of course. a. the corn
decays In the ground they form a
large amount Of humus. which Il al
ready becoming more or less deficient
In most Illinois land. There are times
however. when Il Is probably better
10 sacrifice this nitrogen and humus
and burn the stalks. Thus. II one
has a heavy growth Of stalks on his
land which must be plowed late in
the spring In a dry season. II would
undoubtedly be better 20 burn the
stalks. because this amount Of decay
ed coarse organic T..atter would inter
fere with the capillary action and
cause the land 10 dry out. and prob
ably produce greater injury 10 the
crop that season than would ever be
cOunterbalanced ty subsequent bene-
fits due 10 the turning under Of the
stalks. II, however. the stalks can
be plowed under late In the fall or
early spring OF at any time In the
spring. II the season is fairly wet. and
the stalks are well broken or cut into
small pieces so that the ground settles
down and capillary action Is not In
terfered with. then ! would certainly
prefer blowing the stalks under. In
general farm practice when the humus
content Of soils becomes somewhat
reduced. the practice OF burning
stalks grows less and finally practic-
ally ceases. cyril G. Hopkins.

II will not stand flooding OF stagnant
water n is better. think. not TO
pasture alfalfa. as the yield OF hay or
green fodder will he larger than that
which has been pastured.
When an alfalfa field is pastured
the stock tramps down the soil
which binders It's growth. And ind
that when the stems are grazed the
stalks die down. and Of course the
shoots come from the upper part OF
the root. and this Is one reason that
I do not believe alfalfa fields should
be pasiured. The stems OF many
other forage plants when cut branch
out above the ground. forming shoots
that grow up and take the place %
