PUBLICITY TO REMEDY
FOR THE CORN ROOT LOUISE

The remedy for the corn root louise
which was given at the Rock Island
county farmers institute at Port By
ron recently was brought to the attcn-
ton of the state institute at Quincy

One of the most astounding reports
of the past year was made by DR.. S. a.
Forbes, our state entO-nOloSiSt - that
1Gl 900 acres of corn had been destroy
ed in five or six counties of central IL
linos by three insects. the corn ROOT
aphis, the corn root worm and the
white grub. An expert spent several
weeks in personal examination of Hi
nOiS corn fields and found nearly as
bad conditions in two other sections
of the state.
In view of the importance of prac.
teal measures for controlling the corn
root aphis, DR.. Forbes prefacCd his nd
dress lasl week at the Quincy mectinG
of the state farmers institute by a
brief synopsis of the experimental
work Of his Office on this insect last
year. and described treatment OF
seed corn which he had found SurpriS
ingly effective as Il protection of tho

| creased yield of p per cent i'll number
of ears borne by plots grown from sect
