Crop Rotation and Root-Aphi..


From the fact that In the midst OF
the corn belt, and where the root-aphis
Is known to prove destructive under
certain conditions, almost complete Inn
munlty is secured where a system of
crop rotation has been carried out for
many years, involving but one corn
crop In the cycle of rotation. 1t is self
evident that this measure offers the
greatest protection from the ravages OF
this pest, says a government report.
Indeed, 1t is only where such a sys-
TEN of crop rotation Is not practicable
that the root-aphis need be considered
In farm practice. To the eastward,
where there is more general rotation
of crops, this pest does but little In
jury.
Unfortunately, local conditions, often
extending over large sections of coun-
try, VIII not permit Of crop rotation
being generally adopted, and some 9th
er plan more feasible must be put into
practice. Two other methods may be
followed One of these is practicable
throughout the corn-growing section of
the country in seasons of not more
than normal precipitation during the
time intervening between the first
blowing of the ground and the first
of the young corn. The 9th
er is perhaps best adapted to the south
ern portion of the country on account
of the milder winters.
