A SERIOUS CORN PEST.

The larger cornstalk borer is an insect
pest that does much damage annually
to the corn crop from Maryland south
and as far west as Kansas. 1t was
originally an enemy Of the sugar cane
and is supposed to have been intro
duced into this country with cane cut
tings from the West Indies. Central
and South America. 1t is also found
in British Guiana. Java and Australia.
The damage by the worn is of two
kinds-that done first in the tender,
growing stalks when the leaves and
the crown are often riddled and that
which is done later in the season when
the worm boreS about in the base Of
the stalk just above and below the
surface Of the ground. This damage
is not always a~pparent-in fact, seldom
SO unless the weakened stalk Is bro
ken over by the wind, which prevents
the maturing Of the ear. In some
southern cornfields losses from this
source have run as high Us from 80 to
so per cent. AS in the case of other
pests which work injury to grain crops,
the work of the stalk borer can be
largely done away by a system Of crop
rotation in which small grains and
legumes are used, as the pest does not
persist unless there are stalks in
which pupae may spend the winter.
In case corn follows corn the damage
done by them may be reduced by plow-
ing the corn stubs under to a good
depth eSrly in the spring or by remov-
ing the whole stalks from the fed and
burning them.

THE WAY.

IN entertaining correspondent Of the

followed in the province Of Shantung.

the empire. One farm which he Wis
tied consisted of % acres and sup
ported a family Of twelve people, be-
sides one work cow one donkey and
two pigs. A forty acre tract in Amer
lea as densely populated would afford
a living for 1872 human beings, sixteen
cows, sixteen donkeys and thirtJ-two
pigs. The crops which were grown
on this Chinese farm were wheat or
barley Doth Of which crops were kept
hand hoed). millet. soy beans and sweet
potatoes. Instead Of hauling their ma
nure a1eId. as here. the Chinese farmer
takes considerable quantities Of soil
from the field TO his premises and
there enriches It with stable manure
night soil and every possible kind Of
refuse which. decomposed. will nourish
plants. When this is thoroughly COM
posted and its fertilizing elements
brought to the right condition 1t is
dried. pulverized aud applied to the
soil as is the ease with our ~concentrat-
ed commercial fertilizers. The China
man is behind the American In a good

many q lesson in soil conservation from

The only way that seems possible Of
explaining the all too limited use to

that It's very simplicity and cheApness
OF construction have tended to place Il
In disrepute. whereas IL 1t were an Inn
plement of Dad Improvement which

have come into more general use. But,
whatever the reason, the facts ~ they
stand prove that as yet we come .
long way from taking advantage Of tho
means within our reach for road inn
provement. Another phase Of this
same regrettable failure to do the best
we can is shown in the cry limited

list of varieties now regarded as

specially interesting because of the
absence of the very early varieties.
The following are the varieties

port we have received: Elherta,
Bell of Georgia, Crawford Late,
Reeves Favorite, Mountain Rose,
Chairs Choi"e, Carman, Francis,
Champion, Fox Seeding, Greensboro
and Ray. The Eiberta appears to
have a great lead over all others
and is a prime favorite wherever
peaches are grown. Belle of
Georgia, Crawford's Late and
Reeves Favorite share about equal
ly the second place, while the
Mountain Rose and Chairs Choice
come in close behind them. The
Elberta seems to give good results
everywhere. - The committee adds
