are symetimes called the dairy-Cow
of the ant. There are two little
glands on the abdominal portion of
the insect that CXude a swedish
fluid that the ant likes and uses for
food. The best way to combat this
pest is by very late fall blowing
which by the way is the greatest
common bug remedy. BY exposing
their burrows the winter weather
kills them. Then in the springtime
the work should be begun as early
as the ground is in condition and
absolutely clean culture maintain.
ed until late corn planting time.
These bugs cannot travel very well,
and if all green vegetable matter is
kept destroyed the insects starve.
By treating the ground in this way
it will again be several years before
serious mischief will occur. Anoth-
er one is the corn root worm This
is a very small white grub that
matches usually during July and
eats the roots off the corn during
that month and August. Their
work is indicated by the corn lying
down and largely in spots and in
various directions. 1t will be MOTTO
ed the better and heavier stalks are
usually the ones that 90 down. This
insect lives in this stage only two
or three months and the larvae eats
nothing but corn roots. This fact
will make it clear that a rotation
of crops or changing the land from
corn to something else will hold
this pest in subsection.
Another is the corn ear worm
that did an enormous amount of
mischief this year. This is always
true of droughty year or a year in
which meadow and pasture grasses
do not thrive. Perhaps the only
things that we know of to destroy
this pest is cold winter weather,
late fall blowing and fungus dis
ease.
The late crop report for Missouri
indicates a yield this year of Is $40
bushels per acre. Ten years ago
the state yield was 8 bushels per
acre with more rainfall in the state
in 1901 than we had in 1911. That
we have about 2 IL times as much
corn this year as we had then can
to a great degree be accounted for
in three ways. One is that more
we'll bred seed corn was planted
last spring than ever went into Mis-
souri, soil in any previous year. The
next factor was that the seed bed
was better prepared than ever be-
fore. And the third was that the
fanciest job of cultivation that was
ever done in corn fields happened
in Missouri in 1911. Joe Wing said
that the first farmers institute ever
held was many years ago when two
farmers leaned across the fence and
talked to one another and in that
institute they both learned some
thing So in Missouri within the
last ten years we have talked these
things to improve our methods
among ourselves and the results of
this 1911 have followed.
There are one or two more things,
yet that we should learn and we are
talking it across the fence pretty
lively. That is that we must take
means to make the soil better at
the same time we grow our crops
A man who is not doing this is
farming wrong and to his own in
jury. Not so much, however, to his
own injury as to the injury of those
who are to follow him. Our fertile
