PERIL FROM INSECT PESTS
White Grub Working Great Damage

Saunders.

saws Prof. J. G. Sanders, state ento-
mplogist and particularly just now
check the devastation OF the white
grub. which throughout the southern
part of the state is working ruin to
tae corn crop.
Prof Sanders says that in Grant
county the corn crop is practically
ruined and that oil throughout the
southern section of the state the loss
win range from 80 to 80 per cent.
The white grub, he said is the worm
that develops into the June beetle,
but it takes three years to arrive at
the beetle stage and during that time
il lives on the roots of vegetation. 1t
is the three -year-olds, he said, that
now are working havoc with the corn
crop.
Proper rotation of crops and fall
blowing, Prof Sanders says, are the
most effective methods of combating
the grub. They thrive in the roots
OF grasses in the meadows and when
these are plowed in the spring and
the ground is planted to corn, or 9th
or cereals for that matter, they are
in prime condition when the crop be.

do il with disastrous results.
The grasshoppers in the northern
section of the state are becoming

should be a systematic warfare made
upon them. As they work above
ground they may be killed vita
sprays.
Wisconsin, he says, is behind other
states in making warfare on insect
pests but it must awake soon or the
awakening will be sad one later he
says, 10 per cent loss on the six
principal crops, corn. wheat. oats, bar
icy, rye and hay, would amount in
Wisconsin in single year to Sl3,-

Factories That Float.

Floating factories have become an
Important part Of the development
OF the forest resources OF India. In
certain parts OF the country forests
are only accessible through the water
courses. and the great expense OF
erecting land plants for the utilization
OF the lumber resources makes such
course impracticable. Therefore
sawmills and other manufacturing
establishments are built on floating
platforms and moved up the streams
as they are needed.
After the lumber is prepared In a
sawmill 1t can be packed in a way
that makes transportation much more
economical than any system OF log
ging. Plants for the preparation of
tannin extracts have also been estab-
lished in this manner. The plants are
built on fiat boats. 200 feet long by
q feet wide. capable of carrying a
load Of 40 tons.
