ADVICE TO DELAWARE FARMERS
State Board of Agriculture Urges Get
ting Rid Of Weeds and Underbrush

State Board of fAgricuIiure Urges Get
ting Rid Of Weeds and Underbrush
Getting rid of grass. weeds and
underground about the farm during
the fall and early winter is one of the
best protective measures the farmer
can use against crop-destroying in
sects the following year. according to
instrueting received by Delaware
farmers from the board Of agricul-
ture. According to the instruction,
weeds, matted grass, dead vegetation
and 0rambles along the ditch banks
and fences are the natural hiberna.ing
beds and breeding places for many
of the destructive insects. Grass
hoppers. the Hessian fly and the
chinch bugs sll lay their eggs in the
crab grass and falling vegetation. 1t
is recommended that all farmers fall
plow sod lands for other grass crops
another year and clear up the road
sides, fence margins and ditch banks
with blowing or disking. Burning
the vegetation will generally destroy
the insects. although in the case OF
grasshoppers, it is not so effective
as turning the sod. which not only
kills the insects. but also turns th'
humus into a soil benefit for the land
