THE SQUASH VINE BORER.

Often Causes Death to squashes,
Pumpkins and MuskmeIons.
Prepared by the United States depart
ment Of agricultural
The squash vine borer Is an insect
which Is often responsible for the
death Of the squash, pumpkin, musk
melon, cucumber and gourd vines. The
pest prefers, however, the squash and
pumpkin vines. It is not easy to tell
just what IS affecting the vines at first
when they wilt and die down, but in a
short time the presence of the borer
may be detected by the. yellowish ex-
crement, or "frass," which they force
from their burrows In the stems. Later
natural rot appears at the affected
joints and the stems or leaves become
severed. @
The larvae bore through the stems
from the roots to the base Of the plant,
and through the leaf stalks. In fact,
the young larvae may be found In the
larger veins Of the plants and not in
frequently In the vegetables them
selves. The Hubbard squash, marrow
cymlings and other late varieties Of
squash often suffer the greatest injury
from the squash vine borer, and the
devastations are likely to be more

ROWLAND MAKES GOOD
BY J. p. YODER.

Four letters, properly arranged,
tell the chief reason why man who
led bush team last year is plotting
an American league team on or in
the constant vicinity of the top Of
the column this year. The four let
ters are TACT. The mans name
is Clarence Rowland. '.
Somebody has said, and a lot of
others picked up the saying, that
Rowland's middle name is Speed, -
For the edification< Of those who don't
know you can add that Rowland's
first name is "Tact."
1t would have been short of human
for some of the older men on the
White Sox register not to have had,
however deeply buried in their sys-
TENS, a feeling that was antagonis-
tic when they realized that they
would have to take orders from 'the
busher." 1t is not the same in any
other line of business. Rowland as
deeply realized this. And being not
only a student of the game, but a
student Of human nature, and espec-
tally baseball human nature as we'll,
he set out to batter down this feel
ing.
Ask any man on the Chicago Am
erican team today and he'll tell you
that Rowland is the goods. They're
for him, tooth, nail and batting eye.
They'll also tell you the reason. It's
because Rowland knew which man
to bawl out, he knew which man to
slap on the back when he pulled a
grand play-and which not to. He
studied his men and soon knew
which one needed a strong verbal
poke in a soft spot to get his fight
ing dander up. Where he applied
walloping sarcasm to this one, he
plastered on a bit of appeal to an
others pride, or smeared on a coat
ing of diplomatic stuff that aroused
a sense of rivalry in another.
To some of the older and more ex-
perienced players who were his heri-
tage as successor of the beloved jim
my Callahan, Rowland frankly went
for advice It made a hit. Every:
one was tickled in the place he liked
to be tickled.
But, an unbeliever might argue,
how about George stallings and his
bustling, busy battling Braves
That's easy. Stallings, the grinder
and driver, happened to have that
kind of men on his team. That's
the reason the Braves copied the
Big Flag last year. Every man jack
of them were the kind that needed
that kind of leading. They got
bumped where it tickled them most
eficaciously to get bumped

acutely felt in the small gardens than
where large crops are grown for the
market.
Not infreQuently crops are lost year
after year where the ground is success
sively planted to pumpkins, squashes
or other crops which the borers infest.
The insect is exceedingly difficult to
control in that ordinary insecticides
and repellents are practically useless.
Since the insect passes the winter in
the fields which it has ravaged, the
ground should not be replanted the
succeeding year to the crops on which
the borer lives.
Good results have often been OBJ
tanned by planting as trap crop as
early, as possible a few summer
squashes, such as crook neck and early
cymlings, before and between the rows
Of the main crop Of late varieties. The
summer squashes attract the borers in
such numbers as to leave a much
smaller number to deal with upon the
late or main crop. AS soon as the
early crop is harvested, or earlier If
the ground is needed for the main
crop, the summer sQuashes and vines
are raked up and burned to destroy all
larvae which they may harbor. The
same treatment is followed after gath
ering the late varieties. This method
has proved profitable where used in
New Jersey and should produce good
results farther. north. In the south,
however, where we'll defined broods of
borers appear, it may not be so eff
Gent, but is at least worthy Of thor
ough test.
The borer may be greatly reduced in
numbers by lightly narrowing the sur
faces Of the infested fields In the fall
so as to bring the cocoons to the sur
face, where they will be exposed to
the elements, and then blowing in the
spring to uniform depth of at least
six inches so that the adults will not
be able to come to the surface of the
soil.
Another cultural method which tends
to keep down the damage done by the
borer is to keep small part of the
vines after they have attained some
length covered with earth so that the
secondary roots will be sent out to
support the plants In case the main
root is injured by the borer. Still an
other aid is keeping the plants In good
condition, free from other insects and
disease, and we'll nourished. When
the vines are so badly infested as to be
Incapable Of bearing fruit they usually
die at once and should promptly be
taken Off the field and burned. As
soon as the crop is dead the old vines
should also be destroyed.
The old time remedy of cutting the
borers out Of the vines, although Ia
borious. is useful 1t is about the only
method open for employment after the
borers have entered the vines. A
sharp knife is used, and the cut made
lengthwise Of the vine. As several in
dividuals often infest single vine, it
is best to cut longitudinally. so as not
to sever the vine from the root stalk.
The wound will heal more quickly If
covered with moist soil. The location
Of the borer In the vine may be readi-
~ detected by the accumulation of yell
low ''frass,' or excrement, at the point
where it Is working.
