ORCHARD SHADE FOR CHICKS
Ideal Place for coops and Breeders.
Double Use May BE Made OF
SunfioWer Plants.

All will agree that an ideal place for
coops, colony coops and brooder coops
is in well grown orchard. There the
chicks have shade from the hot noon
day sun, but since every farm or poul-
try yard has not an orchard the ques-
ton of shade must be given some con-
sideration.
If there is no natural shade, coops
placed between rows Of sunfowers will
provide the chicks shade. Sunfowers
grow rapidly, provide good shade and
the seeds make good winter food for
the poultry. However, If one cannot
plant sunfiowers and there is no shade
for the chickens, muslin or old burlap
stretched over high poles will provide
shade. Anything that will cast a
shadow, so as to provide a place for
the chickens to rest in during the heat
of the day. Fruit trees always do well
when planted in chicken yards, espe-
cially when the ground is kept dug up
around them. BY all means remember
to provide some kind of shade to be
ready for the warm days, and the
chickens will be more comfortable and
thrive better.

INJURY BY coRNSTALK B0RER
One OF Reasons Why Corn stubble
Should Not Be Permitted TO Stand
len Field UndIsturbed.

tBy A. p. CONRADI. Clemson Agricui-
tural CoIlege.l
The cornstalk borer is one OF the
reasons why corn stuhble should not
be allowed to stand In the field all
winter undisturbed This insect Is one
OF the most notorious corn pests OF
the South. Without cutting the stalks
the evidence Of It's work may be seen
In every cornf1eld at the time Of her
vestfng by the holes that may occur
ON any portion of the stalk. These
holes vary largely In number.
The point to be remembered In the
life history stages and habits OF this
insect is it's habit of remaining as a
larva in the base Of corn stubble be-
low the ground during winter. Here.
therefore, is chance for those farm
ers who are friends of this species to
do 1t a great favor by allowing the
corn stubble to stand undisturbed In
their fields during fall and winter. De-
stroying corn stubble is not very easy,
except on modern farms where there
is sufficient horse power and the stub
bles can be turned under thoroughly
Turning under corn stubble Is OF
great help In reducing the cornstalk
borer for the next season. Where thor
ough turning cannot be practiced, there
are other methods, such as busting
out the stubble and hauling 1t to the
compost heap for rotting. After the
corn Is gathered the stalks, stubble and
everything else may be bursted out.
raked in heaps and after few weeks
for drying, burned.
In experimental work very large
percentage Of larvae was destroyed
during winter where the stubble was
plowed out and left exposed to the
weather. 1t can readily be seen that
when these methods are practiced by
farmers only here and there it does
not help the situation very much. The
control of the cornstalk borer depends
on the cooperative action of the farm
ers Of a community.

particularly necessary when the mar

expensive to ship small amount of

order to get the best price. BY CON-
bining the shipments the cost can be
very much reduced.

to prevent the beetles laying their
seed oil, mixed rather thick, will not
injure the trees, and when applied to
young, smooth bark, will form pro-
tective coat during the egg-laying sea-
son. 1t Is probable that this is a more
effective method than wrapping the
trees with building paper, cotton bat
ting, cloth or other materials some
times used for this purpose. Before
painting, however, the earth should be
removed from the base of the tree for
a depth of from three to four inches.
The surface of the trunk thus exposed
should be first scraped and painted
and the earth then replaced. This is
The Brandon news. (Brandon, Miss.) 1892-1961, 1915-08-26

necessary, for the beetle occasionally
lays her eggs under instead of above
the ground.
AS the insect In it's borer stage lives
and feeds under the bark, insecticide
sprays cannot be used successfully
against it. When the borer has
reached the adult stage IL feeds more
or less on the exposed surface OF
leaves and twigs and on the moisture
contained in the fresh castings thrown
out by borers still working in the
trees Arsenate of lead sprayed on
trees on which they are feeding would
kill many Of the adult beetles, but 1t Is
doubtful If 1t would pay ordinarily to
spray for the purpose Of killing this
insect alone, except in the case of a
badly infested orchard.

ing thereby a continued and an in

The Importance of the following
points should be kept in mind by all
persons who practice this method OF
borer control:
1. Borers should be removed from
the trees as soon as possible after
Matching.
2. Every borer In the orchard should
be found and destroyed.
3. Borers should not be allowed to
breed in cultivated or wild host trees
growing within at least 200 or 300
