Mascagni played the Intermezzo.

Maximum yields Of grain must be
produced not only during the present
year but for several years to come.
The present international situation
renders this imperative. Insects are
responsible for great reductions in
grain crops annually, but such losses
are largely preventable. The injuries
caused by insects often remain unnO-
ticed except where their work is very
conspicuous.
A great portion Of the annual loss
to the grain crop due to insect injuries
can be avoided by vigilance and Wig
orous action on the part Of the grain
growers. Insect outbreaks frequently
originate within limited areas, and
when this is the case it is often pos
sible to stamp them out before any
great damage has occurred. In other
instances the outbreaks are of general
origin, and them community action
is essential in order that the inroads
Of the pest may be overcome. The
crops, such as the Hessian fly, the
chinch bug, and white grubs, belong to
the latter class. In the case of these
and other widely distributed foes OF
the grains no means Of stopping their
ravages will be fully successful until
community action can. be secured in
adopting the methods of combat at
present advocated by entomologists.
Fall blowing, doubtless, is the most
universally beneficial practice for the
control of the insect pests Of cereal
crops, and this measure should be
adopted except where it is rendered
impossible by local agricultural condi-
tons. Corn never should be planted
on freshly broken sod land, because
this practice is almost certain to ex-
pose the crop to the ravages Of cut
worms, wirewormS, and white grubs.
Crops belonging to the bean family,
such as cOwpeas, soy beans, clover, al
falfa, etc., may be interposed safely
between sod and grain and especially
between sod and corn, in order that
injury to the grain crops by these
pests may be avoided.
Keep in close touch with your coun-
ty agent, state experiment station, or
federal chronological station. Report
all serious insect outbreaks to these
officials and seek their expert advice
in all cases of doubt regarding treat
ment for, or identity of, insect pests.
Have supply of insecticides and a
practical spraying outfit on hand at
all times. Watch your crops.
