CHOOSE CORN GROUND;
ESCAPE GRUB DAMAGE

White grubs are due to appear this
year in great numbers in those parts of
the state in which they inflicted great
damage in 1915.
H. F. Wilson of the agricultural ex.
perrin ent station, who has been keeping
track OF their whereabouts, reports that
if the pests perform true to form, they
will come up near the surface of the
soil this spring, feed on the roots of
whatever plants may be growing
there, and stay right on during the
summer and early fall.
Ihis crop pest has a life cycle of
three years; one year it is beetle and
lays eggs; the next year it is the white
grub and feeds upon roots; in the third
year it lays off, while it is changing
into June bug" or May BEETLE %
Last years swarm of June bugs is a
forerunner of white grub trouble this
season.
"The most effective way to control
the grub this year will be to plant corn,
potatoes, and other root crops on
ground that was not in sod, timothy, or
small grains last year." says Mr. Will
son. "These are the favorite egg lay :
ing grounds Of the beetle. However,
few grubs are wintering in last years s
cultivated fields, and corn planted in
such fields should not be badly infested
with the pests. Glover is a good crop
to plant on these infested fields, because
it does not suffer so much as corn or
some other crops.'
deep plowing and narrowing will
crush many of the grubs even now,
though fall plowing is the best preven-
tive. Chickens allowed to run over
newly plowed land will destroy large
numbers Of the white grubs"
