Stir the soil thoroughly previous to

cedure is to disturb the ant colonies
and scatter and kill the aphids so as
to enable the plants to make sub
stantial growth before the ant and
aphid colonies can become re-establish-
ed, and also to prevent the growth of
weeds upon which the aphids live,
making it necessary for the ants to
carry the surviving aphids to new
fields. If infested fields are to be re-
planted to corn, pillow them to depth
