BEST PRACTICE IN FLOWING
According to Minnesota Expert II 10
Best to Deepen Burrows Gradu-
ally Each Year.

The nature Of the soil and the crop
to be grown should determine the Ques-
ton Of whether to pillow deeply or
more shallow. AS with most other farm
problems, the farm operators judg-
ment and experience must be called
into play in determining which prac-
tice is best on any farm.
Andrew Boss, vice director of the
Minnesota experiment station, believes
that deep burrows turned on edge, or
'three-quarters over" furnish the best
conditions for pulverizing and sweeten-
ing the soil. at is not good practice"
he says, ito d, epen the blowing great
ly in any one year. 1t is better to deep
en- II by one-half inch or an inch each
year until sufficient depth has been
reached. Rarely is 1t necessary to pillow
deeper than seven or eight inches, ex-
cept for certain deep-rooted crops like
sugar beets, carrots, potatoes and like
crops.
where ii Is desirable to incorporate
in the soil water-holding material, such
as a green manure crop or dressing
of coarse barnyard manure, deep plow-
ing is wise. Either very sandy or
very heavy dense clay would be bene-
ited by such treatment periodically"

-arva Is Dirty White Caterpillar,
About One Inch Long, With Brown
Head-Ears of Corn Are
Bored Through.

A million dollars worth of damage

the effect of the European corn borer
If II once gets established In the corn
belt of the United States. This is the
statement of George A. Dean, head Of
the entomology department in the Kan

The insect. which has done tremen-
dous damage in Europe and Asia. has
been introduced into New York and
Massa chusetts and is looked for In
other regions.
Larva Is White Caterpillar.
The larva of the European corn
borer is a dirty white caterpillar,
about an inch long with brown
head. II passes the winter in q nearly
full-grown condition within its food
plants. In the spring its growth is
completed and 1t then bores its way TO
the surface of the food plant. where 1t

The larva now forms cocoon In the

two weeks, deposits 300 to 700 eggs on
the food plant. In about five days the
eggs hatch. and the young larvae at
first feed on the tender shoots of the
plants. but finally bore their way into
the main stem of the plant. In about
six weeks, after burrowing through all
parts Of the plant. the larvae pupate
as before and emerge as moths about
the middle of summer.
The female moths Of the second
brood do the greatest damage to corn,
since they attack not only the stalk,
but also the tassel and the ear, and
continue feeding until cold weather.

FALLAcI0US IDEA OF SHEEP
Animals VIII Consume More Weeds
and Shrubs Than Other Animals,
but Need Some Feed.

Many formers who have failed with
sheep have gone into the business with
the rallacious idea that sheep will eat
anything. simply because some misin-
formed person started the tale. Sheep
will consume more weeds and shrubs
than any other class Of animals, but tc
turn them into the woodlot and expect
them to thrive on sprouts and dry
leaves is asking too much Of their d.
gestive systems. However, there is
usually waste land on most farms on
which the sheep may be kept at certain
periods of the year very probably.

Mr.. Greaves was assigned to find a
substitute that would keep down the
insect pests with a minimum of trou-
BILE and expense to the farmer. The
answer is turkeys and guineas.
Mr.. Greaves declares that flocks Of
turkeys and guineas consume millions
of grasshoppers and other insect pests,
and naturally do their own foraging.
Early in the season the experimental
fiocks at the agricultural college have
grown fat and strong on the young
insects.
Later in the season they have re-
ceived the abundant exercise necessary
for their proper market conditioning
by chasing the elusive hoppers, have
saved the field corps and provided a
new, big source of income.
