FLOWING FATAL TO INSECTS
Countless Numbers Of Crop Pests Can
Be Destroyed by Disklng Ground
During Fall.

Various field insects pass the winter
In the soil. Some of them make earth
ien nests lined with silk, while others
hide at the base Of the roots Of plants
A. g. Ruggles, state entomologist Of
Minnesota, thus explains how count
less numbers of crop pests can be de-
fstroyed:
"When the insect Is in the transi-
itional period between the larva or
worm and the adult they are very sus-
iceptible to disturbances. Disking or
blowing the ground In the fall disturbs
these forms and many Of them die. 1t
is also known that alternate thawing
and freezing weather has a destructive
effect upon insect life. Many insects
can endure freezing alone, but alter
nate freezing and thawing Is fatal.
) "Also many Of the more delicate
forms, If the blowing Is done properly,
can be covered so deeply with soil that
they are unable to reach the surface
the following year. Many insects ex-
posed by the pillow are also devoured by
birds. For these reasons disking or
blowing are operations recommended
by all economic entomologists"
