der all plant refuse Will help to con-
troll the pest. The selection of crops
to displace corn must be made with
reference to the adaptation of the
soil, the markets, the labor supply,
and the live stock program on the
individual farm. Sugar beets, alfalfa,
soybeans, and small grains are some
of the crops which have been substi-
tuted for corn in areas where the
borer is already present and where
the necessity of cleaning up stalks
has added 81 to SIS per acre to the
cost of growing corn.
SLIDING and shredding cause almost
complete destruction of borers. A
change in the live stock program SO
as to utilize more Of the corn crop
in these forms is desirable on many
farms, the Foundation continues.
Hogging-down can be practiced, al
though it increases the difficulty of
cleanup methods. Corn stalks and
cobs in feeding yards and barn lots
will have to be cleaned up in early
spring after the borer is on the scene.
The pillow is the chief weapon Of
warfare against the borer when it Is
at close range. Flowing corn stalks
completely under is the most feasible
way to dispose Of them and the sim
plest, most effective way to prevent
severe commercial damage from the
borer. They must be completely COW

his establishment to see a backyard
neighbor queen of Wild West ball!
Winville stared, but he did not rec
ognize her. Even when he was intro
duced in the joyful manner of the
place he was no wiser. But he stayed
over three weeks and paid more at
tention to the girl than he did to his
book or the rock formations. Then
Gwen reached the end of her legal

a promise of secrecy she departed

n UTE often when Gwen Dalton
Y stood in her mothers kitchen she
could see, over the back fence, Prof.
Winville Larned working in his gar
den.
The girl wished she knew the
young professor but realized there
was little chance.
One day came a remarkable letter
of homestead opportunity, deplored
the fact that Gwen was girl instead
of boy, and concluded by suggesting
that she break away from "that hide
bound city and take try at real
life. 81 don't suppose for a minute
you WILL" Uncle Dick wrote, "but will
see that you are fixed up fine if
get wire saying you are coming"
Uncle Dick met her at station on
the end of the prairie. drove her into
the hills and established her in the
little cabin which must be her home
for fourteen months.
'Not so bad?" he said. "You stick
it out and all this, most as far as
you can see, will be yours. 1t will
be worth lot some day."
1t was lonesome at first, but Gwen
would not give in. She found the
neighboring women friendly, the fish
ing streams inviting and took great
JOY in riding to the foothills. Before
many months she had organized a
woman's club, was presiding over a
circle In home canning, and was a
member of another which was making
dress forms.
'"The farther apart people live" she
said with the discovery, "the more
neighborly they are. I never knew what
it was to have so many friends" And
she thought Of Professor Larned, just
over the fence at home, and yet fig.
ure remote and unapproachable.
1t was little later the professor
arrived. He was writing a book on
geology and wished to devote week
or two to study of formations near
the little prairie town.

stranger" she suggested. HE comes
