CETIZENS WITH CORN IN GARDEN SHOULD CO-OPERATE. - The corn borer, which has been such a menace to crope in Western Ontario and throughout a great part of the United States, is now found in considerable numbers in this dis- tric. Many farmers surrounding Listowel report its appearance and also many of the citizens of. the town who have corn in their gar- lens, This year fields of corn In many localities are damaged to the extent that stalks are broken over in large D some good, thorough clean-up work is done thie fall, mot only by the farmers, but by the people living In the cities, towns and villages who grow corn, the fut- ure of corn growing here is douwbt- ul. Unless fields of corn are eare- fully examined {It Is almost unbelley- able to note this Insect has spread in one year and the damage it is doing Where the corn borer ia numerous it may attack other plants than corn. Other plants affected may any coarse stemmed plant like sweet clover, alfalfa, ple weed, rag weed, ss lg rhubarb and. even grape vines. ‘he corn borer which you now find working in ur cor through the wint in that stage. During the month May these bor- ers pulpate and about June ist will emerge in the mot or butterfly form. In the moth form they mate, fly and Jay their eggs on the under side of the corn leaves. Each fe- male will lay around 400 eggs per year, and they are capable of flying distances of at least 20 miles. The eggs are laid in clusters, means that the moth may lay a few eggs In several different parts of the corn fleld, then fly four or five miles and lay more. On account of the moths being able to fly it makes it absolutely necessary for each and every person best of their ability in controlling the borer. It cannot be eradicated, but It can be controlled {f everyone will get busy this fall. Some excellent advice as to con- Oo trol Is given by Mr..0.°G. Agne agricultural agent for Jefferson County, > writes: Corn s ould be cut low and paces in the sflo If posskble. If ur corn !s cut low you can do a batter job of completely plowing unde and burying the stubble and refusy. If it is not placed in the silo that part of the stock which the cattle do not eat should be kept In a sep- arate pile and burned before May 1st, All stubble ears from husking corn refuse d weeds adjacent to the eorn field should be elther burned or completely and thoroughly plowed under this fall. Plow under so com- y that not a sign of corn >, leaves, ears, husks or weeds can be seen any place on the entire field. People living In the cities and vil- Jages having sweet corn in their gar- dens and having no m ft dis- posing of their stalks, pinals pull them, together wit weeds growing near the corn and thoroughly burn them this fall, The corn in your garden not cared for furnishes a breeding place for the ‘borer next year and both you and your natghbors will suffer loss from your carelessness. account of the moths being able to fly, one fleld of corn not preperly taken care if this fall fur nishes a breeding ground which will ecatter the borers far and wide for many miles next year. Do not, think you are Immune and need not be careful about this clean- n the 6.juet enough in your fleld or | saaen unseen to spread the [Insect next year.
