Control of the Corn Borer. Carelessness in cleaning up in the fall probably means loss and perhaps disaster in the year to come in disâ€" tricts infested by the cornâ€"borer. Be sure therefore that the cleanâ€"up of . your fields is thorough, giving parâ€" |ticular attention to see that the brecding grounds and nests of insects [ax‘e thoroughly purged. In this conâ€" | nection special regard should be paid {to the counsel of the Dominion Entoâ€" ‘ mologist relative to the corn borer. This in brief is: Cut the corn immediâ€" ately it is ready; cut the corn as close to the ground as possible; don‘t pasâ€" 'ture off corn or stalks after husking with cattle or hogs; ensile the entire corn crop wherever possible; where a silo is not in use shread or run through a cutting box all fodder corn before feeding; where fodder corn is fed as stalks collect all parts of the plant not eaten, place in heaps and burn; do not use corh stalks for bedding and throw them into the manure unless they can be buried in horse manure; plow and roll all corn land as speedily as posâ€" sible after harvest so that every piece of stalk and stubble is below ground, and do not harrow until the spring at‘ the earliest; pull up kitchen g&rdonl sweet corm and burn as scon as the| stalks are dry enough; plow down, field table sweet corn and roll as soon] as the crop is barvested; collect all uncaten and refuse corn about buildâ€"| ings and barnyards and destroy, and burn weeds and grass along feces andl headlands about the old corn fields. _ Answer: Good results have been reâ€" ported from fall setting of raspberries, but as a rule spring planting gives the best stand, unless you are located in the warmer counties of Ontario. I would advise preparing the land for the canes this fall. Plow it deeply as soon as you can and give the reeds a chance to come along.â€" These can be destroyed cheaply and effectively this fall. Do not lime the soil. Raspâ€" berries are not helped by liming; in fact, experiments show that Hming reduces the yield. As soon as the land will work in spring, cultivate in about 500 lbs. per acre of a 5â€"12 fertilizer, then set the canes. It is late to get a good stand of alfalfa this year.

Harrow this in thorâ€" oughly. When seeding, use 20 lbs. !orvchard grass to 8 to 10 lbs. sweet clover seed per acre. I would use the biennial sweet clover. Some farmers do not favor sweet clover as a pasture. A. E. S8.; I have about 1,000 raspâ€" berry plants ready to plant out. Would it be all right to plant them now or would you advise me to wait till next apring? I have also a field in pasture for four years.

Would it be too late to sow alfalfa if done at once? sweet clover? Would it be best to run over the field with a spikeâ€"tooth drag or not? If those grasses would not do on the sod, what would you suggest? Answer: Red Top grass usually grows when sodl is sour. Sweet chover and orchard grass both thrive in soibsl rich in lime, therefore I would not clover and orchard grass could be sown on redâ€"top sod for permanent pasture. Soil is rather light sand.
