With high labor and everything, we must make more corn if we are to continue growing it at all. Last year, I had a high nitrate demonstration right through the middle of a big field of corn. One thing I noticed, to my surprise, was that billboga hardly bothered that strip at all, while they did considerable damage to the rest of the field. So the higher yield, that I expected and got from the extra soda, was raised still higher on account of escaping the bug injury there."
