PLAN FOR FIGHT
i m CAHE BORER
Parasites From Tropical Coun
tries Offer Best Means of
Destroying Pests.
CONFINED TO THREE REGIONS
Insects Reduce Yield of Sugar In
Varying Measure, Averaging About
20 Per Cent Feed on Other
Plants Than Sugar Cane.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Importation of parasites from Cuba
and other tropical countries offers the
most hopeful method of ridding the
sugar-cane growing region of the
United States of the sugar-cane moth
borer, or at least of keeping it under
control and reducing the injury from
it.
Damage In Three Regions.
TThe sugar-cane moth borer In the
. United States Is confined to three iso
lated regions, closely conforming to the
areas of large commercial plantings
of sugar cane southern Louisiana
. southern Florida, and the extreme
southern tip of Texas. Throughou
those regions it reduces the yield o:
sugar In varying measure, averaging,
perhaps, about 20 per cent. The
chief damage results from the larva
tunneling lengthwise through the ma
ture cane, not killing it, but Injuring
It severely, retarding its growth, and
subjecting it to the fungous disease
known as red rot. ' A measure of
damage follows larval attacks upon
.very young plants, resulting In what
lis known as dead hearts.
Y The moth borer feeds on a number of
plants other than sugar cane, render
ing usual methods of control extraor
dinarily difficult and, for .the most
part, not efficacious. Experiments in
! poisoning, attraction to light traps,
and the like have not proved effective.
iFlve definite recommendations ' are
i made, however, other than the Intro
I duction of parasites.
j How to Fight Pests.
Scraps of cane left about the fac
tory and derricks after the grinding
i season should be destroyed, probably
by burning, and cars in which cane Is
shipped should be kept free of such
- scraps. Seed cane should be planted
j In the fall and kept as deeply covered

in- bordeaux-mixture or absolution of
nicotine sulphate previous to ship
ment. The 'trash," "leaves," or
"shucks" left on the fields after cut
ting should not be burned but should
be lightly covered with earth In the
fall and plowed out In the spring. The
cutting out of "dead hearts," and
dead plants is said to be theoretically
sound practice - and, where an 1 abun
dance of cheap labor Is obtainable,
might be recommended.
It Is pointed out that the Introduc
tion of parasites has proved effective
In Hawaii, and that experiments in
the United States have 'given promis
ing results. If the introduction of
beneficial parasites can be undertaken
It should be done on a large scale, and
It would be advisable to station two
men in Cuba to collect the parasites,
and one in Louisiana to receive and
ultimately to release .them" on thai
plantations.

"Washington. Steady reduction In
the number of women employed by
railroads Is taking place as the result
of demobilization and the return of
soldiers to their old jobs. From the
high mark of 101,785 -women em
ployes, on Oct. 1, 1918, the number
was decreased 14.3 per cent by April
1, when 85,893 were still on the pay
rolls. The first women to be let go were
those engaged In heavy work in
roundhouses and shops. In the cleri
cal occupations, such as ticket selling,
where 72 per cent of the women
were used, reduction has been small,
68,119 still being employed, many of
whom will likely remain permanently.
Statistics compiled by the Railroad
administration show that 5,000 wom
en were employed in shops and 1,000
in roundhouses in 1918.

Squirrel-tail grass or wild barley U
a bad weed. It helps spread the rust
of wheat and oats which has been
found on it every year for 30 years in
Iowa, and it Is injurious to stock, and
especially horses. The : awns pierce
the mucous membrane of the mouth
causing irritation and finally ulcera

wild barley can be exterminated by
keeping it from producing seed. This
is simple enough, but It Is often diffi
