Accident Proves Worth of Treating Soil for Insects • By J. R. Franck iMHi Countv AflMtf 1 aaawwiiy ^^ggs^eee . To learn from one’s own ex perience is excellent learning, but rather slow U this is the only way we learn — especially in farming.' Successful farmers must also learn from the experience of others. farmers whose land is heavily infested with soft infcects such as Billbugs, wireworms and cutworms can learn a good lesson from the experience of C. L. Davis of Pol iocksville. Davis treated his sol on practically his whole > farm, with an insecticide caged Aldrin, to control soil insects. . Through error, one small field received no aldrin. A stand count on this untreated field showed an average stand of one stalk of com every 33 inches whereas in an ad jacent treated field planted at the same time the stand count showed .one stalk every 19 inches. In the untreated field, one out of every ?ve stalks showed stunting from iUiworms whereas only one out of every 38 stalks in the treated field showed damage. , Any successful farmer can tell you that no profit can come from :» field of com having only one stalk every 33 inches. In fact this jfield of corn is almost sure to lose money. roe question naturally follows, “How much does it cost to treat land with aldrin.” The -cost is very Jam as compared to benefits ob tained. Four to five dollars per acre jwill pay, for, jhe treatment and one treatment ,will last for 2 years. ,Aldrin is preferably applied broad cast to the soil in either a dry form or a liquid form one month prior Jo planting. It is best to apply the material to the land just after it■ is broken and disk it in thoroughly. Many farmers have found that aldrin does an eacellent job of soil insects should contact their .county farm agent’s office or vo cational agrioilture teacher for' further information. . It might be added here that not all fields are heavily, infested with soil insects but in Jones County a high percentage of the farm land js loqded with these pests and the 5S»J: ;*• . .y G6od Printing Is y 4?^WithU«!
