European Corn Borer W ill
Not Be a National Menace
’ j EUROPEAN CORN BORER
■ i SITUATION LESS ALARMING
Experience of Last Season Indicates
Pest Not So Serious as An
ticipated
The experience of the past season
i with the European corn borer leads
; the United States Department of
! Agriculture to make the statement
t that, apparently, there is little justi
j Heat ion for alarm over the possibil
ity of the insect's becoming a men
! ace to the corn crop throughout the
entire country. While the. corn borer
is a pest to he reckoned with and one
, that may cause considerable injury
I to susceptible varieties of corn in
I j certain localities, its effect on the
| corn crop of the country as a whole,
j especially in the corn belt, is unlike
j ly to be serious.
j These reassu’-ing facts have been
’ discovered as the result of the de
; partmenUs work during the past sea
sen :
Serious Damage Only Near Boston
Up to the present time, the corn
[borer has inflicted considerable dam
age to corn only in the Boston dis
trict, where the corn grown is of
the sweet and dwarf varieties and
where the corn borer, owing, to the
climatic influence of the gulf stream,
is two-'brooded. After ten years of
slow spread, the insect has attacked
occasional fields of sweet and flint
corn, under conditions favoring mul
tiplication of the borer, to the extent
of nearly 100 per cent of the stalks
and 20 to 50 per cent of the ears.
However, in most of the fields in the
area now invaded in coastal Massa
chusetts and New Hampshire, the in
jury has been negligible. When the
corn borer larvae are limited to the
stalks, the ears, as a rule, are nor
mal. Even when the larvae enter
the ears, the injury is certainly not
greater than that caused by the or
dinary corn car worni, which is reck
oned at about 7 per cent by weight
of the kernels of each ear attacked.
, The presence, of corn borer larvae in
[ ears of sweet corn has not in any
II case prevented the sale of the corn
•and. in most instances, it has been
I sold at the ordinary market price.
41 As a result of the past season's
I investigations, the department be
' lieves that the corn borer was
[ brought to this country in 1909-10
[•with importations of about 10,005
"tons! of broo mcorn, chiefly from
; (Hungary. Some of this broom corn
j was used near Boston and some in
'■’the region in New York where the
: insect vzas first found in that state.
! But the bulk of the broom corn went
j! to St. Louis. Chicago, New Orleans
and other western and southern cities
[ end was widely distributed to broom
• factories. A wide dissemination of
the corn borer throughout the Mis
sissippi valley, therefore, is entirely
possible.
|; The only kinds of corn that have
been shown to be damaged to any
appreciable extent by corn borer are
i tweet corn and the dwarf flint va
rieti s. The few fields of common
i field corn (Dent) grown in the in
[ vadod area in Massachusetts, both by
farmers and as a part of the depart
ment's experiments, were practically
free from infestation. In the large
. 'A
Tin.'; .'.TIUr .H-WEEKLY .IOUBX AL. ATLANTA, GA. I • Alba i , J.W.AKI 10,
i area in western New York, deter
mined this fall to be infested and
where it is believed the infestation
is of ten years' standing, large
stalked corn is commonly grown, it
was “so scantily infested that dis
covery of the insect in most fields
was possible only by the most in
tensive search.
As a single-brooded insect, the corn
borer is a negligible factor, even in
the production of sweet corn and tiic
dwarf varieties. It iis a single
brooded insect in New York, and,
by fair inference, will be single
brooded throughout the northern por
tions of the corn belt. In New
Yoik, where the insect has pre
sumably been present for nine or ten
years, a great deal both of sweet corn
■and flint corn are grown, and no ap
preciable Injury was c--.ff<sr-2d.
Fcos.biliiy of Cultural Control.
There is, apparently, a possibility
of cultural control. The only place
where appreciable injury has result
ed' from the corn borer is the truck
ing and small garden district im
mediately around Boston, where the
truckers have universally complain
ed of a shortage of labor. There
has been very general neglect of
weed growth along roadways, on
waste land and even in home and
truck gardens. The insect —known
to have more than 100 food plants—
bred in such grass and weeds. The
corn grown throughout this area is
in patches of from a fraction of an
acre to a few acres and evidently
attracted and concentrated the in
sects from th surrounding weeds.
Tlte worst infested fields were usual
ly either poorly tilled and weedy
or surrounded by neglected, weedy
areas. There were notable examples
in the center of this district of well
tilled fields of sweet corn with clean
surroundings in which injury was
negligible.
The menace to the corn crop of the
country, then, is minimized by the'
slight susceptibility of common corn
to borer attack; by the practical cer
tainty that the insect will be single
brooded over the main corn-growing
areas and ttyat where single-brood
ed it inflicts no injury even on small
types of corn; and that good culture
in clean surroundings appears to be
a control measure.
Where BOrer is Known to Occur.
The European corn borer is now
known to occur over the entire coast
al region of Massachusetts, includ
ing Cape Cod and adjacent islands,
and over several towns in southern
New Hampshire, approximately 1,800
square miles; in New York, in the
Mohawk Valley between Amsterdam
and Albany, about 800 square miles;
in western New York, over an area
of at least 500 square miles, and
the area of known infestation is con
stantly expanding as the survey pro
ceeds; and over a limited area in
Erie County, Pennsylvania.
In view of this known wide dis
tribution and the possibility that it
may exist in numerous other local
ities, and in view also of the large
number of plants on which it feeds,
the Department of Agriculture real
izes that extermination of the corn
borer is out of the question except
perhaps in limited areas of Intensive
production, and that the problem now.
is to determine the areas infested,
the economic importance of the in
sect in different regions, and the pos
sibilities of practical control or ex
termination within small areas. For
these purposes. Congress has been
asked to make an appropriation of
$500,000.
Sweet Potato Varieties
The United States department of
agriculture is working out a key by
means of which varieties of sweet
potatoes can be identified. There
has always been a great’ deal of con
fusion regarding sweet potato varie
ties, and this key will make it pos
sible to positively identify all true
varieties. It is based on the color,
size and shape of the stems and
leaves, and in the color,, size, and 1
quality of the potatoes themselves.
That the key works is attested by
the fact that by its use varieties de
scribed at the time Columbus dis
covered America have been identi
fied.
The, development of varieties of
sweet potatoes for stock fed, sirup,
starch afid. sugar making is und r
way, and the preliminary results se
cured indicate that the possibilities
of the sweet potato have hardly
been touched upon. It is yet too
soon to say just' what may be ex
pected from this work, but the re
sults thus far secured are very
promising. This work is being done
at' Arlington Farm, Va., and at the
I’eo Dee Experiment station, Flor
ence, S. C.
Investigational work in curing
sweet potatoes has also brought out
important results. It was shown
that 1 with proper handling in storage
conditions, swet potatoes can be car
ried through the winter and as late
us April 1 with not more than 1 per
cent of lOS.S from decay.

SAWDUST AND COR K—A STORY
OF SUCC ESSFUL MARKETING
Did you have a basket of fruit on
your table during the holidays.? And
did you notice any big red grapes
in it?
In his day your grandfather may
have had a wonderful feast at Christ
mas or New Year's, but he didn’t
have, any big, red grapes, or prob
ably any other kind of grapes, to
set it off.
A few years ago there were no
American-grown grapes on the mar
ket during the holidays. To be sure
there were some Spanish grapes that
lingered over until the holidays, but
these were a rare delicacy by Christ
mas time. For a generation our ag
ricultural explorers have been bring
ing back from southwestern Europe
the best v:.-’’jties of vinifera grapes
for planting in the southwestern
United States. Among these varieties,
the Red Emperor ripened slightly
later than some of the others and
possessed good shipping qualities.
Tn an effort to extend the market
ing season for California grapes the
United States department of agricul
ture made experiments on their keep
ing qualities and Has succeeded in
devising methods under which the
Red Emperor can be held in stor
age for two or three months in prime
condition. Before’ the department of
agriculture tackled this problem the
marketing season for California
grapes extended from the middle of
August to the end of November.
Some times the job of producing
itself is only one-half the battle and
even production on a large scale may
await the successful working’ out of
plans for shipping and handling the
products, especially in the case of
highly perishable products such as
grapes.
Cha Virtues of Sawdust
Long’ ago the Spaniards were ship
ping grapes packed in cork dust to
other countries. ?.t is probable that
the old commercial dons did not know
why cork dust was such a good pack
ing material lor grapes, but they did
know that grapes put up in cork dust
kept well in shipment to distant
markets.
Today Uncle Sam’s commercial
scientists delve a little deeper into
such problems and find that the
“reason why” helps in evolving nefr
methods and adapting old ones to
modern needs. These men found out
that cork dust or certain kinds of
sawdust had several virtues: Firist
of all, such packing filled in the
spaces around the grapes and sterhs
and supported them in a firm pack.
It also absorbed the moisture that
was on the grapes and thus left de
cay organisms “high and dry” so
that they could not damage the
grapes, mostufre being necessary for
such organisms to thrive. It also in
sured the grapes against bruising
and puncturing of their skins and
thus helped to exclude decay.
Sawdust is one of the best insulat
ing’ materials and prevents rapid
changes in temperature from affect
ing the grapes, which, when packed
in it, maintain a more even tempera
ture than they otherwise would. All
these things make for less loss in
the marketing of grapes, permitting
their storage, and are the reasons
Why you can njoy grapes during the
holidays.
Cork Dust Not Available
Cork may be good, said Califor
nians, but no cork dust was available
in California and ttye cost of it was
too. great to permit of its use in
shipping and storing grapes. So the
scientists began a hunt for a substi
tute. After many experiments
found that redwood sawdust wduld
serve the purpose even better
cork dtis,t. Encouraged by the results
of these experiments,, growers ‘ip
creased their acreage and the -indus
try was thought to be in fine shape.
The grapes were, shipped in drums
or boxes packed in redwood sawdust,
but within the last year or two this’
material has not been available for
all shippers. '
Again the department of agricul
ture was appealed to, and the bureau
of markets started experimental
shipments in other kinds of sawdust.
It was found that grapes packed in
certain other wood sawdust took
on flavors from the wood, and it
Was necessary to-find a wood that

’redwood. At. last the problenv/was
j solved, for recently a shipment of
! grapes packed in spruce sawdust
was sold at New York city at auc
! tion lor as much as grapes packed
i in redwood.
Spruce Sawdust Acceptable
This success with spruce saw
dust, as well as with redwood saw
’ ‘dust, in shipping late varieties of
' i grapes will probably result in in
' ! creased acreage. It means that the
California shipper has an almost un
;; limited supply of packing material
I at his disposal and the threatened
i curtailment of the industry may be
[ considered to be averted by the suc
cessful adaptation of spruce saw
dust to shipments of late varieties
of grapes. These grapes will prob
ably find their way during the holi
days to towns and cities and even
remote hamlets throughout the Uni
ted States, and there is a possibility
i that they may be shipped to foreign
lands in increasing amounts, packed
in sawdust. However, the exporta
tion of these grapes and other per
ishable fruits depends upon the de
’ velopment of ample sea-going • re
frigerated space.
Effective Demonstration
In Swine Breeding
With the aid of the extension loan
i fund which has been cieated by pub
lic spirited citizens of North Caro
lina for financing’ worthy boys and
girls in raising purebred live stock,
' various county agents in' that State
are starting demonstrations in swine
: breeding- which promise to be par
ticularly convincing to farmers in
the localities concerned because the
demonstrations are to ba carried on
largely by residents of the neigh
borhoods.
The method being followed is for
the county agent to select a promis
ing boy or girl in each of several
districts' who will agree to raise a
sow for a given period. After a
4-acre plot suitable for the demon
stration has been decided on and
plans have been completed for im
proving it. an approved note is given
by the youthful ijtock raiser to cover
tlie purchase price of a sow, the
cost of fencing, seeding and erect
ing one or two colony houses. The
pig and the Improvements are then
purchased with w money advanced
from the extension loan fund.
The plan contemplates raising pigs
to the age of 8 months. All animals
used in the demonstrations are to
be purebreds. The first North Caro
lina farmer to whom this proposal
was presented instantly agreed to
co-operate and set aside for his
child four acres near the highway
along which many people pass. The
tract is to be fenced this winter
according to the most approved
i methods and provided with a model
self-feeder and an automatic water
er. A registered Poland China sow
will take possession early in the
spring- and will farrow a March lit
ter in her hew quarters. It is confi
dently expected that in this demon
stration. as in the others being ar
ranged in various parts of the state,
the selected animals will pay all the
expenses, including fencing and
seeding, the first year.

CURED AND SMOKE D MUTTON
GIVES FARM TABLE VARIETY
If you live in lhe country and
your family likes mutton, but is in
clined to'grow tired of it before a
whole carcass can be utilized, why
not cure and smoke the legs and
shoulders? Many farmer's hesitate
to kill a sheep or lamb because the
family tires of it, or a part of the
meat spoils before the entire carcass
is consumed.
By curing and smoking a part of
the carears may be used as fresh
meat and, the ‘ emainder used at a
later date.
Farm-killed lamb or muton is us
ually one of the cheapest and at the
same time one of th« most tvholc
turne of meats, tat it has never be m
served so extensively on tlie coun
try table as in the city. One reason
for this, doubtless, has been Im 1 ,, .of
knowledge of how to preserve, when
cold-storage facilities were unob
tainable. the mutton which could not
be eaten fresh before it spoiled.
Cure Shoulders and Legs.
The farmer who slaughters two
lambs or mature sheep in place of
one of the hogs that lie usually
butchers at home, and who cures the
shoulders and legs, can provide the
family table with moat variety at
little cost and trouble.
Lamb or mutton is as casil.v cured
and smoked as is pork and produces
a product similar to ham, according
to specialists in the United States
Department of Agriculture. vvrto
have been conducting experiments in
the curing and smoking of these
meats. The cured meat can be cdoked
in any or all of the ways that cured
pork shoulders and hams arc cooked,
and adds variety'to the farm table.
How to Cure Ivlutton.
Tlie first essential in curing is to
make sure the meat is thoroughly
cooled. Meat should never be frozen
either prior to or during the period
of curing. The proper time to begin
curing is when the meat is thor
oughly codled and still fresh. Twen
ty-four to thirty-six hours after
killing is the opportune time.
Brine-Cured RCeat.
Many different formulas may be
used for curing mutton by the
brine method, but the recipe given
below, if followed closely, will give
good results.
For each 100 pounds of meat use:
7 pounds salt.
2 1-2 pound sugar or sirup.
2 ounces’ saltpeter.
4 1-2 gallons water.
Allow’ three days’ cure for each
pound in a leg or shoulder, also three
days for small pieces. For example,
a 10-pound leg will take 30 days. The
brine should be made the day be
fore* it is used, so that it will be
cool. All the ingredients are poured
into the water arid boiled until thor
oughly mixed. Place the legs on the
bottom of the container, shoulders
next? the small cuts should be or.
top. Be sure to weight down with i
a stone or brick. Iron should not be
used, as it will rust. Pour in the
brine, and be sure it covers the meat
thoroughly. Tn , one week pour off the
brine and change the meat, placing
the top meat on the bottom and the
bottom meat on top. then pour back
the, brine. Repeat this operation at
weekly intervals. If the pickle be
comes ropey, take out all the meat
and wash it and the container thor
oughly. Boil the ropey pickle—or.
better, make new pickle. If the old
pickle is boiled, it should be strained
before boiling.
•When each piece of meat has re
ceived the proper cure take it out of
the pickle, string, and hang in the
smokehouse. The temperature of the
smokehouse should not exceed 12,5
degrees t l . Smoke the meat until it
has a good chestnut color.
It has been found more convenient
in preparing meats in Uris manner to
brine-cure the light nieces and dry-;
cure all th ? larger pieces. Tire rea- i
son for this is that the smaller
nieces will shrink considerably, and. '
if dry-cured, leave only compara-'
tively small portion of meat.
Dry-Ov.red Meat.
Dry-cured meat is better for fu
ture use than the brine-cured and
means less work. Danger from rats
and other vermin is less in the case
of brine-cured meat. Both methods
of curing will be successful if care
is taken to see that, each operation
lis properly executed. Following is
i the method of dry-curing.
For each 100 pounds of meat, use:
7 pounds salt.
3 pounds of sugar or sirup.
I 2 ounces saltpeter.
[ 2 ounces red pepper.
* 2 ounces black pepper.
;! Mix all ingredients thorouehly.
I then rub the mixture over the meat
' I well and pack it away in a box or
!on a table. Allow one and a half
[ days for each pound the pieces cf
meat average. After the meat has
■ l ct'.rod. hang it in the smokehouse.
Feedinn Sugar-Beet Tops
As Silage Recommended
Beet-top silage is well suited for
use by the dairyman or the feeder
of beef cattle and sheep. AVhen it
is fed for the production of beef or
' mutton, the hay requirements may
be reduced 50 pet' cent. The warm,
, succulent silage seems to stimulate
• the appetites of the animals, causing
them to consume and utilize larger
. quantities of feed. Most beet grow
. ers estimate that beet-top silage has
a value about one-third to one-half
that of alfalfa hay.
i These points are discussed in cle
tail in Farmers' Bulletin 1095. “Bcet
' Top Silage and Other By-Products
. 'of the Sugar Beet,” which was re
>! cently issued by the United States
t department of agriculture. This bul
>! letin advocates the use of beet-top
I! silage to aid in meeting the ..hortage
Ii of hay and other forage. It illus-
trates good methocis of constructing
i pit silos and gathering and siloing
' the tops, and makes other important
! suggestions in regard to feeding the
[; silage, molasses, and pulp, based
i largely V upon reports of beet growers
H and stock feeders:
; “Beet pulp and molasses, by-prod-
I I ucts which have an established value
j with stock feeders, should be fed
, | with a moderate allowar.ee of hay or
i other feed in order to make a bal
’ anced ration,” the bulletin says.
“At the present price of beet mo
' j lasses many feeders are finding a
’ i mixture of molasses with hay or
[ with pulp to be profitable. This fur
; i nishes a variety knd stimulates appe
[ tit? when fed in regulated quantities.
“In feeding beet-top silage, about
I 30 pounds per T,OOO pounds weight
[ for cattle and 3 pounds per head for
| sheep each day seem to be most sat-
I isfactory.
I “Animals not accustomed to beet-
I top silage should be given a small
quantity at first and the feedings
gradually increased until the normal
ration is reached.”
