Control of corn borers calle for co-

said. If one man fails to follow con-
trol practices, he ean undo all the
work of his neighbor.
Pepper explains that much can be
done between now and May 1 to re-
duce the orn borer population. In
the field standing stalks and those
that are too high to be turned under

down so that all refuses will] be cover

Another suggestion i= to clean up
and burn scattereq stalks, cobs and
corn refuse around the buildings and
in the barnyard. The shredding of
all stalks that arg fed or are used
for bedding is recommended.
