Cultural practices and repellents for corn root aphid
United States Department of Agriculture outlines cultural methods to disrupt ant and aphid colonies in corn fields east of the Rocky Mountains. Recommendations include deep soil disturbance before planting, fall and spring plowing plus multiple diskings, and early replanting depth to 8% or 7 inches. When pruning is impractical, repellents such as oil of tansy, asafoetida, sassafras oil, kerosene, lemon oil or their dilutions mixed with bone meal can deter ants from caring for aphids.

Western Canada Dairy Growth Promises Continental Standing
A 1918 Alberta Department of Agriculture report notes dairy farming remains strong despite labor and feed costs. Butter production rose to 9,100,000 pounds in 1918 from 8,944,000 in 1917, with ten year gains in butter and cheese output. High livestock prices at Edmonton Calgary and Lacombe show robust demand, while creameries and cheese factories proliferate under government supervision. Immigration is expected to rise, and land prices while up may not hinder profits due to efficiency gains.
