Experts Seek Control of White Grub Intet
Wisconsin agricultural researchers from the Wisconsin College of Agriculture will study white grub habits during May and June evenings to plan control methods. The grub damages Wisconsin crops, especially permanent pastures and corn, costing up to 25 million dollars annually. Two Iowa farms in Grant and Lafayette counties will host immediate experiments to test pasture resistance by fertilization with various commercial fertilizers.

Fertilizing Strawberry Plants Before Planting
Strawberry plants should be fertilized like berry bushes with manure. After spading add four pounds per square rod of super phosphate. If using a complete fertilizer apply before setting plants. Mid August, a light sprinkling of sulphate of ammonia on dry blossoms aids next year’s crop. brush off any material that falls on leaves to prevent burning.
Agricultural Squibs and Barnyard Practices
Agricultural notes discuss using well rotted barnyard manure as fertilizer and shallow early plantings for sun-warmed seeds. Apple scab losses are tied to attacks on fruit, while chick brooding houses should be warm with glass- substitute openings. Blister beetles hinder tomatoes but aid alfalfa by laying eggs in grasshopper nests and feeding on grasshopper eggs.
