Magnet idea for nails in Sidney fuels Scottsbluff talk
Eugene Maxwell of Western Public Service, Scottsbluff, suggests using a magnet along nearby roads to collect nails and tires punctures. Local drivers doubt a nail surplus here, noting Scottsbluff would likely yield more nails. Tests show borers mostly die with clean plowing, while surface corn debris increases survival to 13 to 22 percent depending on traps and debris.

Clean plowing as an aid in corn borer control
Ohio tests by the Bureau of Entomology show clean plowing helps limit the European corn borer. Infested stalks were plowed under from September to December 1925 and surrounded by recovery traps. About 38 percent of borers surfaced in fall and spring. the rest perished in soil or were killed by enemies and weather.

Sowing Alfalfa Early Advised by State Experts
Agricultural extension workers caution that sowing alfalfa seed too early risks losses from freezes while many later plantings fail in heat. When fields are weedy, kill weeds first, cultivate, and seed late spring or early fall. In moisture-poor areas, summer fallowing may be better than spring sowing.

Discing Cornfields Fails Against Corn Borers
The United States Department of Agriculture reports disking cornfields infested with European corn borers does not kill the pests. Tests show only 11 percent killed when oats follow disking. burning and plowing under stalks and trash effectively destroy nearly all borers, with about 5100 per acre present before action. The method is strongly recommended to control infestation.
