GAINS MADE IN PORK TRADE

TURDUELEADS WAR ON BORER Agriculture Station Aids Farmers Fight Pest. Jin Times Special FORT WAYNE Ind., April 15. Hundreds of farmers throughout the six counties in Northwestern Indiana under quarantine because of the European corn borer, are turning out the burning and plowing demonstrations underway by Purdue University and county agricultural agents. From one to three demonstrations have been held in each of the counties, Allen, Whitley, Noble, DeKalb, Steuben and Lagrange. They are being held as part of the educational campaign against the borer, in which the farmers are being shown the best methods of getting rid of corn stalks which harbor the borers. “Burn or plow under’’ is the slogan for the drive, and every farmer is being shown by the assistant county agricultural agents or agricultural engineers from Purdue to adjust their plows with rolling colters and heavy wires attached, so as to turn under completely the stalks and all other refuse in the corn field. In many cases the farmare using mowing machines or IKics to cut off the stalks, then rakand burning before plowing. Others are depending entirely on plowing. “We are not asking farmers to buy new machinery unless their present equipment cannot be adjusted to do a thorough job, and most of it can,” says L. E. Hoffman, of Purdue, in charge of the educational campaign. The clean-up will be completed by May 1, according to present plans.
