To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As this corn matures in July-Aug- ust, small patches of succulent corn, planted at later dates, at intervals of about 30 da_vs, are coming on. This corn serves as attractant and breeding ground for the moths. It is to be cut before it becomes too tough to serve as breeding material for the borer in the presence of cane. This corn can be cured for fodder, or fed green, or used for silage. The last patch to hold the hi- bernating brood, where practicable, can be allowed to stand to be eaten down ...by stock on the approach of frost. With such a plan of control, permitting as it does of check- ing most affectively the 3rd and 4th generation, which are the ones that do the damage, it will readily be seen that the use of poultry to secure moths is not at all necessary: moreover the moths would in about half of the cases be out of reach of poul- try anyway. At the same time, however, stress was laid upon the presence of the Argentine ant in the canefields. As far back as my Circular No. 147, pp 26 to 28, I had shown that there is available as a means of control nothing more feasible to keep down the Argentine ant than the use of poultry on a large scale in and about the canefields the year around.
