Description:Excerpt from Queensland; Bureau of Sugar Experiment Stations, Vol. 2: Monthly Notes on Grubs and Other Cane Pests, Second Series Cane Grub Investigation, July, 1918. I have been greatly interested in the rather general acceptance of the idea of late planting for infested soils. Almost everywhere we go we find the farmers routing out the grubby fields; and a number have told me that it is their intention to work the ground thoroughly, preparatory to late planting. There is certainly no time like the present for killing weeds; and if the soil is kept clean-fallow until September, the cane should require very little chipping, thus removing one of the great objections to late planting, i.e., the difficulty of keeping the crop clean during the wet weather. Let me repeat, then, and urge that all infested soils, especially the red volcanic, be thoroughly worked and kept in clean-fallow until planted in September or October. During the process of ploughing three or four times it is possible to work a great deal of trash and other organic matter into the soil; this is worth all the extra effort required to conserve this humus-forming material, for, as explained further on, it undoubtedly is a vital factor in grub control. Let me again call attention to a very interesting experiment at Greenhills, where in one field (L6)half of the cane was planted in June, 1917, and the rest in October. The latter half is now beautiful cane, very erect and green, in marked contrast to the early-planted half, which went down in the cyclone after a bad attack of grubs. Furthermore, this early cane has deteriorated so much that it is very doubtful if any of it will be fit for milling. This field is particularly interesting because the two plantings are side by side, having the same care, and exactly the same soil. On the Value op Organic Matter in the Soil. Early in experimentation, from our knowledge of the feeding habits of the grubs, I was convinced of the value of humus-forming material as a factor in their control. Hence, we have followed the matter up with increasing interest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
