Hollow AY (T. E.). The Borer problem: Two years' experiments in 

 not burning cane trash. — Reprint from Louisiana Planter and 

 Sugar Manufacturer, New Orleans, 19th December 1914. 

 [Received 27th January 1916.] 



In a preceding paper it was stated that infestation by Diatra^ca 

 saccharalis decreased in sugar-cane fields where the trash was ploughed 

 under in spring instead of being burnt in the previous autumn and 

 winter [see this Review, Ser. A, ii, p. 279]. The experiments have been 

 repeated on a more extensive scale and the results have confirmed 

 the former ones. The increased yield per acre of cane has been very 

 carefulh^ estimated in the case of one plantation and worked out at 

 over £4 10s. 



Hollow AY (T. E.). Fighting the Sugar-Cane Borer with Parasites and 

 Poisons.— Reprint from Louisiana Planter and Sugar Manufac- 

 turer, New Orleans, 18th December 1915. 



An annual loss of over 1,000 lb. of sugar per acre occurs in the case 

 of a maximum infestation by Diatraea sa>ccharalis (small moth borer), 

 representing, at the present high prices, a loss of something over £10.
