BELL With the Co-OperatloD of the Various DepartmeBtt of tba Ontario Agrieullural Colle(e. 1. Qut.ition: â€" "Will you please tell me what can do for Cut Worm or Wire Worm "â€" H. H., York County. Answer: â€" Almost every Spring cutworms do considerable damage to corn, cabbapre, tomatoes, tobacco and some other crops by cutting them ofT at the iriound. The insects work a; night an'] hide by day just beneath the surface of the soil or under lubbLsh or any pood cover- ing. They are stout, smooth cater- pillars and when at rest are usually curled up into a circle. To control them use a poison bait. There are several formulae for this but the following is about as good as any : â€" Bran 25 lb?. I'aris 'ji-een or fine white arsenic ......: 1 lb. Cheap molasses 1 (]t. Wat'.- enough to moisten, i lout ;i gals. Hran 5 lbs. Paris .t.'reen or fine white ar.'cenic 3 0"s Chca.'i MolassB-! ',i qt. Watet- enout'lh to moisten, a^out '/2 gal. Mi.\ the brr.n and Paris green thoroi:ghiy until the green can bo seen everywhere through the bran. Add the mola.-ses lo the water, stir, then pour the sweetened liquid over the poi-innc'l bran and mix until all is moist: ned anrl will fall almost li':e sawdust thro'.i.'jh the fin.;jcr?. If the plants have been set out and are beinjj attacked, drop a small vi'.ianlity of the bait â€" one- (juartcr of a tea.-pooniul â€" along.-;ide each pl::nt. Do this late in the cvenin,*!: ;.o that it will be fresh when the woims bc.-jin to feed. If the j.lant:^ Have not vet been set out and cutworms are k.n.iwn to be in the soil, prepare tlie groun.l well and llieii ,in evenintf or two before .set- ting out the plants, scatter the bait tiiinly, as one would ilo in sowing jTi-ain. e-.er the plot or field. The cutworiDs will fi-v'd upon this and be killed before they can do any damajje One uiiplicatioii is usually suffi- cient to control any ordinary out- break and v.lien scattered thinly, the lar;;er <]uanl:lv will cover about one u^re. CAUTION: Do not inhale the dust from tlie poison when inixinp, and beware that cattle or other domes- m ov.e-raaio di( ^gossip Su.san Fleniin- thought that she had re'itcd from the scieen when she mauied Haipo Marx, but she made the mistake of stopping in at the .studio to have luncheon with her hu,;hand. and first thing she knew »ho director called out, "That Kirl over there â€" she's just what I have been loekinj: for."

WIRE WORMS The chief methods to keep free of wircvi'orms is by practising a short rotation of crops. This re-' moves the main breeding place.s; namely, the old pastures and mead; ows. When breaking up such a field, a good practice to follow ii either ti plough it early, work it up and sow wheat the same fall or, if thi.< cannot be done, plough it later in the fall, and next spring sow oats or barley. In either case, put in red or sweet clover in the, spring. .N'ext year take off the clover, plough '.T.rly and put in wheat, ad-* (ling a clover again the following' .spring; or oafs or hailcy with s clover may agai-i be used. After* thi.s crop of clovei has been harvest-, cd or j.loughed under, usually any crop may follow. Pca.s, buckwheat and flare, being-.
