a solution of copperas is said to be sure
preventive against the attack of the wire
worm which often does much damage TO
our corn crops, even before the seed comes
up. Kerosene oil has also been used Tor

We should want TO try it upon small scale
before recommending it to others. There
is no doubt that it would keep of the
worms, but whether the corn would ever
come up is not SO certain in our mind.
