All agriculturists ami gardeners, who
fought the ubiquitous and vcracious cut
worm in vain, will read the following
suggestions of the editor of the Scien
tiie American as to the best method of
DISCRIMINATING this pest: The plan
which l originally proposed in 1882, and
which has become known as poison trap
or bait system, has come into extensive
use and is very successful. 1t consists
of cutting grass, weeds, or any green
growth in early spring, doing it up into
loose bundles, and thoroughly spraying
il with paris green. These bundles are
then scattered at regular intervals
through the infested fields. This should
be done in early spring. before the crop
is set out or has come up. The cut worm
will feed upon the poisoned vegetation
aid viii! be destroyed in great numbers,
