WORMS IN SEED CORN.

Mr.. ]. D. Griffin wants to know II
rolling seed corn in coal tar will pre-
vent worms from cutting corn. say to
Mr.. Griffin, have tried this remedy two
or three times since I have been form
ing, and find it does no good. They will
cut the corn just as bad when rolled
as If not rolled. The best thing you
can do to prevent them from cutting
corn is not to plant your corn till about
the 1st of June.
Then when you get ready to plant,
soak your corn the night before in
water, and run your rows of the day
before you plant, so the hot sun will
shine on the rows and drive the worms
into the ground. Plant in the heat OF
the day, If possible. Your corn being
soaked, will come up in three or four
days. As soon as it is up we'll, bar 1t
of well with a short-turn plow, as
close as possible. This will let the sun
shine into the roots, driving the WORMS
into the ground. Bud worms can't
stand the hot sun. This is the best
preventive 1 have ever tried. NJ. w.
