+. Petit of Michigan, where the leaf
roller was troublesome last year, says:
After the first year of course no poison
should be used ON the plants before the
berries are gathered, but directly after
gathering the berries OF during the
first year before the plants bear the
plants should be cut of close with a
moving machine and burned. The
field may then be sprayed with paris

numbers of the full grown worms in
the leaves and also to poison what
young Larvae may come from the eggs
already laid. The spray Of course
should be repeated at long as any cat
erpllars remain. This method should
prove of great benefit, and the regular
rotation of crops will also bo found
useful. The worms are easily killed
