BY far the best methods yet devised
Tor killing cut worms in any situation
are the poisoned bats: Manipulating Ia
usually unnecessary where they are thor
oughiy used. Poisoned punches OF clover
or weed have been thoroughly tested
even by the wagon load over large areas
and nearly all tMr. Cons experiment at
tho Wisconsin station Ia the most notable
exception reported) have reported them
very effective; lambs quarters, pepper
grass and mullen are among the weeds
especially attractive to cut worms on
small areas the making OF The bats Is
done by hand. but they have been pre-
pared on large scale by spraying the
plants In the fields. cutting them with a
scythe or machine and pitching them from
wagons In small lunches wherever de-
sired Distributed "a few feet apart be-
tween rows OF garden plants at night
fall, they have attracted and killed enough
cut worms 10 often save large proper
ton OF the crop; II tho punches can be
covered with shinele they will keep
fresh much longer, The fresher the bats
the more thoroughly the batting Ia done
the more cut worms one can destroy.
However, II may sometimes happen
that sufficient quantity of such green
suceuient plants cannot be obtained early
enough In the season In some localities
In this case, and we are not sure but in
all cases the poisoned bran mash can
be used to best advantage II is easily
made and applied at any time. u IL not

sweet potato hills in New Jersey last
year. and served as a complete protection.

The best time to apply these poisoned

the garden. II the ground has been
properly prepared. the worms will have
had but little To cat for several days and
they will thus seize the frst opportunity
to appsase their hunger upon the bats
and wholesale destruction will result The
baits should always be applied at this
tims wherever cut worms are expected
But II IL not too late usually to save
most OF a crop after the pests have made
their presence known by cutting on some
OF the plants. Act promptly and use the
baits freely.
