Fortunately not all the cutworms are

the 2"variegated," which is said to he
larger and heavier bodied than the or.
binary kinds.
However, science and practice have
combined to lay down sure and safe
campaigning lines against cutworms OF
whatever degree of mischief. Briefly
the accepted proceedings as advised
by the Canadian entomologist, already
mentioned, consist of l). the band
ing Of freshly set out annual plants
with rings Of paper or tin; (2) the
poisoning of the caterpillars eithe,
with traps of fresh vegetation tied in
bundles and, after being dipped, is a
mixture of paris green and water OF
other poison distributed at short in,
teryals over infested land when the
cutworms appear. A modification OF
this remedy which has given satisfac
ton, owing to its efficacy and the ease
with which it can be prepared and ap
piled, is known as the poisoned bra,
remedy. This consists merely of bra1

Second Irrigation of Alfalfa.

The effect Of a second irrigation Of
alfalfa to induce termination was stud
led at the New Mexico station. After
the first irrigation the plats formed a
hard surface crust about one-fourth Of
an inch thick and cracked into large
cakes in drying. Some seed germinat-
ed and were just showing their seed
leaves in the cracks when a portion Of
the plat received a second irrigation.
Plats thus irrigated gave a poorer
stand Of alfalfa without exception than
those irrigated but once. This was due
largely to the filling up of the cracks
in the crust with sediment and thus
smothering many of the young alfalfa
plants fGG- J ~. :';",
