HOW To KILL
THE CUT WORM
State Crop Pest Commission
Tells How to Protect Gar
denS and Truck.

Cutworms are the larvae of
certain dull-colored moths which
deposit their eggs in grass-lands,
lor around grass-like cultivated
plants. These eggs hatch into
the common cutworms frequently
so injurious to garden and truck
crops in spring.
As h usual thing, cutworms are
most abundant where the garden
crop is upon land which has been
in pasture or meadow the year
previous. Cutworms are always
more or less abundant in grassy
lands, and so when the grass is
destroyed and a comparatively
few cultivated plants placed on
the land instead, injury to the
latter is of course severe. There
fore, in neighborhoods where cut
worm damage ia frequently ex-
perlenced, garden and truck crops
should not be placed upon land
that has been in grass or sod the
year before.
When the cutw0rms make their
appearance in the garden patches
or even in fields of corn (do not
confuse cutworms with the .bud-
worm" or corn root worm, as the
measures here recommended for
cutworms are useless against the
corn root worm) they can be kill
ed with poisoned bats. The
poisoned bait may be either some
luscious green vegetation accepta-
BILE to the worms, which has been
poisoned with an arsenlcal poison
or it may be a sweetened mixture
of arsenic or Paris green with
bran.
POISONED BATS OF CLOVER.
Select few square feet of rank
growing clover or alfalfa and
spray it with Paris green thor
oughly dissolved in water, using
about one-fourth pound Paris
green to twenty-five gallons of
water. As soon as the poisoned
mixture has dried on the clover,
cut it and distribute it in small
Ibunches or handfuls around the
plants that are being attacked by
the cutworms. This poisoned
clover should be cut and distribu-
ted late in the evening, SO as to
be fresh and attractive to the
worms when they come out from
their hiding places at night.
Nearly all the species of cut
worms do their feeding at night
and hide-in the loose earth or
vegetation, sticks, etc., during
the day.
CAUTION.
Do not forget that the clover
patch which was sprayed will re-
tain the poison for some time, or
until there have been several hard
washing rains on it, and that stock
must not be allowed access to the
spot in the meantime. Do not
forget also, that the punches of
poisoned clover distributed about
the garden, will also retain the
poison after they have dried, and
must not be thrown or placed
where stock can get them. When
the punches Of poisoned clover
have served their purpose. that is,
when they have become too dry
to be longer attractive to the cut
worms. they should be carefully
gathered up and buried CT burned,
preferably the latter.
POISONED BRAN MASH.
This mixture is used much the
same as the poisoned clover men,
toned above, and is prepared
from:
80 lbs. wheat or rice bran.
1-2 lb. white arsenic, ! Ii. Paris
green.

made and sold $4,000 bricl
and that Winfield used l 800, ,00t
of them. The capacity of tn.
plant is $4,000 per pay and tho
entire output is now being uset
in Winfield. The company
employs between 20 and % men
and the monthly pay roll amounts
to between $1,000 and $500, which
includes fuel. The recent rains
have hampered the plant con-
siderably. At present only tive
clamps are used but a third will
be put in soon, which will enable
the keeping of a kiln of brick
burning all the time, thereby
greatly increasing the capacity of
the plant.

The Lands. Lumber and Manu-
featuring Company's plant was
next visited. In the absence Of
Mr.. G. Fl. Elliott, the president
and general manager, we met Mr..
j. A. Nesom, the superintendent,
WHO cordially carried US over the
plant. The planer and saw mill
were In full operation, all of the
machines working. The superin-
tendent turned us over to Mr.. E.
D. Nesom. the bockkeeper, sales
and shipping clerk, who informed
US that the plant averages betwee'
Ii, 900 and 10000 feet of lumber
per day when running regularly.
The company sold to the local
trade during April.75,0OO feet of
lumber besides shipping num-
Der of cars to foreign trade. This
plant is one of Winnfield's nos.
useful industries. 1t is one that
fills 4 place whose usefulness can
hardly he estimated. The conn
pany carries ON their pay roll 25
men, with a pay roll of $1,000 per
month.
WINFIELD Iron Works.
On Thursday morning we con-
tinued our tour to the Winfield
Iron Works and Machine Shops.
one of the industrial plants of
which every citizen of WINFIELD
should feel proud. We were met
by Mr.. P. g. Williams, the gem
!cral foreman of all the depart
lnents, and Mr.. John B. Smith,
the man of all work, storekeeper,
bookkeeper and general hustler.
Mr.. G. f. Gavin, the vice presid-
ent and general manager, being
absent.
These shops were organized for
the purpose of doing general re-
pair work on locomotives and saw
mills and is run in Eve depart
ments, each with an expert fore
man. The machine shop works
II men over whom Mr.. Williams
has personal supervision. The
boiler shop works three men with
Mr.. George Burns as foreman
The blacksmith shop works thres
men with Mr.. NJ. Brodrick as
foreman. The pattern shop works
three men with Mr.. M. F. Davis
foreman. The foundry works
iye men with Dir. A. F. Camp
bell foreman. These shops can
do and have dono nil kinds OF
repairs Oh locomotives, including
the casting and putting in of .
cylender and saddle on one of
the largest types Of locomotives.
The foundry is now taking off

departments are making over time
by having TO work nights and
Sundays. They will soon install
some more machines. They carry

There are but few Of our
sitizens who have any idea Of
the number Of men employed by
the several industrial plants nor

But in the afternoon the Dodson
team recruited and added some
old timers and gave the Winfield

it is considered the Winfield

ASWELL MAY NOT GO
Will Not Accept Chancellorship
Mississippi University.

Jackson, Miss, May15.-While
neither Governor Vardaman nor
State Superintendent of Educa-
tion Whitfield will make state
ments on the subject. it is learned
that both have received letters
from Prof. J. b. Aswell, superin-
tendent of education of Louisiana,
stating that he has changed his
mind and will not accept the
chancellorship of the University
of Mississippi.
Prof. AswelIs reasons for the
change of determination cannot
be learned at this time nor has he
written q formal refusal of the
place. but letters to the two
officials PLAINLY state that this is
his intention.
His former acceptance was due
to take effect on the first of July.
Discussion of the matter has
caused quite stir in educational
circles in this state.

thoroughly so that the poison
will be distributed through
the bran. Then add the quart of
molasses and stir, afterwards add
ing enough water (and stirring
wel) to make the mixture moist
and sticky, but not sloppy or wet
enough for the water to drip from
it.
With a small paddle, place
about a tablespoonful of this
mixture beside each of the garden
plants just at nightfall. This
sweetish mixture is attractive to
the worms and they will eat it
greedily.
Another way to use this poison
ed bran-mash is to place pieces of
board about the garden, fiat on
the ground, and put little of
bra mash under each. If there
is very little rubbish about the
garden, the cntworms will seek
shelter under these pieces of
board during the day and will find
the poisoned "breakfast" ready
for them. If the soil is dry,
sprinkle the ground literally with
water under each board, before
putting down the bran mash, as
dry places are not attractive to
the cutworms.
CAUTION.
Do not allow children or stock
to get at this poisoned mixture.
Thoroughly wash all vessels, pals,
paddles, etc., used with it and
keep your supply of Paris green
or arsenic in a safe place and

High School Closing.

Owing to the fact that we have
no room IN which to have literary
exercises for our close, we have
decided, after talking the sitna-
tion over Nth some of the pat
rons, that an "old time picnic"
would be the most appropriate
way 20 celebrate the last day of
our school.
There will be many attractions
exhibited on this day so that ev-
eryone will find some way of en-
joyment. Some of the features
Of the program will be music by
the WINFIELD Brass Band, oratory
by home and foreign talent; a
double-header baseball game. To
add to the above. and a pleasant
addition it is, the Daughters of
the Coufederacy have decided to
serve all kinds of refreshments.
But with nothing more tLan the
above, something would be lack
ing, so we arc going to ask every
body, who Is In any way interested
in the school, to come and bring
. basket and spend one day Of
real Joy and happiness.
