Where hay crops are difficult TO raise as
they are In many sections Of this state
melilotus is well worth giving a trial. II
it cannot be used satisfactorily for hay,
it can at least be made to improve the
condition of the soil very materially. 1t
may be plowed under for this purpose,
or even grazed to some extent when 1t
is young. AS you have observed, 1t is
comparatively hardy and easy to propa-
gate in most localities, though of course
it grows with greater freedom on cal
careous soils than on those deficient IN
lime. In sections where lime Is abund-
ant it sometimes become a nuisance. in
Testing fields and r, I'D sides II 1t Is
properly handled, however, there is no
reason why it should spread to the ex>
tent Of becoming a nuisance in this sec
ton of the country, and when we con-
slider its great ability as a soil i'm
proven and its comparative hardihood, we
could afford to have it occupy much land
which now lies idle or simply grows up
in weeds which have not the ability to
esther and store nitrogen in the soil.
CONTROLLING THE PICKLE AND
MELON WORMS.
d. B. B., PrattviIle, Ala. writes: will
thank you to advise me in what manner
i may get rlu OF the WORMS Lnat yearly
ruin my canteloupes.
While you give no accurate description
of the insect infesting your melons. we
are of the opinion that it is either the
pickle worm or the melon worm, very
likely the latter No satisfactory rem
edy of controlling the pickle worm
has been found up to this time, save that
of planting squash as trap crop. 1t is
TOO late in the season to do it this year.
but another season you will find this
method of holding this particular pest in
check very helpful. The squashes should
be planted two or three times during the
season. some early. some medium, and
some fairly late. The squash should be
planted as rule around the outside OF
the melon patch, though IL II is a very
large patch, IL is we'll to plant two or
three rows in between the melons.
Another way Of helping to control this
pest is to gather the infested fruit and
destroy II. In the fall when the crop Is
gathered rake up the vines carefully and
compost them. Then turn the land deeply
and rotate the crops so as not to bring
melons on the land for two or three
years consecutively. Poison or dust
sprays applied to the trap plants or even

to the main crop may prove beneficial.
For melon worms the methods of fight
ing them are practically the same as for
the pickle worms, with the exception that
poisons should be emphasized and used
more largely. For this purpose spraying
with arsenical mixtures, such as Paris
green or lead arsenate will prove salts
factory. Where the former is used a half
pound to 80 gallons OF water is the right
proportion, and where the latter is used,
8 pounds to 30 gallons of water. The
leaves when sprayed serve to poison the
worms which feed upon them. These are
the only suggestions thta can be made
which will even afford you a measure Of
relief from this pest which Is certainly
destructive to the melon crop and Diff
ficult one to control because of it's pecu-
liar life history and habits of feeding
