For Cut Worms.

Several Pennsylvania farmers
have recently written to State
Zoologist Surface, Harrisburg,
stating that cut worms are unu-
sually bad this year and beseecb.
ing him for a recommendation of
a reliable remedy. A Dauphln
county farmer writes that a
neighbor got two quarts of cut
worms from around his sweet
potato vines and wants to know
how to destroy them.
In his reply Prof. Surface said:
evidence comes from differ
ent parts of the State that these
pests are unusually numerous
and destructive this year. The
proper course would have been TO
have destroyed them by plowlng
the ground early In the fall and
cultivatlng it by deep narrowing
with sprlug-toothed harrow
until 1t was so frozen as to pre-
vent further cultivation. Then
commence cultivation as early as
possible IN the spring. The fall
plowlng and late and early cult
vation helps to destroy these
pests as well as wireworms root
lice, ants, webworms and other
pests which are liable to attack
crops following freshly plowed
sod.
"However, the fact remains
that the cutworms are now pres.
ent IN unusually destructive mum
bers and must be treated. There
is no easy method of destroying
insects In the ground, but cut
worms can be killed if one is will.
ing to 60 to the trouble of follow.
ing directions carefully.
"1'he plan is to poison them by
the use OF a sweet and poisoned
bran. The method is to add one
part Of Paris green, by weight,
to thirty or forty parts of bran,
stir this together, while yet dry,
and then mixing it with water
that has been sweetened by the
addition of strong or coarse mo-
lasses. The older and stronger
the molasses, to give it odor, the
the better 1t will be. The bran
be molstened with this sweetened
water until it is made into a damp
mass, just wet enough to stay IN
little heaps. A very small pinch
of this placed at the base of each
garden plant to protect it will be
effectual. The cut worms will
eat 1t In preference to the plant.
To protect corn 1t Is advisable
to drop pinch in the corn row
each step or two across the field,
so that the cutworm will find this
and eat it and let the corn remain
l would advise even putting IT
out before the corn appears above
the ground. This will be better,
thus to kill the worms early, than
to let them remain untreated un-
til,after the corn Is onCe cut off.
1t Is much better to put out the
poison bran IN the evening while
1t Is damp, or on damp day, sc
that it will not be dry when these
pests come forth at night to seek
their food. 1t will be found by
them just about as readily If it Is
slightly covered with earth and
for this reason, if 1t should be-
