Gardens cultivated each year, if kept
in good condition, free from weeds and
grass, are not attractive to the egg
laying moths, while On the other hand.
grassy, weedy fields and sod lands
are, and they usually abound in cut
worms during the fall months. It is
on such lands, hastily prepared and
planted during the spring rush of work,
where crops may be seriously damaged.
When land is properly and thoroughly
prepared for planting, vegetation is prac-
tically all destroyed; hence, cutworms,
if present, deprived of their natural food
supply, may then be induced to feed on
poisoned bats. In small fields or gar
dens, poisoned bats are thoroughly prac-
tlcable. To be most effective, they
should be applied three or four days
after land has been we'll prepared,
thus allowing time for the cutworms
to become hungry. One bait that has
often proved success is prepared d.
follows:
With about forty parts by weight
of corn meal, or an equal bulk of bran,
mix one part of Paris green or white
arsenic; moisten with water to make a
soft dough and then add mo1asses at
the rate of two quarts to forty pounds
OF the mixture in order to sweeten it.
Another bait is prepared by cutting
some succulent clover and dipping it in
half-barre1 of water containing one
pound of Paris green.
The freshly prepared bait should be
distributed over the land about sundown,
in order that it may be fresh and at
tractlve when the worms come out at
night to feed. 1t may be spread broad
cast or dropped in little heaps at regular
intervals. A second treatment two days
after the first is advisable and should
insure good results.
All poison bats should be used with
caution, or not at all if domestic fowls
are liable to get to it.
Circular bands of stiff cardboard. tar
red paper, or tin cans with the top
and bottom removed, may be prohtably
employed to protect few choice plants.
these bands must be pressed into the
soil an inch and half deep to prevent
cutWOrms burrowing under the edges.
and should extend about two inches
above the surface Vertical holes with
smooth, hard sides, made with a round
iron bar or sharpened stick, near hills
of cucurbit plants, are said to make
good traps into which cutworms will
crawl and be unable to get out again.
The odor of kerosene is Objectionable
to most insects. Sawdust saturated with
kerosene and then placed around plants
has been suggested to repel flea beetles
and other insects attacking low growing
plants, and its use may prove effective as
a repellent for c11tWOrms.
Spraying infested plants with some
solution that kills by contact, such as
kerosene emulsion, soap solutions, or to-
bacco decoctlons, is one method of fight
ing melon lice. The spray, to be effec-
tive, must hit and cover the lice on the
underslde of the leaves. This necessitates
using spray nozzle on the end
of a curved rod, or lifting and turning

Life On The Farm.

good common sense that i
laid down in it goes to show
that there are at least some
women in our land that still
rejoice il the fact that the,

would rather live the auie,
life of a farmers daughter
than that Of a ''high flyer
in some of the cities Of oul
State:
LAS it has been some time
since | have sent you ANY.
thing for publication / .decid.
fed to write again. This time
] will take for subject, Life
on the Farm
MANY of us already know
the pleasures there are in
farm life, and it may seem
worthless for me to say any
thing along this line. How
ever, as [ have started out on
the subject, | will have my say
anyhow.
God created man to till the
soil and no nobler or more
honorable calling can man Ell
gage in than that Of being a
farmer. Some people get the
idea that they can not be sue,
cessful farmers unless they
are e educated. But some of
the most successful farmers
Of our land are men who did
not have but very little educa
tional advantages as compar-
ed to what the young people
Of the present day have. II
venture to say that there are
farmers who would not know
an adjective from a proper
noun who can beat your col
lege graduates salary at least
a thousand a year raising
corn and feeding stock.
Zone Of the greatest things
to-day that is impoverishing
our land is the large number
of people who are wondering
how they will make their liv- /
ing without working hard for
it. | hope no one will get
the idea from this letter that
[ do not believe in education, |
for / do. / am a farmer'sI
daughter and love the dear
old farm life, where | can let
my eyes wonder over the field
Of corn and cotton as the
wind softly waves their beau
tiful blades and leaves. Such
a sight is indeed inspiring to
behold.
Il can't overlook the fact (
that a great many Of girls Of |
to-day do not know the plea
sures Of farm life. What is
more pleasant for interesting
IN a July day when the sky
IS clear and the sweet little
birds are singing ALI around
IS than to take a stroll
the fields and see
What our Creator has provid
ID for us. How thankful we
hould be for all these things,
which the city people do not
nioy. 1t is a matter of pridet
nd comfort that a great mum
er of our most refined and
ducated women have been
cared on the farm. Then
yhy should we net be happy
nd contented and help life

Her death seems especially sad as she
seemed so necessary to her sister, Mrs.

her and the brother sincere sympathy

THE EXPECTED HAPPENS
G Wernor Draper WithhoIds Approval
of the Eight Hour Bill

Boston, May 29.-Gover1aor Draper
has fulfilled his promise made in last
falls campaign that he would veto.
the 'teight-hour" bill if the same
measure reached him as that which
the legislature of 1909 sent to him.
The veto message was received in
the house yesterday. The governor
states that the bill is practically the
same as last years, and that his rea-
sons for Withholding his APPROVAL are
substantially those which governed
his action last year.
Il think" he says, that this bill
would be disadvantage to, and an
unfortunate interference with, many
contractors and business men of this
commonwealth; would provide en-
ployment for men in other states
which would be taken away from men
In our own state; and thus make it
harder for our business men and la
boring men to be successful in their
various classes of EMPLOYMENT.
