DOUBT
OLD METHODS

Walla Walla, Wash, April IL
Fruit growers in this section are be-
ginning to wonder whether after all
clear cultivation of orchards Is a wise
procedure. It has been held by best
authorities that all vegetation but
the trees themselves should be driven
from an orchard, but a farmer in
Freewater has tried an experiment
which has made him ponder.
Last year he let the weeds grow.
He had no cut worms in his orchard.
This year he has kept his orchard
clean. A day or two ago he spread
a sheet under peach tree and shook
the tree. He counted no less than
so cut worms ON the sheet He thinks
there were as many last year, but
having the weeds to occupy their at
tention they stayed with them. This
year it is a case of eat fruit buds or
starve and so the cut worm has no
alternative but to ruin the fruit crop
or contribute to the suicide of his
race.
Whether farmers must hereafter
grow a side crop of weeds to feed to
cut worms or whether some way may
be found to kill the cut worms and
not feed them at all, is the question
to be solved.
