WHITE PLAGUE OF CUCUMBER
0eIara Worm Has Arrived and Manner
In Which to Abolish It-DaVlS
Perfect Not Attacked.

Another white plague" has AZ
rived, and this time It is the cucumber
that suffers. This pest, familiar to
those who grow cucumber plants un-
der glass. is the Sciara maggot (Sci-
arainconstans). It Is a slender, white
worm with shiny, black head. and
measures not more than quarter Of
an inch. It lives in the soil among
the roots of the new plants. It's GUS
tom is to gnaw the rootlets. After
plant is attacked 1t makes little or no
new growth and in its sickly condi-
ton produces few II any cucumbers.
The leaves turn brown and the plants
wilt in the sun.
The adult of this worm is known
as the fungus gnat. It is very
small fly and lays its eggs in fresh
horse manure. 1t is through the fresh
manure that these pests are introduced
into greenhouses. The use Of old
manure rather than fresh will keep
them out. Should they appear, water
in which tobacco has been soaked
should be poured about the roots OF
the affected plants.
Certain cucumbers seem to be i'm
mune to the attacks Of these worms.
Tests made indicate that the variety
known as the Davis Perfect is not
subject to the attacks OF the mag
gots.

Growing Glover.

Many OF these farms have been
titled so much without a proper rota-
ton that they will not produ:e clover
we'll even with plenty Of lime. They
need humus and this should be sup
piled by growing cover crops, cowpeas
and soy beans. For such lands the
sowing Of cowpeas at the last work
ing of the corn and when the land is
very thin the application of 200 pounds
of commercial fertilizer is recommend
ed. The peas may be cut up with a
disk harrow and the land sown to
wheat. The Kansas station found that
where peas were sown at last work
ing of the corn in a five-year average
the increase of corn was 3.6 bushels
over a lot alongside on which cow
peas were not sown.
