Professor Forbes, state ento-
mologist of Illinois, suggests
that as another means of beat
ing the enemy that sod ground
which is to be put in corn be
plowed as early. as possible the
previous season. The theory is
that the cut worm moths will
not lay their eggs on bare groung,
and if the sod is plowed before
they lay their eggs, the land
will be free. AS the average
cut worm moth, however, lays its
eggs on grass land in July and
August, it will rarely be found
practical to pillow early enough
to avoid the damage. Professor
Forbes also suggests that since
hogs like cut worms, damage
may be considerably reduced by
turning them on grass land just
before blowing for corn the pre-
vious fall.
Our correspondent asks wheth-
er it would be better for him to
leave the old rows of corn stand
ing when he replants. We would
regard this largely as a matter
of convenience, although leav-
ing the rows standing would
probably slightly reduce injury
to the late-planted corn. In
small fields, where practical, it
might be good scheme to poison
the cut worms by spraying such
rows with Paris green or distrib-
uting along them by means of a
seed drill a poison bran mash
made by mixing Paris green
with bran at the rate of one
pound of poison to thirty pounds
of bran.-Wallace's Farmer.

Don't OVerStOCk the
Pasture.


besetting sin of the American
farmer. Usually during the
months of May and June, wher
the grass is luxuriant, the wealth
er all that could be desired, and
the fly has only begun to trouble,
the farmer realizes there is a
good deal of grass going tC
waste, and puts on too much
stock. The hot suns of July and
August follow, and the first

tie are tormented with flies, his
pastures are gnawed to the
ground, the stand of the best
blue grass pasture is weakened,
the sun burns the roots, and
every opportunity is offered for
foxtail, rag-weed, ironweed and
every other weed to usurp the
place of the grass in the pastures,
and hold it even in wet weather.
1t is a good plan during these
early months to have grass for
two and only one to eat it. In
the year 1910 grass was two or
three weeks early: Farmers turn
ed out their cattle early in the
season, with the result that by
the middle of July in many Sec
tions they had to 60 to winter
feeding or allow the cattle 10 lose
in milk or flesh. Had they fed
the hay in April and May and al.
lowed the grass to get a good
start, they would have fed less
hay during the entire season than
they did as it was. This year
the grass is late. In most of our
territory there is not sufficient
moisture to secure. a first class
yield of pasture or of hay, and
should we have a resumption of
the dry conditions that prevailed
last year, we shall be winter feed
ing in July and August, to an
even greater extent than we did
last year.
What is to be done about it?
First, don't overstock. If you
have any cattle that are not
promising, you had better sell
them than put the promising
ones on short commons by and
by. That is one thing.
Another thing that can be
done is to drill in very thick on a
few acres, more or less, of your
corn land, the very earliest and
leafiest variety Of corn that you
can secure, and thus be able to
piece out the pasture by this sue
culent forage. We advise thick |
forage. We advise thick plant

Cut Worms.

Is on sod ground. The corn is
now about two inches high. Cut
worms are doing great damage
in it by eating the young corn
plants off under the ground. On
examining each hill, l find one
or two cut worms. Will this
damage kill the corn? When will
they quit working, and when
would you replant? Would it be
best to leave the old rows to let
the cut worms work on, or would
it be better to disk them up?"
Reports this year suggest that
the cut worm is doing even more
than usual of his sickening work
in the sod ground eornfields. By
cutting off the young plants at
the surface of the ground he de-
stroys thousands of them out
right, and by cutting off the
leaves and partially eating out
the hearts of other stalks he per-
manently Injuries many more
plants. Oh! that there were only
some direct way of keeping this
pest in control. But since there
is not, we must resort to such
roundabout methods as studying
his habits and attacking him in
the weak places. After many
years of study the entomologistS
have found that the one sure way
of preventing cut worm damage
to corn on sod ground is to plant
at the very latest possible date.
This does not prevent all dam
age, but most of it. Why is ii
that late planting prevents dam
age by cut worms? Because OF
this fact: Along in early June
most cut worms become fat and
sluggish; they are full grown,
and realizing this instinctively
they take a rest, changing into
what is known as the pupal stage,
preliminary to becoming moths.
Of course, as soon as the cut
worms take a rest the corn is
safe. The important thing for
US to know is when the cut worms
decide to take this rest. Wei
know many farmers somewhat
disagree with us here, holding as
they do that it is the hot, sun
shiny days of early summer
which destroy the cut worms, APP
parently baking them and caus-
ing them to shrivel up. No doubt
there is something in this, as the
cut worms seem to be at their
best in moist weather. Never
theless the greatest cause for cut
worms ceasing their damage as
the season advances is because
they become full grown and are
taking their rest preparatory to
becoming moths. Is
Unfortunately there are many
kinds of cut worms, which have
7arying seasons>for their work.
