millions who live in the temperate

Acapulco. on the Pacific slope, is per-
haps the garden spot of it all. 1t is
noted for the great quantity of in
digenous varieties which grow spon-
taneously. With the exception of some
Indifferent cultivation of %cocoanuts and
bananas everything else grows wild
and in luxutiance.
OF the fruits known in the United
States this district alone produces ba-
nanas. oranges. ~pineapples, mangoes,
lines and lemons. And here are a
few more of other varieties never seen

Then prepare a pint of sweetened wa
ter and moisten the bran with this.
Fill a pail with this material and
scatter the poisoned bran over the
surface Of the ground so that small
chunks half as big as a walnut or
larger will be distributed every foot
or two. Do this just before the plants
are due to come up.
Poultry must be kept away from
the garden for a few days. After a
week or two or after n or two rains
the bits of bran usually disappear suf-
fciently so that there is little danger
of poisoning poultry.
Often cutworms cause excessive
damage by cutting off newly set to-
mato plants or cabbage plants that
have just beer transplanted from seed
boxes. Such. plants may be rather
easily protected by wrapping a small
square or strip of paper around the
stem when setting them out. so tina
the stem near the ground will be pro
tected by a cylinder or collar OF pa

make two or three turns around thu

Two Ways of Fighting the Cutworm.

Ney - sfS ",
The most satisfactory remedy for

material known as poisoned bran

If a large amount is needed mix

bran. Then prepare some sweetened
water by mixing one quart of cheap

Moisten the poisoned bran with the

while the main body of the letter dealt
in safe generalities.
