DISTRICT HORTICULTURISTS.

OLYMPIA, Feb. 25.-T. o. Morri-
son, deputy commissioner at the head
of the horticultural branch of the
State Department of Agriculture,
has announced the 10 district horticul-
turists as provided under the new

divisions now made. The five men
who lose their positions as regular in
spectors are: W. B. Harris. Garfield /;
j. @. Eackle, Colville; g. @. Brown,
Castle Rock; G. e. Flint Bellingham,
and Stephen Land, Port Angeles.
The IL men who remain in the SER
vice regularly, with their headquar-
tiers, follow: H. w. Sampson,
Everett; r. N. Rhodes, Seattle:
Henry Huff, Tacoma; K. L. Dalton,
Olympia; l. r. Fletcher, Vancouver;
P. S. Darlington, Wenatchee; F. e.
De Sellem, North Yakima; Luke
Powell, Prosser; G. w. Gilbreath,
Walla Walla, and j. H. Brislawn Spo-
kane.

WANT MIR. PERKINS JOB.

OLYMPIA, Feb. 25.-The choice of
successor to Commissioner of Agri-
culture j. H. Perkins, whose resigna-
ton was recently rendered to Cover
nor Lister, lies, according to capital
gossip. among three men who have
been mentioned prominently though
nothing has appeared from an official
source to credit any Of them as
probability. ="
E. A. Mcdonald Of Seattle, federal
food and drug inspector in the West
ern Washington district; j. A.
Tormey, head of the State College
farm extension departent at Pullman,
and DR.. Fl. T. Graves, deputy COM
missioner at the head OF the dairy
and livestock branch of the State De-
partment of Agriculture, are three
mentioned.
Mcdonald was in Olympia almost
before the ink had dried on the gov
ernor's letter accepting the resigna-
ton of Commissio ner Perkins, which
resignation, it appears, was virtually
required by the governor owing to
dissatisfaction with the way Perkins
had conducted the State fair. Origi-
nally republican, Mcdonald enlisted
in the ranks of silver republicanism
in 1896, and helped the populists and
democrats elect John R. Rogers. In
return, he was appointed state dairy
and food Inspector by Rogers. Nc
Donald is now credited with being a
democrat. He is supposed to have
the support of Senator d. S. Troy, of
Chimacum, one of the closest demo-
Gratis to the governor in the state.
OF J. A. Tormey. it is said that he
voted three times for William Jen-
nings Bryan, twice for John R.
Rogers and once for Ernest Lister,
all points in his favor.
AS for the purported candidacy of
DR.. Graves, he, too, has voted the
democratic ticket first, last and all
the time.

CONTROL THE CUTWORMS.

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
Wallis, Ore, Feb. 18.-Young plants
that are just pushing through the
ground are often attacked by sleek,
well fed, greasy, sparsley haired cut
worm caterpillars. The plants are
found to have been cut off near the
surface of the ground, with the wilted
tops lying near. These worms are
capable of doing a vast amount of
damage from the fact that they mere
ly NOV down the plants, thus destroy
ing many times the plant substance
that they consume.
Late summer, or fall, or early
spring blowing, followed by frequent
narrowing where practicable, is very
effective in controlling cutworms
By thus keeping down all the vegeta-
ton the worms are starved out
After the crops have started grow
ing, the standard remedy for cut
worms, according to Professor A. L..
Lovett, o. A. G. specialist in garden
and field pests, is the poison bran
mash. The mash is prepared as fol-
lows: Coarse bran, 16 pounds, Paris
Green, one-half pound; salt, one
fourth pound; cheap syrup, one
quart; warm water to make coarse,
crumbly mash. Be sure not to get
the material sloppy; it should fall
apart readily in the hand after being
pressed together. Small heaps Of
the mash may be placed about the
young plants. If the cut worms are
working in from one side of the field,
the mash may be scattered or drilled
at right angles to their line OF attack.
1t is best to scatter it in the even
ing so that it will be moist for a
longer time. Chickens should not be
allowed free range on treated field.
Frequent STRINGS of the soil will
expose many of the worms. They
may also be rendered less harmful by
pressing stiff cylinders of paper or
tin down into the soil about the
plants, allowing them TO project about
two inches above the ground.
Because of their large numbers,
cutworms have invited the attack
of many natural enemies. Poultry,
and several types of birds including
the Robin, cat bird, black bird and
quail, feed on cutworms. Toads feed
on these worms and should be en-
couraged and protected rather than
destroyed. Spiders and wasps also
prey on cutworms. The majority of
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1914-03-01

notified grey and brown moths that
are attracted to lights are the adults
of cutworms. Cutworms pass the
winters as eggs, pupa, adult moths,
or as half grown cutworms in the soil.
The last named is type most injuri-

week. The film, with Annette Keller
mann in the star role, is one Of the most

whilo the story it tells is clean and in

takes more than two hours TO run off
the picture
"Neptune's Daughter is especially
adapted to Miss kellermann as It affords
