PROTECT AGAINST cuTwoRM.
Storrs Station Tells How to Sprinkle
Poisoned Bran Mash.

The following directions from the
Connecticut Agricultural Experiment
station have been issued:
CutwormS are the caterpillars Or
larvae of ceratin moths, and have the
habit of cutting off the stems of plants
near the surface of the ground Much
injury is done by them to nearly all
kinds of garden and field crops, and
many inquiries are sent to the station
each year regarding remedies. Cut
worms naturally feed during their
growth upon the roots of grass and
other native plants and ordinarily are
unnoiced. From the time the ground
is plowed usually several days elapse
before the plants appear, and during
this time the worms are forced to go
without food. The newly transplanted
plants are therefore attacked and
greatly damaged. The name cutworm
is applied to the larvae of several
species of owlet or poctuid moths, all
of which are somber colored and fly at
night. There is usually one brood
each year. and the eggs are laid upon
grasses during the latter part of sum
mer.
One of the most satisfactory RENE
dies is to1dtstribute a poisoned sweet
ened bran mash over the field, which
bay be prepared as follows: Bran five
or orange one fruit, molasses one pint,
water seven pints.
Mix the bran and paris green to-
gether. dry. Squeeze juice of lemon
into water, and then cut pulp and peel
into fine pieces and add to water; then
add nlolasses and stir. Add syrup to
bran and mix thoroughly The mash
should be scattered over the field tust
before dark, preferably g. few days be-
fore the plants are set. A few plants
in the garden may be protected by
wrapping the stems with paper.
CutWorms may also be trapped by
placing small pieces Of board on the
ground. They will crawl under these.
and can then be hunted and killed
Late fall blowing uncovers many cut
worms. thus exposing them to birds
and other natural anannies

WRITES NEW LAW BOOK.
Former Secretary to Senator Burton
Issues Another Volume.

The Cleveland, O., Plain Dealer of
May 20 said:
Hubert Bruce Fuller, formerly sec
rotary to ex-senator Theodore E.
Burton, has written a new law book,
just off the press. Copies began to be
delivered in Cleveland yesterday.
The title of the work is THE Act to
Regulate Commerce. Construed by the
United States Supreme Court" 1t is
an exhaustive treatise on the interstate
commerce act, including an exposition
of every case decided by the supreme
court up to April 1, and all amend
ments to the act up to the time of the
next session of congress-
It is the second legal volume that
Mr.. Fuller has written. The first was
1.-THE Law of Accident and Employers
Liability Insurance" The author,
whose Office is at I'LL Williamson
building. was a year and a half pre-
pairing the new book, which is pub
lished in Washington.
Mr.. Fuller is a nephew of Mrs. Fan
ME C. Church of the Norwich probate
office, and an occasional visitor in

WORK SLOW ON
PUBLIC BUILDINGS
Connecticut Projects Are Held Up
Putnam Is One of Them.

Washington, May 25.-Connecticut
projects for new public buildings do
not seem to be making much progress
in government circles these days.
Inquiry at the supervising archi-
tects office developed the fact that
the biggest public building project in
the state, that at New Haven, is get
ting along pretty we'll The super
structure of the federal building in
that city is said to be nearly COM
pIeted. Plans are being prepared for
the interior finish of the building Bids
on this latter work will be called for
before long.
New Haven, however, seems to be
an exception to the general rule. There
is Branford, for instance, where a site
and building was authorized by con-
gress in 1913 at a cost of $4,000. No
bid for furnishing Uncle Sam with
a site has yet been accepted by the
department.
Four thousand dollars has been ap-
propriated to buy a site at Mystic,
where the construction of a, building
has been authorized by congress to
cost $4,000. as long ago as 1913. Yet
the project has made no advance prac-
tically
At Middletown the construction of
a building to cost $4,000 was author
lied two years ago. A site is al
ready owned there by the government.
on the list of projects to be taken up
by the architect. These projects are
taken UP in order and it will be lucky
if Middletown is reached before the
fall Of 1916. Then it takes a long
time to- prepare plans and specifica-
lions, advertise for bids, consider the
same, and award contract. All of
these steps of course, must follow
the requirement of a site, which means
a very long delay in the case of Mys-
tic and Branford and other places.
The Rockville building project must
take its turn. the architect says. When
that will be is not known At Man
chester a site is owned, but no build
ing upon it has been authorized.
The Putnam building case is being
held up awaiting additional legisla-
ton, thanks to the efforts of former
Representative Mahan of New Lon
don to have the government site al
ready purchased there exchanged for
another site. This delay is apt to con-
tinue for a year or more.
An $4,000 building has been author
lied for Naugatuck. which is thirty
sixth on the list. That means that
work will begin on the plans of that
structure some time after next Jan
uary
project, which involves IA $50, 900
building on a site owned by the gov
eminent. This is the fifty-sixth pro-
ject on the list and may be reached
in the spring of 1915.
The Danbury and Stamford build
ing projects, which were authorized
years ago, are now under contract, but
the Stamford building is not to be
completed before September, 1916. The
Danbury building will be a long time
attaining completion, although $50, 900
is available for work upon il.

TUNNEL TO CONNECT
COLLEGE BUILDINGS
VIII Run from Power and Heating
Plant to Other Structures.


Award has just been made of the
contract for the construction of the
big underground tunnel at Connecti-
cut College for Women, now under
construction at New London. 1t is to
connect the dormitories, science hall
and other structures with the power
and heating plant. The tunnel, which
is to be built of concrete and stone,
will measure seven feet in height and
four in width. Through it will run all
pipes. such as those containing light
ing and telephone wires, and steam.
The conduit will be approximately $50
feet in length
Plant and Allyn halls, as the do11ni-
tories are to be known, are ready for
the finishing touches. The roofs are
on and they are receiving their final
coat of plaster. The window frames
are also in place. Practically the dor
mitories appear as they will when the
institution IS formally opened in Sep
TENDER next
Skaters are now at work putting the
roof on the science building. to be
operations will be finished before the
end of the week. The heating 9nd
power plant has also reached the stage
where the roof is being laid. Thus four
of the college buildings are almost in
for use. By the terms of the
contract Aug. 1 was the date set for
them but they will probably
be completed considerably before that
time.
The next thing to be done will be
the rebuilding of the Lee and Prentis
dwelling houses on the college prop
erty into a temporary refectory or
dining hall and the construction of
an open air gymnasium as advocated
by President Sykes,
