CUTWORM REMEDIES.

The soil throughout northern New
Jersey is full of cutworms and great
damage from those insects can he
looked for next spring. On one farm
in spadipg up the soil around some
young apple and peach trees. late in
the autumn. every spadeful turned
over contained from two to six fat
white grubs or caterpillars that will

youring any tender vegetation that
can be found. lettuce. radishes. corn,
any tender plants in the flower or
vegetable garden. Cutworms will be
trouble come in New York State and
other localities also. and gardeners
should be prepared, having remedies
ready to apply at II first sign of
trouble.
Strawberry beds have been known
to be ruined in n few night by cut
worms. Sometimes it may be neces-
sary TO dig up the plants with Il
small hand fork, stirring around in
the soil near the plant until the worm
Is located and destroyed. when the
plant can be reset In its original place.
This Is considerable work, but IL may
save the crop which otherwise would
be lost.
Tomatoes, cabbagcs. sweet potatoes
and other vegetables and garden
plants, and especially hose which are
started under glass n transplanted,
are subject to serious injury by cut
worms. These pests appear in the
spring and early summer and IRE
quently do severe injury before their
ravages are noticed. Their method OF
attack Is to cut of the young plants
at about the face of the ground.
and as these caterpillars are of large
size and .voracious feeders they are
capable of destroying many plants in
a single night-frequcntly more than
they can devour. Every year these
insects, working generally throughout
the United States, have destroyed hun
dreds of thousands of dollars worth
Of crops. BY the timely application
Of remedies, however. as has been
demonstrated through ~entomologlsts
Of the Department Of Agriculture. they
readily can be controlled. and large
areas have been successfully treated.
The usual method of control Is by the
use of poisoned bats.
How tn Mix aud Apply Poisoned
Balta.
Take a bushel of dry bran, add |
pound of white arsenic or Paris green
and mix 1t thoroughly into "A mash
with eight gallons OF water In which
has been stirred half a gallon OF
sorghum or other cheap molasses'
This amount will be sufficient for the
treatment of about four or five acres
of cultivated crops. After the mash
has stood for several hours, scatter it
in Jumps about the size Of n marble

over the fields where the injury is be-
ginning to appear and about the bases
Of the plants set out. Apply late in
the day. 30 as to place the poison
about the plants before night, which IL
the time when the cutworms are ac-
tive. Apply a second time II neces-
sary. For small gardens use the same
proportions but in smaller quantities.
what 10 Ne when Cstwerms
Travel Like Army Worms.
When cutworms occur in unusual
abundance. which happens locally and
they exhaust their food supply and
Are driven to migrate to other fields.
This they do literally IN armies. as
Stunning what Ia called the army worm
habit. At such times II Is necessary
to treat them the same as army worms.
While the methods which have been
advised are valuable in such cases,
they may be too slow to destroy all the
cutworms. and other methods must be
employed. These include trcnching.
~ditching. the p%loughing Of deep burrows
In advance Of the travelling cutworms
to trap them. and the dragging Of logs
or brush through the burrows. II
the trenches can be filled with water
the addition Of n small quantity Of
Kerosene. so as to form a thin scum
ON the surface, will prove fatal TO the
cutworms. In extreme cases barriers
of fence boards are erected and the
tops smeared with tar or other sticky
substances to stop the cutworms as
they attempt to crawl ove
spraying with Arsenicals.
In extremely severe attacks By cut
worms on choice plants there il soine-
times no opportunity to prepare the
poisoned bait. In such cases an ar
senate Of lead or Paris green spray
will answer quite IA well. In one in
stance "a parsley field was sprayed
with four pounds OF arsenate Of lead
To nifty gallons Of water: this killed all
the cutworms. whereas IL they had
been left alone for a day or two longer
the field probably would have been de-
stroyed. The result. however. was a
perfect stand-the best ever made by
the grower. In this case five applica-
tons were made.
Cultural Methods and Crop Rota-
tiOn.
Clean cultural methods and crop ro-
tation are advisable. as are also fall
ploughing and disking. to prevent re-
currences Of cutworm attacks. Many
cutworms can be destroyed where II
IL possible to overflow the fields. par
ticularly where irrigation Is prac-
tised.
Another Remedy for Cutwornas.
Lime slaked with water and di.
luted to the consistency OF milk
poured around the plants. Is said to
be effective.
There are several different kinds Of
cut worms and In a later issue thes
will be described.
