(By W. c. PALMER, North Dakota Ag-

The active feeding roots of tree are
not near the trunk, but out on the very
ends of the new roots.
In watering a tree it does not do
much good TO just pour water around
the stem.
Distribute il from the trunk out as
far as the branches reach.

USEFUL RACK FOR LETTERS

the alternating cutworms, as well as
such other important corn pests as
white grubs, and should be practiced
when earlier blowing is impracticable.
Pasturing hogs upon land supposed
to be harbOr cutwCrmS Is q beneficial
practice, as these animals root up and
devour insects of many kinds, includ-
ing cutworms, in large numbers. Farm
poultry, if trained to follow the pillow,
will prove of inestimable value.
When cutworms are found to be
abundant on corn land, the use of the
poisoned bait is recommended. This
may be prepared as follows: Mix 80
pounds of wheat bran, pounds of
paris green, and 6 finely chopped or
anges or lemons. Then bring the whole
mixture to the consistency of a stiff
dough by the addition of a cheap mo-

adding water when necessary. Dis
tribute this bait over the infested field
in small Jumps, taking care to sprinkle
it sparingly around each hill. In case
bran cannot be readily obtained mid
dlings or alfalfa meal may be success
fully substituted.
Frequently cutwOrms migrate to
cultivated fields from adjoining grass
land, and in such cases the crops can
be protected By running narrow
band of the poisoned bait around the
edge Of the field or along the side
nearest the source OF infestation.
