There Is no reason why we can not
have far greater occasion than las
years, which was only an experiment.
People have learned where Dinkins'
Mill is, its accessibleness, etc.
Our country folks understand and
SD the city people, that everyone is to
carry a basket, and that no one need
go away hungry.
Speakers are being arranged to ad-
dress us on living questions of the
day. Matters we need to know, to
think about, to arrange for. The
time is short SO let us get busy and
try to bring great company of
folks, the rich and poor, the high and
low, all the trades and professions,
together. 1t is everybody's occasion,
and let us make the most of it.
While writing on the subject it is
not amiss to say something about the
dinner table. The writer's plan is to
have a common table served by COM
petent persons chosen for the occa-
sion, and in sufficient number, and let
there be an inner table with sulIi-
cient food reserved for those waiting
whose needs will be attended to after
the others have been fed l sug-
gest this that there maybe no embar-
rassment to the poor, who may at
tend. We believe it is for our mutual
good for all classes to come togcth-
er once a year in the manner indi-
Gated.
We are not the picnic, and if ;hC
powers that be arrange otherwise VIC
submit gracefully.

The cut worms feed ONLY at nioht
During the day they are under cover
usually at the base of the plants
Just beneath the surface of the

Wrap writing paper around the
stalks of the plants near the base

IN the family garden is intensely
practical when done every morning
for a period of seven days 1t takes
but few minutes to do this every
morning. They can frequently be
trapped by punching a hole at the
| base Of each plant with broom
handle or by placing shingles near
the plants for them to collect under
at night. Before cut worm in
tested ground is planted one can
scatter poisoned weeds or clover on
the ground late in the evening so
that these plants will remain fresh
during the night. Chick weed is
good plant to use. The plants are
dipped in a solution of arsenate Of
lead at the rate of one part to fifty
! gallons Of water or one tablespoon

paste with Il little water before ad-
ding to the pail Or barrel. An ex-

as follows: Mix fifty pounds of
wheat bran, two pounds of Paris
Green and six finely chopped oranges
or lemons. Make this whole mix
ture into a dough by the addition of
cheap molasses, adding water if
| necessary. Distribute this late in
the afternoon, sprinkling it spar
ingly around each hill. In the alb
| sence Of the wheat bran, middlings
or other brands can be substituted
Cut worms become full grown
about May 18th, when they are
