TRUCK CROPS SUBJECT 10 SERIOUS DAMAGE
BY CUTWORMS; TREATMENT METHOD GIVEN

Rv HlCH

Tomatoes, cabbages, sweet potatoes, let
Ituce, and other truck plants, especially
those which are started under glass and
|transplanted, are subject 10 serious injury
by cutworms. These pests appear some
times in great numbers in the spring and
early summer, and frequently do severe
injury before their ravages are noticed.
Their method of attack is to cut off the
young PLANTS M about the surface of the
ground. md as these caterpillars are Of
large shetland voracious feeders, they are
capable OF destroying many plants in a
single night Frequently more than they
can devour. Every year these insects,
working generally throughout the United
States, have destroyed hundreds of thou
sands of dollars worth of crops. BY the
Timely application of remedies, however, as
has been demonstrated by entomoliglsts OF
the L. s. Department of Agriculture, they
readily can be controlled, even over con-
siderable areas The usual method of con-
Dtrol is by the use of poisoned bats.
HOW TO MIX AND APPLY POISON
Take a bushel of dry bran, add | pound
of white arsenic or Paris green, and mix
lit thoroughly into mash with ) gallons OF
water in which has been stirred half a gal
Ion of sorghum or other cheap molasses.
(Arsenic and Paris green are deadly pois-
ons. Handle them with great care.) This
amount will be sufficient for the treatment
of about 4 or 5 acres of cultivated crops.
After the mash has stood for several
hours, scatter it, in humps about the size
of a marble, over the fields where the in
Jury is beginning to appear and about the
bases of the plants set out. Apply late in
the day, so n TO place the poison about
the plants before night, which is the time
when the cutworms are active. Apply a
second time. il necessary. Keep children,
livestock ard chickens away from this
bait.

WHEN CUTWORMS TRAVEL LIKE
ARMY WORMS.

When cutworms occur in unusual album
dance, which happens locally, and some
times generally, they exhaust their food
supply and migrate to other fields. This
they do literally in armies, assuming what
it called the army worm habit. AT such
times il 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 trenching, ditch
ing, the blowing of deep burrows in adj
vance Of the travelling cutworms to trap
them, and the dragging of logs or brush
through the burrows. III the trenches can
be filled with water, the addition of 4
small quantity of Kerosene, so a to form
a thin scum on the surface, will prove fat
al To the cutworms. In extreme eases, bar
riers of fence boards are erected and the
tops smeared with tar or other sticky
substances to stop the cutworms a they
attempt to crawl over.

SPRAYING WITH ARsENICALS.

In extremely severe attacks by cut
worms on choice plants there j. some
times no opportunity to prepare the pois-
oned bait. In such eases an arsenatc of
lead spray will answer quite a well. In
one instance a parsley field was sprayed
with 4 pounds OF arsenate of lead to 80
gallons of water; this killed all the cut
worms, whereas if they had been left

BUREAU ADMITS GOVERNOR WAS
RIGHT.

The fact that the operation of the
state bureau of inspection has cost
the cities, counties and various taxing
districts of the state hundreds of
thousands Of dollars during the six
years Of it's operations, as charged by
Governor Lister in his inaugural mes
sage when he urged its abolition, is
fully borne out in the lengthy and
windy" defense of it submitted BY
State Auditor C. w. Clausen to the
governor this week in response to
the governors request.
The statement put out in connec-
ton with the report shows that dur
ing the years 1910, 1911, 1912, 1913,
1914. 1915 and 1916, the cities,
and counties and taxing districts of
the state have had to pay the grand
total Of $366,959.97 for the exami-
nations made by the bureau. An
amusing and perhaps striking fea-
ture Of 1t is that the most expensive
year was the campaign year Of 1912,
when the cost ran up to $72,909.41,
and the next most expensive was the
campaign year of 1916, when the
cost was $58,846.92.
Two bills relative to the abolition
OF the bureau are pending in the
legislature. One Of them carries out
the governors recommendation that
q state accountant be authorized to
audit the accounts Of the various
state departments. No examinations
Of city or county records are to be
made unless formally requested by
the county commissioners or superior
court.
