THE DESTRUCTIVE CABBAGE WORM
BY r. H. CHITTENDEN.

The most destructive Of the many
insects and other enemies of the cab
bage family, is the caterpillar Of the
imported cabbage butterfly. sometimes
called the White Butterfly, familiar
object to nearly everyone. This is the
imported cabbage worm and is we'll
known to farmers throughout this
country and Europe as well, and the
butterfly is generally recognized as the
parent Of the worms.
This cabbage worm has been rightly
termed the bane Of the cabbage grow

and housewife. 1t begins work early

therefore to young plants, and accrues
through the necessity of replapting.

The egy production during Novem-

the fact that only two Of the birds

HOW TO RID OUR FARMS OF WEEDS
BY A L. STONE

Perennial weeds offer the greatest
resistance and require more thorough
and persistent effort Two of the most
troublesome of our common vesdD
are Quack Grass and Canada ThiutlA
The former may be distinguasheA
from other grasses II its characteristics
cd will destroy Quack Grass win also
kill Canada Thistle OF any other
perennial weed.
FalloWing or cultivation without Q
crop lis the most certain method Of
eradication on large areas. and may
be used to good advantage except on
sandy soils and those continuously wet
or very porous. Success depends up
on the depth of blowing and froqssans
cultivation. The prevention of all
leaf growth in weeds means their Ger
tain death. Certain cropping systems
will usually be successful with 00ack
Grass.
Small areas may be freed Il per-
ennial weeds by covering with papsr
or by close cultivation.
Special methods for eradscattne
thistles that do not apply to Quaek
Grass are the growing Of alfalfa. tho
seeding down OF fields to PERENNIAL
grasses, sailing the plants, or applytng
gasoline or carbolic acid.
Concerted action Is necessary. n

each other, with the Legislature and

an average Of e.4 cents per pupil daily.
demonstrating by their operation how
superior educational opportunities may
be brought to an additional million
country boys and girls.
The evolution of the rural school in
to the consolidated school in large
part bridges the gap between the
rural school and the College of Agri-
culture. and the rapidly multiplying
large secondary agricultural schools
and agricultural courses in local high
schools are completing that bridge.
The chief interest in the life Of a
in the country, lies in the
division Of the school time into
recitation and study hours, and the
manner in which the child may utilize
this time in his average eight years OF
school attendance, determines in a
large measure the extent to which he
is to be benefited.
The consolidated school also makes
