to Help Conservation Of Victuals.

Aid of the wholesale grocers OF
seventeen Southern States, including
Maryland, Virginia, and West Vir-
ginia, in meeting the necessity OF food
regulation and other war measures,
has been offered to the Government
Herbert c. Hoover has accepted this
offer OF assistance, and the associs-
ton has been authorized through Its
statesmen and its $50 members in the
South to solicit for the Liberty loan
bond sale.
President J. H. AcLAurin, OF the as
sociafion. said that the wholesale gro
GERS would welcome the day when
dealing in futures in foodstuffs is
prohibited.
Members Of the association, he de-
clared, look without prejudice upon
the railroads appeal for increased
freight rates. Mr.. McLaurin express
ed the view that IL was essential to
the wartime welfare of the country
for the railroaus to have any advance
that their showing before the Inter
state Commerce Commission may jus
tify.
Mr.. Hoover Is receiving offers'from
many big business men to serve with
out compensation on the food control
board. Representatives OF the Chi
cago packing houses volunteered their
assistance yesterday.

and sometimes generally, they ex-
haust their food supply and migrate
to other fields. This they do literally
in armies, assuming what is 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 de
stroy all the cutworms, and other
methods must be employed These in
clude .trenching, ditching, the plow-
ing OF deep burrows in advance OF
the travelling cutworms to trap them,
and the dragging of logs or bush
through the burrows. II the trenches
can be filled with water, the addi-
tion OF a small quantity Of kerosene,
80 as to form a thin scum on the
surface, will prove fatal to the cut
worms. 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 over.
Spraying with Ar.enleals.
'Tn extremely severe attacks Of cut
worms on choice plants there is some
times no opportunity to prepare the
poisoned bait In such cases an ar
senate OF lead spray viii answer quite
as we'll. In one instance a parsley
neld was sprayed with four pounds
Of arsenste Of lead TO fifty gallons Of
water; this killed all the cutworms,
whereas II they had been left alone
for q day or two longer the feld
probably would have been destroyed
The result was q perfect stand-the
best ever made by the grower In this
case five applications were necessary.
''Clean cultural methods and crop
rotation are advisable, as are also fall
plowing and discing, TO prevent re-
currences of cutworm attacks.
Many cutworms can be destroyed
where IL is possible to overflow the
fields, particularly where irrigation
is practiced."

The weeds are young and tender at
this time Owing to the fact that the
ground is still soft they will come
up easily. Give the weedy roots a
chance to set themselves firmly in
the ground and the amateur farmer
has a job on his hands"

ing cleared for the planting Of later

HOW TO GET RID OF
CUTWORM MENACE
Agriculture Dept. Tells Means Of
Destroying Garden Pest.

Tomatoes, cabbages, sweet pots-
toes, lettuce, and other truck plants,
especially those which are started
under glass and transplanted, are
subject to serious. injury by cut
worms, says a statement from the
Department of Agriculture. The de-
partment give the following explana-
tion OF the work OF these worms, and
how to get rid Of them:
These pests appear sometimes In
great numbers in the spring and
early summer, and frequently do Sc
we're injury before their ravages are
noticed Their method of attack Is
TO cut OF the young plants at about
the surface OF the ground, and as
these caterpillars are of large size,
and voracious feeders, they are ca
pable 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
thousands OF dollars worth OF crops.
By the timely application Of remedies,
however, as has been demonstrated
by entomologists OF the Department
of Agriculture, they readily can be
controlled, even over considerable
areas. The usual method OF control
Is by the use Of poisoned bats.
How to MIX Bats.
TAKE a bushel OF dry bran, add
one pound OF white arsenic or paris
green, and mix it thoroughly into
mash with eight gallons OF water. in
which has been stirred half a gallon
of sorghum or other cheap molasses.
(Arsenic and paris green are deadly
poisons; handle them with great
care.) This amount will be sufficient
for the treatment OF about four or
i've acres Of cultivated crops.
After the mash has stood for sew
eraI hours, scatter II, in humps about
the size OF a marble. over the fields
where the injury is beginning to ap-
pear and about the bases of the plants
set out. Apply late in the day, so as
TO place the poison about the plants
before night, which Is the time when
the cutworms are active. Apply a
second time, II necessary. Keep chill
dren, live stock, and chickens away
from this bait.

abundance, which happens locally,

BUG SEASON NEAR,
GARDENERS WARN
Expert Chittenden Tells How
to Save Plants.
ACTION SHOULD Be QUICK
Kerosene Emulsion on Small Plants
Most Effective.

The season for bugs which will
damage the crops in the home gardens
approaches.
"Exterminate the bugs by scientific
methods" is the advice OF the cen
tral gardens committee, given out
this morning.
F. II. Chittenden. OF the Depart
ment of Agriculture, in charge of
truck crop and stored product insect
investigation, acting at the request
OF the committee, has prepared a con-
densed statement which tells about
insecticides and the best method OF
using them.
insecticides are classified as in
ternal, or stomach poisons and ex-
ternal. or contact poisons," reads the
lecture OF the expert. 1.-THE former
kills by being eaten with the insect
food. and the latter by contact with
the bodies OF the pests.
Kerosene n Standard.
Among standard contact poisons,
especially valuable for aphides or
plant lice, leaf hoppers. plant bugs,
leaf bugs and small sucking insects
generally, kerosene emulsion Is the
best known and until recently has
been the most used. The addition
of whale oil, fish oil and nicotine
preparations add to the efficiency OF
the emulsion for purposes of spray
ing most kinds Of insects which have
been mentioned. Whatever solutions
are used are diluted with water be-
fore spraying.
"Emulsions are especially valu-
able when infested plants are small.
and to be of the greatest service
should be applied on the first ap-
pearanee of the insects and repeated
Is necessary.
kerosene soap emulsion is pre-
pared by combining two gallons OF
kerosene, two pounds OF whale oil. or
other soap, or one quart OF soft soap,
with one gallon of water. The laun-
dry soap, n dry. Is shaved and dis
solved in boiling water and then
poured Caway from the nrel while
stiIl boiling hot into the kerosene.
The mixture is then churned rapidly
for from i've to ten minutes, pumping
the liquid back upon itself by means
Of a force pump and direct discharge
nozzle throwing a strong stream.
The mixture will have become OF the
consistency OF thick cream. Properly
prepared, an emulsion will keep
through, an entire season It should
be diluted only as needed for use.
Force Pump Necessary.
Tor most species OF sucking bugs
the staple emulsion should be diluted
with from ten TO twenty parts of
water. In the preparation OF kero-
sene emulsion a force pump Is a
necessity. since II not made according
TO directions perfect emuIsion il

that Il Is mistlike. Spraying should
