that harbors cutworms will root up
and devour great quantities Of the In
sects.
In most cases the moths lay their
eggs in the late summer or early fall
in fields which are covered with grass
or weeds. The worms hatch In few
weeks, feed upon this vegetation until
cold weather, and then hibernate as
partly-grown caterpillars. When the
infested field is broken up and planted
to corn or other wide-row crops In the
spring, the worms are deprived Of their
natural food and are compelled to at
tack the newly-planted crop. They
continue to consume an enormous
amount of food until they have at
tanned their full growth, and change
to the pupal or resting stage In late
June CT early July.

work; when you can start, and about
how many homes are within six
