WORMS HAVE SWEET TOOTH
Eat Corn and VegetsbIes-kiIied by
Arsenic in Bran Bait

Advantage Is taken of the liking OF
cutworms for sweets in freeing corn
fields and gardens OF these pests. A
bait sweetened with syrup and fruit
juices and poisoned with compounds
or arsenic has been effective in ey-
terminating them.
The worms are especially prevalent
on sod land. They generally feed only
at night, cutting off plants near the
ground and sometimes burrOwing into
the plant itself, Ohio entomologists
recommend poisoned bran bait for use
in badly infested fields TO kill off these
insects. The directions given for the
mixture are: With . TO IS pounds Of
wheat bran. or greater amount OF
cornmeal or middlings. thoroughly
mix while dry onehalf pound Of Paris
green or an equal weight of powdered
arsenate of lead, or of powdered white
arsenic. Dilute one quart of any
cheap syrup with two 10 three gallons
of water and mix with the bran and
arsenic. Run through meat grinder
six lemons or oranges or else chop
them fine and add the skins. pulp and
Juice 10 the other ingredients. Add
sufficient water to wet the mixture.
not making il sloppy.
This bait is scattered over the land
in little heaps, which keep moist
longer if covered with pieces of wood
or punches of freshly mown grass or
weeds. The cutworms are more likely
TO find the poison when thus hiden.
since they retreat TO such places for
hiding during the day. Best results
are reported from scattering this bait
over the field before planting. A tea
spoonful of the mixture put at the
base of each garden plant liable to
attack will afford good protection, the
experts say. If the plants are drilled
in rows, line OF bait may be placed
on each side OF the row.
Grass or other suCculent vegetation

pound of Paris green TO 80 gallons Of

SPECIAL CARE NEEDED
TO GROW CAULiFLOWER
Water, Thorough TiIIaqe and Fertili.
ger Essential for Best Crop

Abundant water, thorough tillage,
fertilizers and freedom from insects
insure success with cauliflower under
intensive cultivation. The late crop
Is most successful. according to gar
deners at the Ohio Experiment Sta
ton. since hot weather prevents prop
er head development.
In the bed the plants are usually
set two feet apart each way. line
of three or four inch draintile is laid
about three inches deep between the
rows lengthwise of the bed. TO obtain
uniform watering the tile should be
laid level. On hillsdes the tile must
not be laid up and down the slope, ~lt
with il and always on level, these
horticultursts advise One end of the
tile is stopped with clay or mortar and
the other end elevated so as to permit
entrance Of the hose conveying water,
In dry times the bed is watered once
week through these tiles. Too much
water Injuries the plants
Frequent stirring or the soil saves
moisture. This can be done with
common garden rake, hoe also being
used at times to stir the soil to a
greatr depth. Raking after each rain
prevents crust from forming and
holds water.
The Experiment Station specialists
advise the application of pound Of
nitrate of soda to each square rod at
planting time and the same amount
within a month later. Well-rotted
manure and three pounds of acid
phosphate per square rod are recon-
mended to be worked into the soil
before the plants are set.
When the caulflower begins to
form heads. the leaves are gathered
over the tops of the plants and tied
so as TO shade the heads and thus
keep them from turning brown.
Cabbage worms work on caulifower,
They can be controlled by spraying
the plants with solution made Of an
ounce of pyrethrum to 2 gallons of
water or by busting them with the
pyrethrum powder mixed with ten
times as much -four.
