About this time when the garden
Is beginning TO look very nice and
we are thinking that in> few
days we will be able 90 go out
and have some nice fresh vege-
tables for the table. we begin to
notice that the plants are looking
yellow, and that the leaves are
full of little holes, or are curling
up. Upon closer examination, we
discover that there seems TO be a
little bug or lousc or worm having
good time upon our nice garden.
There are two types Of these
garden pests. One type lives upon
the leaves and stems OF the plants
and secures its nourishment by
sucking the Juice from the plants,
the other type also lives upon the
leaves and stems OF the plants. but
secures its nourishment by eating
the stems and leaves. Probably in
this section the first type mention
ed is the more common.

The County Agent has just re-
ceived the following information
concerning the cutworms.
Cutworms are the young of
number OF species OF brown furry
moths. About midsummer the full
grown cutworms burrow into the
ground to change to pupae, which
soon transform to moths.
The moths lay their eggs on
lower leaves of grass. The young
worms feed on the grass during
fall and in winter burrow into the
ground for projection,
In the spring the worms como
out Of the ground and attack al.
most any young plants they find
at the surface. They feed at night
cutting off the stems close above
the roots and hide away In loose
earth or under rubbish during the
day. Later in the season they
climb the stalks at night and
feed on the leaves.
Control
The best remedy for the cut
worms is poisoned bran bait made
as follows: Thoroughly mix 90
pounds Of bran. pounds OF Paris
green and 3 finely chopped lemons
4 stir TO damp mash with to :
| gallons of water sweetened with
one-halr gallon OF low-grade mo-
lasses.
Sow sparingly around bases oI
plants or broadcast over the field
where infestation Is general.
