CUTW0RMS AGAIN
RAVACE GARDENS
in SECOND VISIT
~" Farm School Chief Sug-
gests Formula for Com
batting Broods.

The cutworm is playing a return
engagement in Minnesota. Score of
complaints from gardeners have been
received by the division of entomolo-
gy of the State Farm school. Several
St. Paul gardeners have reported
heavy ravages. The worms are par
ticularly active on tomato plants and
even are eating the ripe tomatoes.
Cabbage and several other vegetables
also are being attacked.
Dr.. w. A. Riley, chief Of the di-
vision, said the damage is caused by
cutwprms of the second brood which
have. been. complained about occa-
sionaalNsin" former years, but never
have been 50 prolific as the present
year. For control in a small garden,
he says, it is best to hand pick them
and searching under rubbish and in
the ground at the base Of plants for
chem.
Aside from this, he said, the most
convenient and satisfactory method
of control Is by the use Of poison
bait. The formula for the bait for a
small garden would be: Three pounds
of bran, two ounces of paris green,
one cup of molasses, one-half lemon
or orange and one quart of water.
The poison and the bran should be
thoroughly mixed while dry. Then
the juice of the lemon should be
squeezed into the mixture of water
and syrup, and the remaining pulp
and peeling should be cut into small
bits and added. Wet the bran and
poison mixture with this and scatter
it in the garden in the evening"

SUGAR PROFITEERING.

Washington, Aug. Is. - Through
license regulations and power of the
food administration to procure the
cancellation of licenses, the depart
'ment of justice hopes to reach some
cases of protteering in sugar that it
would be more difficult to reach
through enforcement Of the criminal
provisions of the food control act.
This position of the department
was made plain in a circular sent to
district attorneys, calling attention
that food administration officials had
taken the position that sugar should
not retail for more than II cents
pound and that where it Is retailing
for more it indicates that either the
wholesaler or retailer is making an
unreasonable profit.
