cultivation. AS a result, the terraces
are more liable to break, and much
more maintenance work is required
than where the rows are run parallel
to the terraces.
All terraces hat are cultivated
should be plowed at least once a year,
and the soil should be thrown to the
center. In this way the height of the
terrace Is kept up and the base may
he broadened each year.
Steep land that washes badly be-
tween the terraces should not be Gull
tivated. The terraces should first be
well built and the entire field seeded
to grass and used for pasture or
meadow.
When 1t Is found necessary to cross
a farm road in terracing a field, the
building of the terraces should be con-
tinued across without regard to the
road. Where the terraces are as much
as 20 feet broad, no provision need be
made for passing traffic across them,
but they should be carefully main
tanned to prevent possible breaks.
Where the terraces are not more than
ten feet broad, considerable %inconveni-
ehce to traffic and injury to the ter
races generally results where no pro-
vision for crossing is made. Some
times the water is carried under the
roadway by a %culvert, but the principal
objections to this are that the capac-
ity of the waterway is greatly reduced
and the free flow of the water through
the .culvert is often INSTRUCTED by
stalks or other trash washed from the
field. A wooden bridge spanning the
channel, SO as not TO reduce very much
the cross-sectional area of the water
way, makes a more desirable and sat

Summary Of Control Measures for the
Army Worm.
l.. Watch fields Of growing grass
and grain carefully, especially the
meadows, during the spring and early
summer months, TO discover the army
worms before they become full grown
and spread over the entire farm.
When the worms are discovered at
work, do not lose a minute, but attack
them vigorously by means Of the meas
ures outlined in foregoing paragraphs.
2. Poison them by spraying crops
not intended for forage with n
pound Of paris green to so gallons Of
water, or with two pounds Of pow
dered a~rsenate Of lead to so gallons
of water. In case the paris green Is
used on tender plants. like corn, add
two pounds of freshly-slaked lime to
90 gallons OF the mixture. This is TO
prevent burning the tender plants.
Where spraying Is not practicable,
the use OF the poisoned-bran bait al
ready mentioned is strongly recon-
mended.

row or ditch and crush them with q
