CUTwORMS NUMEROUS

Reports are coming into the office or
the director of the extension service TO
the effect that the cutworms are numer-
Gus this year. and are doing much damage
to farm vegetable and flower plants, 1t
should, therefore, be n matter of much
general interest to know a little about
this pest and how to control it.
Cutworms are smooth, nearly naked
caterpllars, varying in length from one
TO two inches when FUN grown. The
species derives its name from its habit
of feeding, namely that of cutting of the
Seeding plants near the surface of the
ground. The creatures live near the sur
face of the ground. and since they are
MISUNDERSTANDING mostly at night and
are inconsplcuous, they are seldom seen
except by bug hunters" The caterpl-
lars are miniature choppers. and can fall
many plants like a woodsman, since they
eat at crucial places. and topple down
many plants in a single night.
ANY extensive insect book may list a
dozen or more species. differing but lit
tie. but all capable of the same general
mode of destruction and succumbng to
a poison bait
The standard remedy consists in the
use of poison bait made as follows:
Bran % pounds, Paris green one pound.
molasses two quarts, oranges or lemons
three parts. water three and one-hali
gallons Mix the bran and Paris green
squeeze the lemon juice into 1.-THE water
finely chop the peel and pulp, adding II
and the molasses. then pour all into the
bran and stir thoroughly. Scatter the
mixture at night near infested plants
but 40 not let II touch them,
Tomato cabbage and similar plants
may be wrapped with paper collars near
the ground to repel the caterpillars.
