Means of Control Given
for Early Garden Pests

Cutworms, wireworms and plant
lice are three of the most important
garden insects which begin their at
tacks early in the spring and which
must be given special attention from
the gardener if damage to plants is
to be prevented, according to state
ments issued by Fl. E. levitt, of the
State College of Agriculture.
The cutworm usually begins his
work early in March and may be
found cutting off the first tender
sprouts in the garden. These worms
conceal themselves under the sur
face of the ground or loose material
and feed at night. They may be con-
trolled by spraying grass or weeds
with poison before the ground is
plowed and by scattering poison
bran mash over the ground before
the seeds are planted. This mash is

Advices in Avoiding
Bad Canned Goods

Acting on information received
from the Breau of Chemistry, United
sa,tes DEPARTMENT of Agriculture.
Washington, the Bureau Of Pure
Food and Drugs of the State Board
of Health has issued a general warn
ing against botulism, a disease which
occurs as a result of eating con-
Eliminated timed food and which al
ready has caused several fatalities
in the United States. No deaths have
yet been caused in Kentucky by the
disease, the bureaus announcement
states, but in order that the people
of the state may protect themselves
from potential dangers it is deemed
advisable that they be acquainted
with its seriousness.
The disease is not necessarily
fatal, but it is easier to avoid than
to cure. It's sole cause is bacteria
in canned food and the presence of
these bacteria invariably may be de-
tected by the person opening the
container. If all canned goods that
appear spoiled to the eye or to the
nose are destroyed the disease need
not be feared.
The bureaus announcement states
that its warning is by no means an
indictment Of canning practices nor
a warning against canned food. IL
was issued purely in the hope that
any canned food that appears to the
senses the least bit suspicious will
be thrown away Immediately.

made by mixing two pounds of Paris
Green or white arsenic with so lbs
of bran, moistened with water and
sweetened with molasses at the rate
of one-half pound to each gallon.
Where cabbage or tomato plants are
being set out additional protection
may be secured by wrapping stems
loosely with tough wrapping paper.
The cylinders of paper should ex-
tend from the base of the root to
two or three inches above the top Of
the ground.
Wireworms are at times very an
moving in gardens where they attack
potatoes, corn, cabbage, beets,
onions and other vegetables and in
addition are difficult to control.
Where possible the garden should be
put on land that is known to be
free from these pests. A partial i'm
munity may be obtained by scatter
ing and narrowing corn into the
ground that has been soaked in ar
senic. Pieces of potato or succulent
plants poisoned with arsenic may be
used as bait. This bait should be
covered with boards.
Plant lice attack all kinds of gar
den plants and do their damage by
sucking the juices. They are also
instrumental in scattering certain
plant diseases. The gardener should
watch for their appearance and be-
gin treatment when the first insects
appear. These pests multiply rap
idly and in astonishing numbers and
for that reason may do considerable
damage. They are best, controlled by
spraying with tobacco solution, to
which soap has been added at the
rate of one pound to five or ten gall
Ions.
