THIS HOME REMEDY
WILL FIX CUTWORMS

Home gardeners may have trouble
with young plants being cut off lust
under the surface of the coil, if so. it
may be done by cutworms. Cutworms
are plump, fair sized worms, one to
two inches in length, variously colored
with shades of greenish yellow gray
brown or black. The worms are most
active at night and generally work by
cutting off young plants just at or
below the surface of the ground. Some
kinds climb up onto the plants and eat
the foliage. Arthur Frank, plant dis
ease specialist of the Western Wash
ington experiment station of the state
college recommends the following
treatment:
Spread poison bait on the ground
made with 20 pounds of bran. pound
Paris Green, 2 quarts Molasses or anv
syrup, juice from three oranges or
lemons and 312 gallons of water. Mix
the dry bran and Paris green. Squeeze |
the juice of the fruit into water and |
then chop the peel into bits and add
to the water. Add the molasses to the
water and wet the bran and poison
with 1T. Stir to dampen thoroughly and
% make just moist but not slopnv
nash Spread the poison bait on the
ground either by broadcasting or plac-
ng in piles. The above. quantity is
sufficient for three acres and by re-
lucing the amounts in the same pro-
may be used on small acres i
