Poison Bran Mash Used
to Eradicate CutWormS

Where cutworms attack the small
fruits such as strawberries and rasp-
berries as well us vegetables and
other crops the use of poison bran
mash may solve the difficulty.
For quick results the entomologists
recommend an inexpensive poison bait
either broadcast in the field, or in
the case of raspberries. sprinkled
about the base of each plant or hill.
The following formula will provide
enough for five acres: Bran, twenty
pounds; paris green, one pound; cheap
molasses, two quarts; three lemons,
and three and half gallons of water.
Mix the bran and paris green dry.
Squeeze the juice of the lemons into
the water, then finely chop the peel
and the pulp and this add also to the
water. Dissolve the sirup In the wa
ter and fruit mixture, after which
stir the liquid into the bran thorough
ly. dampening 1t evenly throughout
If SO large quantity is not needed,
mix the smaller batch in proportion
to the amounts given above.
Spread the poison in the evening, as
the cutworms feed at night, and the
bait will therefore be In better condi-
tlon than If applied earlier in the day.

Spraying Trees in Full
Bloom Harmful to Bees

Some orchardists think it time to
spray trees while in full bloom. If
sprayed at this time the neighboring
honey bees are either weakened or
killed by the poison spray. This is
both loss to the beskeeper and or
chardist, as the honeybee is indis-
pensable to pollination. Experiments
conducted at Cornell and the Geneva
experiment stations showed that spray
ing trees while in bloom decidedly In
jured the blossoms and checked the
development Of the pollen. The Yer
mont experiment station says spray
ing at this time Is waste of time
and material THE orchardist can
hardly afford to injure the delicate re-
productive organs Of the flowers,
neither can the beekeeper afford to
lose his bees. 1t would be of interest
to both orchardist and beekeeper to
spray at some other time.

SPRAY BEFORE RAIN
FOR BEST RESULTS

The length of time spray material
stays on the foliage depends upon
many factors. chief among which is
the weather. Another factor Is the
time of year, as this is related to the
growth the tree Is making. For in
stance, during the spring, when the
leaves are rapidly enlarging, spray
material will not cover the surface
for any great length Of time, in fact,
even day may make considerable
difference. whereas in late summer
there is less new growth and the
leaves are not expanding. so the spray
material may remain a longer time
without losing its controlling power.
The ideal time to spray is before
rain rather than after. During wet
weather fruit tree diseases are spread
from leaf to leaf, leaf to fruit and tree
to tree. AS rule, the spray will dry
and stick to the foliage in an hours
time, or even less. so that spraying up
to within a short time of rain is
effective.
There Is no objection whatever to
spraying as late in the day as the
orchardist can see to do the work thor
oughly. The main thing is to get every
leaf, twig and branch covered with
the spray material. and 1t may actual
ly be that there will be less burning
at this time than near noon, when the
sun Is very hot. OF course, 1t is
very common practice TO dust very
late or very early in the day, or some
times during the night. This is done
In order to avoid wind. In regard to
wind. even spraying is simpr1fied
somewhat by absence of wind. The
mist-like material leaving the nozzles
will settle gradually and reach all Of
the leaf surface evenly and not be
blown against the outer surface only.

CHICAGO GRAIN PRICES.

CHICAGO, December 5.-Active
buying on the part of houses with
Eastern connections carried wheat
prices upward today after a wavering
start offerings were light early,
and the fact that Liverpool and
Buenos Aires quotations showed
strength was helpful toward the lift
ing of values here Bullish crop ad-
vices from Argentina counted also as
something of a factor. The opening.
which ranged from Il decline to !.
gain, with May f.59&4 to 1904, and
July 141$4 TO 1.4@, was followed by.
a slight general sag, and then by a.
rise all around to well above yester-
days finish.
Unfavorable weather conditions in
Argentina, as we'll as a blizzard in
the domestic corn belt. gave indie
pendent strength to corn here and to
oats. After opening unchanged to "a

market receded a little and then
scored material gains.
Oats started at Il to "a higher
May o91a to 599s and later showed a.

Provisions were influenced by grain
strength, lower hog prices being vir-
