cabbages will be visited by the ap-
bage worm, the butterflies laying the
eggs which are responsible for the

also attacked by the worm. Whoever

SpOilage in Canned Goods

Take no chances with canned food
that looks the least bit doubtful, is
the advice of Martha Mae Hunter,
nutrition specialist for the Montana
State college extension service. Tins
containing food, according to Miss
Hunter should have ends that curve
slightly inward. If the ends bulge
out or snap back when pressed the
food is spoiled. All seams should be
tight and clean, with no trace of leaks.
Metal covers on glass jars should
be firm and fiat or curved slightly in
ward. There should be no sign of
leakage around the rubber or else
where. The contents should appear
sound, normal in color, and the liquid
free from unusual c~loudiness.

Onion MaggOt

Perhaps the worst pest of the onion
Is the onion maggot. The maggot is
the larval stage of a small grayish
fly which looks like a small house
fly. The maggot finds the bull of the
onion as good place to room and board
and destroys the value of the onion.
Often the whole onion is destroyed
The best remedy for the onion mag
got according to the United States
department of agriculture is to kill
the flies with poison bait. This is
prepared by using one level teaspoon.

Blister Beetle

The blister beetle is an insect that
often does considerable damage to
garden crops, particularly, peas, beans,
potatoes and beets. The insect COM
monty known as the old-fashioned po-
tato bug is a familiar example of this
group. They vary. greatly in color,
some gray or black other striped and
still others with spots. Their bodies
are rather long and slender and from
a quarter to a half inch in length.
They frequently travel in considerable
numbers and do much damage.
Spraying with a~rsenate of lead is the
surest and best means of control.
Sometimes, when the area to be COW
cred is not too great, the beetles may
be knocked off into a pail containing
a little water and kerosene. Hand
picking is also effective but in doing
this gloves should be worn as the
beetles are likely to blister the skin.

Pale Western CutwOrm

TIE pale western cutworm is some.
what similar in appearance and ha.
bits except that it has no distinct
body markings, being a greenish,
CLASSY gray with two dark lines on
the head. This trouble maker works
under the ground and cuts plants off
an inch or two below the surface.
The fact that he does not come to the
surface makes poison bran ineffective.
The only recommendation that can be
given in pale western cutwOrm con-
troll is to leave the soil that is to be
planted following year, undisturbed be-
tween July Is and September IS. This
is the period when the eggs are layed
and a slightly hardened surface soil
is unattractive to the cutworm moth
which lays the eggs.

Aphids or Plant Lice

Aphids or plant lice come in a

many crops. They are familiar to
all as the small, red, green, black or
other colored soft bodied insects that
congregate in patches on the under
side of the leaves. They injure the
plants by sucking the juices causing
leaves to curl up and become distorr-
ed. Spraying with a solution of nico-
tine sulphate or busting with nico-
tine dust is usually effective in con-
troll. Full directions for making and
applying will be found on the nico-
tine sulphate packages which may be
obtained at drug stores and garden

The cause of plant loss, one the army

gray line. They will usually be found
curled up about an inch beneath the

They are commonly about an inch in
length. Their method Of damaging
plants is the most ready means of
identification, since they cut young
plants off just about at the surface
