Satisfactory Means Of
Eradicating CutWOrms

If one cutworm in the garden cut
only one plant and ate that plant, the
damages would not be so very great
But the worm is not satisfied with one
plant. 1t usually follows one row and
cuts as it goes. In this way one cut
worm will do great deal of damage.
The cutworm is nocturnal in its
feeding habits. 1t usually starts to
feed late in the afternoon and con-
tinues throughout the night The
knowledge of this habit is very essen
tial when the worm is to be poisoned.
Two satisfactory control methods
are: first, place collar of cardboard
or tar paper around each plant. This
should extend to depth of two or
three inches in the soil. The second
method of control is probably the
most satisfactory. This control is the
use of poison bait. The bait should
be scattered late in the afternoon, az
feeding time, and near the plants. The
poison bait consists of wheat bran, %
pounds, paris green, one pound, and
three oranges or lemons. This mate
rial should be thoroughly mixed and
brought to consistency of thick
dough by adding low-grade molasses,
with water when necessary.

Number of Apple
Trees Declining
No Shortage of Fruit Has
Developed and Produc-
ton Increases.

of Agriculture.i

Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.1
Although the number of apple trees
In the United States has been declin-
ing since 1910, no shortage of apples
has developed and commercial prOduc-
ton Is increasing. The crop of 1926
was the largest produced in many
years. This apparent paradox is ex-
planned by an increased output per
tree and by the fact that the reduc-
ton in the number of trees has taken
place largely in scattered family or
chards and in the less favorably stu
ated commercial areas. Apple pro-
duction for the market has been in
creasing materially in some areas
through better orchard management,
better selection of varieties, and in
creased bearing capacity resulting
from an increase in the age of the
trees. -
Decrease In Trees.
For each 100 trees in the country
In 1910 there were 20 and GA re-
spectively In 1920 and 1925, according
decrease from 1910 to 1925 was about
79,OO0.OO0 out of total of 2l7.00O,0OO
trees reported In the former year. The
significance of this decline Is modified
by the fact that In the box apple
region of the Mountain and Pacific
states no less than So per cent of the
trees were not of bearing age In 1910.
By 1920, the percentage Of nonbear-
ing trees had fallen to Is, and the
same percentage is reported by the
census for 1925. It would be dis
tinctly unfavorable augury for the ap-
pie industry had paintings from 1910
to 1925 been large enough to prevent
decline in the proportion of trees
not of bearing age.
Present conditions In the apple In
dustry are in marked contrast to those
that prevailed eighteen years ago. In
1910 there were 15.OOO,OO0 trees not
of bearing age in the box apple regions
of the Mountain and Pacific states.
AS these trees cane into bearing, the
producing capacity of the region In
creased enormously. In 1920 the
region had IT'S trees of bearing age
for each 100 reported In 1910. From
1920 to 1925, however, the number de-
creased and in 1926 stood at Isl for
each 100 trees of bearing age in 1910.
Apple Tree Planting.
In recent years paintings of apple
trees have been to large extent In
the eastern apple regiob and have
been chiefly concentrated in the conf
mercial areas. Most areas of heavy
concentration of trees are now in
regions adjacent TO the larger con-
Stunning centers, although there are inn
