CUTWORlIS FEED AT NIGHT

Cutworms take unfair advantage
of the home garden and carry on
their depredations at night, and
sometimes on dark, cloudy days. In
vestigation of the soil close to in
jured plants, however, will often
disclose the guilty worms hiding in
small burrows. 1t is easy to get rid
of them by poisoned bait, and the
U. S. Department of Agriculture rec
ommends this one: Mix 5 pounds of
dry bran and IA pound of Paris
green, stirring very thoroughly. Mix
1 pint of strip or molasses with 8
or 4 quarts of water, and add this
solution to the bran and poison,
stirring the whole mixture constant
ly and slowly. Add only enough wa
ter to make a crumbly mash. Put
the bait around late in the evening
so that it will not dry too much be-
fore the worms come to feed. 1t can
be broadcast or sown by hand along
the rows or about the base of the
plants. Many kinds of cut worms
overwinter in the soil and begin to
work early in the spring; therefore
early treatments before the crops
are planted, or before they come up,
will be of great advantage in the
prevention of crop damage by these
pests.

David's carefully kept records
show that with this borrowed cap
ital he purchased the pure-bred Jer-
sey, Pretty Oxford Bertha 7O1511
Bertha calved February 16, 1928
The young owner cared for Bertha
and her calf in accordance with
knowledge gained in vocational ag-
riculture classes. During 34S days
she produced 1883 lbs. of butterfat
and 7,164 lbs. of milk which David
sold to whole milk plant for
$21S.SO. Bertha's bull calf, sold at
auction for $145, raised the amount
of David's gross profits to $363.SO.
During the S4S-day period the
records show the entire cost of
Bertha's feed was $1O2.S6, insurance
$40, and interest SO; total expenses
$121.86. This left David a net profit
of $241.S6 made through his own
industry in less than a years time
while he attended school.
