CUTWORMS

OF the various pests which prevent
the gardeners program from following
a smooth course, the cutworm is fully
as exaSperating as any other because
one does not know just where the insect
enemy will strike. Just as the young
transplants have become nicely re-
established, the cutwprms usually
launch their attack, actually cutting
off young plants near the base and thus
destroying them.
According to Department of Agricul-
ture Leafiet No. 2, "Cutworms in the
Garden" there are several kinds of
cutwormS, some Of which overwinter
in the soil and are ready, therefore, for
the early set plants. Cut worms feed
at night ordinarily but may also work
on dull, cloudy days. After the plants
are cut, one may often find the worms
by simply digging around in the soil
near the roots but a more consistent
measure is to place poisoned bran bait
near the base of the plants. The formula
for the bait is 5 pounds bran, 4 ounces
white arsenic or Paris green, l pint of
molasSeS or Sirup, and enough water to
make crumbly mass. Care must be
exercised to keep this material from
birds and animals, as it is very poison
Gus. 1t is well to spread the bait in
late evening that 1t may be fresh and
attractive to the cutWormS.

THE YELLOW
TRANSPARENT APPLE

Although stored apples are still in
the markets, their attraction has long
since Waned along with flavor, aroma
and sweetness About the first of the
new crop is the Yellow Transparent,
now beginning to ripen locally and for
a week or two already in the market.
The Yellow Transparent is not high
quality apple. but is good for culinary
purposes because of its tart, brisk flavor.
The fruit is tender and bruises easily
when handled carelesSly, but this is lit
tie handicap in the home garden. If
allowed to become fully ripe, the apples
become rather soft and lose favor rap
idly and are, therefore. generally used
in a near-rioe condition rather than
fully mature.
The Yellow Transparent Is one of a
multitude of Russian apples imported
into the United States, about rs years
ago, in order to secure hardy apples
for the colder areas of this country.
Unfortunately hardness was not &C
companied by quality and most of the
immigrant apples fell by the wayside

main, and of these yellow Transparent
is most important. One unfortunate
characteristic limits the usefulness Of
this variety and that is susceptibility to
fire blight disease. The Yellow Trans
parent apple is almost as bad as pear
in this respect Since fire blight is one
of the unsolved problems in fruit grow
ing. susceptibility is a real handicap.
One Of the best plans is to grow the
trees, after they have reached fruiting
age, in grass sod, thus limiting the
soft, sappy growth in which fire blight
spreads very rapidly.

a result of which he said, not unkindly:

And without waiting to hear whether
his advice was acceptable to the
ditched damsel or not, he hung up the
receiver.
So Terhune had been called away
suddenly Saturday night? He had left

put a somewhat different face on the

nutrients, It was also found that these
did not move back into the roots but
instead remained in the old cane and
were removed with it. This fact showed
that there is no reason for leaving the
canes after they have fruited and, since
it is better practice to cut them out, it
is good that the results of these scien-
tific studies present no obstacle. Cut
ting out the old canes allows the sun
light to better reach the new canes and
strengthen them into sturdy, upright

A mysterious telephone message

why John Diamond should have gotten
so riled up about his doing so, when
he himself could not be reached at
Berkshire Towers to get the confirma-

managing editor could exactly fathom.
What he did know, however, was that
the owner of the Free Press had driven
down before daylight and raised hell
all over the Office. In fact, the office
was still in an uproar when he, Cropsey,
had left it at o'clock that morning,
and the only possible reason he could
