Warn Against
Early Cutworm
Plant DAMAGE

An early spring and earlier
than usual cutworm activity
leads to q warning from the
entomology department at Mich
igan State College to take early
precautions in protecting gar
dens and crops against the pests.
Warm weather has brought the
cutworms to the surface, yet
snow blanketing the ground ear
lier In the year gave protection
to the cutworms.
All crops are liked by the cut
worm. The home gardener, the
farmer with field crops and the
orchard operator with young
trees all will find types of the
chewing pest ready to create
damage.
In the garden the remedy is to
broadcast poison bran bait, pre-
pared and applied rs recon-
mended.
But what does one do when
the tree climbing cutworm goes
into action? According to Ray
Hutson, head of the entomology
department, the best practice for
protection Of young trees which
can't live If they lose their few
young buds, is to place tangle-
<~4< h~~r;nr~ orov,~l <hn hork
This tanglefoot must be ap-
piled correctly in order to pro-
tect the tender bark. II the bark
IL damaged the tree may die. d.
rections are contained in the
Michigan State College Spraying
Calendar, Circular. 154. Grape
vines can be protected, also with
tanglefoot.

High Price for. Lamb
Indicates Better Care

Current prices for both lambs
and wool indicate every Michi-.
gan sheep producer should aim
at maximum production Of high
quality lambs. One Of the factors
causing q large number Of thin
underweight lambs, which sell 1t
q discount, Il the presence Of lice
and ticks which concentrate on
the young lambs after more ma
ture animals In the flock are
sold.
All focks where either ticks
or lice are present or suspected
should be thoroughly dipped
during the month Of May or
sometime between 4and 8 weeks
after shearing. When community
dipping watts are not available,
arrangements should be made to
have a portable dipping vat 70
perform this service, suggests g.
A. Brown, head Of the animal
husbandy department ut Michi-
gan State College.
Another cause Of heavy NOR
tality losses In lambs and the
cause Of many lightweight lambs
Is the presense Of either stomach
or intestinal parasites. The en-
tire flock, including ewes and
lambs, should be drenched when
they 60 to pasture and every
four weeks during the grazing
season. County agricultural
agents can supply directions for
both drenching and dipping.
Another livestock problem
evident to Professor Brown IL the
frequent lack Of satisfactory pas
ture during .mid-summer. He
calls this one Of the limiting fac
tors in livestock production In
many sections Of the state. The
mature, dried-up grass pasture
30 common In July and August
offers little except scenery to
livestock.

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.


Lipperty-Lipperty-Lip scampered
Peter Rabbit behind the tumbled-
down stone wall along one side OF
the Old Orchard. 1t was very early
in the morning. In fact, jolly bright
Mr.. Sun had just kicked his bed
clothes off for his daily climb up
in the blue, blue sky. 1t was moth
ing unusual for Peter to see jolly
Mr.. Sun get up in the morning. In
fact, it would be more unusual for
Peter not to see him, for you know
Peter is a great hand to stay out
all night and not go back to his
home in the dear Old Brier Patch
until the hour when most folks
are just getting out of bed.
Peter had been out all night this
time, but he wasn't sleepy, not the
least, teeny, weeny bit. You see
sweet Mistress Spring had arrived
and there was so much going on
everywhere, and Peter was so afraid
that he would miss something, that
he wouldn't have slept at all if
he could have helped it. 1t was to
see if there were any new arrivals
since the day before that brought
Peter over to the Old orchard so
early this morning.
Birds are funny creatures" said
Peter as he hoped over a low place
in the old stone wall and was fairly
in the Old Orchard.
Tut, tut, tut, tut. TUT" cried
a sharp, scolding voice. Tut, tut,
tut, tut. tut! You don't know what
you're talking about, Peter Rabbit.
They are not funny creatures at all.
They are the most sensible folks
in all the wide world"
Peter cut a long hop short right
in the middle to sit up with shining
eyes. oh, Jenny Wren, I'm so
glad to see you! When did you
arrive?" he cried.
'Mr. Wren and I have just ar
rived and, thank goodness, we are
here at last" replied Jenny Wren,
fussing about as only she can in a
branch just above Peter. Il never
was more thankful in my life to
see a place than I am just this
minute to see the Old orchard once
more. 1t seems ages and ages since
we left it,
well, if you are so fond of it,
what did you leave it for?" de-
manded Peter. 1T is just as !
said before, you birds are funny
creatures. You never stay put: at
least a lot of you don't. Sammy
Jay and Tommy Tit the Chickadee,
and Drummer the Woodpecker. and
a few others have a little sense:
they don't go off on long, foolish
journeys. But the rest of YOU"
Tut, tut, tut, tut, tut inter-
rupted Jenny Wren. You don't
know what you're talking about,
and no one sounds so silly as one
who tries to talk about something
they know nothing about"
Peter chuckled. He dearly loves
to tease Jenny Wren, and he meant
to tease her a little now.
