by putting a large fat stone, or

When daylight comes the
worms hide in the first handy
place and you can turn over the
rock or shingle and kill the
worms you find there quite
hsndily.
But If you really have lot of
them, the only thing 10 do is
10 buy or make yourself a poison
bait. There are lots of different
mixtures that can be used. but
here is an easy one: one quart

Remember this bait is deadly

Your Plants
BY ISABEL FUCKER
Garden Editor, Detroit Times

HAVE YOU a little cutworm
in your garden? The answer is
yes, because practically all of
us know from the creatures
work that he is decidedly among
those present.
Everybody knows what cut
worms look like and the way
they curl up when you dig or
touch them. Their pet diet is
young plants, the younger the
better.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-07-14

The reason we have so many
cutworms in home gardens is
because the moths lay their eggs
on the tall weeds or grasses that
we leave in odd corners and the
worms breed naturally in the
grass nearby. We could do a
lot toward eliminating them by
keeping those corners weeded.
Otherwise, our best bet is to
protect the young plants when
we set them out. Some people
use stiff paper collars. pressed
into the earth about an inch and
sticking out of it about three
inches.
Others take both top and
bottom out OF tomato soup cans
and place these over the young
plants. pressing them into the
ground. The only trouble is
there happens to be a climbing
form of cutworm that can get
over these obstacles-and II you
have that form, your protection
will do little GOOD.

male flowers are greenish blooms,
either solitary or in pairs. These
blossoms must depend up God
