Several Pennsylvania farmers have recently written to State Zoologist Surfaco, llarrisburg, stating that cut worms are unu sually bad this year and beseech ing him for a recommendation of a reliable remedy. A Dauphin couuty farmer writes that a neighbor got two quarts of cut worms from around his sweet potato vines and wants to know how to destroy them. In his reply Prof. Surface said: ' Evidence comes from differ ent parts of the State that these pests are unusually numerous and destructive this year. The proper course would have been to have destroyed them by plowing the ground earJy in the fall and cultivating it by deep harrowing with a spriug-toothed harrow until it was so frozen as to pre vent further cultivation. Then commence cultivation as early as possible in the spring. The fall plowing and late and early culti vation helps to destroy these pests as well as wireworms root lice, ants, webworras and other pests which are liable to attack crops following freshly plowed sod. "However, the fact remains that the cutworms are now pres ent in unusually destructive num bers and must be treated. There is no easy method of destroying insects in the ground, but cut worms can be killed if one is will ing to go to the trouble of follow ing directions carefully. "The plan is to poison them by the use ot a sweet and poisoned bran. The method is to add one part of Paris green, by weight, to thirty or forty parts of bran, stir this together, while yet dry, and then mixing it with water ihat has been sweetened by tho addition of strong or coarse mo lasses. The older and stronger the molasses, to give it odor, the the better it will be. The bran be moistened with this sweetened water until it is made into a damp mass, just wet enough to stay in little heaps. A very small pinch of this placed at the base of each garden plant to protect it will be effectual The cut worms will eat it in preference to the plant. To protect corn it is advisable to drop a pinch in the corn row each step or two across the field, so that the cutworm will find this and eat it and let the corn remain I would advise even putting it out before the corn appears above the ground. This will be better, thus to kill the worms early, than to let them remain untreated un tiljifter the corn is once cut off. It is much better to put out the poison bran in the evening while it is damp, or on a damp day, so that it will not be dry when these pests come lortb at night to seek their tood, It will be found by them just about as readily if it is slightly covered with earth and for this reason, if it should be come necessary to protect do mestic fowls from it, one could cover it with loose earth at the time of application. "It is my opinion that it would be efficient to drop the poison bran in the rows of corn in the field and cover it lightly with loose earth by means of a cultiva tor drawn by a horse. Little pinches of the bran could be dropped as rapidly as a man would walk along and drop corn,- which would be nearly as fast as a horse could walk, and this trouble and expense of protecting the crop by this means would not be great in comparison with the value of the crop, which might not otherwise be obtained. "In gardens and Mother small plots it is a good plan to lay shin gles, small boards or flat stones over the poison, when it Is put out This will not only protect fowls and birds, which would oth erwise take it, but will furnish biding places for cu twor ms where they will find concealment such as they like, and at the same time will find the fatal bait. "Trees, vines and bushes will be protected from the climbing cut worms by putting a little poisoned bran at the bse of each In the evening. Rain should not wash it before the worms shall find it If this should occur re new the application." Mrs. Martin W. Hixson, of Everett, and daughter Miss Ida, of Pittsburg, former residents af this county, tarried a short while in Brush Creek Valley Fn dry of last week. Birthday Surprise.
