Cutworms in Gardens
Prepared by the United Slates l)ei?arim?-m
of A?i li-ullure.)
Seedling tomatoes, cahhage, lettuce
and melons are frequently cut off near
the ground by cutworms, especially in
the spring and early summer, says
the United States Department of Agri
culture. A cutworm is the young or
caterpillar of a night-flying moth.
The moth lays its egi:s upon plants or
other objects and in some cases di
rectly upon the ground and the eggs
hatch into cutworms.
The commoner cutworms are stout,
soft-bodied, smooth or nearly smooth,
and cylindrical, varying in color from
gray to brown or nearly black and
sometimes spotted or marked with
stripes. Cutworms ordinarily work ai
night, but often feed on dark, cloudy
'lays. Many kinds of cutworms go
through the winter in the soil and
begin work again early in the spring.
Not only vegetable crops are attacked,
but also a wide variety of ornamental
plants and field crops may be severely
damaged.
Cutworms may be gotten rid of
readily by using a poisoned-bran bait
made up of one peck (or five pounds)
of dry bran, one-fourth pound white
arsenic or paris green, one pint sirup
or molasses and three or four quarts
of water.
Fighting Quack Grass
Most Wearisome Task
Fighting quack gruss is about as
mean a Job as uny that exists on
American farms. Experience has
proved that it is almost impossible
to eradicate the grass completely,
once it gets a start and extends its
riHitstoeks in the fields, and that or
binary cultivation Is Just about as
bad as leaving the weed alone.
The Ideal weather for killing quack
grass Is hot days and cool nights, with
just enough moisture In the soil to
keep the grass growing. In mldsum

comes pod bound and the plants are In

are pulled and ready for transplanting
they should be set in holds that have
not been in sweet potatoes for live
to seven years. Unless all these steps
are followed, one or several of the
common diseases may be present.
Aphids Bip Limiting
Factors in Production
Aphids in the garden are limiting
factors in the produetion of good vege
tables. They are on the radishes, lur
nips, spinaeh. and other plants. The
adults are about one-sixteenth inch
long and vary in color from green lo
red to black to mottled. The color
depends on which plant they are feed

plant lice. Do not wait till the plants
are damaged beyond repair to look

nicotine dust containing about 7 per

Kill Perennial Plants
During Summer Season
July and August are the best
months to kill perennial plants. There
is no set day that will give better re
sults than another.
The reason that this season ot the
year is most effective in killing plants
is because the plant has exhausted
its supply of food from its roots and
in these late summer months i? manu
facturing food on which to live the
following winter. If anything hap

which is made in leaves and is trans

a hard time living over the next win

as well as trees

This Doctor's Prescription
Will Keep Your Family Healthy
Dr. Hitchcock learned during his 63
/ears' practico as a family doctor that 90%
of all sickness starts with stomach and
bowel trouble. He advised against the use
of drastic purgatives which cause chronic
constipation.
When any of hfs patients were consti
pated, showed signs of losing their appetite,
or complained of indigestion, dizziness,
headache, bilion&ness, or upset stomach, he
gave them his prescription known as Hitch
cock's Laxative Powder, and the trouble
was soon removed. He found it safe for
women and ?hildren; ideal for old folks,
as well as for the most robust men.
Dr. Hitchcock's Laxative Powder quickly
relieves constipation and makes the stom
ach and bowels pure and clean, by remov
ing all of the poisonous fermenting residue
of the accumulated undigested food that
causes these troubles. Get a large yellow
tin box for 25c at any drug store.
