SENIOR, Clerk CONTROL CUTWORMS EARLY IN SPRING Cutworms are usually active and feeding before most crops are even in the ground, Hence, says Alan G. Dustan, Division of Entomology, Dominion Department of Agriculture it is important to be prepared for their attacks at the first of the sea son. Bran bait has given effective control for many years, it is made up of bran, 20 lb., Paris-green one- half lb., molasses, one quart and water, about 21s gallons. In making the bait, the dry in gredients should first be thoroughly mixed. The molasses is stirred in to the water and added to the bran and Paris green. In mixing, add only enough water to make the material the consistency of sawdust. It should not be made sloppy but so that it will crumble in the hands and slip through the fingers easily. Land that was heavily infested in the former year should be treated be fore the plants are set out. This is done by broadcasting the bait at the rate of 15 to 20 lbs. per acre a few nights before transplanting. One application should be sufficient, but' if the cutworms are numerous a sec-1 ond application should be made two or three days after the first. Always spread bait in the evenings just be fore dusk, and, if .possible, choose a warm, still night for the work. If the attack is unexpected and the plants are' already in the field, the bait should be applied around the base of each plant using about i teaspoonful for each. Should one application not kill all the cutworms a second treatment should be made two or three nights later.
