The caterpillars may be readily killed by spraying infested trees with dead arsenate 2 lbs. in 40 gallons, or -by destroying the tents :by hand when •the caterpillars are inside than, which is usually on cloudy days and early in the morning. Burn- ing the nests with a torch -is effective, hut it may injure the trees. Simple Insect Control The control of shoat vegetable in- sects is not a very difficult or compli- cated [natter if ,the grower will bear in mind one or two simple facts which can he quickly learner] by watching the habits of the pests -causing the da- mage. Insects, according to the type of injury they do, can be divided into two general classes; those known as biting insects, which in feeding ac- tually bite a' piece out of the plant at- tacked, and those known as sucking insects which suck the juices out of the leaves or steers without notice- ably changing their outline. For ,biting insects (caterpillars, cutworms, etc.) three ,poisons are commonly reaont- ntended, arsenate, of dead. arsenate of lime, and Paris green. Sucking insects (aphids, plant (bugs, leaf -hoppers, etc.) are customarily controlled by nico- tine sulphate, either in liquid or dust forst.' Trapnest is Best Test Trapnestimg being to the laying flock what the scale and Babcock test are to .the dairy herd, it is the only means of accurately determining the ,production of the individual hen. At the Cap Rouge Experimental Station, the hens are selected by the trapnest- ing method and the ,poor layers are ,marketed after their 'Brat year's lay- ing. Hatching eggs -are selected from high producers, and should weigh at least 24 ounces per dozen. Unthrifty chicks, and cockerels except those from the hest hens are marketed dur- ing the summer. By mid-September the pullets which are strong, vigor- ous, •healthy and active, which have a large 'head. stout 'beak, and lenge hri;ght, prominent eyes are ;kept, while the birds which are unthrifty or unhealthy, which 'have a crow head, long shallow beak or small, sunken eyes, or are off -types are, eliminated.

Hence it is most import- ant to be 'prepared for their attack at the very first of the season. Bran •bait has given the most effective control for many years, and is made ,tip with the following ingredients — Brain, 20 pounds; molasses, one quart; Paris green, one-half pound, and water. ab- out two and a half gallons. In making the haft, the dry ingredi- ents should first he thoroughly mix- ed. The molasses in then stirred into the water and added to the -bract and Paris green. Itt mixing the bait, only enough water should be added to make the material the consistency of [vet sawdust. 1t tatust not be made sloppy but should be in the condition of crumbling in the hands and slip- ping easily through the fingers. Laud that was heavily infested the year before should be treated .prior to the plants beim net out. This is done by 'broadcasting the bait at the rate ni 15.150 pounds per acre a few nights before transplanting. One application should -he sufficient but, if the cut- worms are numerals, a second should be made tw'o or three days after the first. The bait .should always be spread III the evening hast before dusk, and, if possible, a warm Still night should he chosen for the [work. Lf the attack by cutworms is unex- pected and the plants are already in the field, the bait should be applied around the base of each plant, using about one-half teaspoon in each case. Should one application not kill alt the cutworms, a second treatment should be made two or three nights later, Crop Summary Reports front correspondents indi- cate that there will be an increased acreage sown this spring to oats, bar- ley and potatoes, and a small decrease in the acreage of spring wheat. flax- seed and mixed grains. A considerable acreage of sod w•on plowed rep last fall in Western Ontario as a result of the rise in grain price.: and unsatis- factory returns front cattle -raising op- erations during .the preceding three or four years. The estimated acreage of oats for 191317 is placed at 2;4430,700 acres, an increase of 434,000 acres over 19316 and the in -tended acreage of Earley is plac- ed at 5171;0100 acres as against 51119,000 acres in the precedin4 year. If the weather had been favour- able for early seeding of spring wheat, it is likely that the acreage of that crop .would have been expanded in or- der to take advantage of present wheat :prices, but owing to the late - Next Thur, Fri.
