Fighting the Cutworm.
Cutworms usually cut tender plants
off squarely, ust above the surface of
the soil, . during the night; but they
often strip the tender leaves from the
tops of . enlarged and toughened
plants, especially tomatoes.
in the home garden last summer,
we fought the pests to a standstill by
using paper eollara or bands, one
placed around each plant at time of
transplanting,. Bands were cut front
heavy 'Manila paper, each eight inches
in height and of sufh.eieut length to
encircle the plant, and stand two or
three inches from it. Each collar,
held together by means of a cotton
cord and slipped over a plant, was
pushed into the sail until approxi-
mately three inches of the tap pro-
jected above the surface. Soil was
leveled up evenly, both inside and out-
side the collar,
