THE SPOTTED CUTWORM
This Itsect Was Mistaken for the-
Army
heArmy Worm.
Description and Life History—Poison-
ed Bait Recommended -- Keep
Live Stock Out df the Field -,Salt
the Fleas—>`;i'ewer Cattle Shipped.
(Contributed by Ontario Department of
Agriculture, Toronto,)
In July last reports appeared in
the press of an outbreak of Army
Worms in two or three counties of
the Province, and that the insects
were beginning to do damage to some
of the field crops. These sections
were visited by representatives of the
Dominion. and Provincial. Entomo-
logical departments, and It was dis-
covered that the insect was not the
Army Worm but a common cut -worm
known as the Spotted Cut -worm.
In order that this pest may be
recognized and. controlled should it
appear nest season, the following in-
formation is given:
Life History.
The spotted cut -worm winters over
in the ground as a small brown or
blackish larva from 14 to about'4,
of •an inch in length,. In May and
early June this cut -worm attacks the
crops sown in the field where it win-
tered. In June it is full grown and
pupates in the soil. Towards the end
of the month the moths appear and
lay the eggs for the brood which is
now causing trouble. In about two
weeks or about the 10th of August
nearly all the larvae of this brood
will be full grown and will have ceas-
ed feeding. They will then pupate• in
the ground and the moths will emerge
in September and will lay their eggs
throughout any weedy places. From
these eggs will come the overwinter-
lug larvae referred to above.
Description. •
The moths are a dull brown color
with a wing expanse of about an
inch and a quarter. They fly around
oily at night or late in the evening.
The full grown cut -worms or larvae
are about 1> inches long, stout,
smooth and of a brownish or often
blackish color with several black
spots on the .back, most conspicuous
towards the rear end_ • There is a
whitish or light colored line running
along each side just below the brown
color of the back. The head is brown.
This insect can readily be brought
under control by the use of poison. •
How to Control the Attack.
In the evening about sunset . scat-
ter 'thinly, as if sowing seed grain;
the following poison bait wherever.
the cut -worms are present, and also
along the margin of crops nearly,
that are to be protected:
Bran, 25 lbs.
Paris green (or white arsenic), 1 ib.
Molasses, i, gal.
Lemons or oranges, 2 fruits.
Water, about 2 gals.
Mix the bran and the poison very
thororighiy in a tub or any large
receptacle, using either the hands or
a dung fork for the purpose. Pour
the molasses into the water, run the
lemons or orange through a meat
chopper, and throw both the juice
and the pulp into the water. Then
stir this thoroughly. 'Next pour the
Liquid over the poison bran and mix.
so thoroughly that it will fall through
the fingers readily. The above amount
is sufficient for one acre,
Keep Live Stock Out of Reach.
Take precautions that no stock
gits access to the `mixture before it
is applied, and even after applying
it is wise to keep the stock out of
the field for four or five days, though
there is no much danger of their be-
ing poisoned if the above directions
are followed carefully.—L. Caesar,
O. A. College, Guelph.

The best means of controlling fleas
in most instances is very simple.
Fleas usually originate in the base-
ment of the house, or in some covered
place such as Woodsheds and stables,
to which hogs, dogs, or other such
animals have access. The remedy is
to give the basement, shed, or other
breeding place a thorough cleaning,
burn the litter, and then sprinkle the
floor or ground in the building or
-shed' with common salt. The salt
should be sprinkled thickly enough
'almost to cover the ground and
should then -be wet down with water.
Lt„ should not be wet sufficiently to
cause it to run, however. If there
are about the place any houses, cribs,.
or the like built on piles so that
hogs and other animals can go under
them, salt should be applied there.
Generally speaking, it is' fairly easy
to determine' where the. fleas .orig-
inate, and it is usually such a place
as cah be reached by the salt, treat
went. It may be necessary to repeat
the ''operation twp or three times at
about three-day -intervals.
Fewer Cattle Shipped. '
A total of 21,530': head of cattle
were shipped. from the port of Mont-
real daring the r past season of navi-
gation, as compared. with 31,217
head for the season, 1921, a decrease
of 9,687 head. Of the above total
shipped in 1922 there were 7,165
head from the United States, so that
the total number of Canadian cattle
that went forward to the British
markets from this point was only
13,915 head. ' There was no export
business, done in sheep during the,
past . season, while during the pre -
needing year shipments amounted to
4,064 head.
It is surprising how far the table
scraps and scattered grain will go to-
ward maintaining the hens,
350174 Thereis little excuse for any one
tieing •a grade or scrub bull :when it
,is so easy to secure a pure-bred.

What One Steer Takes From the
Land Some Don't Like to
Believe It—These Losses Must Be
Replaced—Meat Trade Balks at
Heavy 'Weig its,
(Contributed by Ontario iaeparfinent 6f
Agriculture, Toronto.)
With the exception of nitrogen otlr
agricultural investigators have failed
to find any means by which they
could add to nature's supply of plant
food in the soil except by transfer
of minerals rich in fertilizing proper-
ties from rich deposits to the cui-
•tivated areas. Cultivated lands will
gradually lose their mineral elements,
particularly phosphorous and potash,
through crop production. The return
of all manure made from the crops,
produced delays the day of exhaus-
tion, but exhaustion will eventually
come more quickly by some prac-
tices than others it is true, and the
man that .follows livestock farming
while not returning all to the soil
Can greatly delay the day of reduced
fertility and short crops.
What One Steer Takes Froin the
Land.
Every time a 1,000 -pound fat steer
is sent to market 15.51 pounds of
phosphorous pent oxide, 1.76 pounds
of potash, and 17.92 pounds of cal-
cium goes with him. A one hundred
Acre farm sending twenty 1,000 -
Pound steers to market each year is
sending incorporated in their bodies,
principally in the bones, 35.20 pounds
of potash, 358.40 pounds of lime,
310.20 pounds of phosphorous. If
the farm did this continuously for
one hundred years—some of our On-
tario farm lands have been farmed
that long—the amount of fertilizing
elements subtracted from the original
stock in the soil is such as to greatly
limit crop production. If the crops
from which the steers had been made
had been sold' off the land the fer-
tilizing elements or stock of plant
food in the soil would have given out
many years sooner.
Many Farmers Don't Like to Be-
lieve It.
Many of our farmers do not like to
think that the fertility of their lands
is running down, and will argue
'against their own conscience, and
finally develop a state of mind which
prevents them from returning to the
soil sufficient mineral elements to
maintain the necessary balance in
Soil fertility that insures crop yields
equal to the yields characteristic to
.virgin soils. 03i certain good farms
in southern Ontario with which I am
familiar I estimate that the mineral
fertility mining, during the . past.
seventy-five years has, under the gen-
erally accepted good management,
been approximately as follows per
acre: Phosphorous removed, 489
pounds; potassium removed, 2,491
'pounds; calcium removed, 1,059
pounds; of these quantities probably
fifty per cent. was returned in the
'manures through periodical applica-
(tions. The unreturned .'aggregate
244.5 pounds of phosphorous, 1,245.5
pounds of potassium and 529.5
pounds of calcium represents approx-
'imately what each acre of farm land
has lost. Is it any wonder, then, that
the crop 'yields have been greatly re-
duced in many of the older section
of the Province?
These Losses Must Be Replaced.
To bring the old sols back to
maximum production one of the
things we must do is to replace in
quantity to satisfy crop demands, the
potash, phosphorous and lime. These
elements are essential, and must be
present in available condition and in
quantity. The best farmed soils will
gradually lose fertility if something
is not done toward the replacing of
the mineral elements removed in
crops and sold off the farm either
as grain, beef or milk.—L. Stevenson,
Toronto.
Meat Trade Balks at Heavy 'Weights.
"The day of the heavy weight has
.passed," says E. F. Perrin of the ani-
mal husbandry divisions of the Uni-
versity of Minnesota in referring to
conditions and demands, of the •meat
trade. "Light weights are easily dis-
posed of, while heavy carcasses are
-hard to move. Overweight .lambs
have long been heavily penalized in
price when sent to market, and.,the,
dame condition prevails with 'hogs
and cattle. It does not pay any meat
producer to market more weight'than
is- necessar•.y., in getting his stock in
fairly well . fatt:ened ; cc iditon. ' Only
about 15 per cent. of the market de-
mand is for steers weighing more
than 1,300 pounds. And to sell well
these must begood to .choice beeves
offered during the holiday:. season.
Yearlings ?weighing 900 to 1,100.
pounds-,` often termed baby beef, are
the desiredkind, and more recently
050 to 800 pound weights .are in
strong demand.
"A three dollar spread between
P
Prices for butcher hogs and smooth
heavy sows frequently prevailed on
•the:South St. Paul 'market last sum -
,
No one can escape the 'verdict
that lard is unwanted in these days
of common use of vegetable oils and
compounds.
"Of course a reasonable degree of
finish is necessary to snake any car-
cass of meat tender; and juicy. Thin
animals, no matter how well bred,
make unpalatable..tough meat, But
it is a mistake to market nowadays
an overfat or heavy meat animal, be-
cause the consuming' public does not
want that kind of goods."
