Control Cutworms
With Poison Bait
l. ? i *
Bran Mixture Is Suggested
- for Use on the Early
Spring Crops.
By O. H. Drannon, Extension Entomologist,
North Carolina 8tate College,
s .. WNU Service.
The use of a poisoned bran mixture
to kill cutworms and prevent their
damaging early vegetable crops Is es
pecially recommended.
Early In the spring, when the worms
first get busy, the young plants- are
particularly susceptible tf> damuge.
Growers should wateh their plants
closely and .apply the poisonous bait
at the first sign of cutworms.
In experiments, best results have
been obtained frop*H? mlxnjre of one
pound of parls green itrniO pounds of
bran. SQdluui fluoride will also give
good results, but lead arsenate and
calcium arsenate should be avoided.
The poisoned bait should never be
left where children or live stock can
get at It.
About four pounds of bran-parls
green bait should be applied to each
100 square" yards of tobacco plant bed
to control cutworms. No lumps will
come In direct contact with the tender
young plants.
Fof most other crops, the bait should
be broadcast at the rate of 15 to 2<?
pounds to the jffrtv- The bait should
he applied .a few days before the
plants come up, or on the day they
come up, at rth$ ^latest. Applications
are morft* effective'' In the evening so
that thft' bn-K will be fresh wheu the
worms go to work. N^ew" applications
should be made after heavy rains.
The bran and poison should be well
mixed while dry, then moistened with
Just enough water to dampen but not
wet It. The mixed bait should not form
large lumps or be sticky and mushy.
Test Proves Old Style
Corn Ears Out of Date
The model ear of corn of a few
years ago Is as much out of date as
the motor car of the same period, and
production methods are undergoing
changes which Increase the efficiency
of the corn farmer as much as Im
proved methods hare benefited me
chanical industries.
These facts are disclosed in a sur
vey of the records of the ten-acre corn
yield tests conducted In Nebraska dur
ing the past ten years. What Is true
of corn production Is equally true of
other branches of agriculture, P. H.
Stewurt, extension agronomist at the
University of Nebraska, says.
The corn ear now most In demand
for seed, Stewart points ou^.A* no long
er the longest ear. The emph/iala vis
placed on smooth, hard starch, 'me
dium size ears. Ten years Of experi
mentation in ten-acre tests have
proved that corn from seed of this
type shows In the best production rec
ords. ... . '5,|
The result of the experimentation
has been atMncrense In production and
a decrease In the cost per bushel.
Farmers hnve been nble to reduee
greatly the number of hours per acre
of labor required to grow corn.
Buds on Tree Differ

fruits are but the extensions of the
twig growth. Just as our hnlr and An

thousands of Instances. Buds purtilke

Land Checked New Way
Methods for estimating the area In
fields of various shapes are explained
In a new circular on "How to Calcu
late Field Areas," which has been Is
sued by the University of Maryland
extension service; It deals with tri
angular, rectangular and Irregularly
shaped fields and explains how to
make the necessary corrections for
fields that are sloping. The plan In
helpful to farmers who have signed
contracts to reduce their wheat pro
duction by aiding them In checking
their acreage.

? Any part Of a beef carcass may be
preserved by corning. Cut the beef
Into five or tdrf-pound pieces nnd rub

of salt jieter, one-quarter pound of
sugar or sirup and one gullon of pure
water. Allow the meat to stand In
this phkle for about two weeks. It
may then be smoked lightly to Improve
the flavor or It may he allowed to hang
some time.

Ancient Capital Has Been Center of ^Chinese Life for
Forty Centuries; Spoken Of by Marco Polo,
When He Was Kublai Khan's Advisor.

Interest In the Fur Eust, hus had a
marked locrease in population for
more than n year, owing to an Influx
of refugees. Already the 1.500,000
mark has been passed, as shown by
a recent census, and still merchants,
countrymen, dispossessed officials,
and other social groups stream to
the city's friendly walls. A bulletin
from the Washington headquarters
of the National Geographic socletv
describes the ancient cnpltal of
China.
"io- Helping, alias ancient Chi Yu
Chou, Yenchlng, Chung Tu, Khan
baligh, and Peking, influxes of pop
ulation are not new," says the bul
letin. "During many times in Its
long span of forty centuries people
have come and gone, but the city un
der one name or another has lived I
,on. No other city In China Is so !
rich In historical associations. Few :

Interest for the visitor than does

"To this city Journeyed Marco Po
lo when he met and became advisor i
to the mighty Kublal Klmn. In the 1
heart of Peiplng still stands the old '
drum tower that boomed forth the
watches of night when Messer Marco
lived in the courts of the great Tatar
ruler. Fly over the ancient capital
today and you can see the definite
outline of a portion of the crumbled
ramparts that enclosed Khanbaligh,
as the city was then called. They
lie to the north of the present walls.
"The wide streets, that form such
a contrast to the narrow twisting
alleys of most old Chinese cities, also
reflect the Influence of the Tatars*.
Today many of those streets are bei
lng paved with asp haft to do away/
at last with the deep dust or mud
and the persistent ruts tjiat have
been cut during the passing centuries
by countless camel caravans and two
wheeled 'Peking' carts.
"Pelplpg Is really a city beside a

separated from the other by massive
walls. Within the great fortified
