I a bushel of dry bran, add 1 i| pound of white arsenic or Pari.* ami mix it thoroughly iiuo mush with <S gallons of water in which has been stirred half a gallon ' of sorghum or other cheap molasses. p (A res i lie and Paris green are deadly f poisonous. Handle thom with great care.) This amount will be .sufficient for the treatment of about 4 or 5 v acres of cultivated crops. After the mash has stood for several hours, scatter it, in lumps about the size of a marble, over the fields where tin f injury is beginnng to appear an., about the bases of the p'an.s set out. Apply late in the day,- so as to plac< the poison about the plants before night, which is the time when the cut worms are active. Apply a second time, if necessary. Keep children, I livestock, :ui<l chickens away Iron: this bait. What to Do WIuv; Cutworms Travel Like Army Worms, When cut worms occur in uiusv.al abundance, which ha} pens locally, and souielinu? generally, they exhaust their food supply and migrate to other fields. This they do literally in armies, assuming what is c .11 -d the army worm habit. At such tinu^it is necessary to treat them tlm Same as army worms. While the methods which have advised been ; <1li vised are valuable in such cases, they B may he too slow to destroy all the B cutworms, and other methods must i*?o employed. These include tieac'iB ing, ditching', the plowing of deep B furrows in advance of the Lavcling I cutworms to trap them, and the (hag B ping of 1 )gs or brush through the B In rows. If the trenches can bj Til I B e 1 with water, the addition of a B small quantity cf keivscmc so as t B form a tliin scum on the surface, wil I pro $ fatal to. the cutwoims. In ex tjerne cases barriers of fence hoard.B are erected and the tops smared with B tar or other sticky substances to stop || the cutworms a.s they attempt tc crawl over. 1 Spraying With Arsenical*. In extremely severe attacks by cut 1 worms on choice plants there is sonic a times no opportunity to prepare the poisoned bait. In such cases an arsenate of lead spray will aniwei cjuite as well. In one instance a part ley field was sprayed with 4 pounds | of arsenate of lead to SfXrgallons oj water; this killed all the cutworms k whereas if they had been left alone r for a day or two longer the fielc PH.jgWV would have been destroyed The result was a porfcct stand?th< I I best ever made by the grower. Ii this ease five applications were nec essary. C'ultui^al Methods and Crop Rotation Clean cultural methods arc! ere rotation are advisable, as are als< fall plowing and disking, to proven recurrences of cutworm attacks. WASHINGTON HOPES FOR U-BOAT SOLUTION Naval Board Plan |s Not Given Out for Many Good Reasons. Washington, May 5.?Officialdom took heart tonight at the prospects that a solution of the German u-boat ravages may be at hand. While without information as to the plan W. L. Saunde* 3, of the con-, suiting board, claims has been evolved, authorities - said optimistically that the submarine menace* will be u 11 imulel ^overcome. Censorship provisions prevent revelation of any details of Saunders' plan. Saunders and other colleagues, however, have been experimenting with many means of combating Germany's inroads on commerce, and it may well be, some authorities say, that the solution is already at hand.
