FARM ORCHARD
Notts and Instructions from Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations
of Oregon and Washington, Specially Suitable to Pacific Coast Conditions
Getting Rid of Cutworms.
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis Cut worms, reported to be
epidemic in the wheat fields of Eastern
Oregon and Washington, may be com
batted by many methods, one of the
most efficient of which is simply good
farm practices ; fall and winter plow
ing; cleaning up and burning trash
about the fields and in fence corners;
rotation of crops ; and thorough culti
vation.
"The adults are moths, most of
them nocturnal in habit, medium
sized, smoky gray and brownish,"
says A. L. Lovett assistant entomolo
gist at the Oregon Agricultural col
lege. As caterpillars they are sleek,
well led, ranging when lull grown
from one to nearly two inches in
length. They are variously colored,
dull yellowish, smoky gray, whitish,
greenish striped and clouded, and very
sparsely haired.
"They have three pairs of true legs
on the three segments just back of the
head, and five pairs of prolegs on seg
ments farther back. They remain
tightly curled in Bome darkened place,
under a clod or down in the soil a
short distance, throughout the day,
emerging to feed at night
"Occasionally, under peculiar condi
tions of climate, numbers or food sup
ply, they assume army habits, crawl
ing in hordes during the. day and de
vouring everything green in their
path. They are then termed army
worms. Nearly every year there is
one or more of these outbreaks, and
certain species have so frequently as
sumed this army habit as to have
gained the distinction of a definite
name, as the true army worm, the fall
army worm, the wheat head army
worm and the erratic army worm.
"Cut worms have a wide range of
food plants and few field or garden
crops are immune.
Ornamental plants frequently suffer
severely, and several species of the
worm have assumed a climbing habit.
and attacked the fruit buds and leaves
of our orchard trees. Some species
cut plants well above the top of the
soil, others just at the surface, and
some others underground on the stem
and roots.
"Some pass the winter as eggs,
some as adult moths, but the majority
hibernate in the soil as half-grown
caterpillars ready to emerge in the
spring and attact the first green shoots
that appear. Their normal habitat is
the grass lands, but where new land is
broken up they will attack the culti
vated crop. A single female will lay
as high as ZOO to 500 eggs, usually
placed in a mass on the host plant.
"Because of their frequent occur
rence and number the cut worms have
invited the attack of a variety of
enemies, both predacious and parasi
tic. All types of poultry and several
species of birds, including the robin,
cat-bird, black bird and quail include
the cut worm in their menu. Toads
shoud be given free range in the gar
den and encouraged to stay, as they
feed freely on all. these worms; spi
ders, certain ground beetles, ants.
wasps, and the ,'spined soldier bug all
prey upon the cut worms. There are
also many parasitic flies which deposit
eggs in or on the caterpillar and their
larvae feed on its internal organs.
"Fall and winter plowing will do
much to check certain species, espe
cially those which are in the egg stage
at that time. The poison baits are
really the standard remedy for the cut
worms, however. A poisoned bran
mash should be placed over the field a
few days before the crop is set or ap
pears. If the caterpillars are working
in from one side, lines of poisoned
bran mash should be strewn at right
angles to their course. For tomatoes,
cabbages and like crops a large spoon
ful may be placed about each hill after
planting.
bince the worms are now prac
tically full grown there is little that
can be done this season, but where
they are proving a menace, I would
advise that early fall plowing be done,
as wel) s winter plowing, to expose
those that are hibernating to the
weather and the birds. Then clean up
and burn all trash and weeds about the
fields and in the fence corners. If the
cut worms are very bad establish a ro
tation of crops, so that something may
be grown at once that will take thor
ough cultivation."
Cabbage and Radish Maggots.
Cabbaca and rnrliah
making trouble in every part of the
state where these crops are grown.
A L. Lovett, assistant entomologist at
me uregon Agricultural college, has
made a special study of the pest, and
advises prevention and cultural meas
ures as more effective than remedial
measures.
As the maprot is undero-mnnrl vVii'la
at work, it is hard to control. It is
advised that, as soon as the best of
the crop is harvested, all refuse tops,
roots and stumps, all wild mustard and
similar weeds about the field, be col
lected and destroyed, and the land
plowed deep. Frequent hoeing about
the plants exposes many young mag
gots and eggs to the sun. It is well,
of course, to avoid planting on infest
ed soil, and " to establish a crop rota
tion there until the maggots are
cleaned out.
Tarred felt discs of one-ply tarred
felt paper 2J inches across, slit from
one side to the center and slipped on
the plant and then pressed close to the
stem against the ground, is the most
successful way of preventing the fly
from depositing her eggs against the
plent root.
Lime slacked and diluted to a thin
cream, with three pints of it to a gal
lon of water and a tablespoon of crude
carbolic acid thoroughly stirred and
applied with a sprinkler or spray
pump will form a slight crust on the
surface of the soil about the plants
and thus protect them pretty well.
A small handful of kerosene and
sand, mixed in the proportion of a
pint of kerosene to four gallons of
sand, placed about each plant is good,
as is also air slacked lime with white
hellebore powder, mixed ten parts
lime to one of the powder, and dusted
about the plants.
Any of these must be renewed often
to be of great assistance. Crude car
bolic acid emulsion has in some cases
given fair results. A pound of whale
oil or laundry soap is dissolved in a
gallon of boiling water, and after tak
ing from the fire a pint of the acid
added. After a perfect emulsion is
made by pumping the mixture to
gether, this stock solution is diluted
with thirty parts of water for use and
applied with a pump to the roots after
the earth has been pulled back. In
ten days the application should be re
peated. In the same manner hellebore de
coction may be applied. It is made by
steeping two ounces of white helebore
powder in a quart of boiling water
half an hour and diluting with a gallon
of water.
Making Over an Old Orchard.
I have in mind an orchard of 50
trees that had for several years been
considered worthless. The fruit did
not pay a reasonable rental for the
ground occupied. The farm was
bought by a man who understood fruit
raising, and who knew that it was a
task to make anything of the neglect
ed orchard. It was much cheaper.
however, than growing a new orchard,
writes a f arm and Home expert.
He was advised by his neighbors to
dynamite every tree out by the roots
and use them for firewood ; and when
he had finished the work of pruning it
looked almost as if he had taken their
advice. At least two-thirds of the
wood had been cut away, and in some
instances the main trunk had been
removed and only a straight branch
that had grown out above the ground
remained. All blighted limbs were
removed, the cut being made as near
as possible to the trunk, and the
wound painted over.
Where a tree had become weak at
the crotch a long bolt or rod was put
through to hold it together. A few of
the trees were hollow near the ground.
These were carefully cleaned out with
a chisel, all decayed or diseased wood
removed, and the cavity filled with a
mixture of three parts sand to one
part cement, made into thin mortar.
Before this mortar was filled in the
wound was washed with a solution of
bluestone and water to kill all perms
of decay. Smaller branches that had
decayed knotholes were treated simi
larly.
Next the ground was thoroughly
plowed and harrowed, and every tree
fertilized with a liberal application of
barnyard manure. There was constant
work throughout the Bummer kiilintr
borers and spraying, for it seemed
that insects and disease had conspired
against the efforts of the owner. The
next year, however, little else than
judicious pruning was required.
The second year after the first work
was done the old orchard bore a boun
tiful crop of first-class apples, while a
few young trees set at that time were
just getting to the troublesome age.
City Mothers.
A clever club woman once asserted
that a good motto for a city hall would
be: "What is a city without city
mothers?" adding that the time would
soon come when it will no longer be
asked only of the woman, "Is she
gooa; and 01 tne man, "is he a good
citizen?" but it will be aBked of the
woman, "Is she a good citizen"? and
of the man, "Is he a good man?"
Noble Enough for Him.

When I consider what some books

lands, create new worlds of beauty,
bring down truth from heaven; I give
eternal blessings for this gift, and

"BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER"
Without good red blood a man has a weak heart and poor nerves. Thinness of
ithe blood, or anaemia, is common In young (oiks as well as old. Especially is it
I the case with those who work In lily ventilated factories or those who are shut
up indoors In winter time with a coal stove burning up the oxygen or emitting
carbonic (oxide) gas. This blood, or blood which lacks the red blood corpuscles.
In anaemic people may have been caused by lack of good fresh air breathed Into
lungs, or by poor digestion or dyspepsia. Sometimes people suffer intense
pain over the heart which is not heart disease at all, but caused by indigestion.
Whatever the cause, there's lust one remedy that you can turn to knowing
that it has given satisfaction lor over 40 years.
