Method to Combat
Cutworms Given
Cutworms are staging a heavy
counter attack on the vegetables
and flower garden fronts accord
ing to reports filtering into the
county agent's office. The cold,
damp weather has been ideal for
cutworms and as a result many
beans, cabbages and tomato plants
have become casualties.. These in.
sects normally feed at night, cut
ting off the younger plants near
the surface of the ground and
climbing up and feeding on the
foliage of the older plants. Their
appetites are such that almost all
vegetable plants and flowers are
subject tto their attacks.
Poison bran mash is the most ef
fective defensive weapon the gar
dener can employ, and it also works
on earwigs too. The following for
mula will make enough for about
one-third of an acre: Coarse bran,
five pounds; sodium fluosilicate,
one pint; water to make a crumbly
mash two orthree quarts.
The dry ingredients are first
thoroughly mixed and the water
and molasses added. Use just
enough water so it will be wet but
still fall apart readily after being
pressed together in the hands.
This poisoned bait is broadcast
over the garden as soon as the
first cutworm' damage is noticed.
Put the bait out in the evening as
the cutworms feed at night.

wounded by a German 88 which
broke his left leg and arm and set
fire to four tank bombs which he
had in his left hip pocket. As a re
sult his leg and arm are both par

interesting. He divided it into three
sections, describing Italy, personal
experiences and an appeal to con
tinue buying bonds.

there is no place like his own
state, Oregon and Washington do
have their good points but merely
tolerates the rest of the U. S. A.
He is a mess sergeant with four
and one half years army experi
ence, all in this country. His unit
was about ready for overseas when
he was injured in a jeep accident
in Tennessee, from wh'ch he suf
fered a skull injury, as well as a
broken jaw and the loss of some
teeth. He expects a medical dis
charge shortly and after visiting
his mother in San Diego will go on
to New York where he will do ra
dio work, n which the young negro
was engaged when he entered the
service. He should do well in his
work. He is a born entertainer, a
trained musician and a college
graduate.

"PPM electricity is the best
bargain in my household budget"
...says Mrs. Homer II. Hayes,
Housewife of Joseph, Oregon
"We've used PP&L electric service, first on our
farm and now in our home in town for nearly
twenty years ever since we moved from our
Imnaha cattle ranch back to the Wallowa Valley.
"I'll never forget how pleasantly surprised I was
when we bought our first electric range and dis
covered how little it cost to cook with electricity.
Since then we've added almost every electrical
convenience you can use in a home . . . and yet our
electric bill is just about the smallest item of
household expense.
"One of the things I like best about PP&L is the
extra service they give. For instance, when we
bought the range, a PP&L representative came out
to show me how to get the most out of it for the
least cost. And from time to time they've gone over
my electric bills to make sure I'm getting my
money's worth for the few pennies a day I spend
for electric service.
"PP&L electricity it to cheap, it't the best bar
gain in my household budget."
Mm. Homer H. Hayes ii the daughter of a Wallow
County pioneer, Daniel W. Warnock, who claimed one of
the valley's first homesteads nearly 70 years ago. After
her marriage to Mr. Hayes, she went with her husband t
a remote section of the Snake River Canyon to establish
a cattle ranch.
Lumber for the Hayes home was made into a raft at
Pittsburgh Landing and floated 20 miles down the swift
waters of the Snake to reach the site of their ranch home.
Travel in and out of the Snake River Canyon was a two
day trip by horseback, and Mr. and Mrs. Hayes with their
two young sons made excursions about twice a year into
the Wallowa Valley for supplies.
Nearly twenty years ago Mr. and Mrs. Hayes sold their
Snake River holdings and purchased a 200-acre farm near
Joseph, Oregon. This farm, well-electrified and lonj
served by PP&L lines, is now operated by Mr. and Mrs,
Hayes' son, Kirk. The other son, Corporal Max Hayes, i
serving in the Army.
Mrs. Hayes has her war job, too. When the Wallowa
Valley ranchers needed someone to receive livestock at
their Joseph shipping point, Mis. Hayes, who once rod
for cattle on the Imnaha ranch, volunteered for the job.
And now each Friday finds her at the Joseph stockyards,
supervising the weighing in of cattle and other livestock
shipped from the Valley to the outside markets.
