Accordingly, advice designed to show orchardists and farmers how best to cope with the invader has been wired and mailed out by the entomology department of the college. Thee recommendations for battling th worms advise farmers to place fluffy cotton about th trunks of both old and young trees; in addition, in the case of young trees farm ers have been advised to scatter poisoned bait about the foot of the trees. This bait can be made on the farm by mixing SO parts cf bran with one part of Paris green, adding to this a Uttle water, molasses and ground-up orange peel. The latter ts used as an appetiser, as it is particularly palatable to the worms. The cut worms, according to Frof.

Fettit. head of th department of entomology at th college, work only at night, when they climb the trees and cut oft the buds. During th the worms hid in th soil at th roota of the trees. The worms ar particularly bad on sod land and in case of orchards planted on this sort of land orchardlsts have been admonished to exercise particular care. The present epidemic of cut worms is the third which has affected the state in as many years.
