of water for the same purpose. Fork the clover about in the solution 

 so that every leaf and stem will be submerged and poisoned. 



Scatter tliis through the beds or fields before the cabbage is set out 

 and many cutworms will be killed by eating it. 



LIME AND PARIS GREEN. 



(Dusting process for cabbage worms.) 



Dry air-slaked lime 1 pound. 



Dry Paris green 1 ounce. 



Mix the two together thoroughly until all is one even uniform color, 

 with no spots or streaks showing more green than others. Tie in a 

 thin cheese cloth or muslin sack from which it can be sifted by shaking. 

 Or apply with a powder gun or blower. 



This may be lightly dusted over the growing plants from the time they 

 are set until two or three weeks before using, when applications should 

 cease. It is a cheap, easy, effective remedy for the common cabbage 

 worms, and it is entirely safe when used with reason. 



PARIS GREEN SPRAY. 



(Spraying process for cabbage worms.) 



Paris green 5 ounces. 



Water 50 gallons. 



Mix the Paris green first in a small quantity of water until it is all 

 thoroughly wetted. Then stir it into the entire amount of water, and 

 it is ready to use. Apply with a spray pump or sprinkler, the finer 

 the spray the better. Keep it constantly stirred. 



Note. We see no reason why arsenate of lead should not be used 

 in this treatment but so far as we know no definite experiments with it 

 have been reported. We merely suggest that if one wants to try the 

 arsenate of lead, it be used at rate of two pounds to fifty gallons of 

 water. 



OTHER REMEDIES. 



Several other simple treatments, such as the use of hot water, etc., 

 are mentioned at proper place in the preceding pages of this bulletin, 

 but do not require special mention here.
