Cutworms may sometimes play havoc with annuals in a flower-bed. 

 They will readily eat doses of a poisoned bran-mash scattered about 

 where they work, or one can usually find many of them during the day 

 by carefully stirring the soil near the plants which they attack, as they 

 work at night and hide themselves in the ground during the daytime.
