or four weeks previous to Sept. 20, wheat, rye or grass may then be 

 sown. 



A short rotation of crops in land badly infested with wireworms 

 has been recommended; and the experience of those who have prac- 

 ticed it is, that the soil is rendered comparatively free from these 

 pests. 



Trapping by baits such as sliced potatoes, wads of green clover, 

 and corn meal dough have been tried, and it has been found that 

 the best results have been obtained by dipping a small handful of 

 clover into Paris green water, the clover being freshly cut, -and plac- 

 ing the bunches under boards in various parts of the field. They 

 should be renewed once or twice a week during early summer. 



Considering the small amount of labor involved, and the large 

 number of beetles that are destroyed in this way, many of them 

 before they have laid their eggs, this seems to be about the best 

 method thus far devised. This, however, should be coupled with 

 fall plowing three years in succession if the best results are to be 

 obtained.
