Cutworms. 



If noticed while preparing the ground for the crop, finish prepara- 

 tion, then cut some clover and sprinkle it heavily with a stomach 

 poison (No. lo), and scatter the clover over the ground for the cut- 

 worms to feed on. If they appear after the cabbages are set, make 

 a mash of 60 pounds of bran or middlings, i pound of Paris green, 

 water to make a dough and molasses enough to sweeten. Place a 

 little of this at the base of each plant, and keep fowls away. The 

 cutworms will eat the sweet, poisoned mash in preference to the 

 plants. 



Root Maggot. 



Apply disks of tarred paper to the stems of the plants when set- 

 ting them. Powdered hellebore placed at the base of each plant 

 about once a week is often a successful treatment.

Start seedlings in soil free from infection. If spraying is necessary, 

 use Bordeaux mixture on young plants and continue its use at inter- 

 vals throughout the season.
