WHITE WORMS IN SOIL. 



There are small white worms in the 

 soil around my plants. The worms are 

 about a quarter of an inch long, have 

 legs like wireworms and two small 

 horns, or feelers, on the head. I noticed 

 them last spring when I dug the beds 

 to plant chrysanthemums. When I took 

 the old mum plants out this fall I no- 

 ticed that the roots had been eaten. I 

 planted daisies and sweet peas in these 

 beds and I am having the same trouble 

 with them. The sweet peas are about 

 one and one-half inches above the 

 ground, with roots about the sp.me. 

 These little w-orms eat the main root

 gave the beds a good dose of lime, but 

 this has had no effect on the worms. 

 The soil is washings taken from the 

 roads and has been in the houses for 

 five years. I cannot get new soil and 

 this is my reason for writing to you. 

 Do you think Slug Shot would be effec- 

 tive if watered into the soil?

Procure some carbon bisulphide. It 



comes in pound cans at any drug store 

 and is inexpensive. Bore holes with a 

 pointed stick four inches deep and 

 twelve to fifteen inches apart each way 

 over your beds. In each hole pour half 

 a teaspoonful of the carbon and close 

 up the hole at once. Go over your beds 

 in this way and you should clean 

 out the worms without harming your 

 plants. The carbon gives a gas which 

 suffocates all soil pests. Use no naked
