 buckwheat between the rows ; 3° green and gray 

 caterpillars, which are hidden during day light,

 light, and destroyed with the hand ; 4" slugs, which 

 may be destroyed with a small sharp stick, in the 

 evening or morning, because during the day time 

 they hide beneath the ground : 5° grubs, against 

 which fumigations are made use of with advantage ; 

 another way is to cut the leaves and the end buds 

 which are infected and to throw them into the fire.
