Food Administration is worthy of 
serious attention by every reader 
of this paper. The food situation, 
especially since the defection of 
Russia is tragically serious. Loyal 
citizens, people who are either 
thoughtless or ignorant or both do 
repeat “silly stories and grossly 
untrue rumors.” Be careful what 
you say! Your loyalty may be 
unquestionable, you may be at 
heart a true American but if you 
repeat these mysterious rumors or 
permit them to go unquestioned 
you are playing into the hands of 
our enemies which means that you 
are helping to kill our soldier 
boys. Do you want to do that? —

On Keeping Bordeaux Mixture 
“Bordeaux mixture may be kept 
indefinitely, physically and chemi- 
cally as when first made, by the 
addition either of a little cane sug- 
ar or glucose.’’ 
So says Prof. B. F. Lutman of 
the Vermont Agricultural Experi- 
ment Station in Bulletin 196. 
The Cabbage Worm 
Particular attention is invited 
to the article in this number on the 
use of poison to combat the cab- 
bage worm. 
Institute speakers on horticul- 
ture always go prepared to answer 
this question, “What can we do to 
kill cabbage worms.”. Sometimes

at institutes they make a little bet 
on the side that that will be the 
first question asked. No other 
worm seems to be as popular as 
the cabbage worm and none causes 
more damage in the home garden. 
This is because most people are 
afraid to use poison on cabbage. 
Prof. Wilson tells us that there is 
no danger in using arsenate of 
lead or Paris green on cabbage 
plants and every market gardener 
in the state will endorse the state- 
ment. Use a heaping teaspoonful 
of dry arsenate of lead to 2y 2 or 3 
gallons of water or iy 2 times this 
quantity of paste arsenate. Paris 
green is quite as effective and at 
the present writing is not more 
expensive than arsenate of lead, at 
least, when bought in small quan- 
tities. 
A heaping teaspoonful of Paris 
green or powdered arsenate of lead 
to one quart of flour or air-slaked 
lime, sprinkled on cabbage when 
it is moist, will get the cabbage 
worm. 
Cucumbers require warm, rich 
soil and plenty of moisture. Keep 
them growing rapidly from seed 
to harvest. 
Thorough cultivation in the gar- 
den is of much greater value than 
artificial watering. 
It is not too early to think about 
exhibiting fruits, vegetables or 
flowers at the state and county 
fairs this fall. Grow something 
well and show it. 
If you believe in peace you will 
fight to get it.
