g out to see exactly what is going on in the field, and
we didn't see any evidence of their work this year. Another thing, it
seems to be a year in which the asters did fairly well, and there was
very little yellows.

Mr. Ingersoll: You think that irregular watering might make any
difference or very solid rooting?

Mr. Moore: It might do something of the sort. The most we heard of the
yellows was the year before last, and we were held up at the time with
other work and could not investigate properly. Any one here that has
yellows in asters next year, we would be very glad to hear from him and
send some one out to find the cause. It wouldn't surprise me that it was
something in the treatment of the aster.

Mr. Cadoo: Do angleworms hurt house plants?

Mr. Moore: Not as a rule. They do eat a small amount of vegetation, but
ordinarily in a house plant, if you have, say, a worm in a pot, I think
it is rather beneficial than injurious, because it keeps the soil
stirred up.

Mr. Rasmussen: What is the spray for the cabbage and onion maggot?

Mr. Moore: Unfortunately I am a very poor person to remember figures,
and I carry this around with me. One spray is three ounces of lead
arsenate, two and a half pounds of brown sugar to four gallons of water,
but we found that probably a little better spray was to use the New
Orleans molasses instead of the sugar and the formula is: One ounce of
lead arsenate, one-half pint of New Orleans molasses and one gallon of
water. The spray that was used for the onion maggot and was devised over
in Wisconsin is: One-fifth ounce of sodium arsenite, one-half pint of
New Orleans molasses and one gallon of water.

Mr. Rasmussen: The Wisconsin spray is what I used to spray my place
several years, and I was wondering if it was the same.

Mr. Moore: It was peculiar that they started to work on the onion maggot
in Wisconsin at the same time we started on the cabbage maggot here.

Mr. Rasmussen: We have controlled the onion maggots almost entirely, but
the cabbage maggots are very difficult.

Mr. Moore: In our control plots it controlled it very well. Our plants
were infested only with a few maggots, but not sufficient to do any
injury.
