A Montreal Herald summary explains cutworms, the caterpillars of certain small night flying moths. Eggs laid in strips on tree twigs hatch into larvae that descend to the soil, overwinter there, and emerge to attack early vegetation. They are voracious, feeding only at night and severing plants at ground level.
The piece describes cutworms feeding on wheat, Indian corn, oats, cereals, and garden vegetables. They climb trees at night, chew tender leaves, then hide under soil by day, marking their homes with withered patches. Dig beds, turn soil, and crush worms to trap and kill them. A notorious European introduced species, the spotted cutworm, is highlighted.

Recommends saving small or decayed potatoes or apples for hens and notes winter peach blight in California caused by a fungus, with Bordeaux mixture spray suggestion.
