Remedy for Currant Worms-
A writer recommends as an
failing remedy for the currant
worms “to sift fresh wood ashes
on the bushes in the afternoon and
again late in the evening But
rnie must be sure the ashes fell on
the worms.” To this maybe added
that it is very difficult to reach the
worms m this way, as most of
them are found on the underside
of the leaves, where they cannot
be dusted with the ashes. The
better way has been found to dust
the leaves with powdered
hellebore early m the morning
when they are wet with dew. This
destroys the leaves tho worms and stays on
several _1 days,
