Watch the bud worm.
When the bud worm cuts the
heart leaves break out the heart or
top as it is called. The holes formed
in the broken part as small as the
point of darning needle, will grow
to large ones as the leaf develops.
Allow no worm to get foothold
in your field. Paris green will end
their career every time.
When selling time comes the
grower will then realize a financial
difference between a worm eaten
wrapper and a perfect one. He will
find that the former has transferred
itself into a second rate filler with
many buyers.
1t is not a very pleasant job to
"yank" the head from off a big
horned worm, put the average field
hand will soon get used to it. Best
way is to "nip them in the bud"
instead of allowing them to grow SO
large.
Stocks that have been carelessly
neglected and allowed to blossom
should be topped several leaves
higher than those that have Just
buttoned.
Breaking out the heart on account
of holes causes the plant to mature
late and causes repeated cuttings,
but if not broken out the leaf will be
more hol(e)y than righteous. Take
your choice.
When full sized horned worms are
found. 1t plainly shows that the
grower or his employees have failed
to worm the plants in proper man

Turn up the leaf of each plant and
watch closely for eggs as we'll as
worms.
It is the small hol that will spoil
your wrapper and make your bank
account extremely small on selling
day.
