TREATMENT FOR WlREWORMS.


pertinent station hes recommended, in
his reports and other writings, kainit
as a preventive of wireworm injury.
We have his testimony that "where this
material is used before planting corn,
even on old sod, cutworms and wire
worms will do no injury" 1t is proper
to state that the efficacy Of the above
preventives has not been sustained in
experiments made at the Cornell uni
versity experiment. station, but in view
of the strong testimony above quoted
Country Gen tleman asks, SIS it not pos
sible that when tested in the field differ
emit results would be obtained from those
given in the cages in the insectary?"
Different soil conditions might also
yield quite different results.
The last Cornell bulletin recommends
the destruction Of the matured insect
the beetle--by attracting to paris
green poisoned clover bait; frequent and
thorough blowing and pulverization Of
infested fields for three or four weeks
following July 30, for breaking up the
earthen cells in which the pupa is con-
tanned at this time and thereby killing
it, after which wheat or rye may be
sown; short rotation of crops, and not
keeping fields in sod for more than
year or two at time, and thorough Gull
tivation in the fall.
Country Gentleman says that there is
strong testimony to the efficacy of crop
of buckwheat in preventing injury by
wireworms, and quotes Hon. A. B.
Dickinson as saying: "After expert
menting with salt and lime, and many
other things recommended, I have found
only one remedy for the rascals, and
that is to break the sod and SOW it to
buckwheat. Plow late and as often as
possible in ne fall, and then SOW it to
peas in the spring. With like blowing
the next fall, they will not injure any
crop the following season.
In England a crop Of mustard is be-
lieved by many to be an absolute specific
against wireworms. A farmer stated
at an agricultural meeting: II sowed
with mustard field of AZ acres, which
had never repaid me for 10 years in
consequence of nearly every crop having
been destroyed by the wireworm. Not
a single wireworm could be found the
following year, and the crop of wheat
throughout was superior to any that 1
have grown for 81 years. 10
Many farmers have asserted that wet
either destroys wireworms, drives them
deeper into the soil beyond the roots
or renders the soil SO obnoxious that the
worms leave.
On this subject one of the Cornell
professors writes as follows in Rural
New Yorker: "F'rom long series of
experiments made in 1890 and 1891 at
the Cornell insectary we found that to
kill wireworms salt must be used at the
rate of about eight tons to the acre, or
over per cent of the soil to depth of
four inches must be salt. This amount
would, of course, kill all vegetation. In
1891 we thoroughly tested the supposed
effect Of salt in driving the wireworms
deeper into the soil. Our results indi-
Gated that 1000 pounds of salt per acre
interfered with the termination Of
wheat, and neither drove the wireworms
deeper into the soil nor caused them to
migrate to any appreciable distance. 80
