Cutworms are the larvae of small moth

It's These moths fly about mostly late
m the afternoons and at night ana are
frequently seen IN the house around the
lamps during midsummer Late in tho
summer those moths lay their eggs in
grassy places: these soon hatch out into
larvae which feed on whatever tender sue
culont vegetation may be at hand. They
become about half grown before winter sets
In and then hibernate among the roots Of
plants or under stones. logs. etc. ready
10 come forth in early spring and resume
eating. feeding on whatever may be green
or succulent
There are several ways OF combating
them. They are never bad in the spring
I'm fields that were kept clean of grass and
weeds the preceding summer. After the
land is plowed in February or March any
succulent vegetable matter may be poison
ed with paris green and small balls Of the
vegetable matter dropped about over the
surface Where green clover. c0llard leaves
turnip leaves or such other material IS
at hand these may serve the purpose One
pound of paris green stirred in fifty gal
Ions of water is the right strength This
may be sprayed on a small patch of clover
