THE ALFALFA CUTWORM.
The Best Methods of Defense-CIear
and Practical Advice.


The alfalfa cutworm has proved so
disastrous in many of the valley dis
tricts of Colorado that farmers are
alarmed over Its ravages and are writ
ing us for Information regarding 1t,
says the Denver Field and Farm. These
caterpillars are not at all particular
about what. they eat. We have seen
them actually feeding upon large va
riety of plants, including clover. lupine,
alfalfa, sanfoin. cabbage, horse radish,
mustard. turnip, radish, shepherds
purse. timothy, blue joint. red top,
wheat, oats, rye, barley, thistle, cactus,
beet, trawberry, cherry, apple, peach,
apricot. prune, plum, raspberry, cur
rant. gooseberry. blackberry, corn,
peas. celery. tomato. potato. onion. ave-
nae. larkspur, rhubarb, dandelion and
numerous native grasses.
Their dietary is not confined to green
plants. In devastated granfield near
Denver we once saw them eagerly de-
vouring dead grain stubble and the dry
roots of various weeds. When all other
available food is exhausted they may
turn upon one another and become can
nibals. In postholes we observed mass
es of them which had been preying up
on one another for two weeks. The
feeding habits of this cutworm are like
those of the true army worm. AS long
as food is abundant they feed prefer
ably at night and remain concealed
during the day In the ground or under
sticks and stones.
Farmers are naturally anxious to
know how to defend themselves against
the attacks of these enemies. Rolling
the fields has been tried, but the roll
Ing was done in the daytime and as the
worms were then hidden beneath the
soil the pressure was found insufficient
to crush them, and they escaped with
out injury In order to be effective such
remedy must be applied at night
when the worms are on the surface.
Other less expensive and more effective
remedies had to be devised.
One of these Is the use of running wa
ter in bitches. This method gives good
results and when properly and careful
ly executed is perhaps the simplest and
most efficient means of combating in
sects with habits such ms those of the
migratory cutworm. A ditch should be
plowed through the field somewhat in
front of the advancing army and should
be so laid out that the fall is consider
able and as regular as possible. 1t is
advisable to make the banks of the
ditch as steep and smooth as may be.
There should be no sharp curves or
other obstruction which might produce
an eddy or dead water. The width
should be not less than a foot at the
bottom, the water should be six inches
deep. and the ditch ought not to be
level full.
Flooding an alfalfa field with slight
drip of petroleum floating on the water
has been effective in chasing the worms
off the earth, but this practice may in
5ure the quality of the hay. Sprinkling
lime on the surface may also do good
Cutting short stand Of alfalfa and
then sprinkling the green swaths on the
ground with strong arsenical poisons
In solution would soon kill every cater
pillar in the field, with but the loss of a
week or so in the growth of the sue
ceeding crop.
