to be destructive for more than
week or two at most. Frost will not
seriously injure the caterpillars, but
will hasten their transformation and
thereby check their injury.
"This pest has never been known
to appear in such destructive numbers
in any region two years in succession
so that wheat growers may rest as
sured that it will not reappear next
year unless the summer is again UNI
usually favorable. Wheat which has
not yet been sown, and that which is
yet small will not suffer from this
pest except perhaps as it may migrate
from other fields. The Hessian Fly
has often proclaimed very forcibly
against the all too common habit of
sowing wheat too early, but the
wheat growers OF Missouri have re-
cieved still another reminder, not
soon to be forgotten, in the form of
the Fall Army Worm"
Inquiries concerning the pest and
information as to its progress will be
gladly received by Mr.. Haseman.

Fall Army Worms Busy.

The Missouri Experiment Station at
Columbia, is receiving daily large
number of inquiries concerning a
worm which is doing great damage
to wheat, rye and winter oats in vari-
GUS parts of the state. Referring to
this pest Leonard Haseman, Station
Entomologist, makes the following
statement:
"The small variously marked cater
pillar which is injuring wheat, rye,
alfalfa and other field crops is the
so-called Fall Army Worm. This
pest has three generations each year
though only the fall brood is Of i'm
portance. The unusually dry sum-
mer has permitted the pest to multi
ply rapidly without being checked by
disease and parasites. This insect
breeds ordinarily in pastures and
meadows where its work is of little
importance. But this fall, wheat was
sown entirely too early and when the
fall brood of moths appeared i'll
September they found an abundance
of young thrifty wheat on which they
deposited their eggs and where the
caterpillars are now at work.
''This caterpillar will often migrate
when the food supply at hand is all
gone though it does not seem to have
the roaming nature Of the true army
worm which appears in midsummer.
1t destroys all of the leaves but is not
apt to eat out the bud or heart of the
young wheat plant since this is still
quite low in the ground. For this
reason, past records seem to show
that field may be completely stripped
at this time and still come out and
make almost perfect crop. Ishould
therefore, not advise resolving unless
the buds and roots are found to be
actually dead.
Unfortunately, remedies are only
partially effective in controlling this
pest. When it shows tendencies to
migrate, surround the infested area
or field with one or more deep bitches
or plowed burrows. The wall next
to the field to be protected should be
as nearly vertical as possible. Post
holes every few feet in these bitches
will help to collect the caterpillars
where they can be killed. When the
ground is level and fairly firm a
heavy roller will crush myriads of
the caterpillars and not injure the
wheat. A heavy drag can be used to
advantage on fields that have been
badly stripped by the pest, since it is
then less apt to drag out the grain.
A brush heavily weighted has also
been used to advantage. The use of
a poison is out of the question where
they are generally distributed over
field though it will help where they
are yet confined to a small area.
From samples received by the
College of Agriculture it would seem
that the pest will soon have COM
pleted its feeding when it will 60 into
the ground to make frail cocoon in
which it pupates and passes the
winter. In our breeding cages here
they are going into the ground and in
fact many have already pupated, so it
is not likely that the pest will continue
