seem that the pest will soon have
completed its feeding when it will
60 into the ground to make a frail
cocoon in which 1t pupates and
passes the winter. In our breed
ing cages here they are going into
the ground and in fact many have
already pupagated, so it is not
likely that the pest will continue
to be destructive for more than a
week or two at most. Frost will
not seriously injure the caterpil-
lars, but will hasten their trans
formation and thereby check their
injury.
"This pest has never been
known to appear in such destruct-
i've numbers In any region two
years in succession so that wheat
growers may rest assured that it
will not reappear next year unless
the summer is again unusually
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
Hesslan Fly has often proclaimed
very forcibly against the all too
common habit of sowing wheat
too early, but the wheat growers
Of Missouri have received still an
other reminder, not soon to be
forgotten, in the form of the fell
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 Sta
ton at Columbia is receiving daily
a large number Of inquiries con-
cerning worm which is doing
great damage to wheat, rye and
winter oats in various parts of the
state. Referring to this pest
Leonard Haseman, station Ento-
mologist, makes the following
statement:
"The small variously marked
caterpillar which is injuring
wheat, rye, alfalfa and other field
crops is the so.called fall army
worm. This pest has three gen.
erations each year though only
the fall brood is of Importance.
The unusually day summer has
permitted the pest to multiply
rapidly without being checked by
disease and parasites. This in
sect breeds ordinarily in pastures
and medows where its work is OF
little importance. But this fall
wheat was sown entirely too early
aud when the fall brood Of moths
appeared in September they found
an abundance of young thrifty
wheat on which they deposited
their eggs and where the cater
pillars are now at work.
"The caterpillar will often mi
CRATE when the food supply at
hand is all gone though it does
not seem to have the roaming ma
ture of the true army worm which
appears in midsummer. 1t de-
stroys 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 a field may be com
pletely stripped at this time and
still come out and make almost a
perfect crop. | should therefore
not advise resolving unless the
the buds and roots are found to
be actually dead.
unfortunately, remedies are
only partially effective in controll-
ing 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
caterpillsrs 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 ad-
vantage on fields that have been
badly stripped by the pest, since
il Is then less apt to drag out The
grain. A brush heavily weighted
has also been used to advantage,

The fire that destroyed a greater

mean that dealers would have to
