INFORMATION REGARDING
DESTRUCTIVE CUTWORM
Ento omologists Gives Useful
knowledge Regarding
Pests.

Record Courier: la regard to
the insect. pests which are damag-
ing the alfalfa fields in that region
| will say that after careful ex-
animation OF them by Professor
Frandsen, head OF our Department
of Z oey, Profe sor Dlnsmore and
myself, We are sure that they are
typical cut-worms, and that only
one species is doing any great "a
mount OF damage.
| think it will be interesting TO
know a little OF the life history and
nature of such worms, Sc | am GO
ing to quote page or two from
a book recently published by Prof.
John b. Smith OF New Jersey, who
iss probably the foremost lllvlug
authority on economic entomology
as a whole at the present time,
and who has given an immense a.
mount of study 10 the little group
OF insects to winch the cutworms
belong. Professor Smith writes as
follows:
"In the family Noctuldae or
owlet moth we have large number
OF species, and among them are
many that are troublesome to the
farmer. The moths are as u rule
somber grey or bro yn, expanding
when the wings are spread between
one aud three inches, averaging
perhaps an incn and half IN tie
ma jorIty OF eases.
The more typical Noctuids are
seen during the day. They hide
under BARK or stones, in oHt-houses
or wherever they can fad shelter
bnt at ght they fly actively an
and many OF them are attracted 10
light. Many OF the caterpillars
are known as cutworms and when
full grown average from an inch to
an in, n and one-hali sometimes
reaching, bat rarely, two lnehcs
They are naked, obseurely colore
usually varying from dirt grey Io
dirty yellow-brown. sometlm
black or greenlsh. They hide dur-
ing the day little below the sur
face Of the ground at the base oi
the plants on which they feed, ana
during the night come out to feea
upon whatever vegetation they can
find.
'Wh N full grown they enter the
Garth burrowing down little way
according to the kind OF soil, aud
change 10 maNogany brown pupae
in little cells III the earth. The
chrysalids 81 about an inch long,
round at one end, sharp at lie
other. They are esiess wingless
creatures which present an inter
mediate stag u..ween the aetiv
crawling worm and the active
winged moth. On the surface OF
the shell of the pupae can lie traced
the outline Of the wings, feelels,
and eyes OF the moth.
Usually the moths make their
appearance in August and Septem-
ber and frequently lay their eggs

holdings in Carson Valley and in

The Record-courier. [volume] (Gardnerville, Nev.) 1904-current, 1911-08-04


The reason that cutworms are
SO injurious is that the great a
bundanee of plants in an over
grown field is replaced by a very
small quantity OF food after the
hay is cut. Then, with little or
10 hing tc eat, the worms camp on
the stubble and clean up every
leaf aud eat off everp bud as fast
as it appears until the second crop
has a mighty poor chance to start.
Cutworms can be trapped and
killed by spreading by spreading
on the surface Of the ground little
heaps of poisoned food. OF such
Daits poisoned bran is probably
the best. 1t is prepared as fol-
lows: Use one pound of Paris
green to fifty pounds of bran. Mix
1t dry. Mix 1T thoroughly. Then
add just enough water sweetened
a little with sugar to make the
whole mass wet, but not sloppy.
This mixture Is exceedingly at
tractive to the worms being pre-
lefred 10y them to plants in all
all instances that have come under
my notice.
1t will take from ten to thirty
pounds to tha acre according to the
crop and the other conditions.
(Partly quoted, partly adapted,
from J. B. smiths Economic Entj-
lnology).
Now IRON the look at the Gard
nerville situation which | got last
week and from what | have seen
on a ranch or two near here, it ap.
to me that the pest will not bother
much more in Carson Valley.
Most of the fields seemed to be
making a new start; though there
were a few that had not made any
sort of showing. The worms are
already beginning 10 enter the
ground AMI change to the pupae
from which comes the moths.
What will happen next year re-
mains To be seen; though as a rule
these things do not appear in in
furious numbers two years In sue
cesslon. Taking the Valley as a
nnole, tie best thlng III my ludg-
ment is To let the fields alone, then
give them their usual amount OF
water and encourage them to grow
The poison that Smith suggests
is certainly deadly to such as cut
worms; but like all poisons it
needs TO be handled with lot Of
caution. | noticed that where the
hay was punched most of the
worms were under the punches
and hungry. As soon as the hay
Is hauled, the poison bran mash
could be dropped where the bunch
es had been, making pretty
dangerous free lunch for The
worms. Still, all this sort of thing
should have been done, if at all,
at the very beginning, just as soon
as the hay was hauled.
We got the information so late

THAT PRINTING CONTRACT.

The Gazette is not in a controversial
humOr, and has no desire to enter into
a dispute over the county printing
with the Conconully Record It's arti-
Gle on the county printing was based
on figures supplied by the county aud
itor, and the general knowledge of the
antagonistic attitude of the auditor
toward this Office will preclude any
charge that that individual is playing
the Gazette as favorite. A few lines
are all that will be devoted to the sub
ject. This paper made no reference
to the samples of paper submitted. 1t
merely stated that according to the
evidence presented the paper to be
furnished by the Record was consid-
erably lighter than the other bidders
offered to furnish. That, however,
is too small an item to consider. 1t is
never the purpose of the Gazette to
purposely misrepresent, and in order
that the public may know that the po-
sitiOn the Gazette took on the letting
of the printing contract was based on
official figures the bids of the several
newspapers are herewith published. 1t
will be readily seen that the claims
made by the Record that it was the
lowest bidder is without foundation:
