the BOIL worm
And IT'S CONTROL


Wilmon Newell, State Ento-
mologist Of Texas AMI Professor
OF Entomology at thu A. & M.
College OF Texas, says OF the
Boil Worm.
The control Of the boz worE Is
rather difficult. However, the
principal methods of control con
sists, first in blowing corn, pea,
and cotton lands during the early
winter, so rs to break up and
expose the underground pupal
cells in which the boil worm hi
bernates. BY breaking up these
cells and blowing the land the
insects are exposed to weather
conditions and to attack by birds.
The efficiency of this treatment
will be increased if the land is
disked or dragged two or three
times during the winter months.
The second method of combat
ing the boil worm lies in making
use of corn as a trap crop in
such a way as to protect the cot
ton. 1t has been noticed that a
generation of boil worms mature
in corn just before it hardens.
These worms, after reaching
maturity, get into the ground in
the corn field and remain there
about two weeks, during which
time they go through the pupal
stage and then emerge as adult
moths or "millers." BY the
time these millers emerge the
corn is too ripe and hard to at
tract them and they accordingly
go to the cotton for depositing
their eggs. This takes place
about the first week in August,
and as a result of their deposit
ing their eggs upon the cotton at
this time boil worm damage is
usually more heavy during Au-
gust and September. BY plant
ing a few rows of corn in the
cotton field, or around it, plant
ing it at such time that it will
have ears just coming into silk
the first week in August, the
moths willdeposit theireggs upon
this corn in preference to de-
posting them on the cotton: OF
course some eggs will be deposi-
ted upon the cotton anyway, but
but a very large percentage of
them will be deposited upon the
silks of this young corn. Very
often as many as thousand, or
two thousand, eggs are found in
the silks of single ear Of corn
planted in the cotton in this way.
When these eggs hatch into
young boil worms, the boil worms
fight among themselves until
only one or two are left in the
ear out of the hundreds that are
Matched out. BY this method OF
concentrating the egg laying
advantage of the cannibalistic
habit Of the larvae killing each
other, the cotton crop can be
quite we'll protected.
