The SOUTHERN GRASS WORM

the common insecticides such as Paris
green and arspnate OF lead. The ~ at
est trouble is in reaching these worms
in the bud of the corn with these 2ois-
ons. There is no doubt about the fact
thet the poison will kill the worms if
it is eaten but the people who have
attempted to poison them around Nc
Neil have not reported uniformly good
results.
This has been due somewhat to the
fact that they waited too late to ap-
ply the poison and have then not
used it exactly as it should have been
used. But In many instances these
worms have appeared in certain fields
| in such great quantities that even
though they had been killed as fast
as they ate the poisoned crop, there
would have been enough of them to
have entirely destroyed it. This has
been particularly the case where the
middles of the rows were grassy and
where the grass had been plowed ur
and the worms deprived of other food
than the crop itself. In grassy mid
dies here we have frequently seen the
worms so thick that as many as q
dozen might have been killed at g
single placing of the foot and on corr
where such middles have been plowet
out we have counted as many as thirty
four worms on a single corn plant MOI
more than eight inches high and will
the worms still crawling all over the
ground. In such places these worms
would cut down stalks of corn highe1
than your head.
After trying many remedies her.
