and leaves. The first injury is often
serious but not always very noticeable.
All vineyards, and especially those
having light sandy soils in which
clean cultivation has been kept up
throughout the winter, should examine
their vines for the work of cut worms.
This is easily recognized by the hol-
lowed and shriveled buds, the des-
truction of portions of the already
opened buds and the partially consum-
ed leaves. Vines badly attacked ap-

The worms or caterpillars feed only

Of the vines will reveal the culprits.
They vary somewhat in color but are
usually dark greenish brown, from one
and one-half to two inches long and
about the diameter Of a lead pencil.
The first attacks usually occur in low
portions of the vineyard adjacent to
uncultivatei areas.
