THE wIREwoRM PEST.

Prepared BY United States department Of

The wireworm Is regarded as one Of
the Eve chief pests OF Indian corn and
one OF the twelve OF wheat and oats.
where wireworms exist even In very
small numbers corn win make a poor

numerous II IL quite customary to Sow
three or four times the normal amount
OF seed as a protection against Its raw

this damage while mere gruhs ncasur-

nixcd as adult beetles, which In SOME
localities are known as click beetles

A number OF birds are known 10 feed
on wireworns and these are probably
the most important factor In keeping
down the pest Among these birds are
the bobwhitc. flicker. mourning dove.

California quail. cowhird aud bobolink-
Cuckoos. wcodpcckers. biackbIris.
orioles. sparrcws. jays and certain
kinds OF hawks are also useful In this
way.
Where the wireworms are too nu-

birds the only remedies which have
been found effective are cultural meth

A great many persons really want TO be

impertiaily take account OF their own
stock In trade. Belittling ones ability
may rob the needy world OF generous

The little helps which naturally suggest
themselves are those that count, and in
time they lessen the sum of human
suffering and encouragement and ioss.
