WIRE WORM DUES
 OANAGE II CROPS Etomologist Says Jackson County
 Farmers May Control Insect By Raising Livestock.
-BUY w. s. s

Several days ago George c. Becker, of Fayetteville, state etomologist, made an Investigation of the reported wireworm prevalence in Jackson county, and he has addressed the following letter to the Independent for publication:
 An investigation of the wireworm outbreak occurring in the vicinity of Newport discloses the fact that the insect concerned is the socalled corn and cotton wireworm. This wire worm attacks corn, cotton, peas, and practically all kinds of cultivated crops, except melons and related plants.
 Jackson county farmers will have more success in controlling this in- sect when they begin to raise more livestock. More humus should be supplied to the light, sandy soils, and such soils will have to be relieved oc- .casionally from the continuous corn and cotton croppings.
 When full grown the cotton and corn wireworm is soft white worm not much thicker than a pack thread, and measuring about one inch in length. It may be distinguished from other wireworms by the fact that it's body is composed of 26 segments or joints, every third segment being swollen. The head, which is yellow is long and slender and has pair of prominent brown jaws. These worms cause great damage to corn, cotton and peas by cutting off the roots of the plants.
 After rains, the worms may be found within two inches of the surface of the soil, but during hot, dry spells, they remain over a foot below the surface. At the approach of cold weather the worms begin to work their way down-and they spend the winter at depth of over four feet below the surface.
 Wireworms attain their full growth in from two to three years. During May or June the full grown wire worms build small earthen cells in the soil and transform to what is known as the pupae stage. A few weeks la- ter they emerge as small click beetles, or nap beetles. These beetles deposit their eggs in soil which is covered

with dust mulch, or which has been recently plowed.
 To control wireworms the loose, sandy soils will first have to be stiff fened by the addition of organic mat ter, applied either in the form of barnyard manure, or else by turning under a green manure. The infested land will then have to be handled so that the soil will not be stirred from the middle of June until August.
 If the ground be undisturbed dur ing this period a crust will form on the surface (provided that there is enough humus in the soil) and this will prevent beetles from depositing eggs. If it it were practicable to put infested fields in pasture for two or three years it would be the most ef- fective way of ridding them of wir, worms.
 A good way to handle infested fields is to put them in rye as win ter cover crop. This will make good pasture for the winter months, as 1t will be grown at time when the worms are several feet below the sur face of the soil. The next year, crab grass may be allowed to grow up. Cut this for hay or else use the field for pasture.
 Instead of allowing the field to grow up in crab grass, the rye can be turned under in the spring; this will supply organic matter and will stiff fen the soil. The field can then be put in COW peas, soy beans, or some other crop which will not demand cultivating from June until August
 The year following this, the land may be put in cotton. Corn may then follow cotton. After this the field will have to be put back in pasture or peas as often as the wireworm makes 1t necessary. The amount of humus or organic matter in the soil will have an important bearing on this point. The more organic matter you can put into the soil, less troublesome wire worms become. For this reason the burning of corn and cotton stalks cannot be too strongly condemned. Certainly this practice can be least afforded, where land is infected with wireworms.
 There seemed to be an idea prevail ent about Newport that wireworms are worse following a crop of cow peas. As far as investigations go, there is little foundation for this be- lief
 Corn should never follow corn where the field is infested with wire worms. Where corn must be planted on infested land, every effort should be made to get in an early stand and stimulate the crop to a rapid growth as possible so that it will become well established before wireworms become destructive.
