HOW TO PREVENT
CUTW0RN LOSSES

Land to Sc planted to corn the
following spring. especially such
and as has laid in grass for a
considerable time and is likely to
contain cutworms, should be ploW-
ed in midsummer or early fall
about the time eggs are laid. or
better before the eggs are laid,
for then vegetation which is suit
able for the moths to lay their
eggs upon is removed. The earl
Ter the preceding year graSS-lands
are to be planted to corn are
plowed, the less will be the prob
ability that cutWorm moths will
have laid their eggs thereon, and
the less consequently, will be the
danger Of injury by cutworms
the following year.
Late fall and winter blowing of
grasslands, although not as etfec-
tive as early blowing, will destroy
many of the alternating cut
worms, as well as such other i'm
portant corn pests, and should be
practiced when earlier blowing
is impracticable.
Pasturing hogs upon land sup
posed to harbor cutworms is a
beneficial practice, as these ami
mails root up and devour insects
of many kinds, including cut
worms, in large numbers. Farm
poultry, if trained to follow the
pillow, will prove of inestimable
value.
When cutworms are abundant
on cortland, the use of poisoned
bait is recommended. This may
be prepared as follows. Mix 80
pounds of wheat bran, 2 pounds
of Paris green or crude arsenic,
such as the by-product from cop
per smelters, and 6 finely chop
ped oranges or lemons. Mix to
consistency of stiff dough by add
ing low grade molases, adding
water also when necessary. Mid
dlings or alfalfa meal may be sue
cessfully substituted for bran.
Distribute this bait over the in
tested field in small lumps;s prink-
lie it sparingly around each hill.
In fields that are infested, dis
butte the bait as soon as corn be-
gins to appear above ground.
Promptly replant the injured
hills. During the warmer spring
months cutworms feed mostly at
night and burrow into the soil
during the day, so that the bait
usually will be more effective if
applied during the late afternoon
or early evening.
Cutwormsoften migrate to cult
waited fields from adjoining grass
lands. In such cases protect the
crops by running a narrow band
of the poisoned bait around the
edge of the field or along the side
nearest the source of infestation.
