From Our Farm
Demonstration Agent
IF. G. Tarbox. Jr,)

The Green Clover Worm which
damaged the soybeans a week or
so ago, has just begun to make it.
self noticeable again. Already a
few of the moths have appeared
and are laying eggs for the next
brood. Holes in the leaves of the
new growth show that the small
worms have begun work. Within
the next week or two, another
army will be at work. A great
many farmers who expected to
use the soybeans for hay are
afraid to use the poison to kill the
worms. However, they should by
all means apply poison to enough
to save what seed they will
need for another year. The
worms no doubt will damage the
crop all over Eastern North Car
olina to such an extent as to make
seed a little scarce another year,
and for this reason, every farmer
should apply the poison to enough
of the beans to insure a supply of
seed. If one is afraid to use the
beans for hay. then cut them be-
fore the worms damage them too
much. Mr.. Franklin Sherman,
State Entomologist says that
there is very little danger Of
stock being poisoned from eating
the treated plants after three or
four weeks after treatment. The
first heavy rain will wash most
of the poison off, and leave bare
ly enough to poison one of the
small worms. Use powdered ar
senate of lead as a dust; one
pound to eight pounds of lime
dust. This has proven to be
more preferable than Paris
Green.

Don't forget that the winter
rains wash a lot of fertilizing
material out of your bare soils.
Plan to plant clover, rye, and
small grain on all your soils this
fall, as these crops will not only
increase the amount of vegetable
matter in the soil, but they will
take up fertilizer and hold it
until next spring. AS soon as
they are plowed under and begin
