voracious appetite when it gets to
cutting off the plants.
at now lives near the surface of
the ground, coming to the surface at
night and gnawing. off plants at the
ground level. Thus it continues, its
work until the middle of June, when it
becomes full grown. AT that time it
curls up and likewise goes through a
stage during which it turns into a
moth, which then energies from the
ground during about the first part of
August. These moths begin to lay
their eggs in few weeks, on sod
land.
"This pest has also been doing much
damage this spring but cannot be
stopped now. The treatment must be-
gin the previous season. The fields tu
carry crops that the cut worms have
attacked should be plowed as early
as possible the preceding season, and
should be kept clean of vegetation I'm
til frost. Then in the spring it should
be disturbed with the disc or harrow
as soon as possible, and treated so I'M
til the field is sown to it's crop The
moths do not lay their eggs on fallow,
open land, and thus the field will not
receive many eggs. ,~
"a method of preventing the worms
from coming in from an adjoining
field is to spread poisoned mash over
the ground on the edge of the field.
Sack about a pound of Paris gren
with Is pounds of finely chopped Glow
er. The worms will come to the
surface at night and eat the poison.
"Many methods are employed to
combat the pest in the small gardens
when one is working, but it will also
be well to remember that the moth
lays her eggs the previous fall in
soddy or weedy land. If the garden
is cleared or plowed i1rthe fall it will
help matters a great deal.
!" I'm general, planting on sod land
always offers great possibility for
damage to the crop by cut worms"

"The life cycle of the cut worm is
somewhat similar to that of the tent

late summer and early fall by another
species of moth. The eggs are always
deposited on grass land, or land with
any kind of vegetation, such as weeds
and stubblesl In case theSegg matches
in the fall and the small worm stays
near the surface of the ground until
the frost leaves the ground. By this
time the worm has become very
