Prompt action is necessary for con-
trolling cutworms after their presence
has become noticeable In the spring.
When the corn or other cereal has be-
gun to sprOut, which is the. time the
worms usually begin their depreda-
tiOns, delay in applying remedies may
prove disastrous to the crop. It is
usually too late to write to the depart
ment of agriculture for advice as to
control measures and await reply.
The importance of recognizing these
insects and knowing how to control
them is therefore evident.
Cutworm injury almost invariably
occurs in the spring. the plants usu
ally being cut off at the surface or
little below the surface Of the ground.
AS stated. this injury begins as soon
as the first plants sprout and continues
until late June or early July, when the
worms have become full grown. Feed
ing takes place at night, the worms
resting during the day beneath debris
or in the sell at depth of from one
half to one inch below the surface.
and since they closely resemble the
color of the soil In most cases the
cause of the injury Is often not ap-
parent. If the soil surrounding the
cut-off plant be examined carefully,
however, the culprit will quite likely
be found curled up in the soil as illus
trated (Fig. 1, q.
tfe History of CutNuornos
The various cutworms are known
under number of popular names,
such as the CLASSY cutworm, greasy
cutworm. variegated cutworm Gig. ~,
spotted cutworm Zig. p. etc., but the
injuries caused by them are very SINH
lar and their habits in general are also
much the same. The parents Of cut
worms are grayish or brownish moths,
or "millers." which commonly occur
at lights during sunamer evenings.
Each moth may lay from 200 to 500
eggs, either in masses or singly, in
fields covered with dense vegetation,
and hence are to be found more often
in cultivated fields which have been
in grass or weeds the preceding fall.
The eggs hatch in the fall. a few
weeks after they are laid, usually dur
ing September. and the young cut
worms. after feeding on grass and
other vegetation. pass the winter as
partly grown caterpillars. If such
infested fields are left to grass no no
ticeabe injury is likely to occur. but

ICO SOIvSOTUVs
when 1t is broken up and planted to
corn or other wide-row crops the
worms. being suddenly placed on
''short rations," often injure severely
the newly planted crops. the nearly
full-grown worms feeding greedily and
consuming large amounts Of food. In
northern ATTITUDES they attain full
growth and stop feeding in late June
or early July. and change to the pupal
of resting stage. The injury often
ceases SO suddenly that farmers are at
a loss to account for the fact.
In the western and northwestern
states a distinct group Of cutworms
occurs. the individual members of
which have been studied but slightly.
Such studies have shown that some of
them at least have life histories quite
different from those of the cutworms
of the eastern or more humid regions
of the United States. as outlined
above. These western cutworms have
beer known under the names of "arIny
cutworms" or the western army cut
worm."
Cultural Methods.
Land to he planted to corn the fol-
lowing spring. especially such land as
has lain in grass for considerable
time and is likely to contain cutworms,
should be plowed in midsummer or
early fall about the time the eggs are
laid or hefter before the eyrs are
laid, for then vegetation which is suit.
able for the moths to lay their eggs
upon is removed. The earlier the pre-
ceding year grasslands to be planted
to corn are plowed the less win he
the probability that the cutworm
moths will have laid their eggs there
. on. and the less. consequently. will be
the danger Of injury by cutworms the
following year.
