Spring Army Worm
Reported In Kent
CONTINUED from nrsr page,

1"-1h" or sometimes g." 1t is an
extremely ravenous insect and the
outbreaks occur without any pre-
liminary warning. s
All farmers should, from this
date, inspect their small grains,
pastures, and hay lands as soon as
is practicable. The Army Worm
will apparently break out over
night and is difficult to control.
The distribution of poison bait
is suggested coupled with the plow-
ing of trenches around the field TO
prevent the worm from moving to
another location. Dusts and sprays
of DDT, Toxathane, and Marlate
may be used and have proven more
or less satisfactory. Whatever
method is used it is imperative to
use the control measure promptly
and thoroughly. The poison bait,
dusts and sprays that have Just
been mentioned can be applied by
ground equipment or by plane.
All farmers are urged to get in
touch with the County Agent
should any type of worm appear in
their small grains, corn, or hay
fields and when they are not sure
of the identity Of the worm.
