INJURIOUS INSECTS 



Remedies. Arsenites thoroughly applied to check 

 first brood. Should be applied before larva* leave the 

 lowest leaves. Later broods are more difficult to deal 

 with ; hence, the first brood .should lie promptly checked. 



Carpets. BUFFALO BEETLE. See under B. 



CLOTHES MOTH. See under C. 



CODLING MOTH. See under Apple. 



Clover. CLOVER HAY WORM. ( Asopia costal i* 

 Fabr. ; order Lepidoptera.) A larva which attacks the 

 dry or partially dry clover. 



Remedy. Clean mows out before storing new hay ; 

 salt the first two or three feet of newly stored hay. 



CLOVER SEED MIDGE. (Cecidoini/id leguminicola 

 Lint.; order Diptera.) Larva feeds upon the forming- 

 seed, destroying it. 



Rented icx. Cut early crop when in full head, and 

 depend upon second crop for seed. The flies oviposit in 

 flowers of first crop. Fall plowing in infested fields. 

 Use lime and kainit in fall after crop is off. 



CUT- WORMS. (Agrotis sp. and others; order Lepi- 

 doptera.) Soft brown to grayish worms feeding upon 

 tops and crowns or even roots of plants. 



Remedy. Arsenical baits placed about in the even- 

 ing. In garden plots, dig deep narrow holes near plants 

 to be protected. The worms will fall in and cannot 

 escape. Worms frequently remain hidden during the 

 day. 



CUT- WORMS, CLIMBING. Several varieties. Worms 

 climb trees at night and eat off the buds. 



Preventive. Cotton batting banded about the tree; 

 top of band turned down, and worms cannot climb over.
