OUTWOBMS. 



Tomatoes, cabbage, sweet potatoes 

 and other vegetables and garden plants, 

 and especially those which are started 

 under glass and transplanted, are sub* 

 ject to serious injury by cutworms. 

 They appear sometimes in great num- 

 bers in spring and early summer and 

 frequently do severe injury. The meth* 

 od of attack is to cut off the young 

 plants at about the surface of the 

 ground, and as these insects are of 

 large size and voracious feeders they 

 are capable of destroying many plants 

 in a single night, frequently more than 

 they can devour. During the last two 

 years these insects, working generally 

 throughout the United States, destroyed 

 hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth 

 of crops. By the timely application 

 of remedies, however, it was demon- 

 strated by the Department of Agricul- 

 ture through field agents and others 

 of the Bureau of Entomology engaged 

 in the investigation of insects injurious 

 to truck crops and sugar beets in some 

 of the principal trucking regions, no- 

 tably in tidewater Virginia, in southern 

 Texas, in the vicinity of Rocky Ford, 

 Colo., in southern California, in the 

 vicinity of Sacramento, Cal., in Stark 

 county, Indiana, and in some other re- 

 gions, that these insects can be readily 

 controlled, large areas being success- 

 fully treated. The usual method of con- 

 trol is by the use of poisoned baits. 



Take a bushel of dry bran, add one 

 pound of arsenic or Paris green, and 

 mix it thoroughly into a mash with 

 eight gallons of water, in which has 

 been stirred half a gallon of sorghum, 

 or other cheap molasses. After the 

 mash has stood several hours, scatter it 

 in lumps of about the size of a marble 

 oyer the fields where injury is begin- 

 ning to appear and about the bases 

 of the plants set out. Apply late in 

 the day, so as to place the poison about 

 the plants over night, which is the time 

 when the cutworms are active. Apply 

 a second time if necessary. 



When cutworms occur in unusual 

 abundance, which happens locally, and 

 sometimes generally, in some seasons, 

 they exhaust their food supply and are 

 driven to migrate to other fields. This 

 they do, literally in armies, assuming

what is called the army-worm habit. 

 At such times it is necessary to treat 

 them as we do army worms. While 

 the methods which have been advised 

 are valuable in such cases, these rem- 

 edies may be too slow to destroy all the 

 cutworms, and we therefore have to 

 employ other methods. These include 

 trenching, ditching, the plowing of deep 

 furrows in advance of the traveling 

 cutworms to trap them, and the drag- 

 ging of logs or brush through the fur- 

 rows. If the trenches can be filled with 

 water, the addition of a small quantity 

 of kerosene so as to form a thin scum 

 on the surface will prove fatal. In ex- 

 treme cases barriers of fence boards are 

 erected and the tops smeared with tar 

 or other sticky substances to stop the 

 cutworms as they attempt to crawl 

 over. 



Clean cultural methods and rotation 

 of crops are advisable, as also fall plow- 

 ing and disking. Many cutworms can 

 be destroyed where it is possible to 

 overflow the fields. This is particularly 

 applicable where irrigation is practiced.
