disturbed. They seem to bounce around on the ground when knocked from the plant. 

 Garden webworms are green worms with black spots that web the undersides of leaves. 

 The beetles eat holes in the leaves and feed on blossoms and pods; the green clover- 

 worms eat the edges of leaves, giving the plants a ragged appearance; and the webworms 

 skeletonize the leaves. Carbaryl or toxaphene should adequately control all three, 

 although an insecticide is recommended only under extreme infestations. 



Corn earworm moths are now appearing and will lay eggs on fresh silks. 

 Fall armyworm moths are also increasing in number. Hybrid seed corn producers should 

 watch for these insects and their eggs and be prepared to apply control measures if 

 necessary. 



Crickets should not be so abundant this fall as they were a few years ago. 

 However, if migrations increase, an application of chlordane to the outside founda- 

 tion of the house will help to control these pests, although they may enter the house 

 before they die. For details about foundation sprays, ask your county farm adviser 

 for Circular 887, "Keep Outdoor Pests Out of Your House." 



Caution : Before applying insecticides, read the labels carefully and fol- 

 low all precautions. This not only will insure personal safety, but will also elimi- 

 nate insecticide residue hazards.
