CUTT;CE!75 (Noctuldae) 
Arizona Arizona "7e~s Lct J :or , Vol. k, No.l, (Jar 4 u ■ "1): Mr, Fred C. Tullen, 
■•'ho is located northwest o^ Phoenix , is v usiastic over 
the results he obtained in poisoning cutworms. Mr, Fullen -planted 
lettuce in a 10-acre field and the -"orras destroyed so many of the 
plants that the lettuce v*as disked up and the land replanted to 
winter peas. As scon as the oeas began coming through the soil 
the cut-orms began to attack them. An examin tion of the "field 
showed that the ^orms were plentiful ain were in practically all 
" of development. The poisoned bran mash consisting of Paris 
;t en and br'*n '-as applied in the dry form but the <-crms arparentlv 
a iled to eat trie. Several days later the same mixture • 
d -ith the addition of the cheap molasses. This pnarently 
ttracted the ---ormc and they ate it readily. In v short time the 
1 -ormc could be noticed along the rows by the hundredth Mr, 
Fullen is of the opinion that the tr i tment saved his pea crop 
froi itruction, and v as very appreciative of J sistance he 
Lved in controlling the rest.
