Cutworms Of All Kinds
Infest Valley Fields
(Continued from Page 1)
the problem of cutworm exter
mination exceedingly difficult,
he found. The spotted, army,
w-marked and variegated cut
worms eat the parts of plants
above ground. They winter in
a dormant stage and are hun
griest at the lime of early
planting.
The red-backed and glassy cut
worm feed underground, and are
damaging later in the spring.
Poison baits will control the
worms in the first group, Mr.
Chamberlin reports, but nothing
has been developed in Alaska
that will help eliminate the
worms which feed underground.
Three bait recipes for worms
in the first classification were
developed by Mr. Chamberlin.
He recommends:
(a) 25 pounds of dry flaky
wheat bran, 1 lb. Paris green
or sodium fluosilicate and
water enough to moisten until
all bran is dampened; (b) 25
lbs. coarse wheat bran, V2 lb.
salt, 1 lb. white arsenic or
Paris green. 1 pt. syrup or
brown sugar, water to make a
* crumbly mash; (c) 25 lbs. bran,
1 lb. Paris green or sodium
fluosilicate and 2 qts. lubricat
ing oil (20-30 S.A.E.).
The bait is generally broad
cast over garden areas at a rate
of 10 or 12 pounds to the acre,

although a mixture up to 20
pounds an acre may be used. The
bait is best distributed several
days before planting, in the late
evening. Light showers do not
interfere with its effectiveness,
but heavy rains may necessitate
j re-baiting.
| Late spring plowing and ditch
ing are other methods of control
for cutworms. There are a num
ber of helpful insects, as well as
all types of birds, which aid in
eliminating the pest.
There are still a few copies of
Mr. Chamberlin’s complete bul
letin available at the local Ex
tension Office. However the sup
ply is limited, and more will not
be available this summer, once
the present stock is exhausted.
