CUTWORM CONTROL
V/ith exceptions of the use of
rotenone which is not poisonous to
man, there is no new development
in cutworm aontrol.
The most successful method of
killing cutworms on field crops
or large gardens is by the use
of a poison bait usually contain
ing arsenic, Paris green, most
common poison, and the only one
available here. Directions for
use as a cutworm poison are gen
erally printed on the label,
A satisfactory bait can be made
by mixing &,? of bran with -4- to -g
lbs, of Paris green, and adding
a pint of molasses and two quarts
of water, mixing well, and allowing
to stand for several hours. An
orange or lemon mashed up in the
bait will make it more effective.
Consumer’s Union states that this
bait is not attractive to birds.
For small gardens, a teaspoon full
around the base of each plant is
suggested. Larger gardens may
be bettor baited by broadcasting
ten to fifteen pounds per acre.
Application in the evening is
most effective.
Arsenic is a violent poison and
should not too allowed to cone in
contact with foods or utencils.
Local farmers arc reporting some
success with turpentine, one
tablespoon in 5 to 32 gallons of
water,.used as a 3pray on the
ground around the plants. Some
protection is given by tarpaper
discs, placed around the pjant
stems. Another method* is that
of scattering chips or shingles
in the. gardens turning them over
early in the mornings and killing
the worms underneath.
The above methods of cutworm
control are recommended by Roland
Snodgrass a3 being effective.
Cutworms arc especially bad this
year and seem to bother •' most
in warm sandy soil.
