Prompt action la neceaaary for ton-
trolllDg cutworms after their presence
haa become noticeable In the spring.
When the corn or other cereal haa be-
gan to sprout, which la the time the
worma usually begin their depreda-
tlona, delay in applying remedlea may
prove disastrous to the crop. It Is
usually too late to write to the depart-
ment of agriculture for advice aa to
control measuree and await a reply.
The Importance of recognising these
Insects and knowing how to control
them Is therefore evident
Cutworm Injury almost 'invariably
occurs In the spring, the plsnts usu-
slly being cut off at the aurface or a
little below the surface of the ground.
Aa ststed. this Injury begins as soon
as the first plants sprout and continues
nntll late June or early July, when the
worms have become full grown. Feed-
ing takes place at night, the worms
resting during the day beneath debris
or In the soli st s depth of from one-
half to one Inch below th* surface
and elnce they closely resemble the
color of the soli la most cases the
cause of the.Injury la often not ap-
parent. If the soil surrounding the
cut-off plant be examined carefully,
however, the culprit will quite likely
be found curled up In the aoll aa lllua-
trated (Fig. t. C).
Life History of Cutworma.
The various cutworms are known
under a number of popular names,
aucb as the glassy cutworm, greasy
cutworm, variegated cutworm (Fig. I),
spotted cutworm (Fig. 2). etc, but the
Injuries mused by them are very simi-
lar aad their hsbltsln general are also
much the same. The perenta of cut-
; worma are grayish or brownish moths,
ar "millers." which commonly occur
at llghta during aummer evenings.
Bscb moth may lay from 200 to 000
I eggs, either in messes or singly, la
fields covered with dense vegetation,
and hence are- to be found more ofteq
la cultivated fiefc* which have been
In grass or weeds the preceding fall.
The eggs lytcb Jn the fell, a few
waeka after they are laid, usually dur-
ing September, and the young cut-
worma. after feeding oo grass snd
other vegetation, pass the winter as
psrtly grown caterpillars. If sacfa
Infested fields are left to gram no no-
ticeable Injury la likely to occur. but
Late toll and winter plowing of
grasslands, although not aa effective
aa early plowing, frill destroy many of
the hibernating cutworms* aa well aa
