Officials are warning farmers to
be op guard, for them.
G. W. Montgomery, agricul
tural representative for Huron,
said many farmers didn’t realize
until it was too late that army
worms were attacking, When the
worms are 10 to a square foot,
farmers should be alarmed, he
said.
The ag rep asked newspapers
in the county to publish recipe
’ onlyfor the ppison bran bait,
effective method of control.
The statement from the
cultural office said:
Out-breaks of armyworms
been reported in Simcoe, Bruce,
Lambton and now in Huron Coun
ty. Armyworms have appeared to
date in the Clinton, Seaforth,
Londesboro, Blyth, Fordwich and
Belmore areas in Huron County,
Usually the insect is kept under
control by parasites and other
natural control factors. If present
in large numbers and the food
supply becomes scarce as it has
in the recent dry spell, they mi
grate from pastures and hay
fields to nearby fields of oats,
barley, corn and other crops.
When mature the caterpillars
are about inches long and
greenish brown in colour with
longitudinal stripes. They feed at
■night or in the late evening. Dur
ing the day they usually lie in a
partly curled position under lumps
of earth or other cover. They
climb the plants to feed on leaves
and frequently cut off the heads
of grain. The adult insect is a
brownish gray moth with a single
white spot in the centre of each
front wing.
Control
Poison bran bait seems to be
the most reliable method of con
trol.
Bran — 25 lbs.
Paris Green — 1 lb.
OR
50% wettable DDT powder ■—
U lb.
Molasses — 1-2 quarts
Water — about 2b gallons
The poison should be mixed
thoroughly by shovelling over on
a smooth dry concrete floor until
all is green. Avoid breathing the
dust by tying a moist handker
chief or other cloth over the nose

could be dissolved in the water
along with the molasses. The
amounts given above will prepare
sufficient bait to treat one acre.
Where the armyworms are in
spring grain or wheat, the bait
should be broadcast in the eve
ning by men, moving across the
field close enough together so
that bait can be spread to give
almost complete coverage of the
ground surface.
If the armyworms are moving
from one field to another, plough
a furrow with the straight edge
toward the crop to be protected.
Sprinkle a row of the poisoned
bait on the floor of the furrow.

For All Crops
Although the weather tried
hard to rain several times this

.21 inches.
This brings the total rainfall

inches, or just over one-half
inch. This is described by offi

Station Centralia, as "abnormal”.

Huron Ag Rep G.

Rain is badly needed in most
sections of the county. Because
of this, fall wheat is ripening
much quicker than anticipated.
Other spring grains are also turn-

whole is an excellent crop and
■several fields have been cut in
the south end of the county.
Other crops such as White
beans, soybeans, sugar beets and

there is very little hay aftermath.
