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 EXETER, ONTARIO, THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 22, 1954 above is dries out, may have Eighty-Second Year agri- have Jane Davis quietly cele- her ninety-first birthday i home of Miss Verna A birthday supper in her was attended by immed- and around the head. The mo­ lasses should be stirred into the water and this then mixed with the poisoned bran until it resem­ bles damp sawdust—crumbly but not sticky. If desired, the poison 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. As the poisoned bran freshly prepared bait to be added. Warning The bait described very poisonous to livestock, poul­ try, and man. Thus, the usual precautions should be observed. If bait fested spread baited is left over after the in­ field has been treated, it thinly over the already area.
