The last major outbreak occurred in 1964 and a minor one dev- eloped in 1972. As of the week ending July 13th, 1973 there have been two fields reported in the area where the level of armyworm has war- ranted spraying for control according to Pat Lynch, Soils and Crops Specialist 'for Perth and Huron.

In barley fields they can be detected by awnless heads and or barley heads lying On the ground. In the daytime they remain on the ground. As the grain crop matures, they will migrate to the corn field. Gen- erally they do not feed on beans or alfalfa. While at the present time there is not reason for alarm, grain and corn fields should be Watched; according to Mr. Lynch. If arm worms are located in a field, it does not mean that spraying it warranted; however, if there are 5 or 6 per square foot, action should be taken. Sevin and malathion are recommended as insecticides. Two other insecticides are also recom- mended, methoxychlor and para- thion. However, these latter two sprays are more dangerous to the operator than the first t **a. If assistance is required in assessing armyworm infestation farmers are urged to call the nearest office of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food.
