COTTON HOI.I WORM CONTROL
OUTLINED IN NEH III LI.EHN
The cotton bollworm is known
otherwise, and known unfavorable,
a the corn-ear worm, the tomato
fruit worm, and the false budwoiin
«,f tobacco. The insect gets thtv**
nann , because it is a general feeder
land men identify it by the crop it
injures most seriously in the locality
in which they observe its work. It
should not be confused with the in-
sect known as the pink bollworm,
I which differs in habits and appear-
ance.
Under the name of corn-ear worm
it is known over most of the United
I States, and causes enormou - loss. In
I northeastern Texas, southern Okla-
homa and Arkansas, northern Louisi-
ana, and parts of Mississippi and Ala-
bama the same worm is known as the
cotton bollworm and causes an aver-
age annual loss of about $K,500,000 in
cotton.
In Farmers' Bulletin l.V.tfi-F. The
Bollworm or Corn Far Worm as a
(Vton Post, F. C. Bishopp of the
Bureau of Fntomorogy, United States
Department of Agriculture, sum-
marizes the best known methods of
control fall and winter plowing,
clean culture, selection of seed of
early maturing cotton, poisoning, and
the use of trap crops. He also men-
tions several methods of control

(ling, burning of lij'hts in the field to
attract and trap the moths, and the
distribution of poisoned sweets In
pans in the field.
These worms are cannibalistic and
eat one another. They also prefer
corn to cotton at certain stages. To
use corn for a trap crop the grower
hould plant it late enough so that
the trap corn will be in silk and tas-
sel about the time the main crop of
field corn becomes hard about the
first of August in the area where the
worms injure cotton. "If it matures
too early," ay Mr. Bishopp, "it will
act only as a breeding place for boll-
•voiins. which will mature as the ears
harden and a short tini • later trans-
form to moths which in turn will de-
posit egg.; over adjacent cotton fields,
(in the other hand, if the plants are
ii. an attractive state, the moths,
which fly quite freely, will assemble
■ii ih" corn ft in considerable distance
and deposit most of their eggs on the
corn plants. These « ggs will hatch
and the young larvae, being so numer-
> us, will destroy one another to such 1
an extent that usually not more than
' few o il of the many hatching on
the ilk of each ear will reach matur-
ity."
The wintering habit
' ' rrn affords what is
most effective method
injury by the pest. Tin
the winter in the pupal stage in th
round at a depth of from 4 to •!
inches. Thorough ploughing U> i
depth of not |. , than (i :nchos I at*:
in the fall or in the winter destroys
the cells in which the paupo winter, (
ai'd ci Id and moisture kill practically ,
all of them. Fall and winter plough-
iii^r in thi.s section is desirable in itself
and pays well in conserving moisture
and putting the ground in bitter
ap' for planting.
Other farming practices, desirable |
and profitab'e in themselves, also j
hamper the activities of the bollworm
by speeding the growth of the plant j
to a point where it is difficult for the
bollworm to attack it at the time the
worm normally leaves the neighbor-
ing cornfields. "To protect cotton
from bollworm injury," says Mr.
Bishopp. "it is important that *-ed
of early maturing cotton be selected;
that the crop be planted as early as
is consistent with getting a good
s'and; and that poor land be fertiliz-
ed and cultivation be thorough and
frequent."
Poi> ming is effective only for short
periods in the life of the bollworms.
If the worm is present and identifi-
ed in numbers on alfalfa, vetch or
cowpeas before cotton is well matured
is is possible to use poisoned bran
bait scattered thinly in the fields at
the rate of 10 pounds to the acre.
Wheat bran, ">0 pounds; Paris green
or white arsenic, 1 pound, (or powder-
