^Washington, D. C, Oct, 13—
'.The Department of Agriculture
lias'recently received numerous
inquiries about injury by ! the cot-
fbn boll worm, especially in the
oastVrif-part of- the belt. In
many cases this insect hois been
confused with' the' boll weevil,
and several' "erroneous reports
about the o'cCurrefice of that pest
in hew regionS'haVe thus become
prevalent.
Tl*e boll worm iS' th'C larva of a
moth', and is only very distantly
related to the weevil which be
longs to the ldi’ge natural group
of beetles’ The worm when first
hatched is^ery tiny, but grows
rapidly; becohijfig finally a little
long; and'gi’eeriish or brownish in
color. The'Weevil'grub is white
and found only within the cotton
square or boll. Tt never exceeds
One-halfinch inTength.
In the case of the present out
break the injury began so late in
the season that little can be done
to protect the present crop.
Nevertheless; ;a farmer can in
sure'the'crop of the coming sea
son against injury by the pest
with comparatively little trouble
and expense!' The action that
s?hbu|d be taken wherever injury
has'occurred this year is’to pick
the cOftori as quickly as possible
and immediately thereafter to
plow and harrow the fields. This
work will result in the destruc
tion of the immature stages of
the worm which have passed just
beneath.the-surface of the soil,
In addition to the effect in de
stroying the insect in plowing
and horrowing of the fields will
have very- great Value in the way
s pf preparing fur the crop of the
following, season.
Methods of control of the boll
worm which are applicable in
different seasons of the year are
described Farmers’ Bullentin 290.
