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.
