Arsenate of Lead Is
Advised In Eliminating ,
Tobacco Bud-worm j
The tobacco bodworm, a serious !
pest of tobacco in Georgia and Flor
ida, can be effectively controlled by
application of a mixture of corn meal
and arsenate of lead, the federal de
partment of agriculture has announc- I
ed.
The worms, the laeval form of the
pest, which hatch from eggs laid on j
the tobacco leaves by a greenish moth ]
begin their depredations as soon as
they have migrated to the buds,
usually after 24 hours after emer
gence, the report said. To avod at
tacks o fthe worms seed beds should
be tightly covered with cloth to pre
vent entranc of moths, and the plants
in them thoroughy destroyed as soon
as the beds are abandoned, the report
said. AH tobacco stalks should be
destroyed at the end of the harvest
in gseason, it was pointed out.
To combat the budworm, a mixture
consisting of one pound of lead ar-

senate and 75 pounds of corn meal,
or six heaping teaspoonfuls of the ar
senate to one peck of commeal, is
recommended. The poison should be
evenly distributed throughout the
corn meal.
The method and frequency of ap
plying the mixture are discussed in
Farmers Bulletin 1531-F, “The To
bacco Budworm and It’s Control in
The Georgia and Florida Tobacco
Growing Region,” a revision of an
eariler publication, it was said. A
copy of the bulletin may be had upon
application to the department of ag
riculture, Washington.
