Catworm
There are * great many species
of cutworms. The type of injury
differs. Generally the plants _re cut
off just >sbove, at or just below the
surface of the soil. Some climb the
plants and eat off the leaves. The
worms are found in the soil close to
the stems of the plants they have
cut off. Crops seriously injured arc:
corn, cotton, csbbagc, tomatoes and
tobacco.
The cutworms generally pass the
winter in the larvael stage, diging in
the soil, under trash, or in clumps
of grass. Feeding starts in the spring
and continues until early summer.
Remaining in the soil, the larva
changes to pupa and adult There is
casually just one generation a year,
bat sometimes two. The moths lay
eggs on stems or behind leaf sheaths
of plants. The moths apparently live
Into in the fall in Georgia and lay
eggs on the fall-sown w"«tcr legume
plants. Some lay eggs on the bare
ground. The ctdworms from the
lain eggs than attact corn planted
after winter legume crop.

Farm purchasing power on the
average throughout the United 6tates
has been 25 per cent higher during
the first nine months in which bene
fit payments have been d : otributcd
through the provisions of the Agri
cultural Adjustment Act than in th<
corresponding period of the previou
year.
This is the conclusion reached by
I* H. Bean, economic adviser b
Agricultural Adjustment Adminis
tration, followng a study of the
wires farmers receive for the pro
ducts. compared with the cost of
commodities farmers buy. Cash in
come including benefit payment'
during this nine month period in
creased 38 per cent, but this increase
was partially offset by an increase : b

Benefit payments on production

nearly one-fifth of the net increase
of 25 per cent in purchasing power.
Fombe flrrt four months of 1934,
the net increase In farm purchasing
power was 28 per cent over the firs*
four months of 1933.
Mr Bean’** study also shows that
the purchasing power of the farmei
increased somewhat more than th*
piirchas’ng power cf the country as

of 1934. During this period, the tota 1
national money income, inc'uding the
distribution of emergency funds, wa*
nbout 20 per cent higher than in th r
corresponding period of 1933, but the
cost of living for the country as p
