X. Some Insect Pesis

Copyrltflll. 1000. by American Press Asioclntlon
Ifj. ) oiiemle.H which the
fanner 1m to combat perlmjis
noiio are tuuro troublesome
limn Insects. Nothing In more
than to huvo n promising
crop of frnlt or grain nttackcil by n
horde of "lings" and greatly Injured
If not entirely mined.
InscctH/lllcc wcedH , nrc very dllllcult
( o dual with If yon go ut them ono at
a ( line , hut If properly managed they
can bo eaHlly held In check. From
the standpoint of the damage they do ,
Insects may be divided Into two
classes tlioso which attack Held crops
and those which are Injurious to fruit
mil garden crops.
There' " anP'ii mTmbor of Insects
which attack corn. While these nro
cldom present In largo enough mini-
) crs to destroy any considerable part
of the entlro crop , the money value
> f the damage they Inflict on the corn
grown on n quarter section each year
imounts to no small sum.
One of the most Important of these
) f > sts Is the corn root M'orui. The
> ggs , which are laid In the cornfield
luring August or September , hatch
( luring the next June or July. The
vorniH when full grown are about
inc'lhlnl of an Inch long and as big
round as a pin. They bore up Inside
ho roots. Injuring them so badly that
ho growth of the plant Is seriously
hecked. Often , too , the roots are so
wakened that the corn blows down
mdly. Some time during August the
vorm goes through a transformation
ailed pupation , which changes It Into
n small light green beetle. This bee-
lo feeds on the silks and tips of cars
mil lays eggs for the next year's crop
of worms.
Another Insect which lives on the
oots of corn Is the root louse. These
Ice are very small and helpless. They
ire kept through the winter in the
egg stage In ant hills. In the spring
ifter they hatch they are placed on
ho corn roots by the ants. The ants
ire very fond of a sweet lluid which
s secreted by the lice , and they take
care of them for this purpose.
Other Insects which do more or Jess
lamagc to the corn crop arc the stalk
> orer , wlrcworm , white grub , bill bug ,
cutworm , etc. These Insects live and
uultlply In grass land and from there
find their way Into the adjoining corn-
lelds. They do the greatest damage ,
lowever , when the grass land is
lowed up and put Into corn.
The damage from nearly all Insects
iU'ectlug corn , small grain or grass
can bo readily prevented by a good
By/item of rotation. This Is especially
true If clover Is used , since such In
sects as cutworms and grubs do network
work to any extent on clover. The
frequent plowing of the ground and
luingu of crops whcro a rotation is fol-
owed arc fatal to most Insects. Dam-
i go from these pests will be still fur-
her reduced If the soil Is kept so well
supplied with plant food that the
plants can get a quick start In the
spring. Treated In this way , they are
more vigorous and better able to with
stand Insect attacks.
These remedies , with the exception
of the last , cannot bo applied to or-

chard and garden crops , since these
must bo grown on the same land year
after year. For the Insects alYectlng
these crops spraying is the best rem
edy.
edy.The
The principal insect that attacks the
apple Is the codling moth. These insects -
sects pass the winter In n ball of silk ,
or cocoon , which they spin around
themselves. These cocoons are hidden
beneath the bark and uiulcr rubbish.
Such as Ijappen to escape the hungry
search of iwodpcekers and other birds
Mmngo to the pupa stage in the spring
In this stage changes take place in-
eldo the body of the worm which so
transform it that early in June It
comes out of the cocoon as a small
brown moth.
These moths lay great numbers of
eggs , which hatch into small worms.
Those worms cat their way into the
npple through the blossom end. The
apples thus affected usually fall off ,
hnd in n short time the worms crawl
out and again spin cocoons around
themselves. The Hfo cycle la lived
over agnln , and n second brood of the
moths appears about the middle of
July. It Is this brood which does the
most damage. It is the worms which
hatch from the eggs laid by them that
are so often found lu fall and winter ,
apples.
Many poisons , of which parls green
is ( he one most commonly used , nrc
effective In destroying the codling
moth. Paris green Is usually used In
connection with bordeaux mixture ,
which is a remedy for the various fun
gous diseases which affect the leaves
nnd fruit.
To make this mixture dissolve five
pounds of copper sulphate and five
pounds of lime separately in twenty-
llvo gallons of water each. When they
nro thoroughly dissolved mix the two
solutions and add four ounces of parls
green. The lime In this solution is
added to prevent the chemicals from
injuring the leaves nnd to make the
mixture stick better.
Three sprayings are BUfllcleiit for the
codling moth. The first should be giv
en Immediately after the blossoms
/all , the second from ten to twenty
days later and the third about the last
of July.
One of the chief insect enemies of
the plum and one which also attacks
many of the other fruits is the curcu-

Ho. The curcullo beetle lays Its eggs
lu the young fruit shortly after It seta.
In doing so it leaves n half moou
shaped scar , which Is its trademark.
One of the surest ways of getting rid
of this insect is to Jar the beetles
from the trco at this time.
Spraying is also nil effective remedy.
The bordcaux-parls green mixture
inuy be used , but nrsenato of lead is
better , since it is less liable to injure
the leaves. It is applied at the rate oj
three pounds to fifty gallons of water.
The spray should bo applied Just be >
fore the blossoms open , Just after they
fall and again about fifteen days later.
Poisonous sprays should never be ap
plied to fruit trees while they arc lu
blossom. It is not necessary in ordei
to destroy the insects and will kill
many of the honeybees , upon which
the blossoms are so dependent for pol
lination.
The Insects that have been men
tioned so far live by eating the leaves
and fruit and in doing so take up
enough of the poison to put an end to
their dostructlvo work. There is an
other class of Insects , however , foi
which such remedies are not effective.
These are the sucking insects , ol
which plant lice arc the most common
examples. Insects of this kind feed
by drilling through the outer layer of
the leaf or bark and sucking the plant
Juices. They thus escape damage
from any poison which may bo on the
surface.
To get rid of sucking insects some
substance which wlU kill by coming in
contact with them must bo used.
There is nothing better for this pur
pose than kerosene emulsion. This Is
made by dissolving half a pound of
soap in a gallon of boiling rainwater
This mixture Is then taken from the
stove and two gallons of kerosene add
od. The compound should be churned
violently for a few moments by pumpIng -
Ing it up with the spray pump and
back into the pall. This causes the
oil to mix thoroughly with the water
Before using , this original mixture it-
diluted with six to ten parts of wa
tor.
tor.A
A common insect affect Ing garden
crops and one that is hard to handle
is the striped cucumber beetle. This
is a serious enemy of cucumbers ,
squashes , melons and other plants ol
like nature. Spraying docs little good
and Is liable to Injure the tender plants
as well. "Where but a few hills arc
raised , covering them for the first
two weeks with a small box with mos
qullo bar stretched across the top la a
good preventive measure. Another ef
fective plan is to go over the patch
in the morning while the dew is on
and the beetles cannot fly , knock them
to the ground by giving the plant n
slight blow and put a drop of kerosene
on each one.
Where any of these crops are raised
on a largo scale the most effective
remedy Is the use of "trap plants. "
Plant the field to squashes a week or
ten days before time to plant the main
crop. The beetles arc especially fontl
of squash plants and will gather on
them In large numbers as soon as they
come up. Just about the time the oth
er plants begin to peep through the
ground the squashes can be sprayet
with very strong kerosene emulsion
This will destroy both tlio squash
plants and the beetles. There wll
usually not bo enough of the latter lef
In the neighborhood to do much dam
age.
