The OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Friday Morning, Jmte 10, 1932 RipIid Centipede Found in Various Sections; no Control Method Known GERVAIS HIGH GRADUATES 19 X INDEPENDENCE, June The small Insect which has both ered gardeners in this vicinity this spring is the- Sytnphnid, it has ; become known through In quiry made by Mrs. O. B. Lyday to the department of entomology, Oregon State college. The insect is one' of the worst garden prob lems at this time. It eats the hair like roots of seeds, such as beans, peas' and cabbage Mrs. Lyday sent a sample of the pest to Corrallls, and reply of A. O. Bouquet of the yegetable crops section, O. S. C, says in part: "While I have officially refer red your letter and bottle of in sects to the department of en tomology in charge of insect con trol neyertheless I wanted to write to you at this time regard ing this; insect inasmuch as un fortunately I am also too well ac quainted with it. It is called the Symphllif, sometimes called the garden centipede. "While it has been prevalent In the state for a number of years. It has eridently not been generally distributed until more recently. "In our vegetable crops acre age or the college, four miles from Corrallls, we ar now be ginning to experience consider able trouble from these insects Last year was one of the worst attacks especially on cabbage and cauliflower. I have found them in many gardens -in Corvallis. So far no known method of control Is available. Due to their small size and depth of soil ;to which they may go, comparatively shallow soil treatments seem to have been of little benefit. I find these in sects pretty well scattered now, for example, I was recently up on the hill land above Crawfordsville and found a bad attack on toma toes In a greenhouse there. On small acreages of land possibly some sterilization may be done but in an out-door garden. It would probably be impossible. "Frankly I want to tell you that I consider this insect one of the worst garden problems we have at the present time due to Its size, reproduction and its liv ing at various depths of the soil. Various potent materials have been used by the department of entomology but without very much success so far. Even though one should treat the seed, say with Semesan, it would apparent ly nave no errect In protecting the young plant afterward. The fine feeding roots of the plants seem to be the main food of the Symphilid. "Most of our garden insects are controlled but it is generally agreed both here and in Califor nia that no successful control of the Symphyilid is yet practiced. In California, flooding the land for a certain number of days seem to be beneficial but of course this is impossible in most instances. .4 U - -,.;.':.- . - -v: .-. m - .- .- - y '.
