PAGE THREE . y Wll GIVEN HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, MARCH 10, 1927. By DON C. MOTE, Entomologist, 0. A. C. An outbreak of the Western Army Cutworm may occur In the wheat fields of Central and Eastern Oregon this spring. Alcoholic specimens of this species of cutworm were received from Mr. Anthony Spuler with the report that they were found feeding upon fall grain near Kahlotus, Wash ington, and in one case destroyed 60 acres of wheat. These specimens were determnied by Mr. Rockwood, Federal as the Western Army Cutworm and he believes there is danger of this worm appearing in the wheat fields of Morrow, Gilliam, Sherman, Wasco, the drier parts of Umatilla, and counties south of these. The Western Army Cutworm is a pale green to dark brown worm with dark stripes on the side and 1H to 2 inches long when mature. The moth has a wing expanse of about 1 in. and is dark brown with grey markings on the forewings. The Army cutworm appears in small numbers each year and normally does uttle injury to farm crops. Under certain conditions, however, it in creases to enormous numbers and travels in armies, eating everything in its path. The injury to winter wheat usually shows up in the first two months of growing weather in the spring. Us ually it appears as bare spot or the wheat seems to be slow in coming up. If cutworms are responsible for the bare spots, the crowns and vigorous root systems of the chewed oft plants can be found by following along the drill row with the fingers and the cut worms, themselves, hiding under clods or in the Boil. The worms are most likely to be present in greatest num bers along the edge of the yet unin jured plants. If unsprouted seed or dried remains of the wheat plant are found, cutworms are not to blame. The best time to look for cutworms is from late afternoon until dark. During the hours of brightest sun shine they are hiding in the soil or under clods, feeding and moving about only in late afternoon and dur ing the night. Control. 1. Study the field carefully in the late afternoon or early evening when the worms are active. 2. Frequently cutworms will be found scattered sparingly throughout the field, and if there is a good stand of wheat they may do little harm; but if bare spots begin to appear or if the stand is much reduced, prompt action with control measures is need ed. 3. Poison bran mash Is the standard remedy for cutworms. Formula I: Coarse wheat bran 25 lbs. Salt One-half lb. White Arsenic or Paris Green 1 lb. Syrup or brown sugar 1 pt. Water to make a crumbly mash. Formula II: Coarse wheat bran 16 lbs. Sodium fluoride 1 lb. Molasses 2 qts. Water about 2 gallons. For additional information on cut worm control see Experiment Station Circular No. 70, a copy of which may be obtained from the office of the county agent. Conditions In Four Counties Look Good Conditions look the best they have in five years In counties to the west of Umatilla, according to Walter Mit chell who has returned from an ex tended visit over the state, and re ported in Thursday's issue of the Pen dleton East Oregonian. Due to the amount of rain during the winter, said Mr. Mitchell, who is associated with die Collins company in Pendleton, wheat looks better at this time than it has for a number of years. There is plenty of grass for grazing and the stockmen are happy. Last year conditions were not so good in these counties due to the open win ter the winter before and the lack of rain and Bnow. In Morrow, Gilliam, Sherman and Wasco counties which Mr. Mitchell visited prospcets for a good wheat crop are in evidence, he stated. DOHERTY-WINKLER. The marriage of Patrick J. Doherty to Miss Agnez Winkler was solem nized at St. Patrick's church in this city on Tuesday by Rev. Thos. J. Cantwell, pastor. Mr. Doherty is a prosperous young ranchman of the Lexington section, and the bride is from Siletz, Oregon, and a talented school teacher. This county will con tinue to be their home.
