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.
