County's Grain Damage by Freeze High in Barley
By gene winters
CountT Extiislon A?ect
Freeze damace to Morrow
county's 19t wheat and barley
crop was appraised last week.
At the request of USIU. the
writer sampled wheat plants in
nearlv 40 fields of wheat in all
of the wheat crowinp commu
nities of the county. In practic
ally every sample the embry
onic head in the various stages
of development appeared heal
thy. This was not true of the win
ter barlev which was in the
boot or comtne out of the boot
when the freeze occurred. The
severely damaeed plants and
parts of fields are now easily
seen. An examination of emerg
ed heads from apparently
healthv plants show that there
may be some damage. This
would be by partial filling of
the heads.
A well-timed rain could off
set any losses now showing by
Increasing the yields from those'
plants not damaged.
Comet Ces ef Chemicals
Reduces Cut Worm I ales tattoo
Last week another problem
made itself known with the dis
covery of cut worm damage in
barley. This particular uniden
tified species of cut worm is
closely related to the wheat
head worm being about m ;
inches long, having a greenish I
body with reddish, head and a i
brown cap. I
It has been observed in the
low spots of fields. This year j
faded six-its due to cut worm j
activity may be attributed to
drought or freezing.
This particular pest feeds at j
night and mav be found dur-)
ing the daylight hours in the
surface inch of soil. I
Two materials are recom-
mended for chemical control
when the infestation warrants

trtvitment U.ith DDT and Tox-
phene have given good control
at recommended rates.
When toxaphene or DDT Is
used, do not ttvd the treated
forage to dairy animals or ani
mals being finished for slaugh
ter. Do not apply DDT after the
heads appear. I'sing the scale
of estimated acute toxic hazard
of pesticides to spravmen; most
H.m.-.-rfii li.'ini-irons less dan
gerous and least dangerous we
find DDT among those chemi
cals as least dangerous and
toxaphene rated as among those
i less dangerous.
In everv case Insecticides (as
well as other pesticides should
be applied according to the dir
ections on the label. Whenever
agriculture chemical apploca
tions are made it is a good
idea to make a permanent rec
ord of the application. Several
companies have these forms
available for such use.
Houghton Grades to Tour
County to Study Conservation
May continues to be the
month for tours. In South Mor
row county there will be the
conservation tour scheduled for
Kridav. Mav -0. Details of the
tour will be found In an item
in this paper.
This week the writer is work
ins: with the Boardman Soil and
Water Conservation District Su
pervisors in planning a fifth
and sixth grade conservation
tour this month for the A. C.
Houghton tirade school.
Spending the day with Mrs.
Lois Winchester on Monday,
was Mrs. Vera Noakes of Ilerm
iston. Mrs. Noakes, recently a
public critic of Mrs. Winchest
er's crusade for better treatment
of animals, was here in response
to correspondence the two la
dies have been carrying on in
recent weeks. The day long vis
it, reported Mrs. Winchester, led
to a much better understanding
of their differences of opinion.
