Army Worms Invade
Some Chowan Crops
Pests Are Found From
One End of County
To Other
According to County Agent C. W.
Overman, the grass army worm has
struck Chowan County with spotted
force. Lloyd Overton, of Yeopim
community, had a three acre Ladino
pasture almost completely eaten up
before he observed the trouble. He
also found a heavy infestation in his
soy beans. Army worms were found
last week spotted over Chowan Coun
ty from one end of the county to the
other. “Farmers should watch their
peanuts, soy beans, pastures and oth
er crops closely for this pest,” says
Mr. Overman.
To control the army worm and other
insects that may be attacking these
crops use 20-25 pounds of 5 per cent
DDT dust per acre or 15 pounds of
10 per cent DDT dust per acre. The
insecticide should be applied as soon
as the insects are observed and before
they do considerable damage.”
