Worms In Peanut Fields:
I remind you peanut
growers again to watch
your peanut fields care
fully for leaf eating by
com ear worm and fall
army worm. Last week I
observed . several peanut
fields infested with worms
and a few fields being con
siderably damaged by the
pests. Sevin is a good in
secticide to use and is safe
as far as your peanut crop
is concerned. Sevin should
be applied at the rate of
1% actual material per
acre, in other words, if you
are using a 10% material,
apply 10 to 15 pounds per
acre and if using a 5%
material, apply 20 to 30
pounds per acre.
Continue leaf spot con
trol applications of copper
sulfur, polyram regularly
every 12 to 14 days.
Soybean Insects: Again I
remind soybean growers to
examine every field care
fully for insects every 4
or 5 days and apply in
secticides as needed.
Corn Moisture Calcula
tion: Put down 100 and
subtract the actual corn
moisture, divided by 100
minus 15.5 equals the per

cent of dry (15.5% mois
ture) corn. Multiply the
total weight of high mois
ture com by the above per
cent and you have the
pounds of dry corn in the
lot Divide this by 56 and
you have the bushels of
dry corn in the lot.
Example: We have 6,000
pounds of 28% moisture
com from the field. Cal
culation: 100 minus 28
equals 72; 100 minus 15.5
(desired moisture) equals
84.5; 72 divided by 84.5
equals 0.825; 6,000 multi
plied by 0.825 equals .4,950

divided by 56 equals 88.4
bushels of dry corn.
Bagworms on Ornament
als: Last Friday "Mrs. John
Doe’’ called me and inquir
ed, “What kind of seed
Chinese Fur Trees have
that has worms in them.”
Immediately I informed
Mrs. Doe that the things
were not seed but bag
containing bagworms and
informed her what to do.
Bagworms attack Arbor
vitaes, Cedars, sometimes
Pines, and sometimes they
are found on other plants.
The worm leaves a cone
shape bag that hangs from
the leaves or branches with
the tip down. Examined
closely, an opening will be
found in the tip of the bag
through which the worm
emerges at night, feeds on
the foliage and then re
turns to sleep during the
day.
Picking them off and
destroying the bags is a
tedious and time consum
ing process. The easy and
most effective way to con
trol them is by spraying
or dusting the plants thor
oughly with a good insecti
cide such as malathion or
toxaphene. In the case of
malathion, use two tea
spoons of 57% EC liquid
or two tablespoons of 25%
wetable powder to a gal
lon of water. A repeat ap
plication may be needed in
a week to 10 days.
Extension circular No.
147 explains bagworm con
trol and copies are avail
able at our office.
I am also finding crawl
ing scale insects on some
shrubs and also aphids or
plant lice. The same mix
ture of malathion should
take care of these.
Garden Insects: I have
observed several home gar
dens in which insect con
trol had been neglected
and insects were having a
merry feast. Don’t grow
a garden and let insects
eat it or grass and weeds
take charge.
For aphids on vegetables,
spraying with malathion is
quite effective. Just re
member that you should
wait at least 7 to 14 days
after applying the insecti
cide before harvesting and
eating the vegetables. Sev
in is an excellent insecti
cide for bean beetles, oth
er beetles, corn ear worm
and other worms. Vege
tables may be harvested
and eaten three days af
ter applying sevin. Re
gardless of what insecti
cide you use, wash your
vegetables before cooking.
