Wheat Periled By Cutworms In Panhandle And New Mexico

Severe infestations require most wheat land in affected areas be planted to row crops this summer and not returned to wheat until 1942. Poisoned bran bait and drilling bait have largely failed to control the worms, making the method financially unjustified.
