Army Worms Threaten Frederick County Crops
Frederick County reports its first army worm outbreak of the year in a wheat field at Monroe Thomas’s farm near Adamstown and an alfalfa patch at Russell Wiles’s near Middletown. County Agent Henry R. Shoemaker alerted University of Maryland Extension entomologist J. L. Bissell, who prescribed poison bran balls of bran four pounds paris green ten gallons water for corn edges, with airplane dusting as an option. Farmers are urged to report infestations and apply bait promptly to protect cornfields and nearby barley fields that were stripped in past years.
