Pale Western Cutworm Infestation Threatens Utah Wheat
An entomological report notes that about 500 acres of dry farm wheat in the Tar Valley and foothills near Lehi have been wrecked by pale western cutworms. Infestations span Utah valleys and nearby counties with severe losses in 1934 and increased in 1935. Control relies on soil crusting through summer fallow and careful plowing to hinder egg laying, since the pest feeds underground and avoids crusted surfaces.
