World of Wheat Warns of Cutworm Damage in 1947
The Dominion Entomological Laboratory at Lethbridge Alberta forecasts significant cutworm damage for the 1947 season. It urges leaving summer fallowed fields undisturbed during August and the first half of September to prevent moths from laying eggs on weed-free damp crusted soil. Avoid animal traffic on such fields after July 31 to prevent crust disturbance. The method, proven effective by experience, reduces next year’s cutworm damage.
