worm with a stripe about 1 to jj ay

that property owners keep their
tiees and shrubs sprayed with
DDT, malathion, or lead arsen- Trend Cattle are higher; Hogs are higher and Potatoes are
ace: these poisons will kill the steady
norms as they eat the foliage
f:om the plants. In severe cases ”
the caterpillars will form a web
around a twig or several branch- >
es in which they will stay and
defoliate the area Infestation is
quite common at this time of the (
year and protective sprays are
recommended weekly.
