The wire worm similar to most Insects In that It has four stages in its life—1 'l>e egg;.1, the larra or.wire worm; I, the > pnpa or transformation pe riod; and. 4, the adult or small click beetle, by some called snap ping bag. The wire worm when fall grown transforms Into a small click beetle. This beetle then barrows down into the looee soil and lays eggs for an other generation of wire worms about one tenth of aa Inch long. Prom this time the worms lire and grew beneath the surface Of the son. usually about 4 to • Inches. The winter to passed by wire worms about 10 to 10 Inches below tho sur face. As spring weather approach es the wire worms come to the sur face sell where the attack Is nude on the young corn or cotton roots. About the last of May tho pupa or resting stage begins watch lasts for twenty-flro days and then the adult click beetle appears. About June IS the eggs ar* beginning to bo laid and by July 1 a new generation of wire worms Is hatched. It will be neon, therefore, that U requires about one year for tne complete life cycle from egg to full grown Insect. To control fheee Insects It is not possible to destroy them at‘once. Prom results of experiments worked out by various experiment stations, it appears that the practice of put ting some definite Insecticide or chemical In the soli or on the seed before planting is not effective. The control of this pest depends there fore directly on culture and general farm management. The most suc cessful method Is to practice deep fall plowing and planting the same land In oats and peas, for two con secutive years. The peas may be left off after the second oaL/Prop and byNJeaving the utubbie tindis- ^ugh the rummer fair re- The third planted on md In < ecutive ?ft off -nd by „— — turbed through the rumn suits can be obtained, spring, corn or cotton ts try m K P ■ < m If that land could be limed well be fore sowing the oats | a the fall, and these oats fertilized, it would give pood results. It seems that greater returns would be obtained by fertil izing the oats and peas with the fer tilizer bought for cotton and corn In case of fertilizing the cotton and corn crops when planted on tho wire vorm Infested land scarcely any crops are made and all the fer tllizer la (jone, bu,l If used under oats and peas, there will usually be enough hay made to make this prof itable. Another method is to leave the oat stubble on tho land undisturbed through the summer up to .Septem ber 15. This method of operation has proved to be successful in a great many cases as a control meas ure for this pest. ' One of the most marked cases showing the value of leaving oat rtubble on the field undisturbed is cn Mr. J. M. llishop's farm near Walterboro. In 191.1 this field un der discussion was divided Into four parts:—1. oats with stubble left un disturbed through the summer; 2. <otton; 3, corn; 4, millet. Thts year the whole field ia planted in corn. The parts where the corn and millet grew last year are vary bad ly damaged Oy wire worms at the present time. The parts where the oat stubble was left are not noticcv* ably damaged, the corn being heal thy and growing nicely.
