CONSTANTJNOPLE, Oct. 81
General war in the Balkans was
made practically certain here to-
day when it was officially an
nounced that Turkey will mobil-
lie 100000 in two armies by

while the other will be utilized
against the Slavs on the Bulgarian
frontier.
The Servian minister to the

Fighting The Army Worm.

The Observer has received a
communication from the bureau
of entomology of Clemson COL
lege with reference to the army
worms. This outbreak is said
to be general over this state and
over this state and over the
South. The Clemson college
bulletin on the fall army
is as follows:
There is in this state, an in
yasion Of the fall army worm
on corn, grass and cotton. This
caterpillar is about l to l 1-2
inches long when grown. It is
quite different from the cotton
caterpillar. although many
farmers mistake the one for the
other. This insect which is
now in this state is not the cot
ton caterpillar which did so
much injury to cotton last sum-
mer, but is the fall army worm
which is sometimes called the
grass worm. The fall army
worm is usually present in such
small numbers that they do no
harm to the crops, but on the
other hand, eat the grass in the
fields. It is only when this in
sect gets abundant that it does
harm by eating grass, corn, peas
and cotton. The weather con-
ditions this summer have been
unusually favorable for its de-
velopment. Most tanners who
have seen the work of this in
sect realize that immediate ac-
ton is necessary for the control
Of this pes.
The two poisons that have
given the best satisfaction SO
far are powdered arsenate OF
lead Paris green. Paris green
can usually be: bought at local
drug stores, while asa RUE ar
senate of lead:is not handled by
such dealers. The arsenate OF
lead can be secured from whole
sale dealers and most all seed
houses.
