Outbreak of Fall Army Worm

The Fall Army worm which has caus-
ed great destruction of crops in southern
States this summer, has appeared in
several places in Maryland during the
past week. 1t has destroyed fields OF
alfalfa and millet and seriously damaged
late corn and spinach and other crops.
II has also ruined many blue grass
lawns
At the present time ii seems highly
probable that there will be another gen.
Grafton of the worms, which will appear
about the last week in September, I'M
less a sharp cold spell intervenes. or
natural parasites destroy the pupae,
which are now just below the surface
of the soil in infested fields.
In cases where crops have been de-
stroyed, the denuded land should be
plowed as deeply as possible at once.
Such land should be kept clean by har-
rowing and the planting Of any crop
should be delayed as late as practicable.
Practical tests by this department
during the past week have proven that
the poisoned cut-worm bait is the most
effective remedy where practical TO EN-
ploy. This bait is made by mixing one
half pound of paris green or pounds
arsenate of lead and one gallon of mo-
lasses. or ten pounds Of sugar TO %
pounds of bran or wheat middlings.
These materials should be mixed to-
gether thoroughly and then dampened
to make a wet mash. II should be
sowed broadcast over the infested field
late in the afternoon.
In treating corn or other similar crop,
the poison is best applied in dust form
by mixing one part of the poison to z
parts of flour or air-slacked lime. The
migration of the worm from one field L
another, or parts Thereof, can be pre-
vented by blowing deep burrows int
