Army Worm Checked
Ravager Just About Killed
Off, Says WOrsharn

Atlanta, July Reports from
many sections of Georgia whlch
were recently visited by the army
worm which played havoc on all
crops, indicate that the ravages OF
this insect has been greatly check
ed, says E. Lee Worsham, state
entomologist. Mr.. Worsham de-
clared that it was the quick action
of the farmers in carrying out
the advice given them that saved
large percentage of the crops.
"Never before in the history OF
Georgia has a pest of this nature
been checked SO quickly" says
MIR. Worsham. ''And it is all due
to the cooperation given the farm
ers and the department of entomo-
logy by Georgia business men, for
without their aid it would not
have been possible to have sent
word to all the farmers as to how
to rid themselves of the little pests.
''When the army worm made
it's appearance in Georgia, bankers,
manufacturers and other business
interests in the state rallied to aid
us in getting information before
the farmers and by quick action in
applying the remedy the farmers
stopped the march of the disas-
trous insect.
''The cotton caterpillar will
soon make its appearance and if
the farmers will take equal pre-
caution as they did in this case
they will not be bothered near as
much as they were with the army
worm"
One hundred thousand circulars
were mailed to the farmers
throughout the state telling them
the remedy for the army worm,
on this circular was also printed
the remedy for the cotton cater
pillar and if the advice of that
circular is needed, farmers need
have no fear of the latest pest
which threatens the crops.
