DANGERS OF THE SEASIDE
spond to the Powerful stlmu-
lus Of the Air.

As a rule there is nothing to be
said against the quality of sea air;
it is cool, pure and clean, its supply
is unlimited and wei fresh, and yet
there may be found by medical men
q reason for warning their patients
about the drawbacks of the environ
ment. The amusements offered at
the seaside may be 30 varied COM
pared with those of a quiet country
life that the temptations of fishing,
bathing, sailing and water sports in
general are difficult to resist, even
although it is the visitors common
experience time after time that the
sea does ont exactly suit his general
health. 1t is a mischievous idea in
the layman's mind that the remedy
for all weak states of health is nee
~essarily sea air. It is not always
that the individual seeking strength
can respond to the powerful and ex-
citing stimulus of the bracing sea
air; the digestive, ~secretory, circu-
latory and eliminatory systems may
be goaded to an energy of which
they are incapable by reason OF a
general debilitated condition; they
are not able to do their work without
exhaustion and the last state Of
that man may be wors than the
frst.-The Lancet.

toe crop.

Arsenate of lead, Paris green
or other arsenical poisons may
be used either in the powdered
form or mixed with water. When
Paris green is used in the dry
form, it should be mixed with
about fifty parts of flour, lime,
or road dust. When mixed with
water, one pound of Paris green
may be mixed with $50 gallons
Of water and about two pounds
of lime should always be added
to prevent the Paris green from
burning the foliage. Arsenate
of lead can be applied in the
same manner, but two pounds of
this substance should be used in
stead Of one of Paris green. Care
must be taken not to use the
sprayed plants as food for man
or beast until one or two good
rains have washed the poison off.
After this, there is practically
no danger.

corning this pest to the Ento-
mologist, Agricultural College,

The Southern Grass Worm, or
The Southern Army Worm.
BY r. w. Harmed.

by II. w. Harneo.
During the past few weeks
there has been a serious out
break of the Southern Grass
Worm or Southern Army Worm,
along the Gulf Coast in Missis-
sippi. Correspondents fromJack-
son, Harrison and George coun
ties have sent these insects to
US. 1t is quite likely that the
insects also appeared in other
counties. In the region where
these insects appeared in large
numbers they have DESTROYED
almost all of the corn and oats
and have also seriously damaged
sugar cane and other crops.
This insect should not be con
fused with the cotton worm or
cotton army worm that was so
abundant during the summer and
fall of 1911, nor with the true
army worm of the Northern and
Western states.
History.
This is one of the we'll known
insect pests of the Southern
States. 1t is liable to occur at
any time and is capable of doing
a great amount of damage. The
Bureau of Entomology of the
United States Department of
Agriculture records a'serious out
break of this pest in Lafayette
and Marshall Counties, Missis-
sippi in August, 1884. The only
other outbreak of this insect in
this state that we have any
record of occurred during August
1907 in Oktibbeha, Lowndes,
Monroe. Clay and Noxubee Coun-
ties. At that time the worms"
did much damage to Johnson
grass and other grasses, and also
to alfalfa and other leguminous
crops. Practically the only meas
ure that the farmers used was
to go into the fields at once with
moving machines and cut the
grass and alfalfa before the
worms" could eat it up.
Life History and Appearance.
There are, beyend doubt, at
least three and possibly as many
as six generations of these in
sects each year in Mississippi.
The eggs are laid in masses up
on the food plants and are seldom
noticed. They hatch into
worms" or larvae and these
usually 90 unnoticed except
when very numerous a nd, even
then, until they are nearly
grown. At that time they are
about an inch and a quarter long;
they vary in color from light
brown to black. but always have
stripes running lenethwise.
These stripes vary in color, but
are usually yellow. A very few
hairs are always present, and
small black spots can always be
seen if the worms" are closely
examined. When full grown
these worms" go into the
ground and transform to the
pupa stage just below the sur
face of the ground. In about
one week the adult woths ap-
pear. These moths fly at night.
They have dull grayish- brown
fore wings and white hind
wings.
Food Plants.
These insects seem to prefer
grass plants and small grains
such as oats and rye. Next to
these, they seem to prefer corn,
especially when it is young.
However, they will attack almost
any succulent plant. In 1907
they did mnch damage to alfalfa

them, therefore it is always
safer for Mississippi farmers to
send some of the insects when
found to the E~ntomologist, Agri-
cultural College, Miss, for
Identification.
Methods of Controlling.
In the case Of hay crops it will
usually pay to begin using the
moving machines as soon as the
worms are noticed. The now
ing will destroy many of the
insects, and, as the hay becomes
dry, it is not relished by them
so that usually most of the crop
is saved.
In gardens and even with corn
and other field crops, hand pick
ing will usually pay. Prof. Nor
gan, now of the Tennessee
Experiment Station, states, AS
these caterpillars feed in the
cool of the morning and evening,
they may be found on the outer
leaves of the corn, and with a
stick and a wide mouthed vessel
great quantities can be hand pick
ed. Two or three pickings will
relieve a field almost entirely,
and will be the means of saving
toe crop.
