Auburn, June 25.-(Speciai )-Entomolo-
gist W. E. Kinds, who has recently re-
turned from a trip of inspection In Mo-
bile and Baldwin counties, where the
grass worm or fall army worm first APP
peared, reports that fully $500 acres of
crops have already been destroyed. Thus
far corn has suffered more than any other
one crop, but nearly all crops may be at
tackled when the worms become pushed
for food.
Other sections of the state are also now
reporting the worms. over 40 reports
from different localities were received yes
terday at my office" states DIR. Kinds.
These extend as far north as Huntsville
and Athens.
In the experimental work In south Ala
bama most satisfactory results have been
obtained where the rough spraying has
been done, using a knapsack pump and
a solution containing two pounds of pow
dered arsenate of lead with two pounds
of freshly slaked lime per so gallons of
spray. This has given 100 per cent con-

full success only before the corn begins
to form ears. After that the worms may
work through the ears so that they cam
not be reached by spraying Many large
normal appearing ears were found by ex-
animation to have set very little grain,
as the worms cut off the silks before
the poilination had occurred. 1t seems
very certain that this years corn crop
will suffer heavily from the attack of
this pest.
DR.. Kinds issues a warning against the
use of such materials as Bug Death"
Gold Dust" etc, concerning which
items have recently appeared in the pub
lie press. These materials do not give
satisfactory results in that they may not
kill the worms while they may injure
the corn. Beside wasting the expense
for the materials and the labor of appli-
cation. the user is losing also the best
chance that he will have to reduce the
