may be destroyed by poisoning

of the growing corn. They will
readily eat the grass and be poi
soned. A pound of Paris green
should be thoroughly stirred into
one hundred gallons of water
and the grass dipped in it, or the
poison-water may be sprayed on
and the grass cut and carried to
the field; dipping the grass will
probably be preferable. Another
good poison bait is what is known
as poison bran mash. This bran
mash may be used instead of the
poisoned grass, but on a large
scale it would, Of course, bemore

O
WORM CORN
j. B. Jarrett, ~Entomologist.

1880 as=r
very abundant and is seriously
iniuring the corn crop. We are
receiving many letters asking
for information about this pest;
therefore the life history and
habits will be briefly stated and
Of control given.
The worms pass the winter in
the ground about half an inch to
an inch below the surface, and
the moths emerge in the spring
at the approach of warm
weather, and the females lay
their eggs on the different
grasses. The eggs hatch in
about a week, and the worms
then feed on the grass until full
grown, which is usually 2 to 3
weeks, and then go under the
ground, where they remained
for a period of one to two weeks
before emerging as adult insects.
From this it can be seen that we
may expect about four broods in
this latitude.
The natural food plant of this
insect in this section is grass,
crab grass preferred; but when
conditions are favorable and the
worms become very abundant,
as they are at present, they will
attack practically all of our culti-
waited crops. Corn, cotton n,
sugar cane and most Of the sta
pie crops grown in Louisiana
suffer more or less from the at
tacks Of this pest, but corn is
the favorite among our Louisi-
ana products, and it is this crop
that is being most seriously dam
aged at present. Usually in
sect pests of this nature occur at
infrequent intervals, and not
often do we have them two years
in succession. The reason for
this is that the natural enemies,
which all insect pests have, get
control and prevent rapid multi
plication. When we have some
unnatural or abnormal condition
which destroys the natural enc
mics, but does not seriously in
terfere with these pests, we
may then expect serious dam
age. We have ground beetles,
ants, small Wasp-like parasites
and certain species of flies which
prey on these Army Worms and
usually hold them in check, but
the past winter has been very
severe on these natural enemies
and has so reduced them thai
this pest has been given the op.
portunity to rapidly multiply
without any natural check. til is
possible that the natural enemies
may become abundant enough
to control the Army Worm when
the next brood matches out, but
we are unable to tell whether OF
not this will happen; so, there
fore, our farmers should be pre-
pared to combat them.
As the natural food plant OF
these worms is grass, all grass
fields should be ploWed under OF
closely grazed with cattle,
horses, sheep and hogs in order
to prevent these insects from
breeding and developing in large
numbers. Especial precautions
should be taken to prevent the
growth Of crab grass, as it is the
faVorite food of the pest in this
locality. Where grass lands in
waste or idle places are found
infested, many of the worms
may be destroyed by running
over these areas with a heavy
roller Of some kind. In some
instances it may be practicable
to NOW grass lands in order to
destroy the food of these worms.
They may be destroyed on corn,
cotton or any crop which they
attack by busting the foliage

however, than the arsenate Of
lead, and is more commonly
found throughout the country;
therefore, the majority of farm
ers will be able to procure the
former poison more readily than
the latter. The poison may be
applied with one of the common
dust guns manufactured for this
purpose, or bags made of osna-
burg, or cloth of that nature,
may be used and the poison
sifted from them on to the
plants. These bags are usually
made about ten to twelve inches
long by four to six inches in
width, open the whole length on
one side with both ends closed.
A strong board about two by
two inches and four to five feet
long is used with a bag tackled
to each end. About five inches
from each end of the board a
one-inch hole is bored and stop
ped with a peg or cork. The
peg is removed and the poison
put into the bag through these
holes. By jarring the board, the
poison is sifted from the bags on
to the foliage of the plants. It
is best to make the applications
of poison in the early morning
before the wind rises, but in
case it should be necessary to
make applications when the wind
is blowing, it is advisable to at
tach pieces Of duck, or cloth of a
similar nature, to each end of
the board in such a way that
they will act as curtains and
force the poison down on to the
plants and prevent it from being
blown away. These pieces Of
cloth should be long enough to
trail down well behind the bags
and catch all of the poison be-
fore it can be carried away by
the wind. It is very important
that the poison be forced down
into the bud in order to catch
the worms which feed there.
Where worms are found album
dant on grass near fields Of corn,
the grass on the borders of the
field should be well busted with
Paris green-lime mixture in or
der to poison the worms as they
migrate from the grass to the
corn.
With the abundance of worms
now present, it may be pre-
dicted that large numbers OF
moths will emerge in time to fly
into the areas which have been
overhowed this season and in.
fest the late planted corn Of
those localities. The overflow
has destroyed, or driven away,
practically all of the natura.
enemies, and, therefore, we may
expect to see the Army Worm
abundant before these friends OF
the farmer can return in sufficient
numbers to control the situation.
Under these circumstances, it
will be advisable for the planters
in the overfioWed districts to pro
cure a supply Of Paris green or
powdered arsenate of lead and
be prepared to combat this pest.
The number of applications Of
poison which should be made
will depend to a considerable ex-
tent on weather conditions. #
rain should occur soon after the
application was made, it might
probably be necessary to repeat
it.
As a general rule insects which
devour the foliage of plants can
be readily destroyed by the use
of ~arsenical poisons. such as
Paris green or arsenate of lead,
SO, therefore, these insecticides
may be used for controlling al
kinds of caterpillars or worms

Telephone service, linking together city and country and shore,
is never more appreciated than during the summer months.
While the business man is confined to his desk in the city, the
telephone keeps him in touch with wife and family, though they
may be many miles away, summering at some pleasant resort.
During his own vacation the business man relies upon the tele-
phone. He is free from care, for he knows that he can be reached
at one by telephone should important matters require his attention.
At the vacation home also, the telephone proves SO convenient
in arranging games and outings with friends and ordering sup
