ARMY WORM PEST
IN ILLINOIS NOW
Dry Weather Favorable to
Matching and Insect Is
Causing Damage.
FARMERS FIGHT FOR CROPS
State EntomoIosist Forbes Tells of
Habits and Gives Method of
determination.

Chicago, July 25.-The hosts OF
leucania unipuncta, alias the army
worm" are marching on the crops of
Illinois. War has been declared. The
foe has laid waste thousands of fair
acres. A defensive army is in the
field. The enemy is falling in uncount-
ed millions.
The army worm pest, first reported
in the east a few weeks past, has
reached the middle west in alarming
numbers. Even in Chicago the worm
is destroying lawns and attacking
flower beds.
Out around Aurora last night the
farmers went into the fields to cut
oats by lantern light to save the crop
from the devouring worms. In various
parts of the state farmers are waging
war on the worm under the direction
of members of an automobile squad
ron sent out by Stephen A. Forbes,
state entomologist, at Urbana.
How to Kill Him.
There are many ways to stay the
leucania unipuncta. Probably none is
more satisfactory than to beat him to
death with a club. But to bring the
swiftest death to the greatest number
Mr.. Forbes gives his favorite prescrip-
ton as follows:
Take 20 pounds of bran, one pound
of paris green, and little strip. Mix
into a crumbly bran mash. Then sow
it in the evening over the troubled
area. The next day go out and count
the dead"
The army worm is a brute Of mys-
terry and eccentricity. He has NJ
trouble at all in giving life to three
generations in a season. Yet it Is
scientifically undetermined how he
lives through the long, hard winter.
The worm is but one of the metamor-
phic forms between the egg and a
moth
=. - Dry Seasons Cause Increase.
The egg produces the voracious
larva, or worm, which after a proper
period of nutrition on vegetable mat
ter descends into earth and becomes
the pupa, from which appears the dark
grey, yellow striped moth, the pro-
Queer of eggs in vast numbers.
a succession of two or more dry sea-
son encourage the army worm to
greater numbers Then come the para
sites tnat I'VE on tn0 army WOIu. Inc
scientists have detected number OF
parasites, prominent among them the
pachima. q fy-like organism, which
lays eggs on the larva of the leucania
unipuncta, and the hymen opteraus
parasites, which lay eggs in the larva.
The eggs of these parasites hatch
and presently the worm succumbs to
difficulties in his department of the
interior.
With Us Always.
"The army worm is with us always
said Mr. Forbes in Urbana last night.
"Only at periods when conditions con-
duce to its multiplication it becomes a
noticeable pest. When it is produced
in great numbers 1t is necessary for
some of the worms to travel to get food
then 1t becomes known as the army
worm. The individual worm does not
travel far"
Reports of heavy losses come from
Michigan, New York, New Jersey, and
some of the neighboring states. The
cities of Brooklyn and Bayonne have
been attacked by me worm in great
numbers. Perhaps the heaviest losses
in Illinois have been in the grain fields
around Sugar Grove.
