ing the army worms from the globe. The
English sparrows were the first to rise
IN arms-or on wings-against the army
worms. and the devastation they caused
In the solid ranks of the squirmers IS
well known.
The second ally was the hen, the COM
mon. barnyard biddy. With a patriotism
second not even to the great American
eagle. the hen asserted herself yesterday
by boldly eating army worms in great
gulps.
Reports from different sections of the
country declare that a countrywide
movement among hens in eating army
worms has caused an increased lay, and
that the price of eggs may drop for that
reason.
Though this is the "off season. in the
manufacture of eggs. when hens get
dainty in the,H diet and eat only what
they desire and not what they can get,
the army worms have solved the prob
lens.
Laying Eggs at Unwonted Rate.
Now hens all over the country are
eagerly devouring the worms. and as a
result Of this meat diet are said to be
nary ''f1shin' WORMS are scorned and
allowed to squirm along unmolested by
the epicurean hens. who. or which. now
that they have army worms to eat, will
touch nothing else.
At the rate the worms are being eaten
by hens in Pennsylvania, New York and
contiguous states It is feared the supply
will not last many more weeks. Plans
are being perfected, 1t is said, to breed
the worms and keep supply on hand
for the hens.
Goldfish are the latest recruits to mani
fest hatred against army worms. OF
course. army worms do not belong to
the navy, and likewise goldfish do not
belong to any army. and SO necessarily
the conflicts betwten the two are re-
stricted by habitat
Goldfish Fond Of Worms.
But despite this fact, many naval en-
gagements are being fought these days
in the aquaria and pools of Washington
between army worms and goldfish. with
the invariable result Of destruction to
the army worms.
Owners of goldfish have found that
their pretty little piscators are fond of
army worms. Once the hand of man
intervenes and throws few army worms
into the globe where goldfish are to
sink or swim war between army
worms and goldfish is on
OF course. it is hardly fair. The army
worm Is out of his element, In the first
place, and in the second place the gold
hsh Is about 100 times as big as the
army worm. But all is fair in love and
war. for the one-millionth time.
The army worm swims for the shore.
''Hellupi' he gurgles. Then there are q
few bubbles and all is over. Recall the
episode of Jonah and the whale, and
