How Worms May Be DESTROYED.

Keep this dough from children or do

Prompt action to prevent the

better than later efforts to attempt

The worms at first are almost al

Flowed Burrows and Poison fer New
Outbreak Of Pest That Threatens
Fields Of Wheat, Oats, Corn, Tim

Washington, D. c., 0verrun.

! WASHINGTON, D. c.. July ga
Letters, telephone messages, and in
dividual callers have been soliciting
aid from the U. S. Department OF Ag-
riculturc to stop the advance Of tho
lordes of army worms that threaten
their fields of!wheat, oats, corn, tim

There seems to be a general outbreak
Of this pest throughout the North.
east of the Rocky Mountains. These
worms arc emerging from eggs laid
by moths that apparently swarmed
up from the Southwest. Great mum

What to Do for Lawns.

For small areas like lawns and pri'
.vate grounds, the poison bait men
toned above may be used. Equally
efficient is the application of a spray
Of one pound arsenate Of lead dis
solved in 25 gallons of water. II the
powdered arscnatc of lead is more
easily obtainable. one pound of this
may be mixed with 8 pounds of flour
ana busted on the grass where the
worms are feeding. It must be re-
membered that arsenatc of lead is a
deadly poison to men and animals, as
well as to army worms.
