The Army Worm.

The following appeared Thursday
as an editorial in the Portland Press:
Some impression apparently hay
ing been made on the browntaii moth
and the gypsy moth, comes the army
worm to plague New England. So
far as we have heard he has not yet
reached Maine. but of course he will
be here before long. AS a rule we
don't miss many things of that sort
when they are around. The army
worm marches in a solid battalion so
that when his coming is known in
advance he can be stopped by ditch
ing the territory that it is desired to
protect. But once he lands the only
recourse is to spray him with
arsenate of lead or paris green. The
army worm mobiliZes in countless
numbers, sometimes piled on one
another several inches in height
travels at an astonishing rate of
speed and devours everything in his
path. The manner of treatment
seems. however, to be comparatively
simple. although it involves hard
labor and considerable expense. The
governor of Massachusetts, has al
ready called for an appropria ton to
fight this new pest and the executives
of other states will probably have to
do the same"
The above, when shown at Maine
Agricultural department brought forth
the question.
do you want something addi-
tlonal on that?"
The Journal certainly did want 1t
and here it is, just received from the

culture at Washington:

night and hides by day, not being
generally noticed, as soon as it has
increased to such a number that its
food supply falls short it starts to
travel and, becoming holder. feeds
both night and day. The moth from
which this worm matches is brown
with a white spot on the center OF
each fore wing. It measures about
an inch and one-half from wing to
wing.
How Worms May Be Destroyed
If the worms have not yet attacked
a field the more practical was to keep
them out is to pillow burrows in front
of them, throwing the furrow in the
direction toward which they are traV-
cling. The worms will fall into the
furrow and when this is full they may
be killed either by dragging a log
back and forth in the furrow or by
destroying the worms in holes preVi-
ously dug at intervals of 20 rect IN
the bottom of the furrow Kerosene
poured on them in the holes will de-
stroy them.
If the worms are already in the
field the following mixture which Will
attract the worms and destroy them
should be spread about:
One pound of paris green (poison-
ous), so pounds of wheat bran, juice
of one-half dozen oranges.
Bring this mixture to stiff dough
by the use of dilute molasses and
scatter it amongst the worms. Care
should be taken to keep this dough
from children or domestic animals.
Prompt action to prevent the worms
from infesting a field is much better
than later efforts to attempt to kill
them in the grain. Once the cater
pillars have infested field the meas
ures necessary to destroy them may
seriously hurt or even destroy the
crop.
The worms at first are almost al
ways localized in some definite breed
ing place in the field. and immediate
efforts should be taken to eradicate
them in these small areas before they
have had time to spread. The normal
breeding place of the army worm is
in rank grass, such as is usually found
along the edges of swamps or in spots
of pasture land that have been over
fertilized. They are practically never
found in swamps because the worm
needs a reasonably dry place in which
to breed.
Clean cultivation, rotation of crops
cleaning up of fence corners, close
pasturage, and the burning over of
waste grassland in the spring or fall
are good measures to prevent re-
currence of the army worm.
What to Do for Lawns
For small areas, like lawns and
private grounds, the poison bait, men,
toned above, may be used. Equally
efficient is the application of a spray
of one pound arsenate of lead dissolV-
ed in % gallons of water. If the
powdered arsenate of lead is more
easily obtainable. one pound of this
may be mixed with eight pounds of
flour and busted on the grass where
the worms are feeding. 1t must be
remembered that arsenate of lead is
a deadly poison to men and animals
as well as to army worms.
