LOOK OUT
For Army Worm Moths With
One-COIOred Wing
Public Asked To Assist In
Exterminating Pest

Washington, d. c., Aug. 28-Every-
one interested in the destruction of
the army-worm pest is being request
ed by the U. s. Department of Agri-
culture to look out for army-worm
moths with one artiicially-colored
wing. The Departments entomolo-
gists are catching army-worm moths
where they are plentiful, coloring one
wing of each, and then liberating
them in the same territory, so that
they may determine whether these
moths fly directly west, or north, and
how quickly and far they will spread,
better knowledge of the habits of
this pest should enable the Depart
meat to control it's spread. No moths
are to be let loose where their liberia.
ton could possibly add to the natural
damage.
TAe moths are already showing
themselves in Virginia and in Mary
laad, and the Departments agents
are catching specimens at Ports
mouth and Charlottesville in Virginia,
and Hagerstown in Maryland. The
agents at Portsmouth are applying a
red stain to one wing of each speci-
men caught; those at Charlottesville
Il black or yellow STAIN and those at
Hagerstown, a violet color. Then
the moths are left to follow the nat.
uraI course they would have pursued.
Look for the army.worm moth
with a colored wing during the com
ing month";" the Departments Bureau
of Entomology is advising its agents
| east of the Mississippi Any one OBJ
serving specimen will aid in the
campaign by reporting the fact to the
Bureau OF Entomology, Washington,
D. c. When its presence has been
noted, the moth should be destroyed
How to- Recognize the Moth
The wings of the army-worm moth
when outspread. measure about l IL
Inches from tip to tip The body is
about half this length. The general
shape of the moth with its wings out
spread is triangular, The moths will
hover about the lights in the evening
On farms, they will be found on the
outside of screens and doors al
night. They will probably not be oh
served is the day time. On dark hot
close night, such as precede thunder
storms, they will probably be espec
iaHy noticeable.
The army-worm pest has caused
considerable damage to the crops and
lawns this summer throughout the
northern United States east the
the Mississippi. The worms are only
now disappearing in northern Maine
and Michigan, which We're probably
hatched from the eggs of moths mi
grating from more southern portions
of the country With the additiona
knowledge that this experiment will
give, the Department hopes to con
troll the spread of the pest more com
pletely in coming years.
