More About The Army Worm.

State Zoologist Ii. A. Surface is yet re-
ceiving at his Harrisburg office many
letters, kilograms and long distance tee-
phone calls concerning the Army worm,
which has recently made its appearance
in numbers in all parts of Pennsylvania.
The inquiries show how little people gen.
orally know about such pests. Also,
there has been great deal of nonsense
published about remedies for this pest,
some of which are too compl icated to be
considered.
In the first place the Army worm is
with us every year. 1t is nothing more
nor less than a kind of Cutworm, but &C.
cording to the natural laws which govern
the increase and decrease of all living
creatures there are seasons favorable for
its multiplication, when it appears in
greater numbers than usual, and after 1t
eats the grass and grasslike vegetation
near where the eggs we're laid from which
they hatched, the worm or larvae crawl
to other vegetation to eat, and in this
crawling they are simply moving forward
like an army, and, therefore, are called
Army worms. Some persons have the
idea that they march across the State like
an invading host, while in truth their
marching is but short distance, and
this simply for the purpose of procuring
food.
The remedy first given by Prof Surface
is the simplest and best. These con-
sisted of nothing more than either to
spray with one-half ounce of arsenate of
lead in each gallon Of water, or to apply
such liquid as sprinkle from sprinkling
cans, or to mix dry arsenate of lead with
about % times its bulk of flour, or road
dust. and dust it over the vegetation liza
BILE Ia he attacked. The dust should be APP
piled in the evening or morning while the
dew is on. A coarse pepper box contain
ing arsenate of lead and -four will protect
any lawn from the pests.

Working OUT BIC
UTILITIES MERGER
Proposed Combine Includes
Eastern Shore Public Ser
vice Plants
SEE SAVING OF
$4,000 YEARLY

BALTIMORE. Md. Aug 3.--Penn
sylvania and Maryland capitalists,
whose names have not yet been made
public, are behind the big scheme to
unite the heating, gas and electric
light companies OF the principal
towns on the Eastern Shore Of Mary
land and Delaware. It Is proposed to
form united holding company with
capital Of S1.2O0.0OO. The com
panies under consideration for merg-
ing are:
Salisbury Heat and Power Com
pany, Home Gas Company, Salisbury
Water Company. Sussex Light and
Power Company, of Hartford, Laurel
and Delmar; South Delaware Gas
Company. Of Seaford: Cambridge
Light and Gas Company. Georgetown
Light and Fuel Company, Easton Gas,
Light and Fuel Company.
The name of the company is to be
the Public Utilities Company, whose
consulting engineer has been looking
over some Of the properties. After the
reports, propositions will be made the
various companies for a price on their
properties, and II the offer is received
favorably, auditors Of the Public Serv-
ice Company will examine the books
and accounts and check up the gross
and net incomes OF the various com
panies, to see just where the purchas-
Ing company would come in.
The promoters OF the combination
point out that many thousands Of dol
lars could be saved by having these
properties managed together, instead
OF as separate companies In the
matter of Office expenses, salaries,
purchasing supplies and equipment,
and other places, money could he
saved. and many savings could be
made by connecting up some of the
smaller companies lines with the
larger concerns. doing away with the
expense Of so many power houses aud
plants.
For instance. It is pointed out that
In Salisbury the pumps at the water
plant could be connected up with the
electric company's lines and save at
least $4,000 each year in the matter Of
fuel alone. The plant at Georgetown,
Del. could be shut down. and cur
rent furnished from the Sussex Light
and Power Company. at Laurel, at a
great saving. The Easton Power
house could be dispensed with, and
high tension lines run from Cam
bridge to supply the current at Eas-
ton. II Is estimated that at least $780,
/ 600 n year could be saved by making
these various changes.

IS lacking
FOR LONG conflict
dupont Officials Say Euro
pean Supply Wouldn't
Last Armies Six Months
LONG WAR NOT LOOKED
FOR BY POWDERMAKER

A general war in Europe could not
last six months, said officials Of the E.
]. DUPONT de Nemours Powder Com
pany, who say their company has not
been called upon to ship explosives
abroad. The war would be a Smoke
less powder war" the first great war
in which that explosive was used, they
pointed out, and y prolonged conflict
was an impossibiity.
The life" Of smokeless powder is so
short that the almost inexhaustible sup
ply that would be required for a pro
longed general war could not be accum
ulated, according to the powder max
ers. All of the nations of Europe had
as large a supply as could be obtained
in years of foresight, but even this
could not last six months.
The difficulties of manufacturing
smoSeless powder dupont official con
tinued, were too great to make it pos
sibe to replenish those supplies. 1t re-
quires six months to manufacture the
explosive, and this fact alone would
make il impossible to maintain the
necessary supply.
The neutrality laws forbid the ship
ping of any powder from this country,
so the nations of Europe would be un-
der the added "a tiiculty of having to
depend upon their own resources for
their explosives.
"1he principal nations of Europe are
able to supply themselves with powder,
and have large stores OF it on hand"
! said 4. Coleman dupont, president of
| the company. "1hese stores are not
| inexhaustible, however, and | do not
look for long war;
| Pierre S. dupont. a vice-president
Of the company, said that, while the
! nations of Europe had large supplies
on hand. they would probably try
to obtain powder elsewhere. If they
! anticipated a long general war. He
denied that any negotiations had been
carried on between any European
country and the DUPONT Company.
Colonel e. G.. BucKner. another
president Of the company, and in
charge of the sale of smokeless pow
Ger to various Governments, confirm
cd the opinion that European nations
haG not enough ammunition to last
!
They are all abundantly supplied
with powder for a time" he con-
tinued. Every nation in Europe is
ready for war. For years Germany
England, Russia, Austria and Italy
have been purchasing and storing
large quantities in preparation for
such a war as is now threatened. All
Of these countries obtain their pow
der from private manufacturers
France is in a worse condition
than any OF them. II Is the only ma
tion I'm Europe that has a Govern
ment monopoly on powder, and the
grade that is manufactured there is
inferior But France has almost as
large a supply as the other nations.
The United States. Colonel Bucknel
added, was the only large nation in
the world that had not large suppl,
of powder on hand. This Govern
ment seems so certain that we vii
never be engaged in another war,
he said. that it has mad almost n,
powder on hand since smokeless pow
der was adopted. This is grave mis-
take to make, because IL would b
six months before any powder coul'
! be delivered to the Government, il
case we should have to go to war.
