army worm IS
HURTING CROPS
Georgia State Board OF Entomology
Tells How To Apply Effective
Remedy

Atlanta, Ga.-Information is in the
hands of the Georgia Board Of Ento-
mology showing that the army worm
is ravaging the crops in several wide
Iy separated sections of the State,
and that there is danger of still
more serious spread of the pest unless
proper means are taken by the farm
ers to combat it.
The army worm, which is so named
because it travels in great numbers
and deyastates as it goes, should not
be confused with the cotton cater
pillar. The cotton caterpillar attacks
the leaves of the cotton plant, while
the army worm seldom, If ever, feeds
on cotton.
The army worm attacks corn, sor-
ghum, alfalfa and forage crops, and
the principal damage 1t is now inhict-
ing in Georgia is on alfalfa, sorghum
and young corn.
The army worm matches out from
eggs deposited by the moth in clus-
tiers of fifty or more on the exposed
surface of grasses and food plants.
When the worms or caterpillars hatch
out they usually form colony at first,
remaining in close proximity to each
other They grow very rapidly, and
in two or three weeks reach length
of about one and half inches. There
is a wide variation in the color mark
ing. The ground color on the back is
usually either greenish or black.
Three distinct yellow stripes are plain
ly, traced along the back. When seen
from the side, stripe is noticed just
above the legs, which may be light
gray, pink or yeilowish in color When
molested it holds on tenaciously to
the object on which it is feeding.
An Effective Remedy.
While the ravages of this pest are
serious if not checked, State Ento-
mologist e. Lee Worsham points cut
that there is an effective and easily
applied remedy, which consists Of the
use CT arsenate Of lead or Paris green
as follows:
In the case of young corn or sOT-
ghum, the poison should be applied
as a spray, using one of the following
formulas:
Two to three pounds of arsenasa OF
lead, and four to five pounds Of IN
slaked lime to fifty gallons of water.
Or, one pound Of Paris green, and
two to three pounds Of unslaked lime
to 100 gallons of water
One thorough spraying should be
sufficient, but if the pests recur the
plants should be sprayed again.
The spray, however, is only for
young corn and sorghum.
For alfalfa. and all other crops 9TH
The Lee County journal. (Leesburg, Ga.) 1904-19??, 1915-09-02

er than corn and Sorghum, Il rs much
better to apply the poison by DUST
ing, for which one Of the following
formulas should be used:
One pound powdered arsenate Of
lead to six or eight pounds Of unslak-
ed lime or -four.
Or one pound of Paris green to
twelve or fifteen pounds of lime or
-four.
How To Use Poison Dust.
The most convenient way is to dust
through bags Of eight-ounce duck. A
good arrangement is to take two bags
and place one on each end Of pole,
walking through the fields with the
pole held horizontally, or resting it on
the saddle bow if riding on horse
or mule. II. the crop is planted in
rows the pole may be cut so as to
measure just the width between two
rows, so that one bag is above each
row as the busting progresses.
The same busting combination may
be used to splendid advantage in con-
trolling the spread Of the worm and
preventing it from entering new fields.
The best way to do this is to dust the
plants thoroughly around all the edges
of the field, thus forming poisoned
barrier which the army worm caanot
pass.

portant employe in the department, and
that he will hire most of the employees
himself He will also "hre." IL the ap-
pointees do not perform satisfactory
work.
The new state highway plans will be
worked out by the board of three. They
will probably not be completed until late
In the summer, as they will include
complete revision Of the existing highway
will be the principal feature of the new
plan of work in the department.
The Senate last night unanimously con-
firmed the appointment of MIR. Cunning
ham. He succeeds Edward NJ. Bgelow,
also of Pittsl urgh who resigned at the
request of the Governor on April I. The
appointment of Cunningham had been en-

TRUST COMPANIES OBJECT
TO NATIONAL BANKS BILL
Officials Protest Against Surrendering
Business Rights to Latter.
IFnoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENCE


HARRISBURG, April II. National
bank and trust company officials appear
ed before the House Committee on Banks
and Banking today to favor and oppose
the bill giving national banks the same
powers as trust companies.
The Federal reserve act provides that
business, unless some State law forbids
their doing so. New York's State Legis-
lature. after the passage of the Federal
reserve act by Congress with this pro-
vision. hastily passed an act forbddinS
national banks to enter the trust conf
pany field.
Representative Luppert, of Lycoming
County. is sponsor for the bill which will
allow national banks in Pennsylvania to
take advantage of the provision of the
Federal reserve act in this respect,
The privileges given to the national
banks will be TO act as trustee, as eX-
ecutor, as administrator, as guardian, as
stock registrar. to collect rents, to invest
trust funds, to insure titles and to do the
manifold things which trust company
now does.
Another bill considered by the Banks
and Banking Committee today was the
Huber measure, calling for a commission
of five TO codlfy the banking laws of the
State. 1t was introduced by Repre-
sentative Ray A. Huber, of Luzerne
County. He has endeavored to obtain
the approval of the Pennsylvania State
Bankers Association of the measure and
said he has assurances that 1t will be
reported out and favorably considered by
the LEGISLATURE.

COAL TAX HEARING TODAY
Ways and Means Committee Will
Listen to Arguments on Measure.

lFRoM STAFF coRREsPoNDENTl
HARRISBURG, April 14-Another of
the Administrations revenue raising
measures, the Dawson anthracite ton
mage tax bill, will have a public hearing
before the Committee on Ways and
Means late this afternoon.
AS now drafted, the bill provides that
there shall be tax of 2Ia per cent. on
the market value of every ton of anthra-
cite when prepared and ready for mar
ket. Two-thirds of the money thus raised
Is to go to the State for the construction
of State roads and the remaining one
third to be returned to the localities
where hard coal is found.
A petition signed by all of the ten Sen
ators and 80 members of the House from
the anthracite region will be presented to
the committee. The petition urges the
committee to amend the Dawson bill in
such a way that the money to be raised
annually, approximately S,0O0,00O. will be
equally divided between the State and
:he anthracite counties. The latter are
against the Governors plan to allow
them but one-thrd of the revenue.
The people of the hard coal region are
prepared 20 carry the fight to the Gov
ernor. They have enlisted the aid of
Lieutenant Governor Frank B. McClain,
who stood sponsor for the first anthra-
cite tonnage tax bill presented in the
house. in 1908, and other Legislative
leaders.

"She's tho last one of us l would have

Above the din of II girls, all talking
at once. today, these definite sentiments
dominated. 1t was n meeting of the sur
vvlng members of the "a. N. D." circle.
There were originally IL who vowed to
each other not to wed, but, of course. at
that time could not foresee that one of
them was to be struck by an automobile.
If they could. they would have inserted
a bylaw prohibiting members from going
anywhere near the haunts of autos
But they didn't, and so when Miss Mary
X. Egan was knocked down by Lee Black
burns car on Atlantic avenue, Atlantic
City, last June, and was rushed to the
hospital by Mr.. Blackburn, and opened
her black-fringed eyes to see Mr.. Black
burns anxious face bending over her
hospital cot, and opened the door later
at her home to see Mr.. Blackburn on
the threshold, why, of course. the In
human edlct of the "a. n. D." was for
gotten. Those three letters meant 'Ao-
solutely Nothing Doing" when 1t came 10
receiving proposals of marriage.
"A-N-D-and! Why the very initials
spell trouble" commented Mrs. Black
burn (the former Miss Mary Esan), today
seated in her rolling chair on the board
walk couple of blocks from the very
place where Blackburn's auto provlden-
TALLY had struck the young woman that
day last summer. How could they en-
pect all to keep single when each one was
wearing those letters on gold pin on her
shirtwaist?"
"of course. hope she'll be happy,
but"
Thus the faithful Eleven were chorus
ing at about this time. They were not
rolling along the sunny boardwalk. They
were grimly congratulating the former
Miss Egan in colorless letters, and ex-
pelling her from the "a. n. D." circle
with just a shade of vindictive Joy,
Miss Egan lived at 15S North 62d street.
Mr. Blackburn, an automobile salesman,
lives at 2O40 North Marvine street They
were married last night and many MEM
bers of the "circle" attended a suppeF
at the Adelphia. Miss Anna DevereauH,
of 633 Thayer street. member of the
circle, was bridesmaid and the best man
was James B. Bradley.
According to Miss Mary Musky, of 2555
Emerald street, all the members, except
Mrs. Blackburn, have refused all their
many proposals of marriage

CONTINUED TODAY

Attend and Fail to Reply to
Call.

The conference on the housing situation
in Philadelphia will be continued in Har-
risburg today in response to the call OF
Attorney General Brown. The conference
| in the Department of Public Health and

as an agreement on a compromise hous-

the meeting.

resented today at the conference In Har-
risburg, together with the Real Estate
Board. the Master Plumbers Association
and the Philadelphia Housing Commits
sion. Every attempt Will be made by the
Attorney General to harmonic conflicting
views and to produce an effective but not
too drastic act
The absence of the invited Councilmen
from the conference yesterday was re-
garded as particularly significant, since
IL was Governor Brumbaugh himself who
suggested that the conference be held.
Director zegler said he had not even
received reply to his invitation request
ing the members OF Councils Legislative
Committee to be present.
Following the meeting Director Ziegler
said the present housing bill had been
thoroughly discussed, and many objec-

The principal measure In the series Is
the bill which aims to prevent fusion

belief that the Governor would sign this
measure when II reached him because Of
the strenuous fight he had against fusion
in the last campaign Another bill aims
to give the Republican party the first
