WARNING TO FARMERS

An unusual abundance of the moth
of the True Army Worm in Maryland,
Virginia, and the District of Column
bia indicates the possibility of an i'm
pending outbreak of this destructive
pest in the Atlantic States. The
moths, the entomologists of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture report,
were laying their eggs during the first
week of July and as it takes from
three to four weeks for the caterpil-
lars to mature, their presence should
begin to be quite apparent about the
last week in July to the first week in
August.
Faramers should be on the alert TO
discover this pest in its younger
stages, before it has reached large
size and has committed irreparable
damage to growing crops. especially
grasses and grains.

Pennsy's Loyal Employees

The Pennsylvania Railroad will
have at least $4,000 men-perhaps as
many as COCOON the lines East of
Pittsburgh. pledged and ready for
special duty to prevent. if possible, a
complete interruption of the service in
the event of a strike. This is indi-
Gated by the immense volume of re-
sponses that have been pouring in at
all points on the railroad, in reply to
General Manager S. C. Longs call for
volunteers.
The freedom with which volunteers
have come forward does not mean that
a strike of the $4,000 enginemen, con-
ductors, firemen and trainmen could
fail to be serious matter, or that the
railroad could be kept in operation eX-
cept with great difficulty. The volun-
teers would have to be withdrawn
from other branches of the service,
and in some cases would require addi-
tional training for their new duties. 1t
does, however, prove that this Rail
road can count upon the complete 10y
atty and devotion of very large num-
Der of employees in any emergency.
Some of the enginemen, conductors,
tiremen and trainmen, even. have as
sured their employing officers that
they would remain loyal.
In other branches of the service, in
GLIDING the clerical and office forces,
response has been very general. An
overwhelming majority of the shop
men have placed their services at the
disposal of the Company. At all the
large shops such as those in and about
Camden, Philadelphia, Wilmington,
Baltimore, Harrisburg, Altoona, Re
novo and Pitcairn, practically every
man has offered to do everything in
his power to guard against tie-up If
the railroad.
Many pensioned employees have
eagerly written that they are still fit

for active work and ready to serve on
call. Other volunteers include men
who resigned to take up different
work but still feel the ties of the cd
loyalty. A typical letter from one Of
these men, whose father before him
worked 40 years for the railroad, Of
rs other men. including 10 ex-engine-
men and ex-firemen, "in gratitude
for the kindness extended by the rail-
road to myself and my old father"
Stockholders have offered to protect
the interests of the property in which
they are part owners. One CT them
volunteered his services free for three
months, and promise to recruit othes

81 am now nearly 70 years old. clear
headed. firm on my feet and at your
service" said letter from one of the
Soldiers National Homes. The man
who wrote it was an excursion agent
many years ago, for seashore travel.
81 would take almost unlimited
chances to remain loyal" wrote an
old employee, now we'll up in the SER
vice. who offered to do any work re-
quired.
A fireman who declared he would
not go out said: "The officers of my
division have been very good to me-
1t is my duty to do likewise. / shall
do all in my power to prevent this
trouble"
A yardmaster with 81 years of SER
vice said that not one in ten of his 100
men would strike, if ordered to. "You
would have to get gatling gun to
drive them away"
One effect of the call for volunteers
has been to increase very greatly the
number of new applications for posi-
tons in the service.

Poisoned Bran Bait.

When spraying is impracticable the
poisoned bran bait is recommended. 1t
is made as follows: Wheat bran, SO
pounds; Paris green, l pound, or
white arsenate or powdered arsenate
of lead, 2 pounds; low grade molasscs.
3 to 4 quarts.
The bran and poison should be thor
oughly mixed while dry and the mo-
lasses afterwards added, kneading and
stirring the mass until it is easily
broken into small bits. The addition
of six finely chopped lemons has been
found oadd value to the bait in some
cases. The poisoned bait should be
scattered broadcast where the worms
are at work or in their path or among
them while they are on the march.

Have Arsenate or Paris Green at
Hand.

All farmers should keep on hand a
few pounds of one of the standard in
secticides such as arsenate of lead or
Paris green because of the fact that
the delay of few hours, usually ne
cessary in order to procure insecti-
cides in an emergency. enables the
army worm to do irreparable damage
to crops. The insecticides mentioned
above will not spoil if kept in dry
condition in covered containers. Far
mers' Bulletin No. 731 contains a full
account of the army worm and may be
secured free of charge upon applica-
ton to the Secretary of Agriculture.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1916-07-29
Spray.

When the army worm is discovered
at work, the infested spots should be
sprayed Immediately with solution
of powdered arsenate of lead, 2 lbs. to
so gallons of water. If Paris green be
used the spray should be composed as
follows: Paris green, pound; fresh
ly slaked lime, pounds; water, SO
gallons. The lime is necessary as a
preventive of burning by the Paris
green which is quite caustic when used
on tender plants such as corn.

Dftching

When the army worms are moving
together in a mass they may be halt
ed and destroyed by blowing out or
digging a narrow ditch with steep
sides directly across their path. The
wo.ms fall into this ditch IN large
numbers and may then be crushed
readily by dragging log or chunk Of
wood back and forth through the
ditch.
