MOTH Of TRUE ARMY
WORM IN THE STATES

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 22.-An
unusual abundance of the moth of the
True Army Worm in Maryland, vir-
giria, and the District of Columbia in
dicates the possibility of an impend
ing outbreak of this destructive pest
in the Atlantic States. The moths. the
eEtomologists 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 caterpillars to mature
their presence should begin to be
quite apparent about the last week in
July to the first week of August.
Farmers should be on the alert to
discover this pest in its younger
stages, before it has reached a large
size and has committed irreparable
damage to growing crops, especially
grasses and grains

hem while they are on the march.
Ditching.

When the army worms are moving
together in a mass they may be halted
ard destroyed by blowing or digging a
narrow ditch with steep sides directly
across their path. The worms fall
into this ditch in large numbers and
may then be crushed readily by drag
ging a log or chunk of wood back and
forth through the ditch.
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 nee
eSsary in order to procure insecticides
in an emergency, enables the army
worm to do irreparable damage to
crops. The insec Cicides mentioned
above will not spoil if kept in a dry
condition in covered containers. Farm
ers' 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.

CHANNEL NEAR ALASKA
SHOWS VERY DANGEROUS

WASHINGTON, D. c., July "a
4 report of recent survey by the
United States Coast and Geodetic Sur
vey Steamer Patterson, which is oper-
ating in Kasheyarif Passage and the
northwest end of Clarence Strait.
Alaska, indicates that the channel be .
tween Blashke Island on the north
and Rose Rock, on the south, is ex.
tremely dangerous.
Several dangerous uncharted rocks
have been discovered almost complete
ly blocking this channel. On the ex.
isting charts, which are based upon
a reconnaissance made in 1886, this
channel is shown to be clear. These
dangers were made the subject of an
advance notice to mariners issued '
the commanding officers of the Patter,
son in Alaska and by the sub-office of
the survey at Seattle, Washington. The
results obtained this season demon
ztrate the necessity for a close hydro
graphic development, supplemented by
wire-drag work, in thise waters as
soon as possible

Spray.

When the army worm is discovered
at work the infested spots should be
sprayed Immediately with solution Of
powdered arsenate of lead 2 pounds to
80 gallons of water. If Paris green be
used the spray should be composed as
follows: Paris green 1 pound; freshly
slaked lime, pounds; water, 50 gal
Ions. The lime is necessary as a pre-
ventive of burning by the Paris
green which is quite caustic when
used on tender plants, such as corn.
Poisoned Bran Bait.
When spraying is impracticable the
poisoned bran bait is recommended. 1t
is made as follows Wheat bran, so
pounds; Paris green, 1 pound, or white
arsenic or powdered arsenate of lead,
? pounds; low-grade molasses, 3 to 4
quarts.
The bran and poison should be
thoroughly mixed while dry and the
molasses afterwards added, kneading
and stirring the mash until it is easily
broken into small bits. The addition
of six finely chopped lemons has been
found to add value to the bait in some
cases. The poisoned bait should he

are at work or in their path or among

agreement signed by the Chelmsford min

constitution of the quarryworkers' un-
ion holds that bill cannot be signed
without authorization from the interna-
tional headquarters. See. Suitor stated,
too, that the Chelmsford quarrymen who
signed the agreement have been noti-
fled that they acted without authority.

VERDUN BURNING
Both East and West of the
Meuse There Was No
Movement

Paris, March 25.--The French official
statement says the past night was quiet
in the Verdun district, both east and
west of the Meuse. Artillery duels were
in progress in the Woevre region.
The French war office communication
last night follows:
'1n the Argonne following the explo-
sion of one of our mines at Nauquois, the
enemy attacked and succeeded in mo-
mentarily gaining a footing in one of
our first line trenches. We expelled him
at once through counter-attacks in which
we made about 80 prisoners.
"The activity of our artillery contin-
ues intense against the line of German
communications in the eastern Argonne
and also on the woods of Malancourt and
Avocourt.
"In the region north of Verdun no
events of Importance occurred during the
day, except intermittent bombardments
of our second lines west and east of the
Meuse. Our batteries replied energeti-
cally. Northeast of st. Mihiel the fire
by our long-range pieces on the Wig
neulles station gave good results. A
warehouse was demolished and train
which was in the station was blown up"

"'The I'd and Sd battalions of the same
regiment passed east of the village, at
the same time, going forward in squads
to the first French trenches.
"The next day the 64th regiment of
infantry of the 9Th division of the Sd
German corps replaced, to the north of
Vaux, the decimated 10Th regiment, but
the Gath sustained such loss by the fire
of artillery that the attack which be-
gan was countermanded
"The battle of Verdun, which has con-
tinued a month, has been made up of
similar episodes. The German sacri-
fees were awful.
'It is known that the Sd and 18th army
corps had to be sent to the rear after
marching to Verdun.
"1he corps had to have two-thirds of
its officers replaced and its gaps filed
up with young recruits of the class of

reinforcements, sent from the interior,
were insufficient to bring the strength
