ARMY " l RM IS PREVALENT IN
 STATES

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29. Warn, ing to watch for the army worm has been issued by the department of az riculture to people in the Atlantic states. An unusual abundance of the moth of the true army worm in Mary land, Virginia and the District of Columbia indicated the possibility of an impending outbreak of this de structiye pest. The moths, the entO- mologists of the department 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 this month.
 Farmers should be on the alert, the department says. to discover this pest in it's younger stages, before it has reached a large size and has commit ted irreparable damage to growing crops, especially grasses and grains.
