FALL ARMY WORMS,
LOOK OUT FOR Them

The Fall Army worms are now,
showing themselves in various parts
of the county. They are feeding on
the Russian thistles and other ten
der weeds and grasses. They will
move from these to the gardens and
grain fields when the weeds are
gone.
Description of Fall Army. Worms
The newly Matched fall army
worms are very small and have JET
black heads and white bodies. They
feed near the surface of the ground.
From two to three weeks after hatch
ing, the fall army worms are full
grown. The worms are now dark
colored with white stripes. (Some
vary from light green to almost black
and about ia inches long. In this
stage the Fall Army worm closely re-
sem les the true Army worm.
Control Methods
1. Provide yourself with spray
ing apparatus and keep on hand sew
eral pounds of some standard insec-
ticide such as arsenate Of lead, arse
nate of zinc, or Paris green. Never
use white arsenic on plants; it will
burn them).
2. Watch carefully the grass and
uoodc oroxx,;y,r a,.o,,pd ond ~ o,,l+;
waited fields and upon first indication
of the presence Of the worms apply
the poison spray as for potato bugs.
3. In case of a general invasion,
after the worms have gone down into
the ground in order to change the
next stage in the life of worm give
the ground light cultivation where
ever this is possible. Follow binder
with disk.) This will cause the
death of many Of the Fall Army
worms.
4. When the caterpillars are on
the march, or are starting in on one
corner of a field, head them off by
poisoning deep furrow by dragging
log through it. Where a whole field
is infested, pillow. furrow around it
so as to keep the worms out of the
surrounding fields. Keep the burrows
free from rubbish so. that the worms
will have no means of crossing to
| the farther side.
S. Spray infested grass and other
vegetation that has no value with a
mixture of two pounds Of Paris green
and so gallons of water Do not use
sprayed grass or vegetation for for
age, or hay, crops intended for use
at considerably later date with one
of the following:
a. Arsenate of lead powdered
form), / ID. to so GAL water. b. Ar
senate of lead (paste form, 2 lbs.
TO so gallons water. Never use white
arsenic on plants; it will burn them)
6. An immense amount of good
can be accomplished in destroying
these worms by the use of poisoned
bait which is scattered broadcast ov-
er the infested kelds. Mix SO pounds
of bran with 1 pounds of Paris green
Tor two pounds of Powdered lead Ar
senate) two gallons of low grade mo-
lasses and finely chopped lemons
Mix poison, bran and lemons first
then add molasses.
Caution: Do not pasture stock II
fields where the grass or other crops
have been sprayed with a poison mix
ture until after heavy rains have fall
en- and not before three weeks aftel
the application of the insecticides.
