ARMY WORMS
Methods of Combating These Worms
Given Out by vi. A. G.

Reports of a dangerous outbreak
of army worms in the Thumb dis
triet of Michigan, chiefly in Sanilac,
Huron and Tuscola counties, have
been received by the Entomology de-
partment of the Michigan Agricul-
tural college. The army worm, which
derive their name from a habit of
marching like an army from one field
to another, destroy all crops they
come i'm contact with, eating or cut
ting down practically everything. Re-
ports indicate slight outbreaks in
other parts of the state They have
been reported as doing great damage
in neighboring states, chiefly Illinois
and Ohio, but only recently put in an
appearance in Michigan.
That the worms be checked in their
efforts to spread or march to new
fields is extremely important. Pro-
fessor Petit gives the following con-
troll methods:
1.-TWO methods are i'm common use
in restricting the progress of Army
worms. One depends on barrier
TO keep the worms from spreading
into new areas and the other is by
means of poison bait which actually
kills the worms. The barriers or
bitches are of the most use when the
worms are marching and threaten
new fields. The commonest barriers
ct a.
burrows, plowed around the area in
tested, and spaced or 10 feet apart.
Turn the burrows toward the advanc-
ing worms, in order that when the
worms tumble in the burrows they
will have to climb up the smooth,
land side in order to get out, then
when these burrows fill up turn them
under, thereby leaving fresh burrows
for the worms to fill Now army
worms work at night and during
lowery weather and therefore, it will
be necessary to keep watch of things
all night for the few days that elapse
fore these worms get full size and
descend into the ground.
Poison bats are most useful when
the worms are scattered and also,
they may be used in addition to the
ditching. The following formula is
one that has been very successful in
the past and which rs easily filed
"Sift together one pound of paris
green or q pound of white arsenic
mot arsenate of lead) and 20 pounds
of bran; add half gallon of molas-
ses or syrup and a little water, and
stir in three oranges or lemons.
ground fine in food-chopper, skins
and all. This may be broadcasted
over from 2 to acres of land. 1t is
very attractive TO both cut-worms
and to grasshoppers. Do not try to
substitute any other poison for the
paris-green or white arsenic. Meth
er arsenate of lead nor arsenate of
calcium will do the work unless very
large quantities of that poison are
used. Neither should one use this
bait where poultry are liable to pick
up much of it, although the bait
should be distributed in a finely brok-
en- up condition rather than in
lumpsn

WEST ARCADIA

The people of Michigan ought to be
thankful for the favorable weather
which has been given for the ripen-
ing and gathering of grain.
A letter just received by Mrs. J. II.
Allis from Mrs. Jennie Ried in Mon
tana tells of the failure of crops of
all kinds owing to the drouth. Mrs.
Reid and her son, Frank, own 800
acres and all Frank has been able to
save is by cutting crops for hay.
They are cutting Russian thistles for
winter feed
