Farmers Of County Must Act Quick
~ to Prevent Spread Of the
Pest Over Fields.

The first appearance of the army
worm was discovered this morning
on the Howard Moody farm in Coe
township in the upper end Of the
county.
County Agent Palmer r. Edger-
ton was notified by telephone and
he left hurriedly for the scene of
the threatened invasion in hopes of
employing emergency measures in
time to prevent further damage.
The worm is capable of overrun-
ming the entire county in a few
days unless checked at the outset.
Such an event would result in
many thousands of dollars damage
in destroyed crops.
The worm was also discovered
near Erie this morning on a small
farm where 10 acres of corn was
destroyed before the pest was
found. Vigorous means are being
carried out to kill them and save
the rest of the crops.
Methods of checking the advance
of the worms are explained in in
formation given out by the state
department OF agriculture at the
University OF Illinois. The farmer
