FALL ARMY WORM OUTBREAK
IS CAUSING A HEAVY DAMAGE


With new outbreaks being report
ed almost daily fan army worms,
which resemble the common spring
army worms, are continuing to cause
serious damage to field crops of all
kinds in the state, according to ad-
ditional warnings sent out by Har-
rison Garman, entomologist at the
Kentucky Agricultural Experiment
Station. County agents and farm
ers in all Kentucky counties have
been warned to be- on the lookout for
the pests and take Immediate steps
to control them as soon as they
make their appearance.
The most serious outbreaks Of the
pests have been reported from Car
roll, Washington, Woodford, Scott
and Fayette counties. In Carroll
county cornfields were attacked by
the pests, in many cases the blades
peing riddled and the worms work.
ing their way down among the roll
ed blades of the late paintings In q
manner similar to that of the corn :
ear worm. In Washington county
various kinds of vegetation were at
tackled by the worms, while in Fay
cite county rye and barley were the
objects of attack. The insects are
particularly fond of Hungarian
'millet, rye and alfalfa with the re-
suit that acres Of these crops are
sometimes ruined, according to the
warning.
The insects appear so suddenly
that most farmers are unable to
cope with them, Mr.. Garman said.
SPRAYING field crops is only practi-
cable if the insects occur in re-
stricted areas in which case they
may be sprayed with solution made
Of one and one-half pounds Of ar
senate Of lead powder in a barrel
Of water. Livestock should be kept
Of the sprayed areas for time fol-
lowing the application, according to
Mr.. Garman, in order to prevent a
possibility Of poisoning. The worms
may be burned out by the use Of
scattered straw or other dry mater
ial sprinlled with coal oil, while the
use of roller on infested land be-
fore the insects disappear into the
ground is sometimes the only rem
edy. When a brood goes into the
ground for pupation blowing to
break up the eartnen cells ana ex-
pose them to the birds and poultry
is sometimes helpful in controlling
the insects. The species appears to
be incompletely acclimated to Ken

soil by the lstset broods.

their appearances 4e different pests
