Army Worm Outbreak
Is Destroying Crops
Sussex Farmers Urged TO Take
Control Measures

An outbreak of army worm ON
grain crops in Sussex County is
taking heavy toll according to
William II. Henderson. acting cOun-
ty agricultural agent. Last year
the damage done to crops was quite
serious and indications are that the
damage will be no less serious this
year.
Farmers should examine their
grain crops carefully to determine
whether or not the army work is
present. The worm can be easily
recognized as it is Il smooth striped
caterpillar, about one and One-half
inches long The general color is
usually greeniSh. and the stripes
one along each side and broad
one down the center of the back,
are dark and often nearly black.
The stripe along the back usually
has fine. light-cOlOred. broken
stripe running down its center The
color of the body between the dark
stripes ranges from SreeniSh t,
rediSh brown, finely notified with
darker brown.
Two methods of control can cas-
lily be used prOtitahly against this
pest; first. consists of plOWin& ;
furrOw between the field in whicl
the worms originate and the sur
rounding fields into which they ar,
starting to migrate. After the fur
, row is plowed Il log should b.
dragged in it to produce Il dus

be run that Saturday at Pimlico in
nearby Maryland. One of the Della
