OLORUU THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28. 1915 ARMY WORM HURTS CROPS Georgia Board Entymology Tells How to Apply Remedy. Atlanta, Oa. —Information Is In the hands of the Georgia Board of Ento mology showing that the army worm Is ravaging the crops in several wide ly separated sections of the State, and that tbare la danger of a still more serious spread of the pest unless proper means are taken by the farm ers to combat It. The army worm, which is so named because It travels In great numbers and devastates as It goes, should not be contused with the cotton cater pillar. The cotton caterpillar attacks the leaves of the cotton plant, while the army worm seldom, if ever, feeds on cotton. The army worm attacks corn, sor ghum, alfalfa and forage crops, and the principal damage It Is now inflict ing in Georgia Is on alfalfa, sorghum and young corn. The army worm hatches out from ogKs deposited by the moth in clus ters of fifty or more on the exposed surface of grasses and food plants. When the worms or caterpillars hatch out they usually form a colony at first, remaining in close proximity to each other. They grow very rapidly, and in two or three weeks reach a length of about one and a half Inches. There Is a wide variation in the color mark ing. The ground color on the back is usually either greenish or black. Three distinct yellow stripes are plain ly traced along the back. When seen from the side, a stripe is noticed just above the legs, which may be light gray, pink or yellowish In color. When molested It holds on tenaciously to the object on which it is feeding. An Effective Remedy. While the ravages of this pest are serious If not checked, Slate Ento mologist E. Lee Worsham points out that there Is an effective and easily applied remedy, which consists of the use of arsenate of lead or Paris green as follows: In the case of young corn or sor ghum, the poison should be applied as a spray, using one of the following formulas: Two to three pounds of arsenaW of lead, and four to five pounds of un slaked lime to fifty gallons of water. Or, one pound of Paris green, and two to three pounds of unslaked lime to 100 gallons of water. One thorough spraying should be sufficient, but if the pests recur, the plants should be sprayed again. The spray, however, is only for young corn and sorghum. For alfalfa, and all other crops oth er than corn and sorghum, it Is much hotter to apply the poison by dust ing, for which one of the following formulas should be used: One pound powdered arsenate of lead to six or eight pounds of unslak ed lime or flour. Or one pound of Paris green to twelve or fifteen pounds of lime or flour. How To Use Poison Dust. The most convenient way is to dust through bags of eight-ounce duck. A good arrangement is to take two bags and place one on each end of a pole, walking through the fields with the pole held horizontally, or resting it on the saddle bow if riding on a horse or mule. If the crop is planted in rows the pole may be cut so as to measure just the width between two rows, so that one bag Is above each row as the dusting progresses. The same dusting combination may be used to splendid advantage in con trolling the spread of the worm and preventing it from entering new fields. The best way to do this is to dust the plants thoroughly around all the edges of the field, thus forming a poisoned barrier which the army worm cannot pass. t TTTfTTTTTTfTTTTTTTTTTTTT¥?T¥TTTVTVfT¥TTT'I , TTfTTTTTfT* j PLAN YOUR VACATION FOR ] t The Land of the Sky 5 ► •* l 3 t Tile one place whore you \iill most 3 t Enjoy a Vacation for Rest J l or Recreation 3 » << i HENDERSONVILLE WAYNESVILLE ; l HOT SPRINGS, TRYON, BREVARD \ l SALUDA, FLAT ROCK l t . . 3 ► Are a Few of the Most Noted Resorts J l GOLF, HUNTING, TENNIS, MGUNTAiN CLIMBING 3 1 RIDING, MOTORiNG, DRIVING J l LOW SUMMER FARES- Through Car : t 3 ► Service from Many Important Points. 1 l 3 t For Information and Literature Address tR.
