AKOIJf TUB AKMV WORM Wt rwf. OmtiM T*th Am4t rmm Ttfto Not U Worry. Awtorson Dally Midi. Wednesday. *Tb?re In no use to worry about the ?nay worm* at present," aald Prof feasor Onradi, bead yf tbe eut<*noU>try department of tb# extension aerric^ of Glemson college this morning. "Tbe jfafestatlon bore oeerns to b? a light one. and tbe gjaraslte, natural enemies Of tbe wormM are w?ll developed. Tbey WIN dispose of tbe worm* far quicker than we could do It." I'rofeKHor Conradi came to An<|enK>u at tbe urgent request of certain farmers who telephoned Olemson eollege wben tbey found tbelr cotton and alfalfa pntchex pretty well overrun wllli the p<*t. He earne to Anderton at once to examine the worm* and to see whether or not tbe iv was any use In starting atrtlflcial methods to try to kill the I worms, or whether or not It would l>e t>? M to lei nature take its course. "My ad rice at tbe present," Katd Professor Conradi "is to do uothing. 'l'he pura sites will dispose of the worms before they <lo very mueb damage." Professor Conradi probably knowa tnore about bug* and Insects than any other man, in South Carolina and bis explanations to farmera and others are each that the farmer readily under stands the problems the chief is at tempting to explain. Tbe army worm develop from eggs which are la .ved by a motb, very simi lar to the ordinary <andle fly and this inotb lays hundreds of eggs, each egg producing a worm of extraordinary ap petite, and which Iherajly eat* it* way through a oroj>. Tbe multiplication of the peet is ?o rapid t&at If other parasite* dl<J not prvy upon tbe wotm itself, it* control would probably ty out of tbe question. ^ortuuately, m little fly <?u kill tfee worm quicker than they cau multiply. Tbi* fly U commonly known mm tbe rod tailed fly and ta distinguished from tbe ordinary house fly by tbe browolftb colored tail ?ud brownish bead. Tbe fly 1* very active aud ia a clever bam) at killing tbe worm*. Hi* method of killing worms I* to lay bis egg on tbe worm, tbe egg soou hatching aud bringing forth a smaller worm which detours' the army worm and turn* Into another fly cm pubic of iMylng counUeaa other egg* on worm.* Tbe fly i* clever. It lay* Jta egg ?n t lit* back of tbe worm, and place* It in Much position tbat tbe worm can not bite It. or HcrajH* It off. Tbe egg 1* easily seen, and looks like u little white dot upon, the back of the worm. The I incubation of Mrvae on the fly 1* rapid and io a few day*, not only in tbe worm killed, but another fly, capable pf kill ing thousands of other worm* in hatch ed out and start* it* own work of mul tiplying. Shortly, the file* ap outnum ber tbe worms tbat there are not suf ficient worm* for the file* to lay egg* upon. . Tbe fly will lay more than one egg on ?aCb worm, when there are plenty of worm* on which to feed. '"Hie army worm," said Professor Conradlt "Is not especially fond of cot ton.

Little he'd likely decline and ask hi* neglb bor to pleaae pcm lb# Or lOflM crab (rots, or other vegetation. How ever, If there was nothing eke, he'd eat the cot loo to Ice^p from starving. There are tnany foram of vegetable* that the army worn prefer*, but when * tar vat ion face* blm, he'll eat cotton. "I/Ot* of farmers have a seemingly heavy infestatlou lo a field of alfalfa with cot toil only a f?w feet away. A road or a path way bo between the two and the tenner it dtacooraged for he can nee no hope of killing out the millions of worms lo bin alfalfa patch tofore tbey cros* over to hi* cotton. When the parasite Is at wrok, there 1h little damage to 1h> expected. The Infected worms hardly bare sufficient nt rength to croa* over to the cotton and would not climb up and destroy cotton If be succeeded In getting across thlH hot aimce of ground that watt com paratively without vegetation." Farmers have stated that they have had outbreak* of the worm and that from millions of them In a small patch, they have seen them suddenly go away. The worms did not crawl away, hut (he work of the fly preying upon tfhera Is what killed off the worms /aster than they oould breed. Worms have been fouud practically a.11 over the state. In a very heavily Infested region somt time ago, Pro fessor Oonradt wan 'called to help fight them. He went Ihto the field and ex amined the worms, saying. ,nofhing about his examination or hi* findings. When the anxious farmers asked ^hat they must do, be told them 10 do noth ing at all. that within ten days they would doubtless all be gone. Seeing millions of the worms, the farmers thought that the chief was craz.v. but at the end of the time the worms were, gone and fhe farmers were at a loss to explain where they had gone. The .parasite had done its work and done it well; Army worms have been found in many section* <> tlye comity. They are scattered over different spot# and up until the present time have done practi cally little damage. Some damage, of course 'has been done, but it is slight. The chief's advice to farmers is to do nothing at present if the worms are in fested by a parasite. Examination of the worms will readily show whether or not they are infected. He states that the number found show that the whole country is pretty well covered with the flies, and that the! flies will doubtless get the worms out of the1 way before they can bring forth. Watch the worms carefully, noticing whether! or not they are increasing; He will keop in touch with the county, for there are certain tilings and weather condi tions that ;ire unfavorable to the para sites and which would advance the growth of the worms here. Of course there is a poison for the worms. A mixture of wheat bran, mo 'las&es and paris green will kill the worms very readily, but with the num ber of parasites which are on the worms found here, Professor Conradi states that the mixture would hardly be economical, for fhe files will get the worms before they can do any real werlous damage. Never again will H. O. Roese of' Philadelphia, play the good Samaritan. Yesterday he had a watch, chain and locket, and a perfectly good auto. To day all he has is regrets for an erst while kind^heart. It all came al>out lnvause Roese felt sorry for a man who had to walk. It was getting along to- j ward midnight and Roese figured the chap might 'have a quick tempered wife, or something,- So he invited him to "hop in." The stranger was affa ble. Roese wa? charmed. He handed out cigarettes and everything. Then with real regret he told his new friend he'd have to get out. "Pin going to put the car in a garage here," he said, re gretfully. The passenger stepi>ed non chalantly down, then turned. Roese "ex pected to get a lot of thanks. In stead be found himself looking down the barrel of a young cannon. The I stranger ordered hi m to get out, search ed him, took his watch, chain and lock et. and ordered him to "about face and march." After he had gone a few feet Roese beard a chugging. He looked around. It was his late friend, who, ax a -parting touch, had stolen the ma chine. Over rhe garden fence the conversa tion had suddenly turned acrimonious. "An* if yor boy 'Erbert ties any more cans to our pore dog's tail," was Mrs. Mogglns' stern ultimatum, "c'll ear about It, that's all. Oh, an' pcr' aps you've done wiv that saucepan wot you borrowed last MondAy." "'Erbert," asked Mrs. Grubb shlrlly, "wot 'ave you bin doin' to Mrs. Mog gins' dog?" "Nothln' nui !" repli<*d the small boy unblushingly. "There !" said his mother trium phantly. "An' you returned 'er sauce pan yesterday* didn't you, dear?" "Sent it beck by 'er dog!" said 'Er bert. ?
