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. Figuratively speaking, If you had
a luinquet for army worms, and all the
crops of tbe farm on tbe table and of
fered Mr. Army Worm some cotto*.

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

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

Lee Tires ask no favors of the road. * 1
On rough country roads their tough treads
travel almost unharmed over sharp and jut
ting points that would tear the heart out of
less sturdy tires. On paved streets and
boulevards Lee Tires wear down surpris
ingly and pleasingly slow.
If you knew how to make tires and none but
the best would satisfy you, the Lee Tire is
the kind you'd build.
So thoroughly good are Lee Tires that you'll
get an entirely new idea of tire mileage and
satisfaction from the first one you try. Let
us s/tow you why .
