FARMERS DAMMED
BY ARMY WORMS
Make Their Appearancc in
Horry County According
to Reports
FARMERS' BULLETINS
GIVE INFORMATION
Short Statement of How This
' Pest May Be Controlled as
%
it Advances
Army worms have made their ap
pearance in several neighborhoods
of this county. It is important for
the farmers to "know the best methods
of poisoning this pest, and in
that way do their best to prevent
damage.
A recent article from the Department
of Agriculture at Washington
savs regard in it this subject:
'ho fall army worm is doing general
injury to field crops in South
Carolina and Mississippi, and injury
may be expected in the north?in
North Carolina, Virginia, and the
more northern States?as the season
advances, probably within the
next three weeks. In South Carolina
the insect has been e.-pecially
injuria us to young corn, alfalfa,
and sorghum.
As the fall army worm advances
north, farmers can prevent serious
damage to their crop.; if they are
on the alert. The United States
Department of Agriculture advises I
every farmer to provide himself
with a practical spraying outfit,
and to keep on hand a few pounds
of one of the standard insecticides,
such as arsenate of lead, Paris
green, or arsenate of zinc. In
closed containers they may be
kept indefinitely without deterioration,
and will be useful in connection
with some of the other pests
even if the army worm invasion
does not come, Every farmer should
have at hand also a copy of Farmer's
Bulletin No. 908, which tells
how to mix and apply insecticides,
and of Farmers' Bulletin No. 77)2,
which tells in detail how to control
the fall army worm. The bulletins
may be had free on application to
the United States Department of
Agriculture. Washington, D. C.
Should Keep Constant Watch.
Thus provided, the farmer should
keep constant watch over the grow
ing crops and thus be in a position
to meet invasions and vanquish the
pests before they have a chance to
do serious damage. For those who
may not have bulletins at hand, the
following summary of control meas
ures may be useful.
The worms are likely to be found,
first, feeding in crab grass or other
grasses in the cornfields, or in
grass-like grains. If the stand Is
not too thick for the worms to bo

should be sprayed with a mixture
of 1 pound of powdered arsenate of
lead to 50 gallons of water, or if
the paste form is used 2 pounds to
50 gallons of water.
When the worms begin feeding
on corn, they u-uiallv attack the
bud of the plant first. A mixture
of 2 pounds of powdered arsenate
of lead of 3 to -1 pounds of the
paste to 50 gallons of water is required.
and ti e spray should ho
applied so as t> force the fluid
deep into the bud of the corn. If
Paris green is used in plaee of arsenate
of lead, lime must be adde 1
to prevent burning. The formula
is: Paris green, 10 ounces; freshly
slaked lime, 2 pounds; water, 50
gallons. Applied to growing crops,
arsenate of zinc also requires a
mixture of lime to prevent burning.
The formula for the arsenical
is; One pound of t.'io chemical, 1
pound of freshly sbk^d lime, and
50 gallons of vat or. White arsenic
should never be apnUed to growing
crops in any form, as it
strongly caustic, and will burn. Ar

senate of lead is the safest insccti
cide for use on growing corn.
Poisoned Bait Effective.
When the army worms are march
ing or in fields whe.re their preferred
foods are not present, poisoned
bran bait Is very effective. It is
composed of 50 pounds wheat bran,
1 pound Paris green or white arsenic.
After the bran and insecticide
are well mixed, add 2 gallons of low
grade molasses, to which may be
added sufficient water to make
enough liquid to thoroughly dampen
the bran.
An addition of 5 pounds of salt
to 50 pounds of bran helps to keep
the bait in a moist condition, but it
is not necessary. The addition of
G finely chopped lemons or oranges
appears to make the bait more ap- i
petizing to the worms, and, therefore,
increases its effectiveness.
The bait is scattered broadcast over
the infested fields.
When the worms are on the
march or are starting in an one. |
corner of a field of grain head them j
off by plowing a deep furrow directly
in rront of them, then kill the
worms falling into this furrow by
dragging a log through it. Where
the whole field is infested, plow a
furrow entirely around it so as to
keep the worms out of the shrrounding
fields. Keep the furrow free;
from rubbish so that the worms i
will have no means of crossing it. |
Shallow post holes dug at frequent j
intervals at the bottom of the furrow
will trap many worms, which'
can then oe destroyed by crushing, j
If the subsoil will hold wafer
well, the holes mav be nartially.
filled with water and a little coal
oil or petroleum poured over it.
The oil will soon kill the worms that
fall into the hole.

FREE RANGft FOR POULTRY
"When the garden crops have
reached maturity or are far enough
developed to suffer little damage
from chickens the flock should be
given fiee range. There are times
in late summer &nd early fall when
the benefit received by the -poultry
will exceed the slight injury some
gavden products niav incur.
Free range enables growing chick
ens to obtain quantities of green
feed, bugs, worms, and other
things. The chickens therefore require
less grain and are less liable
to sickness or -disease. Excivise
and ability to range for even a few
hours a day is beneficial to a flock
that has been kept in- confinemient
during the spring and early summer.
