ATTENTION FARMERS
Secretary Wilson (lives Ad-
vice to Growers
The department of agricul-
ture is usiug all the means at
its disposal to meet the emer-
gency caused by the very
great distraction of crops in
the south by the fill army
worm. This insect is present
in uupreeedeut numbers from
Louisiana and Arkansas east-
ward to the Atlantic ocean
and is destroying corn, cotton,
sugarcane, rice and other crops
to such an extent as to cause
great anxiety on the part of
planters and others. By means
of an emergency appropria-
tion by congress it is possi-
ble for the department to ren-
der quick as - istance.—
Plans for this work, in co-
. operation with the states con-
cerned, are being rapidly per-
fected. The insect will un-
doubted!}- continue its ravages
for some time unless checked
In all probability another
brood will appear after the
present oue transforms in the
ground. For these reasons
immediate action towards de-
stroying the worms is strong-
ly advised.
The department recom-
mends the use of arsenicals.
Among' these are arsenate of
lead, Paris green, and London
purple. In most cases it will
be best to apply these poisons
in dry forms^iustead of with
water. Dry applications, can
be made by sifting the
poisons upon.the plants with
some light? cloth sacks by
means of blowers or dusting
•machines. Liquid applications
must be made with spraying
aparatus to be effective. For
• this reason the dry applica-
tions meet the present emer-
gency better than liquid ones.
Arsenate of lead in powder-
ed form is recommended
above all other arsenicals be-
cause it will not injure the

foliage of any of the field crops in checking the pests. In
fact, in many eases it is by
far the most effective means
grown in the south. Paris
green is next in effectiveness
but should be mixed with its that can be followed
weight of air-slacked lime or
flour to prevent burning of
the foliage,' whifch is likely to
occur if it is applied without
aif slacked lime or flour, as
recommended in the case of
Paris green. Wherever it is
feasible to use liquid sprays,
arsendte of lead in powdered
form should be used at the
rate of 3 pounds per barrel of
water. Paris green should be
used at the rate of about 10
ounces per barrel. It is best
in case Paris green is used)
in this way to add 2 pounds j
of freshly slacked lime to pre-
vent burning.
Whether dry or liquid pre-
parations are used it is ex-
tremely important that the
applications be made with
thoroughness. In the case
of corn , some of the poison
should be placed in the heart
of the plant, where the great-
est damage is done. A small
amount is all that is required
to kill insects. In the case
of cotton, powdered arsenate
of lead should be applied at
tire rate of about pounds per
acre. The usual method of
utilizing elotli sacks carried
through die field on horseback
is perfectly adapted to this j
crop.
On forage crops and others
in the case of which unfortun-
ate results might follow the
use of arsenicals, other exped-
ients must be adopted. In
pastures and in some instan-
ces on alfalfa many of the
worms cau be destroyed by
use of rollers or drags. In
alfalfa that would be injured
by rolling or dragging, the
plants should be cut for bay.
When the worms are forced
from the field by this means
many may be killed by means
of drags or by- plowing them
under when they make their
way- to other fields. Immedi-
ately after cutting, alfalfa
fields should be thoroughly
disked. This will kill many
of tire worms before they can
leave and will break up and
destroy the cells of those that
have gone into the ground
for pupation.
The method of destroying
the insects when they are in
the quiet stage in the ground,
to which reference has just
been made, is of importance
next to the use of arsenicals
