Worm Hordes Invade
Field At Darlington
Darlington, S. C., May 30 —
Darlington county fishermen to
day bad all the free bait they
wanted as a deluge of worms—
similar to the army worms, but
longer — invaded near-by Gedra
airport on'the Dovesville highway.
The worms appeared and began
crawling all over the ground, in
droves of several thousand.
Darlington fishermen began
hurrying 'to the airport with con
tainers to scoop up as many as
possible for future use. Where the
worms came from, and what
kind they are remained mysteries
today.
Because of the possible destruc
tion of croplands from the worms,
the areag were being sprayed
around the airport by DDT crew
men, and every precaution was
.being taken to provent a further
migration of the worms.
• Many firshermen went away
with several hundreds "of the
worms.
