WORM EPIDEMIC SERIOUS Raleigh. Aug. P. ceived from Mr. R. W. Lr thy, A-.sM-p;;t FntumoloKi'ts of tho Agricul tural Fi: i-erihient S'aiion, show that the epidemic of Green Clover Worirts on soy beans in Eastern North Car olina is rapidly becoming more and more serious. At the present time the entire Division of Entomology is located in the eastern part of the State, where It is taking up the fight on this epidemic at various points. The Chief of the Division, Mr. Frank lin Sherman, is at Elizabeth City, and Mr.' R. W. Leiby la at Broad Acre Ranch near Terra Ceia. Mr. W. A. Thomas, who was located at New Bern, has now returned to Ra leigh for a few days to further study the situation ln this section. Mr. Leiby states that ho has prac tically gotten the clover worm situa tion in hand on Broad Acre Ranch, but at the same time the Fall Army Worm has made an attack on 250 Snares of corn nearby and Is rapidly proceeding to destroy It. The Ento mologists are also fighting this Army Werm. 'Many of the natural enemies which . V. n OwAAn Iava TITlVm flftW UODliUjr 1 11 17 U1CCU VyWT .. neem to be on the lob and are killing quite a few of the pests. However, they are rapidly changing from the worm state and coming out of the ground as adujt moths. A number are already out, and millions are coming later. It is not known now whether another brood of the worms will appear later, but the Entomo logists are at present watching de velopments. The outlook for the epidemic of the Fall Army Worm Is also very grave at this time This pest Is now destroying grass and corn, and a latter attack Is expected by the next brood on peanuts and perhaps cotton. From the experience of those farm ers ln Eastern Carolina the Exten sion Service advises farmers In coun ties where these outbreaks have oc curred to get ln a supply of arsenate of lead at once. Like any other In sect which defoliates the plants the remedy for these pests Is to use a poison, appyling It in the same way as Is done for potato beetles, or to bacco worms. Two pounds of lead arsenate to SO gallons of water is a good spray mixture. ANDREW CARNEGIE DEAD .

A-ll-t'- THE BEAN WORM Those who have used poisons to l kill the worms have done well, they have killed many worms and have prevented much loss of forage. Those who are now engaged In putting on the poison may finish the Job, or may drop the matter, it does not greatly differ. But thos who have not started to apply poisons" I would advise not to start on It now. And why? Bocauso the present de structive generation ot worms is now mature, the great majority are about to cease their Injuries or have al ready ceased. That been urging that poisons were to be used. The worms linvn oninn rhloflv tlio I !... , 1. . I nor-the bud," hence as soon as thore is a letup in tho worms the 'plants have the chance to push out I new growth.

If any merchant lays in a stock of arsenate now and has no call for It ln September, be can sell it later for the purposes men tioned. I hope that one great bene fit will come from the bean-worm J epidemic namely, that farm- ers and gardeners may learn to know and appreciate the value of arsenate of lead as a remedy for all kinds of insects that eat off the leaves of plants. I have 10-of tho worms in a cage with bean loaves lightly dusted with arsenate and lime as above men tioned. In less than 24 hours four were dead and the others have scarce ly eaten at all. Will they eat cotton? I havo 23 In a cage with young cotton leaved and no other food. They have eaten It a little, but not enough to.be seri ous. Cotton is evidently a possible, but not a desired food-plant. If one is equipped for liquid spray ing the arsenate may be used 1 lb. to 25 gals, water as a remedy for the bean worm, or potato-beetle, or other leaf-eating Insects. - . But, will there be another de structive generation this season? There is sure to be another genera tlon, but whether they will be num erous enough to be a serious pest, neither I nor any other entomologist can fortell. But at the insect has been with us many years, producing several generation! every year and (has usually not been destructive I Jwill make the optimistic guess that INCREASE IN TAX VALUATION - f P.
