The adult is a moth which lays her egg's chiefly on grass in low 'antis The caterpillars themselves never lay eggs or produce living young, The favorite food plants are grasses, tim- othy oats corn and miillett. When food becomes scarce the worms move in enormous numbers in search of new feeding girounds. I As the pest has been reported in numerous counties, every farmer should examine his fields from lime to time to ,see':if, they afire being at- tacked. If these little insects have become distributed all over the field. before being noticed the wisest. course will be to cut the crap at once .if it is timothy or grain and cure for hay, but if, it is corn scatter tightly through the field a, poison mixture made of 1 ib. of Paris green mixed thoroughly in 25 lbs. of bran, and then moisten with water, sweet eneh with molasses. Make the mix tuire just moist enough to fall through the fingers like sawdust—not sloppy, It The crop is threatened, or attack- ed only in part, dig a trench .,mmed- iately ion front of where the worms are In, the case where the crap is partly attacked, it will be,• found ed- visablc to cut a swath through the t grain and rake this off before ,he trench is dug. The trench is often uasatoisfactory, especially in ,lay soil, of it is not properly made. It 'hould be at least 18 inches deep, in clay soil with a straight clean side towards the trot' to be protected.. Post -holes at least a foot in depth must be sunk ev- ery 15 feet in the bottom of rhe ti each In sandy sail the trench , works excellently, but in clay soil it is often advisable as an extra precaution to hean up the loose earth on the oral) side right along the trench. - !The small ,particles of earth loosen ainrcl cause the climbing worms to, ;trop, i Hence :in clay or much soil it may be, advisable to scratch the face of the wa1' lightly with a garden rake. Do this also after rain, When tbe worm are unable to climb the wall they will ,pass, lengthwise 0 through the trench and collect in the east - holes, where they may be killed by crushing or other means. In Jigging the trench a ;plough may be used, ,but the balance of the work should be done with spades to insure a 'lean deep trench. Wherever the worms are found, prompt action is very important. —0 --- Huron is now being _overrun by the army worm. In Usborne' Arnoe Doupe's first prize field of barley has been heavily damaged. It was estimated at 50 bush. to the acre by the judge. Others who have the pest on; their farms ire Thos McCurdy, S. Routly, J. i tc Curdy Robert Dowse, R. .Keddy, C. Dew and A. H. Doupe. In. Stephen S. Webb, John Taylor of near Grand Bend, Mr. Carruthers of Greenway; Mich. Finkbeiner, John English John Hiatze], near Crediton, are among those who are fighting the worm. A • corn -field owned by Mr. Eli Snell • and a field of Re Gillies in Ex- eter has been found infested. . Tuckersmith and Stanley Township also have a share. A report has reached here to the effect that the army worm had com- menced its operations on' the farm of John Neuschwanger of the Goshen Line one and half miles north of Zur- ich. la all places the most approved methods are being used to . destroy the worms DR . MARTIN IS THE MEMBER FOR EAST LAMBTON --o-- On Thursday last Chief Justice Sir William Meredith at Toronto upheld the appeal of Dr. J. B. Martyrs against the decision of the county judge who in the East Lambton recount reject- ed ballots on, the ground that rhe counterfoil ought to have been de- tached by the D.R.O. in the village of Thedford, The Chief Justice did nnot think it right to disenfranchise the electors oweisg to a technical error on the part o fthe deputy returning of- ficer, The main thing is that the in-. tenteen of thevoter is' plainly shown by the. ballots.
