The army worm, not seen in
strength in Western Ontario since
1938, is the scourge of every farm
and every crop on which it de-
scends. Usually seen either in
hordes of millions, or not at all,
it moves across the countryside
eating and destroying all vege-
tation in its path.
Near Kintaii in the far corner
of Ashhield Township, ,it was re-
ported one entire 100 -acre farm
was infested .with army worms. At
the opposite side of the county,
one 40 -acre area of infestation was
reported five miles north of St.
Columban.
Those who have "'seen the worms
in action this week say that not
since 1927 has there been an in-
festation like it.
One farmer south of Dungannon
telephoned to the Clinton office of
the Department of Agriculture
Wednesday afternoon, in haste to
report he had just found an army
of the worms beginning to cross a
line fence from his neighbor's
place to his own. As an emerg-
ency measure, Mr. Bennett's office
advised, the quickest action he
could take was to plow a furrow
across the line of advance of the
worms, with the vertical face of
the furrow away .from them, and
then as soon as possible to bait
the furrow with a mixture' of bran,
paris greenand molasses. A poison
bait of this type - is being recom-
mended by the Ontario Depart-
ment of Agriculture as almost the
only known control measure that
offers any hope of practical suc-
cess.

Two additional outbreaks of the
army worm infestation were re-

Fordwich area of .Howick Town-
ship, said Gordon Bennett, agricul-
tural representative for Huron,
Thursday morning. There has not
yet been any report, Mr. Bennett
said, of army worms south of No.
8 Highway in Huron Counts.
"They appear in the areas where
the crops are later," he comment-
ed. "Where the grain crops are
still green, that is where the
worms are at work. There have
been no reports of army worms in
the Exeter area, even though they
were at work in Lambton County
a few days ago."

Army worms were reported
spreading rapidly in the Monkton
area of Perth County Wednesday,
while some 16 farmers were bat-
tling to have their grain crops ov-
er a 400 -acre area by using paris
green as bait.
The parasites are expected to
exact a heavy toll in the Monkton
area, as more worms are reported
as having eggs on their backs.
These hatch in a few days.
Other than the 400 -acre infested
block, no nes outbreaks in Perth
have been reported. However, the
Elma-Logan boundary attack is
considered as "serious enough" be-
cause Tuesday only 60 acres were
reported attacked.
