Shedd’s 61 Acre Olt " Field—Some Reported in Norwich Town and Othet Places in Vicinity—Campaign Planned by (;ouy Agent and Farmers Against Invaders. . : The dreaded army worms have ap- peared by the thousands on Preston farms in the last day or two but it was only Friday night that the pres- ence ofi the pest became know to County Agent Murray D. Lincoin of the New London County lmprovemeut league. Shortly after 6.30 Agent and o'clock = County C. Jewett were . notified by a telephone message from . A. B Shedd of Preston that large ed own, in that section. County Agent and Mr. Jewett immediately set out for Mr. Shedd’s farm by au- tomobile arriving there shortly after < 7.80 o'clock. They carefully went over I l part of Mr. Shedd’s farm and looked over the other farms near Mastern Point where they have ap- large numbers the Spread Over Oat Fields.

Further investigation revealed the faet that the worms have also reach- ed the farm of C. H.

Comnty .Agent Lincoln said mu this is one of the best methods of checking the 1avt.nca of the worm as they are attracted by the molasses and poisoned by the paris grreen when they get into the trenches.

Not Serious in New London. Ctty Forester Henry C. Fuller in New London declared 'that his opinion the ravage of the ded army worm within the limits of New ‘would not be at all serious.

Geperal Manager Ortiz of Branford farms, where nrillions of the worms strove to entér the 70-acre corn field Wednesday, said Friday morning that he feit the invasaion was well un- der control.

In Uncasville the worms have made their untimely appearance this week and- on Friday they were reported to be present scatteringly at Norwich Town. \ How to Dou(roy Worms. The methods by which the army worm, which has been reported from varfous parts of the state as appear- ing in such large numbers as to do serious damage to lawns and vege- tation may be destroved, are discuss- ed in a statement given out by State Entomologist W. E. Britton of New Haven. The insect, known to scien- tists as Helophila (leucania) unopuna- ta, has so far been reported from West Haven, Bridgeport, Greenfield Hill, Botsford, New London and Groton. “The insect” says Dr. Brit- ton,_ “is closely allied to the cut- worms, the adult being a brown night- flying moth which lays its eggs on the grasses and weeds in the late summer. It is always present but feeds upon native vegetation and it is noticed only when very abundant, for it is then that it attacks and in- jures lawns, grass, grain and corn In cultivated fields. Heavy Roller or Maul Useful. “A' few caterpillars on the lawn may be crushed by a heavy rolier or maul: in some cases hens may be em- ployed to devour them; they may also be killed by spraying the grass or sprinkling them .directly with ordin- ary kerosene or by spraying the grass with arsenate of lead, one and one- half ounces in a gallon of water. Furrow Stops Their March. “When large fields are attacked, a deep furrow should be plowed across their line of mg_rch with the opposite side perpendioular. In the bottom of this furrow deep holes.should be dug at intervals of ‘eight or ten feet. The caterpillars will accumulate in the furrow and especially in the holes in large numbers and may be killed by sprinkling with kerosene; or by cov- ering with hay and buring. A zone around the infested section may also be sprayed with arsenate of lead to kill - the caterpillars when they feed upon the vegetation, thlls preventing damage to adjacent fields.” =g SUGGESTIONS WERE MADE FOR BUSINESS MEN’S OUTING. Direotors of Norwich Asscciation Con- at a Meeting Friday At a meeting of the directors of the Norwich Business Men's association plans for the Norwich Business Men's annual outing were discussed at length and a number of suggestions were made.

JBelfut July 24 —The failure of the Buckingham Palace conference on home rule was known definitely in Belfast last night through telegrams from the Ulster leaders and the offi- cial announcement this afternoon caused no excitement here. The lead- ing business men, clergymen, bankers and manufacturers, who had declared for an anti-home rule movement, were unanimous in endorsing the uncom- promising attitude of Sir Edward Car- son ang Captain James Craig in de- manding the total and permanent ex- clusion of Ulster from the workings of the home rule bill. The business community is suffering severely through stagnation in trade and tight money. There is unwillingness to or- der new stocks of goods with the fear of civil war hanging overhead. A large proportion of the commercial world would endorse settlement of the con- troversy on a compromise basis, but, realizing that popular sentiment {s agaimst them, they dare not insist en anything lese than Sir Edward Car- sen’'s original demand. The Ulster provisional government awaits orders from Bir Edward and Captain Craig, who still are in London. It is belleved here the next step will be a general mobilization of the vol- unteer force as a kind of “armed dem- onstration” which may impress the government. If the government still is unyielding it appears certain, ac- cording to declarations by prominent Ulster men, that a provisional govern- ment will be set up before the home Tule bl is passed. The belligerent minority has desired to seize the pest office and customs house and cenduct a kind of armed republic under martial law, but the conservative element in the Ulster government has overruled them. The present policy .is to continue all the publi¢ services as they now are, mot interfering with trafic or the tele- graphs, so that if the government does not adopt coercive measures the or- dinary life of Ulster wiil continue, Beilfast probably will be policed by volunteers drawn from- four local reg- iments, who will be known as the “town guard.” The same regiments also will furnish a quota of 10,000 men, fully armed, for the second line nght- ing force, A so-called special service corps, consisting of about 40,000 men, most of them old soldiers, to be officered by former regulars and having full trans- port and machine gun sections. will campriu the\ first llne of a “flying column.” This force will be ready to “‘kl to any quarter of Ulster where the Nationalists defy the provisional government by rioting and reinforce local citizsen troops.
