Worm Damage Serious
The invasion of the army worms in
some sections of the small grain belt
is serious as they have already des-
troyed considerable acreage of grain
and are continuing to operate in Wise
county.
The poison bran we have stored
here for use in grasshopper poisoning
has been released for poisomning these
worms. A poison bran mash is used
and the method of applying it is the
same as for grasshoppers.
