The berries are picked on the mountains adjacent to the above towns by men, women and cflildren who make it their daily work. The pickers receive five and six cents a quart according to the quality of the berries. They are bought by produce dealers at Spring Mills and Coburn, who find ready sale for them in the city markets. ArRMY WORM HERE.—The army worm has made its appearance in Centre coun- ty but so far not in sufficient numbers to do much damage. Dr. M. A. Kirk found a half dozen or so in his garden on Wed- nesday morning but he killed them be- fore they broke camp and started to: work. A few have appeared in Ferguson township but not enough to do any great damage. Down through Pennsvalley they have made their appearance on a number of farms but so far not in sufficient num- bers to do any great damage. The one place they have proved de- structive, so far as can be learned, is down little Nittany valley. On Tuesday : they made their appearance on the Furst farm, on the Jacksonville road, and prac- tically ruined a field of oats. Estimates of the tenant farmer and neighbors place the destruction at from 250 to 300 bush- “els of oats. Where the worms came from is a mystery. They were first seen crawl- ing on the Jacksonville road, literally covering the road, so that there were millions of them. They made their ap- pearance about eleven o’clock in the fore- noon and by evening they had finished | the oats field. Persons who saw them on ‘ the road were amazed at the vast multi- , tude of worms and the rapidity with | which they invaded the field. John Grove, who occupies the farm east of the Furst farm, was one of the first to see them crawling ou the road be- fore they made their onslaught on the Furst farm oats field and realizing that they were the much dreaded army worm, started in to cut his oats although it was not thoroughly ripe. But on Wednesday the worms made an at- tock on his oats field, principally upon the oats yet standing, and also invaded his potato field. On the same day they appeared on the Runkle farm, which ad- joins the Furst farm on the west, going after both the oats and potatoes. Other farmers in that valley are becoming alarmed and are wondering how wide- spread the destruction of these pests will be. . The farms of Mr. John Yearick and Mr. Homer Decker in Spring township were cleaned of both their oats and corn crops on Wednesday night by these scav- engers. Prof. H. A. Surface has issued a bulle- tin telling all about the army worm, whence it comes, how long it stays and the best methods to get rid of it. He says in part: The army worm now destroying vege- tation and grain in many parts of this county, as well as in other parts of the State is nothing more nor less than a kind of cutworm and is with us every year. Some seasons, where conditions are favorable its multiplication is greater than usual, and after it eats the grass and grasslike vegetation near where the eggs were laid from which they hatched, the worms or larvae crawl to other vege- tation to eat, and in this crawling they are simply moving forward like an army, and, therefore, are called army worms. Some persons have the idea that they march across the State like an invading host, while in truth their marching is but a short distance, and this simply for the purpose of procuring food. There are many kinds of vegetation upon which they do not feed. For exam- ple, clover and alfalfa are left alone, while grass, oats, corn and other cereals when not too ripe are readily devoured. After feeding, generally at night, until they are grown they cease feeding and become chrysalids or pupa in the soil or rubbish. In about two weeks they again change and become winged moths of grayish color, and with an expanse of wings of over an inch and one-half, with a white point in the middle of each front wing. The moths lay eggs generally in masses around the stems of grasses. These may hatch into worms for another brood, and may again transform into moths which may pass the winter in the adult stage, or they may lay eggs, and the eggs remain on the grasses during the winter, or the eggs may hatch, and the larvae may feed to some extent in the fall, but pass the winter as undeveloped larvae to commence feeding again early in the spring. There may be from two to four broods of them in Pennsylvania ac- cording to the season. Killing them by means of red pepper, sweetened bran and other preparations has not proven satisfactory but those persons who have followed the directions of Professor Surface have found that the simple directions he has given were eco- nomical and efficient. These consisted of nothing more than either to spray with one-half ounce of arsenate of lead in each gallon of water, or to apply such liquid as a sprinkle from sprinkling cans, or to mix dry arsenate of lead with about twenty-five times its bulk of flour, or dust, or powder of any kind, and dust it over the vegetation liable to be attacked. The dust should be applied in the even- ing or morning while the dew is on, or after sprinkling or spraying the vegeta- tion. A coarse pepper box containing arsenate of lead and flour will protect any lawn from the pests. Field crops are best protected by the useof a spray pump. Ditches, pitfall holes, traps and rollers are all unsatis- factory and more or less ineffective. The question is asked as to how long such pests continue. This depends upon how large they are. They feed for about four weeks from the time they hatch un- til they are full grown worms and quit feeding. This is when they reach a length of about one inch and one-half. They vary from dark gray to black in color, more or less striped with yellowish stripes. The question is also asked if they will repapear next year. Professor Surface says he does not expect an out- break of them next year, for the reason that most of the specimens show the eggs of parasites, especially of the fly known as the Tachina fly, which is an in- ternal parasite destroying such pests by the millions. eee AAA erie en. ——The Frank A. Robbins show will arrive in Bellefonte early Sunday morn- ing from Lock Haven and will pitch their tents on the board of trade field near the old glass works site. The show will give two performances on Monday, so that it will not be necessary to stay away from church on Sunday to go out and see it. ee ———————————————————————————— ——Mrs. Nellie Butler, of Howard, is mourning the death of her sister, Mrs. Katharine E. Gray, which occurred at North Bend, Clinton county, last Friday. She was thirty-five years old and. had "been ill for a year. ie bs Eels —Milesburgers held their big annual picnic at Hecla park on Wednesday, and so general was the turnout that the town was almost deserted. Work was prac- tically suspended at the brick yards and | the big plant of the State-Centre Electric ' company and everybody took a day off ' and journeyed to the park. een ——Candidates A. Mitchell Palmer and Vance C. McCormick will motor here ‘ from Philipsburg this afternoon, and ac- { cording to the program announced last : week will spend the night at one of the leading hotels in Bellefonte where any | person who wants to see them can do so. { No arrangements have been made for a ; public meeting. — i ——The Milesburg basebali team jour- ,neyed to Port Matilda last Thursday to : show the Port Matilda boys how to play : ball, but they reckoned wrongly for in a | seven inning game they were defeated | by the score of six to one. Their down- fall came in the third inning when five of the fleet-footed Port Matildaites cross- ed the plate. A return game will be played at Milesburg. ——The Undine fire company has voted to attend the Central Pennsylvania district firemen’s convention, to be held at Patton in August, in a body and take along a band. To do so will require con- siderable money and the boys are taking subscriptions to help them out in the ex- pense. Bellefonte firemen are always quick to respond to any call for help in case of a fire, and now when they ask you for a little help to make this trip don’t turn them down. ——71he seven hundred or more school teachers who are taking the summer course at State College held their annual picnic at the foot of old Tussey moun- tain, near Pine Grove Mills, last Satur- day. It took three special trains on the Bellefonte Central railroad to convey the teachers from the College to Pine Grove Mills. Dr. E. E. Sparks had personal charge of the outing and saw that every one present got hisor her share of the free lunch, as the teachers were guests of the College. ——Judge Orvis held a special session of court on Wednesday to hear evidence in the case of the Commonwealth vs. George Ogge, on the charge of larceny. The prosecutor was Peter Boone. Both men are Germans, their home Pittsburgh, and they have been working at the new peni- tentiary. Boone charged Ogge with steal- ing $21 from his hip pocket last Saturday evening during a trip to Bellefonte. After hearing the evidence the court adjudged it insufficient to hold the defendant and ordered his discharge from custody. v ——The United Telephone and Tele- graph company have had a force of men at work this week removing the old cables and wires used prior to being sup- planted by the new cable system recently installed by the company. All the new cables as far as possible were strung in alleys and this will enable the company to pull down the unsightly poles in the Diamond, along Allegheny street and on some of the other streets of the town. These poles will be removed just as soon as it is possible for the company to do so. ——Now that the trout-fishing season is practically over it is up to fish com- missioner Nathan R. Buller to get busy and stock the streams for the future. Trout fishing was no better during the season just closed than it has been in several years but Mr. Buller’s idea of stocking the streams in the latter part of the year with fingerling trout, and of larger size, is generally admitted to be a commendable one. But it will take sev- eral years to prove out his idea to the full satisfaction of the average trout fish- erman. ——Longer H. Wian, the man who rep- resents John D. Rockerfeller’s oil inter- ests in this section, may not be a geolo- gist but he holds some very optimistic beliefs on geological questions. He be- lieves that all the mountains hereabouts are underlaid with coal and valuable minerals and that oil could be found in paying quantities in the Bald Eagle val- ley, if only some one had the patience and the coin to drill deep enough for it. Of course he doesn’t want to be the one to dig after these hidden fortunes, and is perfectly willing for any one who wants to to take advantage of his pipe dream and dig out their fortune. ——Big, breezy Bill Hollenback liter- ally blew into town on Saturday evening and after spending Sunday with friends here went up to State College where he has been spending the week. Bill has an office in Philadelphia where he spends a good part of the time but as coach of the State College foot ball team he is now getting busy looking after the material for a winning eleven the coming season. The team last year was not a big success in winning games and at least five of the regulars will be missing from the line-up this year, but Hollenback is not the kind of a coach who lies down and cries quits. He will be on the job from now until the: last game is played and feels confident that he will be able to develop a team this year that will be far superior to last year’s aggregation. College will open in about six weeks and active training will be started September 10th. CENTRE COUNTY FAIR SEPT. IST TO 41H.—The Centre county fair this year will be held September 1st to 4th inclu- sive. In other words it will open just four weeks from next Tuesday. The fair management have men now employ- ed repairing the grand stand and making all other repairs needed to put the build- ings in good shape, while the grounds will also be properly looked after. Inasmuch as the fair is only a month away Centre county farmers should be- gin planning their exhibits for that time. It is the farm exhibit of live stock, grain, fruit and all kinds of products that makes ' a fair a success. The races and the free shows help to entertain but farmer John "Jones is more anxious to see an exhibit of farmer Jim Smith’s stock and the pro- ducts of his farm. In these days of ad- vanced agriculture the competition for best stock and biggest crops is just as keen among the farmers as competition in business, and the average tiller of the soil is willing and anxious to learn. What better place to make a competitive exhibit than at the county fair? The women have always responded very liberally with exhibits of their domestic skill as well .as their handi- craft with the needle, and that exhibit this year will doubtless equal that of any former year. But it is the farmer who wants to get busy and make his depart- ment better than it has ever been. to do this he must begin planning now, as the time is none too long. SICK ARE IMPROVING.—The condition of J. H. Robb, who has been sick for a month at the home of his mother on Bishop street, has so decidedly improved the past week that his friends are en- couraged to believe that there is a chance for his permanent recovery. R. S. Brouse’s condition has improved to that extent that his temperature is down to about normal, though he is very weak from going so long without any substantial food. The only one whose condition is no better, probably worse, is ex-sheriff W. A. Ishler, of Bishop street. ——The WATCHMAN enjoys the proud distinction of being the best and cleanest county paper published.
