Students Slap And Scratch As Cankerworms Invade KU
The person who gets "so mad he could squeeze worms" has ample opportunity now that the cankernworm has invaded Lawrence.
According to H. B. Hungerford, $ ^{4} $
The cankerworm is the little black wiggler who spins a web from trees and drops down the neck of pedestrians. He ranges in size from less than a quarter of an inch to one inch and attacks only elm trees.
professor of entomology, the cankerworm invasion is the worst in years, but is not expected to be serious enough to kill elm trees this season. The trees which have been chewed bare will leaf out later this summer.
One student has made a game of collecting cankerworms from the curtains and walls of his room. Wash day has been complicated for the housewife as hundreds of the crawlers cover fresh sheets and white shirts.
Lawrence residents report that steps and sidewalks are slick from squashed worms. People with fireplaces complain that the hearths are full of worms which have dropped down the chimney. In some sections of the city, pedestrians can walk only a few feet before running into
countless cobwebs formed by the leaf eaters.
"the prospect for next year is not cheerful," Professor Hungerford reported. "It depends on how many precautions are taken to control them now and next winter and whether the few parasites that attack the cankerworm get busy."
C. G. Bayles, superintendent of building and grounds, said that the University has been spraying trees on the campus for two weeks. Most of the spraying is done on Sundays and at night to avoid showering students.

WHY... I smoke Chesterfield
( FROM A SERIES OF STATEMENTS BY PROMINENT TOBACCO FARMERS )
Liggett & Myers buy top quality cigarette tobacco and pay top prices for it . . . nobody will average paying more than they do year in and year out.
I've been smoking Chesterfields ever since I've been smoking. I just like them . . . they have real tobacco flavor.
