THOSE tomato WoRMs.-We pub
lished some time ago q statement
from an exchange that young girl
in Iowa had been stung by tomato
worm and died from its effects. The
item has created great CONSERVATION
among lovers of this delicious veg>
etable. Mr.. Walsh, the Illinois State
EntomOlogist, contradicts the state
ment that any such worm is possible.
He says:
81 scarcely supposed that any body
would for a moment believe any
such silly nonsense but as | find
that great many do actually be,
lieve it, | take this opportunity to
state that the whole story is fabri-
Gated out of whole cloth. The horn
in the tomato worms tail is not a
sting, neither can it penetrate The
human flesh, and even if il did there
is no poison bag attach ei to it, so
that the result would be no more se-
rious than a wound from q needle.
