1t had extended forty miles from the city, and
Was was destroying entire cabbage patches. In
Iooo, IL entered the United States in the
northern parts of Vermont and New Hamp-
shire. This spring, it invaded our State from
the east, and was seen at Albany for the first
time in the month of July. The following
month it had increased so rapidly that it had
already become our most abundant butterfly
and in riding out of the southern part of our
city, where there were many acres of cabbage
under cultivation, it was impossible to count
the butterflies as they were driven up from
the roadside. 1t will probably extend west
wardly the present year, at least as far as the
central part of the State.
IN tnese portions OF the State where it first
arrNeo, the cabbage crop has been nearly if
noC entlrely DESTROYED. So unparalleled il
the increase OF this insect from the three or
iour broods which occur during the year, that
in all probability no cabbages can be success
fully grown in this portion of the State the
coming year. The culture will have to
be abandoned unless we should be
favored with an attack upon the caterpillar
by one or more of our native parasites, which
may serve to bring it within the limits which
it occupies in the Eastern world. There it
has at least four parasites which prey upon it
and check its excessive increase, but unfortu-
nately they were not imported with it.
In view of this prospective abandonment of
tie culture OF cabbage, it would seem to be a
pity, if from any unfounded fear, any persons
should be deferred from enjoying it while they
have the privilege.-Altany Journal
