KEsosHA, Aug. 14.-Rain, rain, rain and still
1t continues, with aunshiny dny thrown in once
in q while as rarity. No wonder the farmer
relieves his overburdened soul in groans and
eighs as he contemplates the calamities that
have been his portion On account Of the 81
trer1e wetness Of the season. Nor do his
troubles end here. The army worm has invaded
the country iu large numbers. and threatens to
relieve the farmer Of all ueed OF using sogthe
or sickle. Even the city gardens are not e1-
empt, and the hungry worm regales himself
alike on cabbages, beets, house plants. Auy-
thing, in fact, that is green and fresh-looking
serves as dinner for this despoi1er. Several
fields of corn in the immediate vicinity
of the city show the ravagas Of the
army worm; and, unless somo means OF exter-
mlnation be used, will doubtless add one more
to the losses already sustained by the farmers.
One man in the city, who makes q specially Of
raising vegetables for market, has large field
OF cabbages, which he has taken the greatest
pains to have in fine condition in order to sell
them in the fall. When be discovered the army
worm in possession of the ae1d and that he Was
in fair way to lose all his cabbages. he used
Paris green with no spAring hand on said vegota-
bles, hoping in this way to GET rid Of the worms,
and save his oabbagas Tor home consumption.
Query is whether caobages we'll seasoned with
Paris green will prove beneficial as an article Of
food.
