Army worms are causing much trouble
in Yolo county They appear to be travel
ing in a northwestern direction. The only
means of suppressing them that works
satisfactorily is a ditch with a steep side
opposite the line of march Of the worms,
and this should have a covering of light
soil, so that as the worms attempt to climb
up the soil gives way, and they fall back
into the ditch, and, crawling along the
ditch, fall into holes sunk at intervals.
