A New Enemy TO The Farmer.

One Of the most singular instances Of the
sudden appearance OF new and terrible in
sect pest in great numbers has occurred re-
Gently in several places in Michigan. This
insect is a night-feeding worm. at first vel
yety black in color becoming yellow striped
and at length .rayish In shape and ap-
to which. in fact. they are nearly related.
They might be called black army worms.
They feed entirely BY night, or somewhat on
cloudy days II j, not yet known what is
the parent moth OF these new enemies nor
is il known thai any such insects have ever
before been noxious 10 agriculture. They
feed on all sorts Of vegetation with the ut
most ayidity. The following extract from
the Michigan agricultural COLLEGE Sp~ca-
lam, from the pen Of Prof A. j. Cook. will
give some idea of the numbers of those
suddenly arisen pests:
AT midnight We were in the centre of a
fine garden, and found the insects banquet
ing on every vegetable within reach. Straw
berry vines were being cut down by myriads
of jaws, peas were being mown off by whole
sale. A fine onion bed was being sacrificed
and the buds Of the pear and apple trees.
and grass and clover; and even the very
weeds we're being consumed by these noe
turnal devourers."
During the day the worms hide in I'M
mense numbers under leaves and rubbish
and in grass. The most successful remedy
yet found is gas tar water.
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1884-08-28
