THE WET wORm.

Mr. Cell, 3 newspaper correspondent
for Topeka papersWas in the city Tues
day and is returning from trip sIong
the Howard branch, where has been m
vestigating the reports IN reference TO
the plague know j as the "wet worm"
The worm of which so much is now Be-
ing said and written varies from one
half inch u sn inch in leGg.h, and when
placed under magnifying glass OF me-
dunn power If appears as an animal OF
considerable beauty. Along Its back
are purple spots Of great regularity,
while stripes of various colors, blending
somewhat like those of the rainbow, ex-
tend the entire length of the reptile. The
worm is suppos ID b. some TO hatch
from the eggs Of 3 GLOW miller that Is
often seen about the roots OF corn hills.
The WoI IN does not injure the roots OF
the corn. 4 many suppose, but craWls
up the stalk and eats away ali the 1eshy
part of the blade. leaving only the
fibers. They travel by the thousands
aud make straight paths cross the
fields, often as high as fifty or sixty
worms attacking one hill. The worms
not only eat the corn, but grass, snd at
Madison they destroy / the potato crop
of one f. .ner. It or'Y takes few hours
for an army of these worms destroy q
field of cola, but As they eat only that
which is from one to one and half feet
high. it Is thought by some that the
stalks will grow and put out new blades.
At the places Mr.. Cecil visited the worm
has only dsnsged a few fields, aud NO
great alarm is felt.
