A GRAPEVINE PEST.
1T EATS livery LEAF FROM
VINEYARDS ATTACKED.
The Caterpillar of the White-Lined
Sphinx Entering Upon a De-
structive Campaign.

Numerous complaints have been recently
received from various localities concerning
the destruction of the foliage OF grape
vines, and even the tender shoots of this
years growth, by caterpillar differently
described by different fruit growers. In
some localities the injury to vines has be-
come so extensive as 10 create alarm. An
investigation made by the RECORD L MON
upon the subject reveals the fact that. so
far as personal investigation has been
made, and from other reports received, the
injury in all localities heard from, are of
the same nature, and are inflicted BY the
same pest-the caterpillar OF the White
lined Sphinx. By referring to the admir-
able work of Matthew Cooke, entitled,
Injurious Insects of the Orchard, Vine
yard, etc, pages 1S4-lS6, a full descripti
OF the pest with the illustrations accom-
panylng this article, will be found. Those
OF our readers who are having an unwel-
come visitation from tn huge and raven
Gus insect, will rec 1gnize liz the cuts below
the selfsame animal " that is stripping
their vineyards or denuding other fruit-
bearing vines or trees.
This pest MIR. Cooke has classified in his
works with the insects infesting the grape,
but he also states that it feeds 1ipon leaves
OF apples melon and turnipse The expe-
rience OF tbs present season greatly enlarge3
the list of trees and vines which it preys
upon, but the foliage of the grapevine APP
pears to be its fsgorite food.

The moth or butt.Ihy ate of the insect
is the white. lined sphinx. The fore wings
expand about three inches, are of olive
green color, with wniii=h line extending
from the bsse To the tip of each wing. The
rear wings ere b'atk, with rose coiored
band extending Ieug,h gise through the
middle. Mr. Cooke says this moth is quite
common in this Stale and may frequently
be seen at evening tw light lowering over
flowers like uumiuiHg-bird, and is fire.
quently mistaken for them
The greatest damage bat hss been caused
The present Jason, at any one place, go
far as known, Is upon the premises of
Mr.. Bowman. midway between Auburn
and Clipper Gap, where his large
vineyard has been stripped of every
leaf, and some of this years shoots are
eaten back to a stub of from quarter TO
oDe-thrd of an inch in diameter at the pro-
iecting end This damage was done in
from two TO three days after the pests made
their appearance, and against which no
successful effort or remedy could be APP
piled.
Mr.. Bowman states i MS his belief that
the caterpilars Matched out from eggs laid
by the moth in nnplowed ground adjoining
bis vineyard, rs these sphinx were preyi-
ously seen there in large numbers, and q
weed also abounds in the vicinity of which
the caterpillar of the moth is very fond.
Having devoured all the foliage in the
vineyard the pests commenced marching

Az ABSURD DECISION.

If the Vice-Chancellor of New Jersey
has decided the Hutchings-G George bequest
case, as reported, he has made stupid
blunder, and has done the cause of free
thought and freedom harm. Hutehings
left $4,000 to aid Henry George in print
ing and distributing works expository of
his land theories. 1t is said the Vice
Chancellor has decided the bequest in
valid, because Georges doctrines concern
ing real estate tenures are in violation of
the laws Of the land, and because the be-
quest was neither charitable benevolent
nor educational. The bequest is direct
and nnambieuoUs. II it had been simply
direct gift to Mr.. George, it would been
held of binding effect, no heirs being
wronged by exclusion without cause. But
because ii directs for what purpose Mr.
George shall use it, the Court inquired
into that purpose, as it had right

laws recognize. Coming down 10 that,

caterpillar of the white. lined sphinx grows
to length of about four inches, while the
army-worm at full size is but little over all
inch long. Matthew Cooke describes the
almv-worm and its work as follows:
When fully grown it measures little
over an inch in length, is of dingv, vel
vetyblack color, with white line on the
rack and four light lines on each side of
the boy; the two uppermost lines are
hite, the two lower ones yellow. The
head is yellowish, and marked in front
with two curved blackish lines The in
sect plays two roles-one as a cut-worm,
living concealed during the daytime and
coming forth at night to feed, and the
other as an army worm, migrating
from one field to another, devour-
ing everything before it. 1t is in this
latter caracity that this insect has figured
the most conspicuously. 1t feeds upon the
leaves CT various kinds of grain and grass,

The cs:erpillars of this species which act
as CIT worms, attain larger size than those
which migrate from one place to another,
end their colors are more obscure"
