The army worm is reported as doing
great damage this season on the Eastern
Shore. Noticing this fact the Baltimore
Sun says: "There have been many discus
siOns and controversies among the agricul-
tnrrl journals relative to its growth and
habits, aud it is only within the last few
years that anything important has beeu dis
covered with regard toit. In maryland and
f,rther S.'u there are four or five genera
items in the course of Il year. The eggs are
hidden by the female moth at the base OF
various cereals or in the folds of grass
blades, usually in strings of fifteen or
twenty. l. the larvsB state, when they are
known as .rmT worries, they remain cou-
cetri by day and feed by night, and il is
only when occurring IN enormous mum bers
that they Lave the habit of marching from
tield to field in search of food, which habit
has suggested their popular name. The
second brood of the year, occurring i'll May
or June, Is usually the most destructive La
appearance the worms much resemble many
worms of common occurrence III this neigh
borhOod In color they are chestnut brown,
though when younger and more healthy
they are greeni,h brown. To prevent the
disastrous effects OF the worms the annual
burning of fields, straw piles, weeds and
other rubbish as late as possible i'll the
spring will do more than my hing else
W ben they have ape rcd in + rce they can
be prevented from pnssi.g from one field
to anCIhar ~ careful ,lIci ing. The side of
should be dus under and about every three
or .odr rods d deep hole should he dug in
" Mich tine worms viii collect and may he
killed by heapiug earth on them. The
bitches will be still more useful if the grass
on the outer side is busted with Paris green
or London purple, mixed with -four or
plaster. Instead OF ditching, where fence
lumber be easily obtained, line of it
may DO sci mp on edge and the top smeared
with Kerosene or better still, with coal tar.
Where the crop of field has been ceml letely
destroyed tie plan of crushing them BY
means of Leayy rollers has been tried, but it
is an Expensive remedy and not very sariS-
