WEB WORMS.
A New Pest Completely Destroying
Corn and Oats Crops in This
Spctinn

What with the frosts and the dry weather the
farmers in this section are having hard time
of it, but frosts and drouth are not the only
influences operating for the destruction of
crops. A new worm has made its appearance
in this section that is carrying everything be-
fore il.
A week ortwo ago. L. Weidler, who is farm
ing John Brillhard's place three miles south of
town sent word TO his fatherin-law, J. N.
Shaub of Logan avenue, to come down. Mr..
Shaub went down and his sOn-n-law told him
that cut worms were eating up his entire crop
of corn.
With Mr. Brillhard, Mr.. Shaub made an ex.
animation and found that the cornfeld was
Just full of little drab worms that were eating
the corn off right down TO the ground. But
he did not think theywere cut worms.
In order to find ont just what they were a
bottle full was sent to the entOmologist at the
state experiment station at Columbus. He
examined them and reported that they were
the famous web-wOrms.
These little pests are now swarming over
this section millans strong. They are new
thing here and are very destructive. They COM
pletely ended the usefullnes of Weidler's corn
field as well as numerous others. But they
like oats just well as corn and a farmer from
north of New Berlin reports that they have
cleaned up fourteen acres Of oats for him until
there is nothing left.
These worms are about half an inch long
and have black head. They look like an
old fashioned cut worm but are smaller. They
are also more active. cut worm is a lazy
fellow and if you touch him he plays possom.
Tho web worm is a traveller and makes good
time in the field.
The advice from the experiment station was
not very consolng. They said the only thing
to do was to replant crops and run the chances
These web worms however will weave web
in a week or so now and give up the ghost

The BusbeI BOX For Market.

Farmers and dealers in the Boston
market claim that the bushel box is
more convenient than the bushel basket
for gardening and market purposes. In
fact, the basket has never been used in
the local trade to any extent, its use be-
ing confined to the New York and Phil
adelphia markets more especially. The
New Englander adopted the box from
an economical point Of view, as it can
be returned and credit received for it,
while the basket cannot. 1t takes up
less room in the storerooms, and the
goods can be packed much closer in tiers,
with equally good ventilation, while the
contents are kept in much better shape,
and can be put in neater and more sala-
BILE packages.
The grower prefers them for the above
reasons. The Boston houses supply large
quantities of garden truck to the New
York and Philadelphia markets and
ship the goods in boxes. 1t seems Won
der that the New York marketmen
have not come to adopt the box more
generally when the above facts are con-
sidered, says American Cultiyator.

why Southern Eggs Are Small.

Here is what a writer in the Rural
New Yorker says:
do not think that the size of the egg
can be increased by feeding, though it
can be done by breeding. But believe
that an i'll fed, half starved hen would
not lay as large an egg as were she in
good condition. This, however, is only
theory ON my part. AS to small eggs in
the south, the stock, from what have
seen, is small, with considerable game
blood in it, which accounts for the small
eggs. Large chickens or fowls are almost
unknown in the markets An infusion of
Plymouth Rock or Wyandotte blood
would work wonders among southern
farmers, and the active interest now
shown by southern fanciers win bring
that about in time.
