WORK OF THE ARMY WORM.
Doing Great Damage in Many Parts Of
Oregon.

TERRY. Or. July 25.-rhe army
worm, as it is called, is working gad
havoc among the potatoes and vege-
tables by eating leaves and prevent
ing growth. This worm is large, soms-
thing similar to a cut-worm. and not
only fastens Itself on the plant, but
crawls into the ground in holes around
the plant. 1t is larger than the army
worm found in Kansas and Nebraska.
but closely resembles it in appearance
and habits. If it is the same. one en-
couraging feature is that its life only
lasts twenty days and then all danger
is past, hence the crop may not be
injured as badly as feared. As 1t is
now the fields are thick with the pest.
In the Middle States the worm leaves
moth or larva. which the cold weath-
er does not seem to kill, ready for
the next year. Here, he damp weather
seems to extermlnate the moth, and
consequently the pest is m unusual
occurrence. Inc plague is also preYa-
lent in Gresham. where the potatoes
and second crop Of clover are disturbed.
A little black worm. about an inch in
length, is also noticeable. but does lit
tie damage. Several farmers have been
using Paris green. in the hope Of
exterminating these pests, but 80 far
all remedies have proven failure.
Old residents claim they have rot
seen the pest since the Civil War, Of
which they were forerunner.
Harvesting is on this week by sev-
eral farmers, who are anticipating a
fair crop Notwithstanding the advent
Of the green aphis. which in some To-
calities are somewhat injuring the
yield ETF

CALIFORNIA CROP REPORTS.
On the Whole Very Promising Out
look. Especially for Wheat.


SAN FRANCISCO, July 25.-Informa-
ton received by the Examiner from
all parts Of the state. in regard to the
condition Of the crops this season. in
dicates that a very good average OF
production will be maintained. From
some sections there have come reports
Of failures. but they are not so mater
ial as to detract from what will evil
IDENTIFY be a standard OF general excel
lence. Frosts and late rains have In
some cases caused severe damage.
In the southern part Of California,
the yield OF deciduous fruit will
not be near as large as was expect
ed. OF citrus fruit there will be an
ample output. San DiegO's supply Of
lemons will be double what 1t was a
year ago. In the northern part Of the
state the late frosts were instrument
al in slightly damaging some Of the
fruit, but the Yield will still be large.
The reports on grain are generally en-
couraglng. the instances where failure
is noted not being serious enough to
make any great difference in the sup
ply Altogether the prospect appears
to be one Of most satisfactory char
acter.

The drought which has prevailed gem
orally In the New England states and

is seriously affected. and the yield will
be less than II has been for many
years: the farmers also report a great
shortage in the hay crop, and scarcity
Of food for cattle through the COM
ing winter Is anticipated.
In middle and southern New England
