r. l.. Magill, the real estate man.
spent yesterday in Fruita and he
states that many of the ranchmen of
the lower valley are having trouble
with a species of worm. The pota-
toes, the sugar beets and even the al
falfa are being assailed by the pests.
Much damage has already been done.
The ranchmen are working early and
late spraying the crops, and believe |
that they are succeeding in the work
of eXterminating the worms. 1t Is
thought by many that the worm is of
the species referred to in the com |
munication to The Sentinel from the !
professor of zoology of the State Ag- !
ricultural College at Fort Collins, |
which was published in The Sentinel |
a few days ago. He referred to a |
worm that had made its appearance
among the sugar beets of the valley /
and warned the ranchmen against its /
ravages.

the different buildings. This i'm |
provement will be striking one and |
will add much TO the beauty of the |
grounds. A contract was also let to |
John j. Lumsden for the work of |
