The crops on the plantations be
low town are said to be suffering a
considerable damage from the
cane.cutting worms. In some
places quite an amount Of land is
bare of all vegetation, while on
some plantations we have DIVERSE
ned farming with a vengeance,
the ground growing at one time a
little cane, which by accident es-
capped the pest, some little corn
and q few peas. Nothing as vet
seems to stop the worms in their
Wholesale work of destruction,
which will grow on high ground.
The planters around the Irish
Bend are suffering somewhat from
the same cause. The damage,
while it is material, is. not at
present alarming, though, should
the worms increase to q great ex.
tent. they would in al probability
prove . dangerous menace to the
planting interests.
