The Army Worm.
Reports from different farmers OF
that neighborhood seem to indicate
that the army worm is ravaging a
large part of the territory to the
northwest Of York. Mr.. Geo. 8. VIII
liams informed the reporter last Sat
urday that the worm was working
great injury in his pea field, and he
was all the more worried because peo-
pie who professed to know advised
him that the worms would continue
to operate on the pea vines even after
the latter had been harvested. Mr.. f.
M. Stewart who lives about three
miles north Of Beersheba says that the
worms made their appearance on his
place a few days ago. They first
struck a patch Of about FIVE acres OF
grassy cotton and cleared the grass out
Of 1t to the last spear without doing
any other damage. Then they went
across a pea field cutting swath
about 100 yards wide. Mr.. Stewart
says his turkeys are working on the
worms greedily and great swarms OF
winged insects seem to be preying
upon them also. Where the worms
came from Mr.. Stewart does not
know; but behind the cotton patch in
which they made their first appear
ance there are about fifty acres OF
woods.
