RavenOus Cut Worms.

Farmers are reporting their fields of
grass devastated by cut worms, which
climb up the blades of grass in the
night and cut it down SO that a -four
ishing field in a few nights has the ap-
pearance of being mown. T. R Har-
ris, who lives east of here, was the
first to report the pest, and says entire
fields of grass are ruined. The Com
pany's field north of handle works is
now attacked and the grass is pretty
we'll leveled
The insect resembles an ordinary cut
worm, slightly blacker in color. 1t
lacks the three yellow stripes charact-
eristic of the army worm. 1t was no.
ticed that where the insect was expos
ed to the direct rays of the hot sun
that it died in a short time, and hence
it is concluded that large numbers of
cut worms were Matched during the
warm days of March and April, and
that the unusual length of the cold
weather extending into the spring has
prolonged their existence, and if the
hot weather generally prevalent at this
time of the year, had prevailed they
would have passed in their checks.
Great damage to the hay crop will re-
suit.
