ARMY WORMS BY BILLIONS.
Stripping Cotton Fields Bare-Eveg
Streams Do Not Stop Them.


Streams Do Not Stop Them.
Jackson.-Reports from the state PEN
itentiary farm at Parchman, in Sum
flower county, are to the effect that the
invasion of "army worms" there is
something terrific, that nearly 5000
acres of cotton have been stripped by
the pests, and they appear in countless
billions. The bitches are filling with
them, and the stencil from the decaying
worms where they drown in the bitches
and turnrows is reported as unbearable.
The number of worms is almost in
credible and beyond all belief. The
windows of the houses on the Parch-
man farm, which are not screened, are
kept down, and the wriggling creatures
seem to be everywhere in myriads.
Another thing that is curious about
them-the "army" is travelling south.
Nothing stops them. They come to
ditch and the first few thousands fall
in and are drowned. They keep pouring
in that ditch until it is level. Those
underneath are killed, but the uncount-
ed millions pour on across, and fill an
other ditch if necessary, and many more,
with no apparent diminution in their
numbers.

and none Of the family recalls the hr-

matter with my mother, it occurred to
us that, were the shoe on the other foot,
we would be glad indeed to have the
sword returned to us, and it is with
this object in view that I am writing
this letter.
IF you are in a position to put me in

in order that it may be placed in the

Tupelo.-An investigation of the

damage, the first in Mississippi that has
seriously cut into the cotton yield and
made certain that the crops affected
cannot recover, except perhaps in
small way. There are in the prairies
acres and acres and field after field that
have been denuded of every vestige of
foliage and the stalk stands as bare and
naked as in mid-winter, save for the
grown and half-grown bolls. In many
fields the worms so voracious that they
have eaten up the small young bolls.
The work of these leaf worms is very
distinct from boil worm damage.
