NOT THE ARMY WORM.
James Henry Rice Says the Pest Is the
Leaf Caterpillar.

Leaf Caterpillar.
That the pest now doing great
damage to South Carolina cotton is
not the feared "army worm," as is
generally believed, but the cotton leaf
caterpillar (argillacea Alabama), is
the statement made yesterday by
James Henry Rice, Jr., state game
warden, and an authority on the
fauna of South Carolina. Mr.. Rice
explains that the cotton leaf cater
pillar has for years extracted its toll
from the cotton fields Of America and
uses the devastation at this time as
a hint to the people of the necessity
of preserving the insect-eating birds
of the state.
MIR. Rice's letter to the State is as
follows:
"The caterpillar now damaging cot
ton in the state is not heliophila uni
puncta (the army worm) but the
cotton leaf caterpillar (argillacea AL
abama), a pest that has taken toll OF
cotton ever since it was planted In
America, the damage running from
S15. 600. 900 to $50,000,000 a year,
ana even Ul6llCl SASSPNANhS~A , S~~~
"They are very different insects, al
though moths are the parents OF
both.
"In the first place, the army worm
belongs to the same family as the
boil worm (heliothis obsoleta) and
the common cutworm (Ypsilon agro-
tis). They live in low, wet places ana
certain years when they become too
numerous they are forced to migrate
in search of food. 1t is then they be-
come a menace. A line of army
worms crossed South Carolina in
1852. causing widespread damage;
mammoth host swung across Ala
bama in 1881. which was forty-four
miles in length. This latter was stop
ned by being parasitiZed by the tiny
Chalcis fly, the flies shooting eggs
into the bodies of the caterpillar and
the eggs hatching in two days mag
got that destroys the caterpillar.
Something similar happened on the
sea islands two years ago. 1900.
'"The cotton leaf caterpillar is gray
ish. with tiny hairs over the body;
dark stripes run along the sides. The
moth is brownish. sometimes white
ish. and there are roundly about
1000 eggs to the female. with from
two or three generations ANNUALLY.
They sometimes migrate In vast
swarms. -.
'Nighthawks or bullbats eat guam
titles of these moths in the late even
ings, as do whipporwills, screechoWls
and chuckwills- widows at night. 1t
is not uncommon to find more than
fifty of these moths in a nighthawk's
stomach-all Of which are females,
from which one can form a VIVID
idea Of the value of the nighthawk.
Robins eat quantities Of the pu-
pids in winter, tearing open the
cases to get at them. -.
"The present outbreak Of the cot
ton leaf caterpillar is one Of the many
instances, to which I called atten.
ton last winter before committee or
the general assembly, warning them
that before the boil weevil arrived
there would be insect outbreaks that
would jar the teeth in their heads.
"They will remember that whether
they are prepared to own 1t or not,
and for the present that much is suft-
cient."-Columbia State.
