ers In the State.

Columbia.-The fall army worm
known among entomologists as Laphy-
gina frugiperda-has Just developed
its second generation In this locality.
The months OF the first generation ap-
peared about the first OF July, and the
worms" did their chief damage be-
tween July 10 and July rs. BY the
last OF July farmers almost univer-
sally testified that the worms had
mysteriously disappeared. Naturally
they believed that the pest had entire
ly left or had been exterminated by
some cause. Their hopes, however,
were soon to be shattered. The sud-
den disappearance Of the caterpillars
was merely due to the fact that they
had entered the ground for pupation.
During this pupal or cocoon stage,
which lasts about FIVE weeks, a won'
derful transformation takes place
while the motionless pupa lies buried
about one-half an inch below the sur
face Of the soil. At the end OF this
period the cocoon splits open and the
adult emerges as an ashy-gray color
ed moth. In fact, these second gen.
Grafton moths are already appearing
and preparing, each, to rear a large
family Of crop devastators.
Recent examinations In several
fields about Leesville discloses the fact
that many Of these moths are already
busily engaged in laying their eggs
within the tender buds of young corn.
About 100 eggs are deposited by each
female and from week to ten days
are required to hatch them. Not only
is 1t easy to see that the arrival OF
the new worms" is very close at hand,
but It Is also highly likely that the Sec
ond generation will be much more nu'
uerous in numbers than the first.

was brought to Florence and lodged In
fail to await the result Of injuries
said to have been inflicted by him on

LIVES IN HOLE UNDER BARN
Mourning Wife, a Retired Jerseyite
With Ample Income Spurns Soci-
ETY., and Lives Life of Hermit.

DENVILLE, N. Since the
death Of his wife four years ago John
D. Cooper has gradually withdrawn
from the sight of men. He now lives
like hermit in a hole he has dug
underneath the floor of his barn.
He has given his farm house over to
tenants, sees them only when COM
PEELED to, and dwells as much as
possible out of their sight.
At first Cooper let out a few rooms
of his house. One by one he surren-
dered a few rooms of his house to
tenants until last fall, when he mi
grated to the barn. He found him
self unable to keep warm in the
barn, yet, spurning the kindly offers
of his tenants, he set to work to
solve the problem himself.
Patterning after alternating ami
mails Cooper dug deep hole in the
ground and lined it with straw,
where he seems to be perfectly sat
isfied, though he never discusses his
own affairs
Cooper is II years old. He served
the Lackawanna railroad as section
foreman for so years, and was retir-
ed last August on pension. He is
also in receipt of a comfortable in
dependent income from the real es-
tate he owns.

SHOWS ORCHARD ACREAGE
Interesting Statistics in Pamphlet
Just Issued by Central Railroad.
Millions of Fruit Trees.

Vital statistics on this season s

Besides these statistics the pam
phlet gives a complete list of the
fruit, vegetable and melon growers

the size of the crop each grower has
planted. The statistics were COM
piled at great expense and give a
splendid idea of what sort of yield
may be expected in the sections
through which the Central runs.
1t is shown that there are 4,277,-
$40 bearing peach trees on the sys-
tenn; 167,300 young peach trees that
will come to bearing this season;
$4,000 young peach trees that were
planted in the fall of 1911; 98,895
young peach trees that were planted
in the spring of 1912; 1924 bear
ing plum trees; 29,712 bearing pear
trees; $4,000 bearing apple trees;
