Complaint is heard of a pest that is
working on the clover and timothy fields.

in the middle and tapering at both ends.
It works on the leaves of the clover. fll-
ing them with holes, and has more of a
hankering for the clover than it does for

dance of rain this spring has caused such
growth of the grass fields that the ravages
OF the worm can not keep apace.-Quarry-
