PLANT LICE RIDE ON
 AUTOMOBILE WINDSIIEIDS

Windshields of incoming automo- piles that have traversed the country side around and about this city, coin cidently, with the jump of the mer- cury over the 90 point during the last few days, bear evi6ance of the pres ence of the deadly aphides or plant lice, that in former years have caused so much destruction to the growing vegetation of all southern New Eng land. The aphis has been rather pro life in other nearby states. especial 1y in Massachusetts, and because the deadly insect has been so late in ar irving in this neighborhood. it has been thought that the scourge might pass us by this season. But automo- bilists who have been out in the country during the last few days. have had innumerable instances of the presence of the much dreaded scourge and farmers and growers of all kinds of plant life are cautioned to be on their guard and prevent the spread of the aphides as much as possible.
