HH, LOWDER New Home Township ARMY WORMS MENACE CROPS Practically All Over Entire County. Young Corn, Meadows and Pas- tures Suffer Greatest. The ravages of the army worm on the growing crops of nearly all kinds are being reported from all sections of the county. They have practical- ly devastated the pastures where they are in appreciable numbers and the meadow lands have suffered greatly. While the ravages of the worms are very apparent upon’ the wheat, the impression exists in many sections of the county that no great amount of damage has been done this grain, be- cause of the fact that in the greater number of instances, the bugs have stripped the leaves from the stalk without doing great harm to the head. The young corn is apparently the greatest sufferer of the grains from the pest, many instances being re- ported where several acres have been cleaned up within a short time.

He says the green bug is also noticeable in the wheat throughout his neighborhood. A report from the Page and Deihl neighborhood on Round Prairie indi- cates that all grain, pastures and meadows are falling before the march of the worm. Mrs. Sam Starr said Tuesday that the worms in that neighborhood seemed to be in bunches and that .at that time not a great deal of damage had been done to the wheat. J. M. Green says that the worms are taking the pastures and fields in Shawnee. ey George Witter. reports practically the same condition in West-Boone. A few have appeared in spots in East Boone township and in some sections of West Point they are num- erous and-doing great damage. «.
