As It was, however, about 800 persons—inembers of the Association from different parts of tho two counties, and inhabltants of Wauronta, te whom the oe- casion was veritable red-letter day, resorted to the pretty little grove southwest of tho town, in whieh the reunton was held, and the affalr was n gratifying sucecss in numbers as well asin spirit, ‘Lhe charne of tho roads improved as the day wore on, owing to the combined agency of wind and sun, 80 that If the Journey to Wauconda was not so pleasant or as Inviting as it mbsht have been, the return ridv was as agrecable as it was invigorating.

In viow of the fact that tho pest {snow spreading Northward, Prof, Com- stock’s observations become of especial Im- portance, Of THE ARMY-WORMS IN DELAWARE he says: “Tfound that ttils Insect nd committed great. rayages, eapecinily In fletds of wheat andcorn. In every instance I observed they first uppeared in whent. After destroying the leaves and beard of tho wheat, aud in some Instances eating Inte the upper ond of the kernels, they marehed, or uttempted to airch, into neighboring fields, ‘Che grentest injury dono was to corn, which, betng tender, was eaten to the ground wherever it was on- cotinttered by the worms In their march, “The farmers of that county have been vigorous in thelr efforts to protect them- selves from the spreading of this pest; and in many instances, by means of ditches and pits, have succeeded in saving Inrgo fields of corn, and wt tho sume time trapping and de- stroying millionsof worms, ‘The danger in that scetion for this season is nearly past; but In localities further north, where tho pest Is later in nppoaring, much remains to be done.” PROF, COMSTOCK’S ACCOUNT OF THE ARSY- WORS, condensed from a paper on the subject pre- pared for the next mnual report of the Agrl- cultural Departinent, Is us follows: “Tho adult insect is a night-llying moth of adull brown color, marked In the centre of vach forewing with a distinct white spot, and with an expanse of wing offs Httle over an Inch and theee-qu arters, “Tho egg is white, and almost perfectly splierlen]; its average dlameter fs 21,000 of aninch, “Che moth deposits her eggs in the folds of teaves of grass or gralu, nearly ale ways concealing them from sight by pushing them down In the enfolded portion of the leaf, or by cementing the edges of tho leat together over them.” ‘The eggs may be ald shigly or hi rows, which sonietines contain ag niny as fifteen or twenty. “Phe form and color ot the larva are too well known to require deseription here, ‘The duration of itslife in this stage varies from fifteen to thirty days or inore., When full grown the worms ‘burrow for an Inch or inore Inthe ground, and there transform to pupal. ay ‘he pupa ts dark brown in color, aud about three-fourths of an tueh in length, “The number of generations ina scagon yarles greatly with the elliate, ln the Northorn States if lug always been sup nosed to have but one generation, Profs, Thomas and French state that thero are normally two broods in Northern JlInols, and probably three In the more southern por- tony of that State. Prof. Riley has demon, strated two broods normally and threo broods exceptionally In the latitude of St, Louls, Furtuor ‘south, during winters of untisual mildness, a succession ‘of broods ts kept ‘up through the entire year. Durhy the present winter (1870-180) we havorecelved full-grown worns, with accounts of damage to winter gran in the months of December, January, and February, from localities as far north as Union County, South Carolina, and Marion County, ‘Tennesssee, Ordinarily, however, in theso States, and always further north, tho Insect lies dormant through the winter months, “Concerning the hibernation of the army- worm writers, have long differed, We cun now sifely state that It passes the winter both in the moth and chrysalis state, the former belng mors common In the southern part of the country, and the Intter In the northern regions, “Phere Is lao w possiblity, that the full-grown worms hibernate more or less frequently: in eithor case, 13 soon ns the weathor becomes warm In the spring, the moths emerge from thelr pupal eases or thelr hibernating quarters, and lny tholr eggs us before deserlbed. ‘The duration of the egs state Jy from clght to ten days.

Dr. Fitch observed that the yenr 1801 was very wet, while that of 1800 had’ been extremely dry, On examining tho records he found that bi previous worm years the season in which the worms appeared was wet, while the preceding year was dry. Ile therefore proposed the thoory that ina dry senson this insect, having an” unlbnited extent of feeding Tangs, becomes great multiplied, “And, when it is thus multiptied a wot season and overflowed swamps drive tb out from its lurking place in tloelcs, allghting here and there over the country, Bit, on being thus rustleated, It finds ‘our arable lands too dry for It, and, fimediately on inn- turlng and getting [ts wings again, It filles back fo the vwampy, Whereby It happens that weseo no more of ft2<Prof, Riley adopted this theory, ond showed that the conditions in 1869 and 1875 (two imarked army-worm wee colnulded with those :entioued by Mitel.

Lu many: instances, however, those “roniedles are tine practleable, ‘fhe second Ine of defense re muti, and if woll earried out the result will not merely be the contining of the worms to the fh fo which they nppenr, but the destruction of them, also when thoy attempt to migrate to othor fields. ‘This fs done by the means of ditches and nits dug around the Infested fleld, or that to bo protected, ‘The ditches ean he iadeuuite raul ly.

Neto York Sun, June 4, Tho army-worm was discovered a week ago on the Connectlent shore near Stamford, in that peninsula called Old Greenwich, bounded on tho enst by MIN River, on which Stamford fs situated; and on the west by the Mianus River, ‘The farms on which the pests have appeared border on Long Island Sound, whilu those fletds of grain which nro grow- ing amtlo or mora from, the water are un- touched, ‘The worms aro mipldly traveling northward, however, and owners of growing crops furthor in tho Interlor walk around thelr flelds two or three times a day to seo whether the scourge has settled upon their young outs, corn, wheat, or rye. As far 13 could bo tearned, the ravages of tho worms on the Connecticut aro Included In these boundaries. Following the road leading from Stamford to Old Greenwich and skirting tho shore, tho farm of Enos Lockwood {s tho first one to be found wheres the grubs have a firm hold, First they attacked hia rye.
