THE ARMY WOliM WITH US The anay worm lias made iW appcarauco in this tovnisbip. The first news wc have heard of iti proximity was furnished by Mr. H. Oliver of the South Line, who says ho noticed its depredations first in a field of oats on Friday last, and since then has discovered its presence in thousands. He brought some specimens to town Monday morning and they are now on exliibition in this oihoo. Mr. Oliver has seven acres of oats avci aging 5 ft. 8 in. in height and the grubs are levelling this. 1', vill no doubt Le difccovcred in other localities, and farmers should bo on their guard. Two weeks ago we gave a lengthy urtic'.c un the hab- its of the grub and remedies for iis destruction from the pen of Professor Panton, and this proved very timely, as it placed valuable information in the hands of those who were likely to be troubled wiih '.he post. A farmer writing to the press ftoni eastern Ou- taiio states that he successfully coni- batted the grub a few years ago with quicklime, dusting it over the spots infested. This, it is claimed, will operate as well as I'aris ^rteu and dues not contain the dangcioua cle- luenls of the latter. We intend to preserve some of tlio " pets " wliieh Mr. Oliver presented ns with on Mou day, and the show is free to ull wiio desii'c to make the acquaintance of Mr. "Leucania Uuipuucta," as Prof. Panton uifurms us ho is called in Latin. While the grub is partial to grocu oats he is not altogether averse to ripe grain, and trims off the leaves and grain head, cutting the stalk. As Iho season is pretty far edvanued it cannot do so much dannige as other- wiso, but still it can do a gieat deal if it comes iu sufficient numbers. Mr. Oliver iuforrtis us that he discovered myriads cfniiiuUe worm;: just Imtched, and no telling what tiioHe will do if not destroyed. Vigorous measures will no doubt be taken to annihilate them. The North Orey Liberals have tendered the noniiuation for tluit couitituency to Hon. \Vm. Patterson of iiranlford. Mr. McLaughlin will iigiiin be in the field as the Conserva- tive btandaid bearer, and it will now be biscuits against biscuits, with chaucos in favor of the homemade article.
