'When they read in' the newpapers that millions of these destructive pests have have crossed the border of -Oxford county and attacked the crops of the farmers of Brant, they little realize that already whole fields have been laid waste, and that the farmersare facing a situation the like of which they have never before been called on to face, and that unless prompt effect- ive steps are taken to stop the onward progress of the crawliug pests, the sit- uation will in the very near future be a serious one for residents of the city as well 'as for the farmers, to many of whom the visit of the army worm will probably spell ruin. Not merely in thousands or millions but in billions, the army worm -is to: day marching through the country, lay- ing bare a path several miles wide and doing damage the extent of which it is difficult to estimate. Already more than one farmer has lost practically his entire crop for the season, and for those who have not a reserve stock to fall back on, the situation is indeed serious. In other cases pasture fields _ | bave 'besn stripped as though swept by 'a prairie fire, and live stock is suf fering as a result, with little prospect conditions becoming any better ti 1. {during the present season. : On a trip to that district the first effects of the work of the worm were {a jis es aching Bund} ce of | moticat ma Elementary--Miss Kathleen Leask |} e being frightened by, d | ning out, and upsetting. the Very narrow part "of the where a ditch is very deep I protected by a railing, on the "boun- dary line between Mariposa and Reach. : be raised by the Township 'of Reach, in'the year 1914, for Comnty pu poses, is $6108.65." * From Henry Davis, sheep eakitor, certifying that he had examined Geo.
