"We spend all the money we collect from the cottagers and collect from the draw," he ex- plains, "so the prizes are worth competing for." 6.25 cu. ft. poly tray Brick Chips 20k Be $3,285 /bag 20 kg.

Several thousand people lined up to see the sophisticated weapons and navigation technology, and to listen to members of the crew talk about their active duty In the war zone. Joe Chaput, a naval weapons tech- nician, said the ship was stationed 120 miles from Kuwait, within range of enemy aircraft. His responsibility was manning a 40 mm gun for 12 hours a day, and he felt apprehensive about the possiblity of attack, especially as the Feb. 14 deadline approached.

For two weeks he has been finding giant worms or cater- pillars on his tomato plants. "I've already picked oft 50," he says. "And I only have 15 plants." The worms are about three inches long and half-an-inch thick. They are dark green with a sharp thorn at the rear, "and they bite," warns Mr. Balling. He picks them off his garden twice a day, dousing them in gas or dish detergeant to kill them. : Just recently, he discovered them eating the leaves on his potato plants. "I wanted to warn people about them," he says. "Last year there were a few, but not so many as this year." Mr. Balling advises farmers and gardeners to look for greenish-black droppings un- derneath their tomato and po- tato plants.
