THE COTTON WORM 



(ANOMIS XYLIN/E), 

 ITS HISTOEY, APPEARANCE, PREVENTIVES 

 AND DESTROYERS. 



When fires devastate or floods destroy, their ravages are usually confined 

 to comparatively limited damages, which insurances or other protective 

 agencies cover ; or, if the visitations are more extensive and severe, the 

 the whole people sympathize with the sufferers, and give substantial and 

 willing aid in making up tlieir losses. Whe a a large conflagration or de- 

 structive storm sweeps away a portion of a city or through a rural district, 

 the disaster is regarded as a common calamity, and immediately meetings 

 are held, money liberally subscribed, and every measure taken to relieve 

 and reimburse the victims of the catastrophe; but when the more destruc- 

 tive army worm makes its ruinous raids on the cotton fields, crippling 

 the energies and destroying the hopes and means of subsistence of the tens 

 of thousands, there is little commiseration for the planter, or for the mer- 

 chant, tradesman, manufacturer and hosts of others involved in his mis* 

 fortune.
