From the Social Ridge country
south of Lexington comes many re
ports that the cut worms are doing
much damage to the growing grain.
It mav be army worm or wire worm,
or whatever you may have a mind to
call it, but its destruction of the fall
grain has caused many farmers to
reseed at this late date. The ground
has been so cold that it causes the
worms to work nearer the surface
where It is warmer. As the ground
becomes warmer the worms are driv
en deeper in the ground and below
the roots of the growing grain wnere
they can do no damage. It is to be
hoped some means will be devised
to combat this pest in the near future.
