Cutworm Again in Active Evi
dence.
T acoma , July 13.—The variegated cut
worm (peridrome saucia) which made sad
havoc last summer inpractically all of
.he region west of the Cascade Moun
tains, has again made its appearance.
The vanguard of the cut worm army was
first noticed a few days ago in the Puy
allup Valley, and the worms are increas
ing with great rapidity. It was about
this time last year when the cutworms
first made their appearance. They were
in such numbers as to devastate thous
ands of dollars’worth of gardening and
crops.
C. A. Tonncson, a prominent Washing
ton agriculturist, and others, who have
made a study of the methods of the cut
worms, and their raiding proclivities, do
not believe they will appear in numbers
to do any great amount of damage this
year. It is thought that the pupae of the
worms have been afflicted with a parasite
during the past winter, which has swept
entire colonies out of existence. The
metamorphosis of the worm is accom
plished by its burrowing into the earth,
alter it has run its race. There it goes
into the pupa stateandsomewhat resem
bles the chrysalis of a butterfly, and in its
apparently safe subterranean retreat
spends the Winter. There is a minute in
sect, however, which often hunts up and
deposits an egg in the pupa, and this up
on hatching out, feeds upon the pupil
nest in which it is hatched.
These parasites are among the best
friends the farmer has and Mr. Thontie-
son and others are inclined to believe
that they have been doing an immense
amount of business during the past win
ter, considering the enormous amount of
worms that went into the pupa state.
In the Puyallup Valley and other por
tions of Western Washington the num
ber of the worms was incredible, and
after they had cleaned lip gardening and
farm produce, they turned their atten
tion to the trees of the forest, wild vegi-
tation and undergrowth.

were not exempt, the worms climbing
the trees and voraciously attacking the
foliage.

exploded to open the vault.
The noise aroused citizens, who sur
rounded the building, but the robbers re
mained in the bank for an hour, making
repeated attemps to force the strong box,
meanwhile keeping up an exchange of
shots with the villagers. Finally the
bandits fled in two rigs which had been
previously stolen.
There was only $800 in the strong 1
box, the package of $1500 having been
received too late to be placed therein last
evening. The loss is recovered by insur
ance.
