end promises to go at once to work to
learn more about the worm and enter
! upon some experiments looking to its
i extermination. While these worms
! are scattered over more area than
, they were last spring, they do not
I seem to be as destructive in any par
' ticular place. Also, few are found
; this spring where they were most nu
merous last year. It is the current
i opinion here that it follows the whip
poorwill pea, being most numerous
where peas were raised last year.
