participated in it both the ogden and the wc weber ber rivers are considerably lower than they were a few days since still they are up pretty higland hig hand in one place or another they have done a GREAT AMOUNT OF DAMAGE many acres of valuable farming land llave bave been destroyed by the foods floods and many acres are still under water hundreds of bushels of grain and scores score of tons of hay have been ruined and it is reported that in some places the farmers will not be able to raise enough n oll oli grain to bread them through h the coming year communication iby teams is still cut off between here and ogden and weber valleys the people of the former place travel over the mountains to reach the city while the weber valley folks can come and return by rall rali la places distant from the ravages of the tho rivers ivers x the crops generally promise a prolific yield ven ahe the he frequent heavy rain storms have rendered irrigation thus far un unnecessary unnecessary and more time has been given to cui cut cultivating tt the land in lil ogden valley the crops are resorted 0 r t e to be in a more flourishing con 1 t i 0 n and to give promise of greater increase than they have done for a number of years past and the pe people I 1 c in this beautiful vale feel very grateful grateful 0 for the flattering prospects ME rESTI pestiferous FEROUS caterpillars have not as yet appeared in very lar large numbers in the orchards and gardens in this elty city all that has been discovered have been promptly de destroyed stroyd andas and as yet the trees look beautiful fresh fresha geen g een and full of foliage foli soli asre and ana fruit but in some of the settlements adjacent to this town the folks are not so fortunate in the north the pests are taking lucern and other ve vegetation as well as fruit it Is f feared ty by some who have set out very large strawberry beds this season that they will willbe be destroyed st I 1 was told this morning by a gentleman from the west side of the weber river that these devouring worms exist there by millions and are already very destructive fly aly ay iy informant said they are taking the ground fruits poisoning the lucern and also aiso commencing in some places to DEVOUR THE WHEAT where they exist in the fields in such myriads it is almost impossible to night fight and destroy them without atthe at the same time very much injuring if not ruining the crops whether it is better to let the worms eat cat the grain to kill them off or at least all that tut can be killed and at the same time destroy much of the present seasons grain and vegetation I 1 cannot tell but it cen ainaly would be very difficult to get at them now they are beginning to cause much anxiety among some of our gr angers THE HEALTH of the
