Show A SHADE TREE WORM. The Little Festa Seem to Hnve Abandoned Abandon-ed the Fruit for Foliage this Year. This year a pestiferous little green worm is playing havoc with the foliage of some of our shade trees, particularly the Box Elder. Thousands of these diminutive creatures crea-tures attack a tree; perforate every leaf, leaving the trunk and boughs sickly and partly stripped by a premature shedding of the leaves. These little pests seem to have ignored most of our fruits this year and taken to the foliage of the shade trees in preference. This worm is not so large or white as the fruit worm, but it could come from the same egg; the difference in diet would work marvels in it S'z" and oolor. |
