Plague Of Caterpillars.
The people arc waking up to the
fact that this is one of the greatest
caterpillar years on record. This
pest is usually except
the spring, but there have been
three crops this year. Along with
the caterpillar has another
pest shape of a small worm,
of a brownish red, with small White
streaks, infests certain of the
shade trees, notably the
wood poplars, by the thousands
literally strip them of leaves.
The superabundance of
worms and bugs is accounted
for by the long wet spell. Super-
Mose Thomas, of Elm-
wood Cemetery, has waged a re-
war on the pests all sum-
mer and by dint of hard work has
kept the cemetery comparatively
free from them. Asa result, the
cemetery trees look as green and
fresh as in the early spring,
striking contrast to of the
shade trees about the city. The
New York and Baltimore papers
have lately devoted columns

The only way to get rid of
