During the past . few weeks persons coming here, from White Towns, Union, Dawson, Fotsythe . and other . counties sur rounding them have reported over a score of deaths from this cause. At . first the many mysterious deaths "-"were not understood, though all occurred after, eating cabbage. ..Then a farmer in White county,, in gathering cabbage dis covered a worm about tsvo inches long and -about ) the size of a needle, He says when he touch ed the.leaf the worm that was on it licked "out its tongue like a snake and actedin every way like a reptilo. -Becoming alarmed, he sent the worm to the state chemist who reported that it. contained enough poison to kill fifteen per sons. Jhe worm, is so small that it is hard for -housewives to find it 'when1', "preparing cabbage for cooking, and many have been cooked" in this way. -The cabbage crop is of great value in this sec tion, but the discovery of the worm has completely t.nnihiliated it.
