Professor C B Waldron notes a peculiar worm appearing from the Miagouri slope to Williston. Described as a blessing, the insect targets weed growth first and may move to flax, barley, and wheat if sustains. It resembles the army worm in motion and belongs to the same family. The worm initially feeds on weeds rather than crops.
