Beet Worm Wreaks Havoc on Greeley-Ault Sugar Beets
A sudden sugar beet worm outbreak devastates crops across the Greeley Ault district. Reports cite 40 to 80 acre losses on multiple ranches as farmers battle the pest with Paris green. The worm hatches from large moth eggs, grows to an inch, and strips leaves, injuring crowns. Some districts near LaGrange report lighter impact, while a replacement sap-eating worm emerges in Peckham. Meanwhile a lockless theft at Comer meat market netted 10 to 20 dollars during the circus parade.
