THE TOMATO OR TOBACCO WORM This insect is often very destructive to tomatoes and tobacco. Most country boys and girls know it and fear its ugly looking horn. When full grown it is four inches long, usually dark green with a number of slanting white lines along either side. It is so near the color of the plants that it is difficult to see it. During the summer months the worms are common, being most abundant in August.
