P. 203. April 1799. "A new enemy to agriculture made its appearance
"in this month. A destructive grub worm was discovered
"in several parts of the cultivated ground; and at the
"Hawkesbury a caterpillar had commenced its ravages wherever it
"found any young grain just shooting out of the earth. This occasioned
"some delay in sowing the government ground." —

P. 272. November 1799. "The wheat crops at this time nearly
"ready for the reaper, wore the most promising appearance, the
"stalks every where, particularly at the Hawkesbury, bending
"beneath the weight of the richest ears of corn ever beheld in this
"or indeed any other country. But, like other countries, a crop was never
"was to be reckoned in this, until it was gathered into the barn.
"About the middle of the month there fell a very heavy storm of
"'thinder thunder, lighting, and rain, attended also with a shower
"of hail from the S.E. that beat all the fruit off the trees, and
"destroyed the gardens in and about the town of Sydney, though it
"was not felt more than two miles from that place. A heavy
"gale of wind & rain took place at the Hawkesbury the day preceding
"the storm at Sydney, which laid much of the wheat, and
"beat down one end of the public store. This destructive weather, having
"subsided for a day, recommenced on the 20th, and continued without
"intermission until the 25th, when it again cleared up; and,
"to increase the vexation, myriads of caterpillars were found destroying
"the young maize." —
