WHEN CATERPILLARS PENDLE


By GWILYM WHALLEY F.B,E.S„


TN June, 1881, Clitheroe seethed with excitement, .hews- papers were reporting the extraordinary spread of cater-j


piUers in the neighbourhood—on Pendle Hill, principally, at' the western part and about the Nick of Pendle. Crowds of people visited the neighbourhood to a sp e c t them.


The caterplllers had a soft cylindrical body, and varied in length from three-quarters of an inch, to an inch and a half,


They had three pairs of


shorti horny, thorn-llke legs In th e front' arid four pairs of false feet or “ dingers ’’—little fleshy protuberances, on w|hlch they crawled.


■ • Their colour; was a dark,


shiny olive, felleved with two or three thin, well-defined yellow stripes along the whole length of the upper p a r t of the body.


The under portion was of a' uniform lighter shade. Natur­


alists of the time differed ln» their designation. One was of the opinion th a t I t was i th e Stiver Y Moth while another thought th a t It was the larvae of the Antler or Grass Moth.'


FARMERS WORRIED


The caterplllers attracted a tremendous number of crows,


. starlings and other gregarious birds, which, to some extent, reduced their numbers.


Farmers in the Pendleton


district were so worried over the damage done to their


, crops by these pests, th a t they contemplated digging a large trench along the bottom of th e .


By N A T U R A L IS T disappearing beauty around us


indeed fortunate as now we can only rely . on description and


photographs. 'What our forebears saw some 60 years ago can only


be visualised by reference to the odd article written in those days. One: of these mentions the


base .(if the cross which, dating back to the middle ages, is still to be; seen on the left of the carriageway.


Of 'the hall itself is Is stated


that according to Dr. Whittaker parts of the building are not later than Edward III, 1334; and in 1740 Bishop Pocock thought it- to be the oldest' gentleman’s residence to be seen in England.


Descriptions of the banqueting


hall are striking. This was 33j- feet by 119i-fect and together with the minstrels’ gallery with its gigantic beams and planks would put to shame the fragile timbers of our generation.


Reference itod, is made to the


furniture and in particular the cak 'chest just by ithe king’s room and bearing the dale 1577. 'What impressive items these were.


PALM HOUSE A particular item which


always attracted my attention was the delightful carving by the eminent artists of the day. The


various panels in fine bass relief depicted a wide range of scene and immediately captured the eye and imagination.


: and magnificent palm house were


•tlielr ! vineries, tropical plants, orchids and underground fernery


"also unique. T ^ palm house ■ was 60 feet long by 35 feet wide. Here In such a spacious place


exotic j blooms were to be seen


land bananas, peach and nectar­ ines, gave a choice assortment to the owners.


A visit in ithose days would


not be complete without a glance at ;the fine stables,, horses and: coaches ' which at that tube yevlved memories of a beautiful district with fast disappearing old-fashioned roadways.


i


Impressive also, if somewhat gruesome, was the perfect skele­


ton of the horse “Balloon Boy” and the hound “Milton Spanker” together with their human '.ikele- ton attendant. -

But a gang of Burnley


youths broke Into Ijls show and scattered the Insects f i r and wide. Mr. William Hanson, car i-

H O you believe lii what thi ^ stars foretell? A colleague is beginning to wonder whether there Isn’t something In It after all.


One day last week his stars,


according: to a national dally newspaper, forecast th a t he would be visited th a t evening by an old friend of the family who he had not seen for a long time.


J He was relaxing in the chaljr


a t home the same night wheiji there was a knock a t the fronjt door. Yes, you’ve guesSed! was the old family friend!


The stars were a Uttle, morfe


accurate th an a rumour circu­ lating In Whalley las t week. I t was said th a t a man had


won £75,000 on th e Derby. A check was made. He had, it seemed, drawn a horse, but it’s running yet apparently a n l the man Is still wondering what It feels like to be rich!

' T SPOTUG'HTS FARMS NEW TV FEA' j By JOHN BRITTON ‘


jl^CCORDWG to the B.B.C., well ove - half of all farmers and farm worklers are in a position | to look in oh TV, when they I have the time. The question of when th a t is a special farming TV


creates a pjroblera for the planners of programme due to commence in October.


The primary object Is to use television’s great educational


potential to keep farmers and their men lip-to-date on late'st developments, new techniques and ImproVed equipment.


•But I doubt' If farmers wUl


be the only ones with an eye to the screeh'When the “all- seeing eye” ; moves into the country.


: | The B;B.C.: are concerned


only with their farming audi­ ence. They do not Intend to devote time ! to explaining


: things to non-farming viewers, who may And the subject of great interest but the com-, mentary somewhat technical.


Many of the terms used by


farmers were once p a r t of our ' general vocabulary but they


have now been forgotten In the towns. In addition, the progress of ag r icu ltu re 'h a s brought new : scientific terms Into common itse.


I wonder how urban viewers


will react to commentators who .talk o f ! stripping, top-: dressing, slagging, drenching, poaching, lodging or drilling, when none of t]hese words have the same meaning In i their owfl vocabulary? i ' *


* ONE HORSE-POWER


^ H E B.B.b. programme, which Is to be based In


Birmingham, may bring home • to many people the vast strides which farming has taken during the last few years. I can only hope th a t the technical nature of a pro­ gramme devoted to an Inten­ sively productive and modem Industry, wlll. not make town viewers feel barred from the country.


‘ * The fact th a t some people


are as lost In;farming discus­ sions as I am when lawyers s ta r t talking, Is borne out by a reputedly, true story a t p re- I sent going the rounds.


j ! A farmer who applied for a supplementary petrol ration Informed the authorities, In response to their query, th a t he used fo r ! ploughing one tractor and one gelding.


He received coupons allowr


ing 100 gallons for the, tractor and, for scime .mysterious reason, 20 gallons for the horse.


' ' \ ; The term hogg, meaning a


young ewe th a t was not sold during the summer Iamb sales and has not yet been shorn, has caused ; confusion arid embarrassment on a t least one occasion.


A’ county court judge, hear­


ing a case between two far­ mers,- accused one of them of lack of respect for the d ignity' of the court when he claimed ! that-he could not get a decent clip of wool irom his hoggs. The judge theiught h? knew a pig when he heard of one.


* ' *. # - AGRICULTURAL SHOlyS


^pHE country reaches out to the towns, particularly,


during the summer, when people on holiday wander a t leisure through the country-, side, or visit; the numerous' agricultural shows th a t are


now beginning. ' ■ ■ I ■


On such dccaslons British


farming goesi on show with demonstrations of Its skills and displays 6f Its finest pro- ,ducts.


‘ j . At some [of them the


“Mountlei” w;ill add colour to the' show r i n i and a t ’ others the world shearing champion from New Zealand will show his paces.


| When town and country rub


shoulders a t the shows the old problem of neighbours talking different languages will come up again. I s p k k from experi­ ence.


At my first ishow I listened


to three men discussing “rations for stores.” although a t th a t time the queues had
