"I call them tho nut plno worm, hecouso thoy feed on tho nut plno tree; what tho scientific tmmo Is I do not know. On tho Mstorn slopo of tho Sierra Novnda mountains hi Southern California, botweon Bodlo and Bishop's creeks Is a groat stretch of thoso nut plno trees. Thoy boar a small nut oxtromoly rich In oil.

In August the ground under tho trees begins to bo covered with green norms, as thick at n mnn's flugcr and from ono nnd n half to two mid n half Inches In longth.

To prevent tho worms from escap ing thoy dig trenches around tho roots of tho trco, tho trenches having conenvo sides. I hnvo known of a busholof worms being taken from ono of theso trenches. When tho crop of worms has boon harvested tho Indians build fires on flat stones or tho hard earth. When tho bed has becomo hot, not hot enough to roast, tho worms aro spread upon It and dried. They nro then placed In tho sacks nnd carried to tho Pluto camps. A friend of mlno onco told mo that ho had ono season estimated that fifty tons of theso worms woro gathered nnd dried." "How do tho Indians uso tho wormsr "In sou Tho Plutes seem novor to tiro of soup. Thoy huvo It almost ovory day, A buck Is allowed two worms and n squaw ono for each illi'.i of soup.
