Clean cultivation shook! be practiced th« rammer before tobacco is planted, thpe making conditions unfavorable for the egg which hatches the-worm. This is the advice of the United States Department of Agriculture’* investigators who estimate that tho damage done by the worm amounts to IS00.00P annually In Virginia alone, and Is also great In other east ern states raising tobacco. ' The de partment has just issued a bulletin fKo. 711 on the subject, entitled “The So-Called .Tobacco Wire Worm !n Virginia.” v ‘ The growing of crops of cowpras or crimson clover (preferably the former) the year before crops sub ject to injury are planted. Is one of the most satisfactory and practical mean* for controlling the pe*t. ^un- Tiier plowing and thorough prepara tion of weedy land are other mean* advised.. The egg* oT the pest are deposited- by moths in weedy Held* during July and August. They batch in a few days, remain over winter in the soil, and llnish<their growth dur ing June or July of. the following year, They are in their most active r > II ' JEI feeding stage when tobacco is plant ed. Injury to tobacco occurs when this crop is planted on land that was weedy during the previous year. Props planted on Jaud^ which ha* been undor clean cultivation are im mune. The weeds which have been found to Ih* (he more common natur al food plant* of the worm are the bur.nocn plantain, oxeye daisy, stick weed and whitetop. The pres ence of these weed* in meadows ac count* for Injury to tobacco when panted on sod. The worms when once established in land wrhere theif* natural food food plants are abundant have been found difficult to control \>rlour insecticides and repellant* have been tested, but without satisfactory re sults. 1- Fall or winler plowing has been found to reduce injury, but Is only partially effective, as some of the weeds uremsln alive and furnish food for the larvae until the tobacco or corn is planted. > The moth from wnich the wlre- Worm is evolved is medium or rath er small in sise and colored brown, yellow and white. Borne have metal lic marks on the fore wings which are comparatively long and usually narrow. * When raised the fore wings are rolled around the body and con ceal the hind wings, whicti aie folu- This gives the body the appearance of a tiny cylinder, and accounts for the term that Is applied to it of ••cloee-wings.” These moths fly mostly on dark afternoons or dur* iag the early part of the night. They are more common in open fields. When disturbed they-make short flights; rarely flying more than a few rods at a time. They usuailly alight head downward on the stems of plants, and their color often harmon lies so perfectly with their surround ings that they can scarcely be seen. They, therefore, seldom attract, at tention unless some important crop is attacked. ‘ * insert Also Attacks’ ('ora. The tobacco "wireworm” doe* not confihe its attack* to tobacco onlv. but is likewise a serious'pest to the i-orn ci;op. Injury ha* be--u noted in many localities where little tobac co la grown and it ia probable that damage to corn amounts to more than that. t<» tobacco. A* with tobac co. injury, is mosjt severe* when corn is planted on land which ha* been In weedy paature or meadow pr* ylously. or when planted on land which has not been under cultiva tion 'or i« e mbc- of ‘ar* i»<l win«h there l:na a tahl g.owtli of weeds. On such land it i* usualjt’ 'difficult to secure a satisfactory stand of corn, and the yield fs greatly re duced. In central Virginia • 'any Held* tinder observation w»*r • re planted several times and o vin^ to dSe lateness of the season when a stancTwas securtol the value to the crop was decreased fully one-third Torn dr tobacco planted on newly cleared land seldom, suffers injury. .Since the aperies of weed* which are 'the natural food plant* of the insect do not thrive in woodland, the lar- j yae gre not present when the crop i* planted. » ! The larvae attack the young corn near the *urfac-e of the ground Jfnd burrow into the base of the stalk*, the outer portion of the »talk being frequently girdled. If the stalks are small when attaked they Sire either killed or so stunted or dwarfed that thev ewyer fully outgrow the injury, and produce little or no grain. Muc h of the corn is-attacked just after the seed has* sprouted. The larvae' fre quently burrow into Hie folded leav es a* the corn is coming through the* ground. As the {eave* unfold they show transverse row£ of hole*. When the stalks reach a height of a foot or more comparatively little damage i* done.' Several larvae are frequently found aboyi the foots of a »nlgle stalk, an^ a * man . v as * 2 hav * b *“ t,u collected from a Ringle hill of corn In wet weather Injury is not apt to be so severe*, as the plant* are then more vlgorou8...and the weed*, which furnish suitable food for the worm* are more plentiful. As with tobaccn, corn ia attacked when the natural food supply of the worms b'seut off. The same methods 'of crop rota tion and clean cultivation are rec ommended for corn a* for tobacco.

A* the rknkfng member of the committee on post office* and post road*. Senator Smith has been art important factor in the nhaping of legislation affecting the postal ser vice In-the country.
