Entomologists (Jive Further Particu lars Regarding Pest, Clemson College, Aug. 8- Special: According lo thc let lois received at Ibis oflloe tho cot ton rod spider ls (lo in;; considerable damage in many parts Ol' the Slate. Owing to thc number of calls for assistance in checking the ravages of this pest lt is Impossible for a man to bo sent lo each place. Thc cotton red spider is a very small Insect, about the Bise of a chicken mite, and is seen only on close observation. When plants are Infested the damage ls first seen at the base ol' the leaf. The leaf turns reddish in color, and this gradually spreads over the entie leaf, which soon falls off. On examination close ly the under side of the infested leaves the red spider will be found, sucking the sap out of the leaf. A line web ls made on the under sur face of the leaf, and beneath this the spiders lay their eggs, and an? supported while feeding. As they have no wings, the spiders must crawl from plant to plant or be car ried by some animal, as the horse or mule widle plowing. As soon as the damage is noticed, if it is routined to a few plants, these may be pulled carefully and burned. Any plants that are pulled up and then let! on the edge of the field will not check the damage, as dbe spider will soon crawl to fresh plants. Where the infestation covers too large an area to warrant the above procedure the plants should be sprayed at once with potassium sul phide, using three pounds to 100 gallons of water. lt is best even where a small area is involved to use the above mentioned spray over an area extending out at least llt*ty feet from the original place of infes tation. In spraying, he sure that tho under sides of the leaves are covered, as most of the insects are found un der the leaves. Tho cotton -red spider usually starts from violets, Jamison weeds, or Polo Nert y weeds. Violets are usually the starting points, and these plants should be examined frequently and carefully. If the spi der is found on them, they should be sprayed as recommended for tho cotton. The Jamison weed and the Pokeberry weeds should not be al lowed to grow anywhere near the cotton todds. As soon as the cotton becomes infested the farmer should see that the above plants are de stroyed not merely pulled up and left lying on the ground, but burned. If tiny are left lying on tin? ground the red spider will find its way to the cotton. Clean culture, ny destroying tlie weeds, especially those mentioned above, and deep fall plowing will do much to check or eradicate (his pest. The potassium sulphide for tlie spray can usually he purchased from drug stores, if lhoy do aol have it they will gladly order it for you from some wholesale drug company.

R?ckefell?r", 'Jr., Ha? Secur ed Mam of Evidence. New York.. Aug. 10.-Possibly the most Interesting development lu the many-sided investigation of the mur der of Gambler Rosenthal and its surrounding muck of police graft, is tho news of John D. Rockefeller, .Ir.'s Inquiry Into the lower world conditions, particularly as to the white slavo traffic. Whiio Mr. Rockefeller and his agents declino to discuss the matter, and District Attorney Whitman will furnish no ?letalis, it ls generally credited that through the establish ment of what purported to he a dis orderly house In the tenderloin, agents for Mr. Rockefeller have gath ered a great deal of valuable mate rial. Primarily this was to be used as a basis for legislation aimed to check the traille in girls, hut co-lnei den tally it dovetailed with tho Ros enthal Inquiry, because, it ls said, evidence was obtained showing that a police inspector was getting $(500 ll month from resorts for "protec tion." This data will be at the prosecu tor's disposal to use ??long with the < confession of "Haid Jack" Rose and ot hers. Rockefeller Hired Detectives. The Rockefeller evidence was col- . lected by Clifford Roe, n detective : who was active in the Chicago vice i crusade. Police Commissioner Waldo soeni od pleased with the news that tho younger Rockefeller had been trying to get evidence of police grafting. Tho commissioner said: "I hope Mr. Rockefeller has been successful in securing evidence which will enable the department to dis miss any rascal that may be guilty af wrong-doing." Chief Inspector Edward P. Hughes, head of the detective bureau, has broken down under the strain of the Rosenthal case, and Is seriously ill ut his home In Brooklyn of pleuro pneumonia. Alderman Curran, chairman of the special committee of the board of aldermen appointed to investigate police conditions, said to-day that thc committee would call before lt not only gamblers, but the owners of places whore gambling went on. "We intend to reach landlords who rent out their buildings for ille gal purposes," said Mr. Curran. "This may hit some whose names aro writ high In what we call social circles. But if they know to what purposes their premises are being used they should bo made to testify, and If they do not they should he glad to get information upon the subject." Detective W. J. Burns admitted to-day that Ills men have been tak ing part in the graft investigation. Agents of his. he said, had hoon working to secure evidence that "protection money" was being col lected from keo|>ers of disorderly houses and gambling establish ments, while otliers had secured po sitions as waiters in the Hotel Metro pole, in front of which Rosenthal met death. "I have," Mr. Burns said, "uncov ered a lot of evidence that will star tle the public when it conies out." WHERE DOCTORS FAILED TO HELP Lydia E.
