The Karly History of the "Worm-It? Natural Knemy-Thc Canses of the Destructiveness of the Worm-The Ef? fects of the Season and the Importance of Karly Crops-The Pith Theory-The Worm on Salt and Hasty Lands. IO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. The annaal recurrence of the cotton worm is bj no means a foregone conclusion. All rcbults depend on exciting causes, and this is manifestly so with the insect creation. In one season wo are annoyed by swarms of flies, gnats and mosquitoes, whilst in another wo aro almost exempt from them. In one our orchards and gar lens are made almost value? less by the presence of aphides and other in? sects. In another we enjoy an ontire respite. Sometimes these 6warms of insects uro repeat? ed for several consecutive seasons, and then suddenly they are gone, apparently without cause, yet undoubtedly from some controlling influence. It is thus with tho caterpillar aa with all others. We may as well count on the continuous recurrence of extraordinary mala? rial seasons as expect the constant recurrence of the cotton worm. Now, it is known that caterpillars of all kinds, at tho North as well as with as, were unusually prevalent during Hie pant, season. In 1867, the casaina {Ilex cassina) was stripped of its leaves entirely early in the summer by its own peculiar cater ??llar. This bad not been known to oceur bo? oro in many years'observation of tho plant, which, on accouut of its usc as a hedge plant, was in a posuiou to bo closely watched. Sea sen after season the plant escaped, but in 1367 it was attacked and overcome by its owu pecu Jiar destroyer. And this summer the ramie plant was attacked and stripped of leaves by a worm peculiar to it, and of very singular ap? pearance. About the period of tho Revolutionary war, the wheat fields were infested by tho Hessian fly, and such were thc ravages committed that the raising of wheat was almost despaired i>f, :&nd the advent of the fly fcarod even in Eu? rope. So, too, occurred the diseaso ol' tuc grape, which so materially reduced the vol? tages ot several yeare. So, too, the well-known potato rot, which had its thousands of victims, requiring the exportation of cargoes of graiu from America, lo Ireland. The cotton worm is tie insect peculiar to the xot ton plan?, and will feed, as far as known, on nothing else. It is easily distinguished from other worms by the experienced eye. This worm ia subject to be developed or not, accord? ing to the character of tho seasons and other circumstances, as its hal .ins; indicates, lt is itself, however, subject to be preyed ou by Booie other insects, as well as birds. My expe? rience teaches mo, however, that it is not readily devoured by our wild birds, and in this I think the most observant planters will agree with me. When orushed in tko fingers, or even whilst catine in a field, it emits a disa? greeable and nauseous odor. The insect which is suppo ?d to bo the most destructive to the cotton worm is the ichneumon fly. Ihis fly is a very active insect, aud can be seen darting about in search of its prey, lt puatnres Ibo living worm without apparent injury, and de? troit* iid own egg in the worra. The worm, at its appointed time, goes into the chrysalis state, from wh ch chrysales is hatched the ootton moth, which in time deposits its eggs on or under the leaves of the plant. Theso minuto cgea aro hatched into very small worms, at first scarcely percep? tible, the egg itself not being larger than the ordinary period mark (.) ot a penman. These little insects, a thousand of which may be pro? duced by one moth, rapidly grows, so that in a very few days they may bo even heard eating in the fields. Now, when tho ichneumon liv pierces a. worm that worm goes tuto tho chrysalis state, and instead of hutch lug a cot? ton moth an ichneumon fir is hatched, the em? bryo fly having fed upon and tatou up the U jnn within ita case. Thc presence of this fly or its abseuco possibly has much to do with the prevalence of the cotton worm. Unfortu? nately lor tis, very wet seasons, keeping tho wings of our frieudl.' fly clogged with mois? ture, destroy much of its activity, whilst tho sam? weather adds irreatly to the growth of the minute cotton worms, which live at first almost liko aphides on the moist and suc . eulent cotton leaf. When the worm is produced from exciting causes, whether of moisture, warm and murky weather, or some other hidden climatic condi? tion, not known to us, we havo simply tho be? ginning of the evil; but like yt?uug chickens or birds just hatched, thosurrou lding circum? stances must be favorable to their develop? ment, or the most if uot all of them periali. If the season is too hot and dry. or the plant too mature, the ichneumon fly abounds; or if thc season is too cold the little iusect perishes. I am convinced that we have tho worm or chrysalis with us always, subject to be proda duoed by oxcttm? causes. I saw theunmista ble chrysalis turned .*rom tho fresh plough fur rough last spring; took it in my hand, examin? ed it carefully, observed its peculiar motion, and was entirely satisfied as tc :*s being tne chrysalis of the genuiue moth. Another gen? tleman in my commuuity observed an unmis? takable worm as eariy as April or tuc first of May. He had a stuko driven nt the place, and at that veiy spot the cater pi "vs first made their appearance when they came lu numbers. 1 have been credibly informed by a* ither gen? tlemen that the moth baa beor? seen aiiofone taken about tho 7th of the present month, it seemed very teeblo and, though carefully handled and aud kept, it BOIO perisaod. There can be no doubt of this circumstance; aa the gentleman who look tho moth was perfectly familiar therewith und could not nave been mistaken. Thia boiuir tho caso, there is ground to hope that our unusually cold winter will destroy, to a yreat de?, co, the cotton in? sects. Lot me also state that the prevalence of .these insects m one season seems to ftavu no? thing to do with their prevalence iu another. They made their appearance earlier ia 18A6 than ever before or aincc, and tho crops were utterly eaten, und weeks earher than they were in the season just past. But the crop ot ISIS was much earlier in its gruwth than those OJ 1867 or 1868, aud the season by nu means so wet. The crop was, therotore, tar better thau the crops oi 1867 and 1868. I noticed last fall, beiore frost, tho weather being very warm at the time, myriads of the cotton worms, many ot themfullgrown, porisu ing in thc cotton alleys. We had at tho tune an intermission of the rainy weather, and the surface of tho oar.? was dry and very hot. 1 took many of them m my hand and lound them entirely dead. It may thus happen, from cno causo or another, that when they come early and strip the plaut of its tobago aud destroy the supply ol'food, as weil as shelter, these worms die out in great uuaibcrb, both from want oi food and ou account of tho scorching ra?sol Inc sun. In 1816 the sumo thing occurred. Tho worms then filled up the wheel ruts iu the roods and also the ditch corners, and myriads died in the hot sand. Be this as it may, the fact is, their was not one seen in 1547, and we escaped 'hem for many years afterwards. In the year 1860, the worms made their ap? pearance in my crop late in September and did me some injury. There was not one to be heard of iu any other direction around me. Vy crop differed" from thoso around me in one m ti erial particular. It was utterly destroyed by a very severe had storm ou the 27th day of May; it had to be planted all over, and there was not one originul plant in ten thousand that Burri ved. It was tbereforo extremely backward and suffered besides this so much after coming up from tho "leaf bug," that it was truly problematical, up to the 8th of Joly, whether it could make anything at ah*. The season, however, was good, and wheu the plant escaped it leaped into growth and fruited beyond all expecta? tion, producing a crop which I think my fac? tor's books will show was very nearly a bag to the hand. It was, however, far behind other crops in maturity, and tho crop of caterpillars, so to speak, though crowing slowly from the season being unpropitious to them, had made at a late period sufficient headway to do mo in? jury. My crop alone was found in tho condi? tion to sustain or grow them with facility. All others wero far too manure. Now, had the season been such os to dovelope these worms early in the growth of the plaut, it could scarcely havo made ten pounds to tho whole crop, or, indeod a pod ot cotton, sn impor? tant reflection arises here, impressing us with the fact that late crops, though not really pio duciug the worm, yet in reality may nurture hordes of the worms that would have otherwise perished for want cf food. It is true that groat exciting causes might produce and develop them without the coincidence of a succulent crop to nourish them, but, being at first few in numbers, they would come on slowly, and, perchance, with a hot and dry summer thc first brood would not appear in the crops at all, aud even with a wet August it could scarcely appear beftre Octo? ber-too late to do serious injury. Bear itiu mind that these insects are hatched and grown. The batching depends on tho season; tho growing on the crop as well as tho season. If the plant is very mature when tho worms aie first hatched in any appreciable numbers, thc brood of caterpillars fails for want of proper nourishment. It, on the con? trary, tho crop is in a favorable condition to feed the tender young worms in their differ? ent broods, the hatching, whatever it may be, is carried through the worm state Without ap? preciable diminution towards another brood, while under other circumstances there would have been a largo diminution. Such a dimi? nution at the first produces a very appreciable effect when tho producing moths at the most aro few, (but few having escaped tho vicissi? tudes ol tho year.) When they become ex? ceedingly numerous, however, oven though they should lose three-fourths of each brood, euough aie still accumulated to destroy the crops. With the two past years wo have found it im? possible to make our crops crow off. Wo have had no spring, and just such seasons as our past experience would have warranted us iu prounonncins beforehand as best adapfpd to tho production of lite worm. Thc stat .-meut about tho cges being found in tho pith ol thc stalk is ridiculous and impossible, for thy little moth that lays the egg is too focblc, and has nothing wherewith to pierco tho wood of tho stalk. Ou the whole, it seems to mo that, with va? ried seasons, timely planting, penial springs and well prepared fields, wo might reasonably expect a respite from the cotton worm, or, speaking more strictly, have no ground for supposai? otherwise. Major John Jenkins, of Edisto, informs me that his cotton planted on what is known as sall or reclaimed marsh land entirely escaped the ravages of the worm, both in '67 and '68, tho worms proring very destructive on the high lands immediately contiguous. This wonld seem to indicate the free use of salt as a preventative, but whatever good csay be effected by such uso, it should bo remem? bered that we cannot reach by an artificial supply of salt without destroying vegetation, such a saline condition cf the soil as that of the salt mirsh land, and thus, without consid? ering cost of a largo application of salt, wo must couleas our incapacity to approximate to the properties of the aalt marsh without reu? dernig it unfit for all vegetation. I have observed myself tho singular exemp? tion from tho ravages of tho worm experienced in '66, '67 arid '68, in a cotton fl ld disposed tu rust. Thc soil of this field has medium yel? low sandy loam, having nodules oi ferruginous sand scattered over thu surlacc, mixed with the soi1. In 18?G there was no appearance of caterpillar at all in the part of this planted iMd. In 1867 ouo cocoon and ono worm was alone i-ecn. In 1668, the whole field being planted, tho worms u?? some slight damage, scarcely appreciable. This field matures very early, and in ordinary seasons, without manure, would probably rust badly. In ono instanco. then, we have salt marsh lauds exempted from injury for two years, when tho fields around were ravaged by the worm. In another, in lauds having irou largely iucor porated with it. tho same entire exemption is afforded iu two consecutive years, aud very nearly tho same in tho third, whilst the other fields" were eaten up. 1 think, however, I have known "salt land" cotton eaten, and so, also, that grown on land disposed to rust, but never to the same extent as on other lauds. This article is a summary of thc very best in? formation I can give upon this subject. 1 would be happy to answer any inquiry iu connection with this matter, and will thankf ully receive information from any one who will communi? cate with me through THU NEWS office, or oth? erwise. 1 think it impossible to destroy these insects. Theto may bo wholesome results reached by every effort towards promoting tho Fai.'v growth of the plant. Myadvico is not to i*iarj' too soon, bu. simply in time. Cotton W?ii put m, from tho lit to 15th of April, is abundantly in time. 1 have yot to learn auy ad? vantage from earlier planting. JOHN W. B. l'OPE. P.
