COTTON FIELDS ARE ATTACKE RED SPIDER PEST MAKES Al PEARANCE IN LEXINGTON. Agent of Agricultural Departmel Tells Best Way of Combating the Small Bugs. The State. Lexington, July 14.-The red spi er has broken out on the farm of R. I Caughman, near Lexington, an threatens to be very destructive to tl cotton crop should the present wi season be followed by a continued h< and dry spell. It appears from tt statement of those interested in th cotton pest that a great many sectior of the State are infested and it is bi lieved that unless its spread is checl ed. it will become shortly as destru< tive as the boll weevil. The cottc affected wilts as if it were scalded an finally dies. No practical remedy he as yet been found, though there ai preventive remedies which appet successful. The department of agriculture hE established a laboratory at Batesbur for a thorough study of the red spide and H. F. Wilson in charge of t work visited Lexington and made a examination of the Caughman fieli He is positive, in his opinion, that tL trouble is the red spider and, < course, he realizes the danger of ii further spread. In speaking about this matter, M Wilson makes these interesting obsei vations; and desires that they sha receive the attention of farmei throughout the State: Live on Violets. Violets and poke weeds appear t be the plants from which the spidei spread to the cotton. I have observe a number of fields where violets i yards were badly infested with tb spider before it passed to the cottoi The original infection began close t the violets and spread out first in fan shaped form and then graduall the whole field became infested. Tb same thing is observed in connectio with poke weeds. Jerusalem oal burdock, morning glories and garde 'beans are food plants for the spide and should be kept away from cotto fields. The spider seems to be prett well scattered about the State and doing considerable damage, an threatens to do a great deal more ur Sless some means can be found fc checking it. "I have hardly gone far enough wit the work to be able to suggest a de sirable remedy. However, poke weed and violets near cotton fields shoul all be destroyed, and if the spider only found on a few plants, thee should be pulled and burned. Tb spider seems to be able to winter i violets and the danger lies in infests tion from these sources. Eilling Mixture. "Where the infestation is bad have found the following mixture t be effective in killing the most C them: One pound of sulphur to tire gallons of water. The sulphur to b placed in a bucket or pan and enoug water added to form a paste with tb sulphur, then the remainder of th water can be added. This mixture ca be applied with a spray pump or wit an ordinary sprinkler. Care shoul be taken that the mixture is gotten or to the under side of the leaf. The spic er propagates itself very rapidly an the failure to make a thorough spra leaves room for danger in the futur< "The most practical method in th way of prevention seems to be the of crop rotation and I hope that h the end of the season a satisfactor system of rotation may be worked ou The farmers themselves can do great deal towards preventing th spread of this pest .if they will b careful about plowing around infesi ed stalks. The spider catches on th harness and may be carried a lon ways into the field and a new colon planted. This is a very serious prol lem and to some extent a. new on< The department is doing the best can and is greatly interested in th work." INJUNCTIONS ISSUED.
