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."

The Woman's Tonic
As a medicine for fe

old established reputation,
that Cardui has.
Fifty (50) years of suc

stood the greatest of all
tests-the test of TIME.
As a tonic for weak wo- E
men, Cardui is the best, be
cause it is a woman's tonic.
Pure, gentle, safe, re
