The governor still has a legal adviser in "htfllering distance," as the farmers say, and no serious complications are likely to result from the departure of Mr. Fel- j der to Europe. 4 ! For the Mr. Felder who sailed yes-, terday via th$ North German Lloyd line, although his name is Tom Felder, \ is not Georgia's esteemed attorney i general. Isn't it vexing to have two public men with the same name? The Mr. Tom Felder who sailed is' ' Thomas B. Felder, Atlanta lawyer, and bitter enemy of South Carolina's gov- i ernor, Cole. Blease. The Mr. Felder who supplies legal j advice to the governor of Georgia, and who by the way is a candidate for that job again, is Mr. Thomas S. Felder? and he is still on the job. . Piles! Piles!

A KM Y WORM." j Or "Grass Worm.'*?Its Present Status.?lieiiison Extension Article >'o. 84. The following bulletin attempts to handle only the important points in I connection with the damage of the ; pest, and its control. Any further in- j formation desired will be cheerfully supplied upon request to the division of entomology, Clemson College, S. C. I It is well to impress the fact that! the insect about which there is so j much current excitement is not the same as the cotton leaf worm or caterpillar which was present in the cotton fields last fall. There are at present so far as specimens sent in and in- ! vestigations made by this division show, no cotton caterpillars in this State, though they are doing damage is? Uttot A In Via mo onH fJpnrp'ia Th P Ill 1U ? CI niUUUilia VIVWQ.M. , cotton caterpillar is injurious only to I cotton; the grass worm does damage more general in character?to grass, corn, peas, cotton, etc. This latter 1 insect is doing considerable damage over almost the entire South; so this State is not alone sustaining the effects of its ravages. i The preferred food of the fall army j or grass worm is grass, such as crab i grass, bermuda, water grass, etc. The pest is present every year, but unnoticed. The wealth of grass due to Hack of proper culture last fall and spring has given it this year unexcelled opportunities for breeding. The almost total absence of its natural ene| mies also promotes the marked vincrease in numbers this season over previous seasons of recent years. They have reached such enormity of numbers that there has been a shortage j -of the preferred food and the pest has ! been forced to migrate to the adjoin1 ing corn and cotton fields to make its i living there and to carry on its destructive damage in so doing. The . worm begins its work in bottom landsv ! and at first appears in the grass. Here jit can be most easily controlled, by I deep turning of the grass and worm, or | thorough spraying or dusting of these I acres "with arsenate of lead according j to directions given "below. ! The third generation of worms is - . - - now entering tne ground to cnange into moths. These deposit eggs, which hatching in a very short time, will produce another generation oC.worms. It is T?eH to Tjear this fact in mind; for the apparent cessation of injury is due to this canse. On the first appearance of the worm the farmer should dust the infested areas with powdered ^arsenate of lead, undiluted, using three pounds of poisi on to the acre. It is best to make the application when the leaves are moist I with dew, as is generally the case eai%ilv in the morninsr. Arsenate of lead 1 paste may be used in the form of a 1 spray the strength of two to three ! pounds of arsenate to fifty gallons of I x V ' water, with1* the addition of three ; nounds of unslaked lime. Paris green I also will poison the worms but i^ is | not safe to use since even if extreme | care is exercised in the dilution and j application of it, serious damage of ; foliage from burning often results, i sometimes not becoming apparent unjtfl three or four weeks afterwards. | Powdered arsenate of lead is about as | cheap,, sticks to the leaf betfer, and lean be used vmdiluted without burning ithe foliage. It would be no mistake, i even in the case of this, however, to ! add a small quantity of air dry, slaked j lime, to neutralize any iree acia present in the substance, since it is this acid that does the burning. "Wh^re Poison Can be Secured. The powdered arsenate of lead can be secured from your nearest local druggist. If he does not have It in stock, he can secure it immediately by communicating with his nearest I u-h'nlocolo rlnnrcicf- ciirmlv TirmQP nr I you can get it direct from Jhe same places. It will cost somewhere about j 25 cents a pound, making the cost per j | acre about 75 cents. ' Method of Applying the Poison. The following directions for appli- j I cation are taken from Circular Xo. 153, j bureau of entomology, and explain j clearly and in detail the application of ; the poison, and cautions to be taken: mi. 4-"L. ~ ^ I ne meinuu ui ctyuuuciuuii uy means of sacks applied to a pole carried on horseback through the fields, which came into general use some years ago, will be found to be perfectely satisfactory. By this means a single farm hand can poison two rows at a time and cover about 20 acres during a day. | The apparatus for making the appli- ! cation is simple. A strip of hardwood three inches in width, one inch thick, i t ?... J 1/svi /vAt. +V?or? fi I cillU Ullt? iUUl liiciii iii\/ ujouui^v | between the rows should be selected. Two one-inch holos should be boreci : through the stif-k six inches from ; either end. The sacks to contain the j poison should be made of eight-ounce | rlur-k nr material. Flour sacks i I will answer the purpose,' but when ; powdered arsenate of lead is used two ' l\: ' 1 thicknesses will be required on account of the extreme fineness of the poison. The sacks should measure ?ix by 20 inches and should be left open on one of the long sides. The open margins are then tacked on the ends of the pole, forming a bag, which is to be filled with the poison by means of a funnel inserted in the auger hole. Care should be taken to determine whether the right amount of poison is being applied. This can be easily done by weighing the pole and sacks before ana ctitt?r n iuiuwh aica ucm ed. Unless this is done there is likely to be a waste resulting from the application of too much poison, or it may be found that the amount that is being applied is insufficient to cover the cotton. The operators should be instructed to see that the poison falls evenly upon the plants. If too much or too little is being applied the amount can be easily regulated properly by vary ing the amount of jarring of the pole. It is important that the sacks do not come into contact with the cotton leaves. If they do the poison will not ! pass through readily and it will be | found that the amount applied is too small. i Caution. I* Arsenate of lead and the other ar! ! senicals to which reference has been i ; made are violent poisons, but there is i no danger in their use on cotton if a I few common-sense precautions are taken. The only cases.of poisoning of domestic animals known have been ' a ?*?- _ ?i j x~ i wnere SLOCK was anuwea u> urea*. imu the cotton fields soon after poisoning or where some of the poison was care| lessly thrown upon the grass. The i only precautions that are necessary | are to keep live stock out of the fields ; after poisoning and to avoid throwing any of the poisoil on vegetation that will be devoured by live stock. It is advisable in some cases to muzzle the mules upon which the riders are mounted when the application is being made. ; There is practically no danger of I poisoning live stock after one or two !

The arsenical poisons aggravate | wounds or sores on man or domestic animals. Consequently all places where the skin has been broken should be covered by some means, or j at any rate washed carefully after the work has been done. In order to avoid the possibliity of injury to the mules, it is advisable to throw several buckets | of water over them after the work is | done. ! fiHICHESTERS PILLS 4TC~-V ill K UJAJltM * OliAA U.
