Tomatoes, cabbages, sweet potatoes, and other vegetables and garden plants, and especially those which are started under glass and transplanted, ] are subject to serious injury by cut worms. By the timely application of remedies, however, as Jias been demonstrated . t i * ? ' uuuugn neici agents and other entomologists of the department of agriculture, they readily can be controlled, and large areas have been successfully treated. Take a bushel of dry bran, add 1 pound of white arsenic or Paris green, and mix it thoroughly in10 a mash with 8 gallons of water in which has been stirred half a gallon of sorghum or other cheap molasses. This amount will be sutticient for the treatment of 4 or 5 acres of cultivated crops. After the mash has stood for several hours, scatter it, in lumps about the size of a marble, over the fields where the injury is beginning to appear and about the bases of the plants set out. Apply late in the day, so as to place the poison about the plants before night, which is the time when the cut worms are active. Apply a second time if necessary. * Drunken Negro Kills Son.

Shortly after his arrival, and without any provocation, seized his shot gun and after discharging both barrels in the room at random, drew his revolver and began to shoot promiscuously. He fired six shots, the last bullet striking iiis son in the forehead, penetrating the brain and causing instant death.

We do not advise the farmers to store their cotton this year nor do we advise them to sell at the present prices. This is a matter which should be decided bv each individual farmer according to his needs and circumstances.
