There Is In thin state and several other southern states, an Invasion of the. fall Army Worm on corn, grass and cotton. This caterpillar Is about 1 to 1 1-2 Inches long when grown. It is quite different from the cotton caterpillar although many farmers mistake one for the other. This ln-> sect which Is now In this state Is not the cotton caler piller which did so much In jury to cotton last summer, but Is the fall Army Worm which is some ' times called the Orass Worm. The Fall Army Worm Is usually present but In such small numbers that they do no harm to the crops < but on the other hand eat the grass in the fields. It Is only when this . insect gets abundant that it does harm by eating grass, corn, peas, and coUon. The wqpther conditions this season have been unusually fa vorable for its develdpment. ? Most farmers who hare* seen the work of this insect realize that Immediate action is necessary for the control of this pent. Control Measures ? The two pois ons that have given the bestsatls faction so far are powdered arsen ate of lead and Paris green. Paris green can usually be bought at a ( local drug store, while as a rule, arsenate of lead is not handled by such dealers. The arsenate of lead can be secured from wholesale deal ers .and most . all seed houses. A few such firms are Umar Rankin, of Atlanta, Oa. ; The Willett 8eed Co., of Augusta, Ga.; W. M. Bird A Co., of Charleston, 8. C.; "The Murray Drug Co., of Columbia, S. C.; P. J. Ourkinans, Augusta, Oa.; Sherwin-Williams Co., Savannah, <Ja* ' How to Distribute the Poison. About six Inches from each end of a board one inch thick and four inches wide, and twelve inches long er than the width of the rows, bore a hole one Inch or more In diameter. Cut two pieces of cloth, 20x14 inches, the cloth being about the weight of 8 oz. duck. ? Make two bags of these pieces of clO;th and tack one on each end, secure ly under the hole in the board. The holes in the boards may bej closed with wooden stoppers made] for that purpose. The bags are] about 6 IncheB deep and 15 inches long. This arrangement can be car ried on foot or on a mule and two rows treated at the same time. f Apply in the morning while the dew is on the plants but do not get the bags wet. If Paris green is used repeat If rain washes tt off. ' - Amount of Poison to Use. Ifor cotton three feet high UBe the fol lowing amounts of which ever pois on Is used. The amount varies according to whether the cotton Is smaller or larger than three feet high. And In the case of corn and . other plants vary accordingly. Arsenate of Lead. 4 to 5 lbs. per acre. No danger of burning. Paris Green. 2 to 2 1-2 pounds per acre. On large plantations where quick #ork Is imperative, the Paris green should not be used ? in quantities materially exceeding the dose given above as there is danger of seriously burning the foliage. The second generation will like ly appear In about three or four weeks after the present generation disappears and will possibly be more numerous; it will be well to keep on tl? lookout for tke M??9Pd out break. ' luntiuUtcHt. ? The average country merchant thinks It right and proper for the editor of tne local paper to con tinually boost local enterprises, but almost every town bas a few busi ness men wbo hold up tbeir bands in horror when the suggestion is made that they do llkewlae by tusk ing their purchases st home. The government today Is comnet; ing with every printer and publish er in the matter of prlntiug stamp eft envelopes. No. not competing, for no printer can make a price that could hope to secure such bus iness from the man who Is seek ing the lowest market. An editorial on this subject from a recent issue of the White City, (Kan.) Register, published" by J. W. Watkintt, echoes the sentiment of many other publishers. Mr. Wat kin* nays: "Merchants oppose, the mail or der business, which is natural apd right. The mall order principle is all wrong. If the principle was carried out fully there would not be a merchant in White City, conse quently no Whltfe City ? *no place to sell butter and eggs and all man ner of produce. If a panic or hard times should come there would be no place where one could go to get goods on time. "Merchants, many of them, are consistent and honest in this con nection, but there are some right here in White City who are flagrant ly lnconslsttent. For instance, there are some who buy their envelopes with their business printed on them, of the government ? because, they say, they can get them cheaper. Now, that is precisely the same ar gument every mall order patron put up. We are not contending he can not get some things cheaper. Me can get envelopes cheaper than the local print shop can put them out for. We cannot compete with Un cle Sam. But the principle of dis loyalty ty home enterprises Is there just the same. The envelope ques tion is not the only inconsistency practiced by some business men who are the loudest to decry the ma}l older business. They give their or der for other printed matter to out side concerns Instead of patronizing their .home printery. "But how strange It is for such men to plead witlr and command the local paper to hop on to the people for not patronizing them when they themselves are violating every letter of the principle involv ed."
