THK FA 1,1/ ARMY WORM.
? Timely Article From < 'Irntttou IrtvU
(<m of KkUnuoIokx.
Cteoiion College, S. C., July 26. ?
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."
Itelieve in Your Town.
Wilmington Star.
What is your town good for? Why
is U good for what you think It
1b? Write it down in black and
white. What you write will con
stitute one or more of the advan
tages of your town. If you do not,
you cannot speak or write about
Its advantages, or possibilities.
The only way to know your town
is to study up on it. If you do not
know the resources upon which your,
town can draw for its thrift and j
future development and close study t
might make you believe in your
town.* You can and should know
your town and when you know It,
you will believe in it.
No man is worth mu6h to a'
town unless he believes In it. If!
he lives In it and does not know j
his town, it is fyis next move. It j
might pay his town for him to
move out and give his place to ? a {
true believer. I^earn to believe In
your town. ? i
