WaekingtoB. MAjr. TS.-^The exteo-
•Ive damage dbne by the ec-ealled
wire-worm in many tobacco eutee
la. beet prevented by crop
an< by doing away with the
which are food for the worm. Clean
cultivation shook! be practiced th«
rammer before tobacco is planted,
thpe making conditions unfavorable
for the egg which hatches the-worm.
This is the advice of the United
States Department of Agriculture’*
investigators who estimate that tho
damage done by the worm amounts
to IS00.00P annually In Virginia
alone, and Is also great In other east
ern states raising tobacco. ' The de
partment has just issued a bulletin
fKo. 711 on the subject, entitled
“The So-Called .Tobacco Wire Worm
!n Virginia.” v ‘
The growing of crops of cowpras
or crimson clover (preferably the
former) the year before crops sub
ject to injury are planted. Is one of
the most satisfactory and practical
mean* for controlling the pe*t. ^un-
Tiier plowing and thorough prepara
tion of weedy land are other mean*
advised.. The egg* oT the pest are
deposited- by moths in weedy Held*
during July and August. They batch
in a few days, remain over winter in
the soil, and llnish<their growth dur

feeding stage when tobacco is plant
ed.
Injury to tobacco occurs when
this crop is planted on land that was
weedy during the previous year.
Props planted on Jaud^ which ha*
been undor clean cultivation are im
mune. The weeds which have been
found to Ih* (he more common natur
al food plant* of the worm are the
bur.nocn plantain, oxeye daisy,
stick weed and whitetop. The pres
ence of these weed* in meadows ac
count* for Injury to tobacco when
panted on sod.
The worms when once established
in land wrhere theif* natural food
food plants are abundant have been
found difficult to control \>rlour
insecticides and repellant* have been
tested, but without satisfactory re
sults. 1-
Fall or winler plowing has been
found to reduce injury, but Is only
partially effective, as some of the
weeds uremsln alive and furnish food
for the larvae until the tobacco or
corn is planted. >
The moth from wnich the wlre-
Worm is evolved is medium or rath
er small in sise and colored brown,
yellow and white. Borne have metal
lic marks on the fore wings which
are comparatively long and usually
narrow. * When raised the fore wings
are rolled around the body and con
ceal the hind wings, whicti aie folu-
This gives the body the
appearance of a tiny cylinder, and
accounts for the term that Is applied
to it of ••cloee-wings.” These moths
fly mostly on dark afternoons or dur*
iag the early part of the night. They
are more common in open fields.
When disturbed they-make short
flights; rarely flying more than a few
rods at a time. They usuailly alight
head downward on the stems of
plants, and their color often harmon
lies so perfectly with their surround
ings that they can scarcely be seen.
They, therefore, seldom attract, at
tention unless some important crop
is attacked.

The tobacco "wireworm” doe* not
confihe its attack* to tobacco onlv.
but is likewise a serious'pest to the
i-orn ci;op. Injury ha* be--u noted
in many localities where little tobac
co la grown and it ia probable that
damage to corn amounts to more
than that. t<» tobacco. A* with tobac
co. injury, is mosjt severe* when corn
is planted on land which ha* been

! The larvae attack the young corn
near the *urfac-e of the ground Jfnd
burrow into the base of the stalk*,
the outer portion of the »talk being
frequently girdled. If the stalks are
small when attaked they Sire either
killed or so stunted or dwarfed that
thev ewyer fully outgrow the injury,
and produce little or no grain. Muc h
of the corn is-attacked just after the
seed has* sprouted. The larvae' fre
quently burrow into Hie folded leav
es a* the corn is coming through the*
ground. As the {eave* unfold they
show transverse row£ of hole*. When
the stalks reach a height of a foot or
more comparatively little damage i*
done.' Several larvae are frequently

In wet weather Injury is not apt to
be so severe*, as the plant* are then
more vlgorou8...and the weed*, which
furnish suitable food for the worm*
are more plentiful. As with tobaccn,
corn ia attacked when the natural
food supply of the worms b'seut off.
The same methods 'of crop rota
tion and clean cultivation are rec
ommended for corn a* for tobacco.

The many testimonial let tors tkat we are continually pub

cpressions of heartfelt gratitude
for the freedom froni^frepng that ha# come to these
women solely through the r use of Lydia E^. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound.
Kven during the Republican party
hajority he served on important
onir^ittee* and when the Senate be
came Democratic, two years ago. no
Jndiviilual Senator was given posi-
‘ion on more important committee*
.hnn Senator Smith.
Being recognized na an active and
'iard working member of the Senate,
to has been even more conscientious
n the performance of his committee
d title*.
A* the rknkfng member of the
committee on post office* and post
road*. Senator Smith has been art
important factor in the nhaping of
legislation affecting the postal ser
vice In-the country.
By virtue of hi* hleli rank on the
Committee of Agriculture and Fores
try of the Senate, and because he i*
recognized as being one of the best
posted members of the,Senate on'ag
riculture and agrlrultuiai question*
Senator Smith thuft ha* been enabled
to be of incalculable service to tho
farmer* of hi* state and the South.
He is a member of the ttub-roni-
mittee whicli handle* the bill makin
appropriations for the Department of
Agriculture and it is an unquestion-
tble fact that he has hever lost hn
opportunity” io take care of the in
terest* of tho farnierr.
He is he ranking member of tl;e
nnimittee on conservation of nation
al resource*.
He is the ranking member of the
■out mil tee on interstate commerce.
This is a very important assignment
*nd during the present session much
'ogisk.tion of vital importance to the
v!t«4e country has be«n considered
by Hie committee. x _
He is the first man on -tho com
mittee on manufacture* and is also
;> member of the committee on pnt-
< nta.
As chairman of the committee on
immigration, during the present t’on-
gress he has beqp in charge of some
important legislation, -a* it affected
directly both the American ‘farmer
•ind the laboring man and the rela
tion.-hip of tlje United States with
the foreign nation* of the world.
Th» farsighted manner in which
Senator Smith . ha* handled thlT
question ha* been the subject of
much favorable comment and he i*
deserving of the far-reaching praise
which ha* been aceorned him for the
effective manner in which he has di
rected to successful report the Immi
gration bill from hi* tommittee.
It in conceded by his colleagues li
the Senate that Senator Smith know*
more about cotton Out* any other
man in Congress; in fact he i* one
