(G bags) of Early Huff Cow peas
have been .shipped to you this morning,

UUfcES FOR DISTRIBU TION OF
SJbJED TO FLOOD .SUFFERERS
Seed should not be distributed to
.any pqi^ons except those whe have
practically no money or ci^edit with
which to purchase seed of any kind.
The person to whom the seed is
actually distributed must be a person
who either owns or has rented land
on which the .seed can be planted.
They must alao have either the personal
labor, tools, teams, and implements
necessary to prepare the land
and put the seed foi, or be able to get
them. In other words, it must be
apparently to you in making the distribution,
that the person who is to
receive the seed can not obtain seed
otherwise; that they desire to get the
seed for actual planting', that they
have the land on which to plant the
seed, and that they will plant and use
it in the support of ttienwJv<e? and

ou should realize and impress uponj,

that you and the local people will use 1
your best endeavor to see that such

ginned Indian cotton, the Egyptian j
Government now prohibits without
exception the importation into that
country of cotton plants, cotton lint, i
cotton seed, seed cotton, and cotton
stalks. The Egyptian law is therefore
much more drastic than the
regulations which the United States j'
Department of Agriculture has cs- i
tablished for the fumigation of all!
foreign cotton coming into the United
States. The American plan, how- ,
ever, it is believed, provides ade- ,
quate protection for the cotton-grow
ing interests of the country and at j
the same time imposes no more restrictions
upon the industrial use of ,
foreign cotton than arc essential. j
It is interesting to note that in \
1904 Egypt prohibited the importation
of American cotton seed on account
of danger of introducing the ,
boll weevil into that country. In i
1909 this law was extended to include
the introduction of cottnn from oil
countries. In 1913 all forms of cotton
except the ginned fiber were J
iarred. Shortly after this it was ^
liscovered that bales of lint imported ]
Trom Indida contained considerable <
quantities of seed and that living J
oink boll worms were contained in j J
lonsiderable numbers in this seed. It
seems quite certain now that the pink
ioll worms was introduced into \
Egypt in badly ginned Indian cotton (

mm to watch i
for ARMY worms
Wreck of True Army Worm C
Possible in the Atlantic
States.
An unusual abundance of the moth [
f the true army worm in Maryland,
Tiiivina, and the District of Columbia
rylicates the possibility of an i)n ending
outbreak of this destructive
12s? in the Atlantic States. The ?j
no.hs, the entomologists of the de
uiitinent report, were laying then
ygs during the first week of July,
md as it takes from three to four
vecks for the caterpillars to mature
heir presence should begin to b
;.r.i'e apparent about the last weak i'>
I'uly to the first week in August. j
Farmers should be on the alert tc ^
hoover this nest in its young stage
( lore it has reached a laige size
;nd has committed irreparable dam\ge
to growing crops, especially .
?rasses and grains. N
When the army worm is discovered
it work the infested spots should b
?piayed immediately with a solution ;
:>f powdered arsenate 01 lead, 2 lb.lo
50 gallons of water. If Paris ]
green be used the spray should u l
omposed as follows: Paris green, l '
[jt'iind; freshly slaked lime, 2 pounds:
water, 50 gallons. The lime is nec?s-arv
as :t nrevenlnt ive of luir:'i. 1
by caustic when used on lender
plants such as torn.
When spraying is impradiiahh
iiv- poisoned bran bait is recommenced.
It is ma I as follows: Whoa; i
bran, 50 pounds; Paris green, 1 lb.;!
i-r v\ m e arsenate of powdered arsenate
of lead, 2 pounds; low grab
aclases, ' to -1 quarts.
The br m and poison should b
thoroughly nuxod while dry and tin
nelassos auwwards added, kneading
in:! stirring the mass until it is easily
broken into small biis. The addi
ion of six tinei,\ chopped lemons has
been found to add value to the bait
in some cases. The poisoned bail
hould be scattered broadcast where
ho worms are at work or in thoil
oath or among them while they are
on the march.
When the army worms arc moving
logcihcr in a mass they may he halt d
and destroyed by plowing out or
digging a narrow ditch with steep
sides direetiy across their path. The
worms fall into this ditch in largenumbers
and may then be crushed
readily by dragging a log or chunck
of wood back and forth through the
ditch. c
Ail farmers should keep on hand r.
few pounds of one of the standard insecticide.4;,
such as arsenate of lead
or Paris green. The insecticides
mentioned will not spoil if kept in a
dry condition in covered containers.
Farmers' Bulletin No. 7'M contains ai
full account of the army worm and
may bo secured free of charge upon
application to the Secretary of Agriculture.
o
JOHNSON GRASS AN OPEN
ENEMY.
While you wait Johnson grass gets '
a hold. It sends its roots deeper and j
furth, preparing against attack. ^
The roots become matted under the
surface of the soil. Plowing, in most j
asse, simply tend to spread and en ourage
the growth, rather than kill j
he enemy. Pasturing, unless long
ontinued, will not kill it. The rooi
stocks will remain alive, sending up
shoots after a field has been pastured
for a number of years and the
rass has apparently disappeared. In |
act, the grass is so hard to get ric [
>f that in our climate it is our bes
t
mown farm nuisance.
The principle upon which the geting
rid of Johnson Grass depends b
he utter destruction of the root i
tocks. Two methods are practicec
owarcis this end. First during July
nd August the roots are turned u\ (
o the hot sun by plowing the fiel<
'he first plowing should be about '.
iches deep. The second plowing b
bout 4 inches deep and crosswise o
he first plowing. The chief objec ,
ion to this is that a man looses th'
se of his land for at least tw?
months. This can be partly over
ame, however, by grazing hogs o
he freshly upturned roots, which ar ,
ansidered about the equal of arti
liokes for hog feeding. Second, ;
ay crop, such as alfalfa or Suda'
Irass is kept planted on the infeste*
lold. The frequent mowings o
lese crops, and the Johnson Grasith
them, starve the roots of th ^
rass and eventually kills it out. l

Disinfection with carbon bisulphid
is accomplished by allowing it to
evaporate from l'iat vessels which
sl.ouid hohi one-half pint or more
each. Tins. evaporators are placed
the 1 igia r parts of the bin or room
. o be fumigated. The gas settles
tow nward and suffocates the insects
it encounters. Kroni 11 to 3 pounds of
carbon bisulphid are usually sufficient
for 1,000 cubic feet of air
space. In practice this is equivalent
to 1 pou mi to ilK) bushels. After
fumigation the bin should be kept as
tightly closed as possible for about
hours. This can be done without
destroying the gerinitiating power of
the seed. In open cribs, of course,
this method of fumigation is not sue
cesst'ul, and the corn must be covered
with heavy tarpaulin or canvass.
The pink corn-worm does not confine
itself to the kernels, but attacks
the husks and cobs of corn as well.
The eggs are deposited in ears, the
tips of which are more or less open
as the result of the work of the corn
earworm. When hatched the young
insects penetrate the kernel, destroy
the embryo or germ, and work outward
bo the crown. The layers of
"tusk just under the outer sheath are
tlso badly eaten in many cases. Alhough
it has been known for many
ears, tins insect was not recognized
is it serious pest in corncribs until
014. In that year many complaints
ere received by the department,
larticularly from Mississippi. The
test is also found along all of the
states bordering on the Gulf, and in
Arkansas, Tennessee, South Carolina
