prospects for n large cotton crop ami

some of our enterprising men take hold
of the matter ami inaugurate thc m ll ll ll
filet ur I ng boom in our town. There ls
mt risk in such an enterprise. It has
always paid a handsome dividend in
(.reenvido and other places, ami lhere Is
no reason in thc world why lt would
Hot do equally ns well here, lt would
he an ad vantage.to thc town mid County
and could be operated at a small cost.
The only thing thal can materially bene
fit our country is to turn all surplus
molloy into factories.

Th? Cotton Wi rm.
The tte ff tutet' says the cotton
worm is largely distributed in this
State ?ind its presence is more
general nilli nt un earlier date than
it eau recall. The planter need
not delude himself with a trilling
loss from its ravages. Tho Hey Inter
estimates tile cotton ero]? for seven
years of ino pound bales at num
bers varying from 0,11:18,000 to 8,8?MV,
000 luttes, the lattin" being the es
timated number for this your. The
loss from the worm is placed at ?
y.or cent., the lowest, to 20 percent.,
the hignes'i. . Y. the worms aro_
poisoned the loss will lie reiTuceil,
ami the cost of poisoning them is
estimated at Sj:10,000,000. This
would he a loss of 120,0110 bales, at
?fin?bale, even if only *?,nnu,nnn
he expended in poisoning them.
We are virtually exempt from the
ravages of the cotton worm, as we
