The insect is easily recognized by its position on the plant and by being of a bluish color, less than 1-32 of an inch in length. It is somewhat similar to the ordinary cotton leaf louse, which causes the cotton leaves to curl up during cool, moist weather. The injury is occasioned by the small insects sucking the juice from the young tap roots ot the cotton, causing them to die. An infested plant is easily recognized by the stunted and wilted appearance of the foliage. In their activity, the root lice are dependent upon the ants as a means of traveling Brot h anniversary as a Great Tc event with her by putting ( HISTORY OF KIINUS I Ktl all, it will mean a SALE OF ALL I this occasion.

By far the most satisfactory means of controlling the cotton root louse yet found is by following a carefully planned system of rotation of at least three years duration. This system chmilH hp nlnnned in such a wav as to prevent cotton from following either cotton or corn, but a crop of small grain and cowpea hay should precede a crop of cotton on badly infested lands. The follow ing three year rotation system has been used with marked success on the farm of Judge C A Woods at Marion: Corn Com i has become one of the Gre; Hi Sill)!, la attire in keeping with t iUMMER GOO ETTER DAY IN THE CO/1 rcial importance of Kingsti ins we will offer during oui iven greater.

This system has been followed on an originally badly infested field for the past five years and as a result the root louse injury has been reduced to practically nothing. It is of immense value to have a winter cover crop upon the infested land at all times as it prevents the winter food plants of the cotton root louse from growing upon the land. This naturally reduces the infestation for the following spring. So far, repellents against this in- j sect have been of little value as remedial measures.
