With the arrest of Lewis the po? lice now have In custody two of the four alleged assassins, the other being "Dago" Frank, who now Is in the Tomb, and a fellow prisoner of Po? lice Lieut Chas Becker, who ts charg? ed w ith instigating the gunmen to kill Kosenthal. .

Any further in? formation desired will he cheerfully ?applied upon request to the Division of Entomology, Clemaoa College, B. C, It is well to Impress the fact that 1 the Insect about which there is so 1 much excitement is not the same as I the cotton leaf worm or caterpillar WUlCS] was present In the cotton geld* last fall. There are at Present SO far as specino nts sent in and investiga? tions made by this division show, no cotton caterpillars in this State. though they are doing damage In lower Alab ima and Georgia. The cot? ton caterpillar is Injurious only to cotton; the grass worm, does damage more general In character?to grass, corn. peas, cotton, etc. This latter insect is doing considerable damage over almost the entire South; so this State is not alone sustaining the ef? fects of its ravages. The preferred food of the fall army or grass worm Is grass, such as crab grass, bermuda, water grass, etc. The pest is present every year, but un? noticed. The wealth of grass due to lack of proper culture last fall and spring has given it this year unex? celled opportunities for breeding. The almost total absence of Its natural enemies also promotes the marked increase in numbers this season over previous seasons of recent years. They have readied such enormity "f num? bers that there has been a shortage of the preferred food and the pest has been forced to migrate to the ad? joining corn and cotton fields to make Its 1 ving there and to carry ? n its destructive damage in so doing. The worm begins its work in bottom lands, and at first appears in the rrass. Here it can be most easily controlled, by deep turning of the grass and worm, or thorough spraying or dusting of these acres with arse nate of lead according to directions given below. Tim third generation of worms is rew entering the ground to change into moths. These deposit ?gg?. which hatching In a very short time, will produce another' generation of warms it is wall to bear this fact In mind; for the apparent cessation of Injury Is due to this eause. < >n the first appearance of the worm the farmer Should dust the n fanted areas with powdered arsenal. Of lead, undiluted, using three pounds of poison to the acre. It Is best to make the application when the leaves SM moist with dew, Si |l generally the ease early In the morning. Ase nate of lead paste may be used in the form of a spray the strength of two to three pounds of ernennte to fifty gallons of water, with the ad? dition of three pounds of unslaked 11 me, Paris green also will poison tin worms but it is not safe to use since even if extreme care is exercised in the dilution and application of it. .-? rtous damage of foliage from burning ? ?ften results, sometimes nol becoming Apparent until three or four a icka sfterwarda powdered srsenate of read is about ss obeap, sticks to the leal better, and can he used undiluted without burning the foliage. It would be n . mistake, even in the case ol this however, to add a small quantity of uir dryi slaked lime, lo neutralise any free seid presenl In ibe substance, since it is this add that does the burning.

The fmcki to contain the poison should be made of 8-ounce duck or similar material.

Macks should measure iix20 Itfches und should be left open on one of the long sides, The open margins are then tacked on the ends of the pole, forming a hag. which Is to be Rib d with the poaon by means of a fun? nel Inaerted In ihe auger hole. Care should be taken to determine whether the right amount of poison is being applied. This can be easily done by weighing tin pole and sack" before and after ? known nr< a has been treated. ITnless tins i-- done there || likely to be a waste resulting from tin- application of too much poison, or it may l>e found thai the amount that Is being applied is in? sufficient to cover the cotton, The operators should be Instructed to see ithat the poison falls evenly upon the J plants, if too much or t<>o little Is being app?ed the amount can be eaally regulated properly by varying the amount of jarring of the pole. It is important that the sacks do not come Into contact with the c >tton haves. If they do the poison will not pass through readily and it will be found that the amount applied Is too small. Caution, \rsenate of lead and the other ar senlcali to which reference has been made are violent poisons, but there Ii no danger in their use on cotton if a few common-sense precautions are taken, The only ease of poisoning of domestic animals known have been where stock was allowed to break into the cotton Heids soon after pois? oning or where scone of the- poison was carelessly thrown upon the grass. The only precautions that are neces? sary are to keep live stock out of the fields after poisoning and to avoid throwing any of the poison cm vegeta? tion that will be devoured by live tock. it is advisable in some eases to muzzle the mules upon which the riders are mounted when the appli? cation is being made. There Is practically no danger of poisoning live stock after one or two heavy rains subsequent to the appli? cation Of the poison, or In c aae no rain falls, after an interval of about three weeks has einpaed. The araenlcal poisons aggravate wounds or aores on man or domestic animals. Consequently all places wh?-re the skin has been broken Should be covered by some means, or at any rate washed carefully alter the WOrk has been done. In order to avoid the possibility of injury to the mules, it la advisable to throw several buck? et! of water over them after the work is done.
