The Cabbage Worm-Mr f. d. Hewitt, of East Ran
dolph, Columbia county, Wisconsin, in letter TO the
Commissioner of Patents, remarks that he observed in
the Patent Office Report for 1855 that the cabbage worm
eat the cotton plant when small The way in which he
treated his cabbage to in the spring two and
half bushels Of salt to the acre before planting it. In oil
instances, after such treatment the worm disappeared
In his opinion salt would not kill cabbage and if one
teaspoonul Of salt put into the cabbage before it
matured il would head much better and would not be
affected by the bugs Hoe In conclusion, he hoped
that some Of the cotton planters would try similar ex-
pertinent.
