An old and experienced planter has adj
dressed note to the Texas Ji,naoIecatte
in which he states that the worm
may be effectually kept out of cot
ton by keeping fires burning around
the edge of the fields at hi ght, when
the moth is known to infect the neigh
borhood. He was led to an accidental
observance of this years ago on his own
plantation. A newly cleared field, a.
round which some scattering log-heaps
where burning, was not touched, while
5he fields adjoining were devastated by
he worm. The moth, which deposits
he Larvae, flies only at night, and is
orobably repealed by the smoke, or led
by the glare, like candle moths, to pre-
,ipitate themselves into the flames. He
afterwards frequently tried this method
If combating the insect, and found 1T
llways successful.
If his plan is good one it can GER
ainly very easily and with trifiing ad-
litional expense be carried into effect
m almost any plantation.
