I'm mpOrtant to Cotton Planters
The Cotton Worm.

Il ne COItOn w OrIn.
EDITORS MACON TELEGRAPH:-
| l notice in your daily of the 10Th
of December, an article taken from
the Selma (Ala.) Times and Mes
senger, upon this all important
subject to farmers, and you invite
| discussion upon it.
The writer states that he saw
! the egg and worm Of the cotton
fly found in the cotton stalk, &c.
From the history of insects, l can
find no facts confirming his state
ments, and | dare say the writer
, is totally in error as to their mode
Of propagation.
The fly lays the egg in summer,
on the tender parts Of the cotton
plant, the worm is speedily
hatehed out: growing rapidly and
to forming the cocoon, in which
state the Larvae exist all winter.
1t, however, may 60 through the
process several times during the
summer. In. the spring it cuts
out Of it's seif.made prison, and
goes forth as before. Insects that
deposit their egg in the pith Of
stalks have caudal appendage
with which they pierce the stalk
and lay;their eggs. The various
species of locust, the Hessian fly,
are examples.
The miller that does the mis-
chief in our cotton fields have no
such appendage, nor do they ever
vary in their natural course, we
suppose first, the fly which de-
posits the egg; then the worm
next the cocoon and, lastly, the
fly again. Ifthe writer in ques-
ton only reflects that a cocoon
cannot be contained within the
small compass Of cotton stalk,
he will see the fallacy Of his as
sertions.
There are hundreds of other in
sccts>that prey upon the cotton
plant, some Of which, no doubt,
deposit their eggs in the stalk
and make that their winter quar-
ters. IF the writer will ad-
vocate cleanliness generally on
farm, in my humble judgment,
he will contribute somewh q
to abate the trouble; for in old
fences, hedges, under old logs,
brush piles, are to be found count
less numbers Of. those oblong pods
in question, air-tight, and perfect
ly protected from winter blasts.
Some species Of larv@ are propa.
gated in the soil OF in the roots of
decayed trees-the common sting
worm. for instance-but the cot
ton worm never, save by accident,
l suppose.
l am anxious, Messrs. Editors,
that the worm question shall lie
solved, and hope some close OBJ
server will illuminate the subject
for in finding out the habits and
various changes Of our greatest
pest (always save one-United
States Congress,) we may find a
correct remedy in getting rid OF
them. FARMER.

PARIS, Wednesday, Nov. "a, 1859.
Private advices received here contradict positively
the general impression that Italy favors the eleva

dispatch from Madrid, however states that Gen.
Prim has assured the COrtes that the proposition
meets with the favor of King Victor Emanuel. The
Duke Of Genoa now has 1855 Deputies pledged TO his
support. Within the past three weeks, $4,000 voun-
teers have sailed from Spanish ports for Cuba.
