TO The good work Of caterpillar
poisoning" has commenced in dead
earnest, and the planters, who have
faith, are putting it into execution
with will. So far SO good, and
success walks in the path OF all the
Royal experiments. Over fifty Of
our cotton planters are armed and
supplied viii the stuff, and are ap-
plying it with all hands and the cook.
A few more days will tell the tale,
and if successful, as we really believe
it will be, why then Rapides and the
balance of the cotton world will have
cause to exult and sing praises to
Royals Cotton Worm Destroyer, for
really they will be out of the woods.

But few, very few days, remain
for the decisive caterpillar fight,
