TRAPPING Cur WORMS IN GARDENS

TRAPPING Cur WORMS IN GARDENS
1t is very annoying, after having set out a
nice lot of sweet potatoes or cabbago plants,
to sec them cut down, one by one, by cut
worms. We have tried ashes, lime, SCOT,
and, in fact, everything We have ever heard
of, but never found anything effectua until,
by accidchf We found three or four Of the
wasps, one morning, gathered under small
board, which had been left by some children
enaswect potato hill Acting upon this hint,
';we placed snail pieces of board, large chips,
etc, all through the patch, and we trapped
shcm by hundreds The boards must be
lifted early in the morning, and, on very
warm days, again about noon.

will be reached much earlier than was expected.

no proposals whatever which dc not proceed up

point aHaw in his title. he is willing to have the
Legislature reoonvened in order 70 rccanvass the
vote, but net otherwise. If the United States
troops ore removed, Packard promises to test
his ability to keep his place by force Of arms,
and he happens to be man who in a matter of
this kind can be trusted to keep his word As
it is equally certain that the President will leave
the contestants to themselves as soon as all pos
sible means of bringing about settlement have

FrnrlLlzERs.- trains Of wagons, avera-
ging not less than ten, have been passing
through our streets every day for the past two
weeks, on their way to Clinton. They return
laden, chiefly with fertilizers. We regard it
quite problematical whether these large ship
ments Of fertilizers are beneficial to the farming
Interests Of the county, or sotherwise,, We
have observed one fact in regard to this fertili-
ger business, viz: The farmers who buy tho
most guano, raise little or no grain, but make
big crops Of cotton, are generally the hardest up
of any other class. Such men generally buy oil
their supplies on credit, during the summer, at
ruinous prices, are compelled to sell their cstton
early in the fall for whatever they can get, and
when they settle with their employees, and pay
some other debts, (for they rarely pay ally they
have no money left. Hence, they must ask for
credit. 1t is this class of men who fail to pay
their little debts-such as the printers dues, for
instance.
We are not. by any means, opposed to the use
Of fertilizers. We know they are indispensable
to much of the land of this County, but we
would suggest the propriety Of buying less of
the commercial fertilizers and the farmer making
more in his own barn yard or elsewhere.
