him in saving his future crops.
The points to be considered, and
those to which l wish to call the
attention of the scientist and plan
ter, are as follows:
LIST. That the cotton worm and
moth are peculiar to the cotton
plant, as. much SO as the weavel is
to corn or other cereals. Such
being the case, l contend, and not
from idle theory, but from practi-
cal Obsei walton, that the original
germ from which the grub is form
ed or originates, is contained in
the seed of cotton and is sowed
with the seed when they are put on
the land either as manure or in
planting. They are Matched, or in
other words the grub is formed or
generated in or during the process
of decay of the seed, from which
the original cotton Ey or moth Of
q dull color is Matched in the
ground. 1t then cuts its way out
and deposits its eggs on the under
side Of the leaf OF the plant, from
which the caterpillar is Matched.
A metamorphosis then takes place
and the Ay rs reproduced. and in
this way they are incre .sed to a
sufficient number to destroy the
plant, A combination of circum-
stances is necessary during the
stage of incubation or Matching
period, such as temperature, mois-
ture, etc, to insure a favorable is
sue in the formation or Matching
OF these begots anamalcules, for it
is a fact in scientific or natural
history that u certain temperature
for certain length Of tire, is nee
essary in order that the formative
stage or Matching period Of these
little begots anamalcules may not
be interrupted.
Should such conditions favora-
bic to their condition fail, all
things being equal, they fail as a
matter of course, We have abund-
ant proof the present year. where
large quantities of seed have been
used as manure or in planting, the
crop. the caterpillar has made its
appearance on such plantations and
destroyed the crops month before
other crops in, the same neighbour
hood or adjoining fields, were
touched by them. 1t is q well
known fact that since the war q |
,hange in labor has caused the
planter to use cotton seed as a fer |
ilizer on his old lands in the place |
'f-clearing mp fresh fields, it is, also |
lsed more as manure on corn, in |
act the increase of the caterpillar !
las beed caused from the use Of |
he cotton seed on the lands az .
ertilizer, and, where superabund-
'nce has been used in planting, I
hus increasing the original grub
which produces the fly. lam in
lined to believe that the fly that
avs the egg on the leaf is Matched
he same year. OF this | am not
positive, as many assert that they
AVE ploughed them up out of the
round while preparing the lands
o plant in the spring; if SO, they
nay be hatched the previous year
nd live in the ground during the
winter season. ! am not prepared
o say how long they do or may
i've. This as Well as other matters
elative to their habits must be
eft to some future Investigation of
he subject My intention and mo-
i've in writing this is to direct and
all the attention of the planter to
that / am satisfied will prove by
more thorough investigation, the
)rigin of the Cotton Fly which
reduces the caterpillar.
