from the varying accounts received by me,
estimate with accuracy the actual scarcity
Of plants in my own neighborhood, have
every reason TO believe that it is unusual
and excessive. However, there was in
April general resolving OF plsnt-beds /;
and il the flg should disappear, OF which
there Is OF course no assurance, and the sea-
sons prove to be favorable for planting in
June, there may yet be an average crop OF
tobacco planted. In other words, the pros.
pect here for planting full crop Is now
professionally bad, but may change alto
gether with the occurrence OF the favorable
contingencies mentioned.

LIBERTY, April 30.-The fly has played
destruction with tobacco plants, and the
general impression is il the weather con-

Tobacco has advanced in this market on the

The Destruction of Crops by the
Caferplllar-A State Entomologist
Needed

We printed in our daily to-day the text
of bill which has been introduced in
the Senate bv Hon. Moses Jackson, for
creating the Office Of State Entomolo-
gist in connection with the Agricultural
and Mechanical College. with which its
functions are properly associated. The
objects of the bill IS to provide means
for destroying the insects, and especially
the eaterpillars, that have proved so
fearfully for years past on the crops Of
the State, and particularly the cotton
crop. If any one will take the trouble
to read the able report Of Prof Riley.
Chief OF the chronological Commis-
sioner of the United States, he will be
convinced Of the utility of the measure.
That measures should be taken to pre-
vent the ravages Of insects, it is only
necessary to see the extent Of their der
relations. At its last meeting the Ma
tional Cotton Exchange appointed
committee to memorialize Congress to
raise a Committee to devise a means
Of destroying them, and by their OBJ
seryatlons of causes affecting the growth
and maturity Of the plant, to offer sug-
gestions conducting to better cultivation
and greater profits The losses in bales
and dollars for each State in year of
severe visitation are as follows:
