We had pleasant call on yesterday from
Mr.. s. N. Camp. of Ward 6. From him we
learn that the cotton crop, apart from the
ravages, present and prospective, of the
worms, is exceptionally fine. Only the
first crop of the caterpillar has appeared,
and they have, as yet, done no appreciate
damage. Paris green is being applied more
generally than heretofore, and with uni
form success, so far as used.
Mr.. Camp states that the boil worm has
appeared in greater numbers than the army
worm, and has already done considerable
injury.
Tho second crop of the caterpillar is ex-
pected in about ten days, and unless poison
is applied freely aud effectively, the dam
age will DO very great. We were pleased
to have the assurance from Mr.. Camp that
the farmers Of his section, almost to u man,
will use the cotton covering for their crops.
RIston Caligraph: MIR. G. M. Goodwin
of Island DeSiard, Ouachita parish, is
spending few days out in the hills of
Lincoln visiting his old friends and rela-
tives. He brings good news concerning
crops in his section of country. which he
says are the best that have been raised in
years. A few caterpillars and boil worms
made their appearance i'll the cotton some
time ago, but Ito former have been entirely
killed out by the use of Paris green, and
tho boil worms are but few i'll number ard
are doing but little damage. Mr.. Goodwin
says that with a prospect now of IT'S bales
ofcotton on his plantation he is satisfied he
will not sustain tho loss of one bale Of cot
ton by worms. The fact is those river
farmers have been fighting cotton worms
so long that they have got it down to a
science, and have no more fears OF cotton
worms than they have of grass. They
know that Paris green judiciously applied
is sure shot, and they lay in their supply
zach spring as regularly as they buy bacon
aud meal.
