Aspecial bulletin of the Experiment
Station treats of two insects that are
doing a great deal of mischief in this
State.
The cotton planter in Middle and
West Tennessee has become, unfortu-
nately, too well acquainted with the
cotton leaf worm during the last few
years. The Bulletin discusses two
leading methods Of destroying this
worm, Arsenites, either Paris Green
or London Purple, are the poisons
used, and they may be applied either
dry or wet.
The simplest way of applying them
in the dry state is in bags made of No.
8 osnaburg, Sx10 inches in size, sus.
pended from each end of a pole eight
feet long, The pole is laid across a
mule, whois ridden between the rows
oil cotton, the rider shaking the pole
slightly as he goes. About one pound
OF poison is distributed to the acre, and
it IS said that a man and mule can
treat from. fifteen to twenty acres per
day. Some planters dilute the Paris
Green with flour and use larger
quantity of the mixture. This is not
considered necessary.
For applying it wet, it is mixed in
water, at the rate of one pound to for.
ty gallons of water for each acre of
ground. Various spraying machines
are recommended for. this purpose.
Their names and the addresses Of their
manufacturers are given in the Bul.
letin. The poisoning should be done
as soon as.the first "crop" of worms is
noticed, and second application will
be necessary If there is a hard rain
soon after the first.
The Bulletin gives the results OF an
inquiry into the distribution of the
Hessian Fly in Tennessee. 1t is found
to be destructive throughout the en-
tire State.
1t is found that the adult fles, which
are waiting to deposit their eggs on
the late winter wheat, are mostly de-
stroyed by the first sharp frosts oNau-
tumn. By delaying the planting of
the wheat until it will not have time
to appear above the ground until after
the first frosts, practically complete
immunity from the ravages of the
Hessian Fly may be obtained. If all
the farmers OF district would persist
in late planting for number of years,
the fly might be almost exterminated.
1t is we'll to plant strip along one
side of the field early, SO that it will be
well above ground ten days or two
weeks before the fpal planting. The
flies will deposit their eggs upon this,
and it should then be plowed under
and repanted with The rest OF the
field.
Noneof the other preventive meth
ods seem to be efficient except burn
ing the stubble, This will undoubt.
edly destroy a large number o. the in
sects, but it has the disadvantage OF
destroying also certain parasites which
prey upon the Hessian Fly and assist
in reducing their numbers. The one
remedy that is Of undoubted practica'
use is late planting. The bearded va
rieties Of wheat seem, moreover, to be
less susceptible on the attacks of the
fly, and shOuld accordingly be select
led, ii convenient.

The curious natural breakwater of the
"Chesil Beach" connects Portland, Eng.
land, with the mainland. A puzzle to the
geologist, this wonderful beach is an ex-
ample of the sea producing barrier to its
own progress, the destruction of one part
of the coast becoming the means of pro-
lection to another The heavy waves of
the Atlantic are here barred, and during q
ground swell the ceaseless grinding of the
pebble flints is heard, like the dull roar of
thunder for miles inward. In length
about ten miles, its breadth at low tide is
not above two hundred yards, and at no
place is it raised more than forty-four feet
above high water. The pebbles which
compose the beach increase in size toward
Portland, and diminish to gravel where
they merge into Bridgeport Sands. From
an antiquarian as well as a geological
point of view the Chesil Beach is of the
deepest interest, many curious relics being
constantly thrown up-coins of gold, sill
yer and copper, of medieval or modern
date, though those of the Roman empire
are most common. Sometimes antique
rings are found, seals and gold ingots, with
other spOils of the sea, wrested from the
dead of ancient as well as modern times
by the relentless storms raging in the
dreaded bay.-Cham6ers' Journal.

SUFFERS FORT.
A Citizen Who Doesn't Want to See II
Covered With Glass,


EDs. RECORD UNION. With all due re-
spect for the editorial opinions expressed
in Wednesdays RECORD UNION in relation
to the preservation of Suffers Fort by in
closing it under glass and iron conserva-
tory, please allow me to ask whether such
method would not be Objectionable in
various ways. Is it not certain that SO far
as the decay of the wooden part is con-
cerned, no advantage would be derived
from glass protection, inasmuch as ex-
perience has demonstrated that in onr
climate all ligneous substances attached to
brick or adobe go to ruin under form of
dry rot as quickly when shut in as when
exposed TO full currents of air?
But there Is q stronger argument against
such proposition in the discomfort to
visitors during our long warm season Of
the year. Anyone who has been in glass
conservatory in this vicinity during the
summer months can realize the condition
the air OF the rooms would De in should
such roof encase Suffers Fort As the
larger proportion of foreign visitors would
go there on sunny days, many would no
doubt leave our city after an inspection of
the premises under such conditions with
stronger impressions than ever of the
torrid nature of our climate.
Should the building be soon restored as
nearly as possible to its original condition
and all its walls protected by first-class
cement, such structure, covered by a
handsome tiled roof on the plan of Gov.
ernor Stanford's University at Palo Alto,
would outlast several generations, and if
surrounded by well-kept grounds would
be far more impressive to visitors as typify-
ing by its rude simplicity the Spanish
Californian life, than if covered by any
ornamental structure of glass and iron
