The agent in his report says:
On May 81 / was informed that the
worms had made their appearance in con-
siderable numbers at Crystal Springs,
Miss, and | at once proceeded to that
point to commence operations in testing
the efficiency of different insecticides. Mr..
N. L. Fulgham placed at my disposal a
large field of plants on which the worms
were abundant
Tests were made with Paris green, Lon
don purple, peroxide of silicates, pyre-
thrum and kerosene.
All excepting the Kerosene were busted
over the plants at the rate OF one pound
per acre, using Woodason bellows, so
that the powder could be made to reach
the under side of the leaves, and special
care was taken that the unripe fruit
should receive fair share of the applica-
ton. Paris green and London purple
were also applied suspended in water, at
the rates offorty, fifty and sixty gallons of
water to one pound of the poison, No.

force pump used for their distribution.
Two forms of kerosene emulsion were
used, one being the ordinary form made
by churning together four pounds OfsOap.
one gallon of water and two gallons OF
kerosene; the other was made in the same
manner excepting that one-half pint OF
spirits of turpentine was added to the
mixture before churning. The latter mix
ture gave an emulsion with much less
labor, and one which was entirely stable.
These emissions were each diluted with
twenty live, forty, fifty and sixty parts Of
water to one of the emulsion, The emul-
sions were all applied with force pump
having a No. Nixon nozzle. A sufficient
amount of the emulsion was applied to
thoroughly moisten the leaves. Applica-
tiOns of all the preparations were made
upon two blocks, in one of which the fruit
was just beginning to ripen, while on the
other a few of the fruits were nearly full
grown, but the maj GRITTY were small. In
all cases block of untreated plants was
left on each side of the treated blocks, so
that the effects OF the treatment might be
more readily observed. Each block con-
tanned about one hundred plants, and all
applications We're made in duplicate upon
widely separated blocks. The results were
as follows:
Peroxide of Silicates.-NO effect.
Paris Green, dry, and in suspension in
forty and fifty gallons of water to one
pound of poison, apparently killed fully
one-half the young worms, but large
number escaped. The mixture in sixty
gallons of water accomplished but little.
London Purple in suspension produced
somewhat more marked effects than did
the Paris green. but was less effective
when applied dry.
Kerosene Emulsions.-These were much
more effective than were any others of
the applications made When the emul-
sions were diluted with twenty-five, forty
and fifty parts Of water, nearly every
worm AMI egg on the treated plants was
destroyed; when sixty parts of water
were used, a few, perhaps one-fourth es-
capped. When twenty-five parts of water

kill the few worms with which it came in
contact very soon after it's application.
From the fact that the worms enter
the fruit very soon after Matching itisim-
possible to ascertain the exact proper
ton which were killed, and the estimates
given above were based on the numbers
of young worms found in the fruits after
the applications had been made, as com
pared with the number found in adjoin
ing untreated blocks.
Trapping the moths means by OF lights
placed in dishes of sweetened water was
attempted, but with the usual result that
only males and a few aged females were
taken.
About June 1 the worms made their ap-
pearance about Starkville, and the work
was continued there. This was practi-
cally repetition of that already done at
Crystal Springs, and the results were SO
nearly the same that the details need not
be given.
Frlit was taken from plants which had
been sprayed with Paris green one week
after spraying, and a careful chemical
analysis OF the water in which it was
washed showed no trace of either arsenic
or copper.
During the entire time the worms were
found on the tomatoes the weather was
very rainy, and so made the work unsat-
isfactory, and in some cases twas impos-
sible to say whether the worms had been
killed by the application or were washed
off by the rain. AS result of the work
as whole, [ feel quite sure that thor
ough applications OF Paris green will be
found effective, and that these applica-
tons will have no injurious effect upon
the fruit From kerosene emulsions, di-
luted to one part in forty and used thor
oughly and persistently, still better re-
suits will be had, but the applications
must be made as often as once a week.
The first application may be made very
easily and quickly just before the plants
are taken from the cold frame.

POnpeiian E'etc.

Baltimore has in the past presented
summer attractions which have made
the city very popular and drawn thither
very many people from this section.
The Oriole Pageants, Trades Displays,
Exposition, and the like have been
strong cards in the way of demonstrate
ing the towns enterprise and liberality.
This summer however the city is to
eclipse all previous efforts in the shape
of a spectacle, as the Pompeiian Fete is
unquestionably to be the biggest out
door event ever attempted there.
The most extensive preparations are
being made at Pompeiian Park where
a space upward of six hundred feet
each way has been enclosed and where
an ampitheatre is now going up, cap
able of seating more than twelve
thousand people. A real lake over

The cut at the Homecoming Star last
week by the Frostburg Ledger brought
the twinkler out in good time Thurs
day.
Peter Egan. formerly of Frostburg,
was among the miners entombed last
Monday by the Dunbar PaD horror.
At last accounts he had not been
rescued. He leaves a family. Peter
Kelly, of Borden Shaft, his brother-in-
law, has gone to Dunbar to look after
the family. Two of the Devanys, sup
posed to belong to a family formerly of
this region, were also lost.
1t is said that Titus A. Brick will go
into the real estate business at Clarys-
vile. This important step warrants
the deduction that Mr.. Brick is over
worked and is seeking rest.
