Cotton Worn Prospects.

A considerable amount of fear is ex-
pressed by correspondents in agricul-
tural papers concerning the probability
of a serious loss this year from cotton
worms.
Among the causes of this uneasiness
seems first to have been the apprehen-
sion that the remarkably warm winter
we had would allow the moths to hiber-
nate in excessive numbers. This idea
was emphasized by some at the Cotton
Worm Convention, held at Little Rock
in January, and something of the kind
was expressed in the resolutions there
adopted, despite our strenuous opposi-
ton. The facts of the case seem to be
that a warm winter is by no means the
best for the Information of the moth.
We do not think that an especially
warm winter has ever been followed by
o bad cotton worm year.
Another point discussed at the same
convention was the statement made by
the chairman and. several other extern
siye planters, that the cotton worm
moth was even then to be found in
great numbers on their plantations. If
the moths would hibernate the past
winter as far north as Genital Arkan-
sas, we certainly would have a great
cause for alarm. .Ofcourse we express
ed at nee our doubt of the determine
ton, and some specimens were then
submitted to us which we're moths be-
longing to an entirely different family.
After the convention more were sent US
from different plantations, and others
sent to the Department of Agriculture
at Washington, but none of them prov.
ed to be the real cotton worm.
A third case of alarm is founded on
the belief that the cotton worm passes
the winter under ground as a pupa.
Some of those holding to this theory do
not distinguish between the cotton
worm and the boil worm, while others
suppose a Curious change of habit of the
cotton worm at the approach of winter.
1t will suffice to say that this latter by
pothesis is a mere speculation without
foundation in observation, and that the
pupa sent us this year, and more espe-
cially the great number sent to the
Department at Washington during the
last score of years, fail to give it any
support
What at the present time seems to
cause the most alarm is the presence of
a great number of moths, especially in
Texas, which are confidently believed
to be cotton worm moths. For the en-
couragement of planters we can say
that there is really small cause for
alarm. To show what weight this
statement has we will state that this
Station has secured the services as cor
respondents, of q large number of good,
reliable men in this State and in Mis-
sissippi, Louisiana and Texas, who will
keep us informed as to the presence
and numbers of the worms, We have
received from these correspondents
specimens OF the moths that are suppo-
sed to be the cotton worm moths, bat
ZONE of them have proved to be that
insect. The following announcement
has been quite widely circulated
through these States, and the fact that
the reward is still open proves how
extremely scarce the cotton worms and
moths are.

COTTON WORM MOTHS.

W. W ~ 4to1
Desiriag to make out with certainty
the Wintering grounds of the cotton
worm, the undersigned will give $500
reward to the first person sending a zeal
Cotton Worm Moth, taken alive this
year in the States of Arkansas, Missis-
sippi, Louisiana or Texas.
They are mostly to be found under
the shelter of rank wire grass, and may
also be found about gin houses or any
other suitable shelter. Many other
moths are to be found in the same stu
ations. They should be sent in a small
tin or wooden box, and accompanied by
a letter, giving the place and circum-
stances of its capture.
There are some who still believe that
the cotton worm passes the winter in
some other form, and to them / will
say that | will offer the same reward to
the first n sending living specimen of
any other stages. There is no likeli-
hood of any one earning this second
reward till the first spring brood of
worms appear.
Address all specimens and commune
cations to G. w. Woodwork, Entomo-
logist, Arkansas Agricultural Expert
ment Station, Fayetteville, Arkansas.
1t will be thus seen that az far as the
cotton worms are concerned, the plan
ter has, so far this year, a promising
outlook, but is not out of the place to
say something as to remedies. Paris
Green and London Purple are about
the sum of practical remedies for the
summer, and as o whole, between the
two, there is not much to choose. In
their application, the following points
should be considered
4. DO not apply except WHen needed.
This useless waste of time and poison
one sees during every cotton worm
scare. 1t is useless to poison a whole
plantation when, as is often the case,
the worms are confined to a small patch
or two.
2. DO not apply too much poison. A
pound or even a half pound to the acre
is enough to kill all the worms that are
ever found there.
3. DO not let field or spot become
Watch the fields carefully and
be prepared to poison as soon as the
worms become at all threatening.
a. apply the poison euenJg. One
pound all over the acre is infinitely bet
ter than ten pounds scattered around
spots. Be sure yon poison every
plant. e. w. WooDwoRTH,
