The Spined Tobacco Bug.

Occasional plants in tobacco fields
are at times observed to have become
suddenly wilted, the leaves hanging
severed After a time they recover
again, and beyond a temporary check
on their growth appear to have suf-
fered but little injury. If such plants
are searched carefully while still
wilted, fiat brown bug with each

Tobacco Worms on Drying Tobacco.

- y
In the hurry to get tobacco under
cover a good many worms are some
times carried into the barn on the
freshly cut plants. Contrary to what
would be expected they continue to
feed on the leaves for several days
afterward and may in this time de-
YOUR the better part of whole plants.
The tobacco dries very slowly and the
worms thrive on it, seemingly, for
some time, about as we'll as on the
growing plants. Growers familiar
with this characteristic of the pest
take care ordinarily to have every
worm removed before the tobacco is
housed. With the tobacco crowded in
the barn it would be very trouble
some task to remove worms which

Fertilizing Tobacco.

EeICI11AlnS IODacco.
Mr.. Lindsey, residing near Jackson
vile, has for years grown tobacco fo
his own manufacture. A representa-
tive of the Farmer and Fruit-G Grower
visited him recently and noted some
interesting facts derived from Mr.
Lindsey's experience We quote as
follows:
Last year he purchased for his fac
tory small crop grown in the neigh
borhood on cow manure. and he soon
discovered that he had made a blum
der. Leaf grown on this kind of ma
nure, though it gives off a satisfac-
tory aroma in burning, ashes black.
He illustrated this by igniting the to-
bacco in question.
In the demonstration below given
we will designate cow manure as No.
l and horse manure as No. 2. He
caused one of his factory hands to
roll up a cigar of which the filters
were grown on manure No. 2, the
binders on No. 1 and the wrapper on
No. ? When the cigar was burned it
showed plainly the difference in the
ash of the three different strata
white in the heart, black intermedi-
ate, white outside. Of course our
well-informed readers will not need
to be told that a cigar which burns
hlocly &c oh 10 TO e
good taste.
Paris Green on Tobacco.-The blow
gun for busting tobacco and other
plants with Paris green, was test
ed in our presence and it's eff
fectiveness demonstrated. 1t con-
ssts of long metallic chute or fume,
suspended by strap from the left
shoulder, and pointing downward and
outward or horizontally as the size of
the plants to be busted may require.
The fan or blow gun is worked by
small crank turned by the right
hand; the workman walks rapidly
along the row on which side the di-

not to blow the poison into his face.
The Paris green is used without adj
mixture, about a pound to the acre
being sufficient for an average field of
plants, though more would be re-
quired for very large ones.
But great care must be observed not
to dust them too literally, else the
plants will be killed. The feed must
be SO adjusted that the Paris green
will issue forth as barely visible
cloud and no more-a family percep
tible spray of green. Even then the
workman has to walk almost on a
run or else too much Of the poison
Gus dust will be deposited on the
leaves. 1t is tolerably hard work to
operate this machine properly, but of
it's effectiveness in killing the YER
min there seems no room for ques-
ton. The Paris green needs to be APP
piled afresh only after each rain, I'M
less so long an interval elapses that
several new leaves grow out and need
to be busted.

angle, or sharp spine, will be found OF
the stalk among the bases of tn
leaves 1t is very shy, however, an,
keeps out of sight, hence any brisl
movement about the injured plants i
likely to conceal itself. 1t is one O.
the puncturing kind, and carries
slender beak held up against it's body
between the bases of the legs.
My attention was called by DR.
Spur, of the Experiment Station, tc
such wilted plants in a plot of tobac-
co on the Experiment Farm, July Is
of last summer. On searching them I
found the majority of the affected
plants with one of these bugs on the
stem. Those which injured the other
plants probably had been previously
alarmed and had escaped. Since then
the injury has been described to me
by other persons, and quite recently I
have learned of a case which occurred
across the kentucky river in Clark
county. 1t appears, therefore, to be
somewhat general injury to tobacco
in this part of Kentucky, and since
the insect is widely distributed in the
United States, it probably attacks to-
bacco in other states. In the case
which came under my personal obser-
walton on the Experiment Farm the
injured tobacco was grown next a
pasture. The tobacco grown else
where on the farm was not attacked,
and hence it is probable the bugs
came in from heritage growing in the
pasture. The insects captured by me
were, with one exception, adults.
The plants were about half grown.
Length Of adult bugs from front of
head to tips of folded wings one-half
inch (13 mm). From tip to tip of
the spines on side of body rather less
than a third of an inch (7.67 mm).
Body fat (depressed). Head flat,
rounded in front. Division of body
bearing the spines, concavely arcuate
before the spine of each side. A large
plate between the basis
of the wings. Wings folded fiat on
the back, the thin membraneous tips
overlapping. Color above drab, pale
greenish or yellowish below. Feelers
black at tips, the basal two-thirds red.
Several very similar plant-infesting
bugs of the same genus occur here,
and may easily be mistaken for this
one. The spined soldier bug (Podisus
spinosus), an inveterate foe of young
potato bugs, is also like it in a gen
eral way, but has thicker beak, and
bears distinct dash of black in the
membraneous tip of each front wing.
To prevent the injury it is only nee
essary to search the wilted plants
and removethe bugs, and to keep down
weeds, especially thistles and mullen,
which are very attractive to such in
sects, on any unusual land which may
adjoin tobacco fields.-Kentucky Ex-
pertinent Station Bulletin.

PREMATURE CAMPAIGNING.
People Opposed to Agitating the Political
Atmosphere at This Time.

The suggestion made in q card
signed Glow Taxation, of a ticket
for aldermanic honors in the next
election. which was published in the
local papers yesterday morning,
stirred up considerable talk. Much
speculation was INDUCED in as to
where the ticket originated. 1t is
said it was nominated at an informal
assemblage In the office of Mr.. r. r.
Hopkins.
There seems to be general senti-
ment among the citizens IN opposition
to starting municipal campaign so
early, when the election is four months
off. The anonymous suggestion of
names, and especially of the names of
gentlemen whom, 1t is not believed,
could be induced to make the race,
having too much business OF their
own to attend to, can do no good. By
engendering political agitation at a
time when the city Is trying to get
down to business and reap some of the
benefits of the trade revival, such an
nouncements are capable of doing
harm.
THE TIMES will, therefore, give pub
liclty to no more of these anonymous
suggestions, believing that there is a
proper time to consider such things,
and that time has not yet arrived.

AS soon as a pole can be erected over
THE TIMES office, the local weather
observer will resume the displaying Of
daily weather signals-aH enterprise
which was temporarily paralyzed bv
the slight draught we had on Septem-
ber 90 last. The daily display of the
tags had progressed very satisfactOr-
lily up to that momentous date, and
the public was beginning to pay some
attention to the warnings expressed
by the governmental banners. After
the blow had subsidized the local
weather observer made search for
his signal apparatus, but was unable
to find even so much as strand OF
the hOisting-rOpe, Flags, pole, and
tackle were gone. The thermometer
was shattered, and the rain-guage
waited away. The displays had to be
abandoned.
Since that date, the local observer
has been making almost daily appeals
to the national government to furnish
him with substitutes for the stOrm-de-
stroyed apparatus. AT last the ap-
peals have been answered. The |. W. o.
