Houston. Thursday, September Z
The crop Of cotton worms promises to be
Anger this year and to do moro damage
20 the great Texas plant than for several
scnsons. The Posts crop report issued on
August 81 Indicated that worms were be-
! ginning to appear in several sections OF
the State. and in the last day or two
there have been additional complaints Of
!. the pests. The farmrrs arc endeavoring
10 prevent Their spread BY the use OF IN
secticides and the sales Of Paris green by
Scca; dealers recently have been very
large.
In discussing the situation. the repre-
sentafive Of wholesale paint hoaise said
today: I'VE have sold more Paris grccn
In the last two weeks thar for the simc
period in five seasons previous to this
The demand has come all at once. is much
later than usual and indicates that the
WORMS have appeared at the eleventh
hour. Tho stock OF insecticides here Is not
very nrge. and II the present demand
continues the supply will not last much
longer. We are receiving orders from
many points on the Southern Pacific from
here to San Antonio; on the Ceatral from,
Houston to Austin on the Katy from hero
90 Waco: on thc Interna tional and Great |
Northern from here % Hearre, and this |
morning orders came In from few places |
on the Houston East and West Texas
'The large extent OF territory covered |
tv these orders Indicates that the worms
are likely to become a greater pest this |
year than for a long time past. 1t also
seems that the growers were unprepared
for the rayages 81 the pest and had mode
no preparations TO stop them upon their
first appearance For the last two or
three years they have been bothered very
little by worms, tho weather being the
main cause OF damage To- the crop.
"A bad feature OF the situation Is tho
fssct that paint dealers in Texas are carry
ing rwthcr light stocks OF both Pars
green and London purple. These paints
are In little or no demand except MS IN
sncticidey. ard tho insignificant cron az
worms last year anu tho year before gave
dealers no announcement to order lnrgs
supplies for this season In addition q,
this. nearly all the Eastern manufacturers
nave shut down on these paints for this |
year believing that there wOuld he no
demand after August. as Is usually he
case
We are IN hopes that the grread OF the
pests can be stopped but the weather re-
Gently has been very favorable for them |

here exhausted and none to be had In
