Remedy For Corn stalk Borsrs.

QUESTION. -Will you please also give
me a remedy for what / call borOrs in
corn? They bore into it when quite
young, just above the grains, and the
stalk after it gets up foot high looks
like load of shot had passed through
the blades.
ANSWER From the description of
the trouble given in the above question,
it is quite impossible to say just what
borer is referred to, since there are
not less than a dozen insects that have
the habit of boring into the corn plant.
1t Is very probable. however, that the
Southeastern Corn.root Worm" is the
culprit doing the damage in this case.
This worm is about half inch in length.
slender and whitish. 1t is the larva of
a small, oval bodied beetle with 70
black spots on its greenish yellow wing
covers.
These beetles feed on cucumbers.
squashes, melons and variety of other
vegetables. There are two broods of
this insect in one season and it winters
in the adult stage.
No practical remedy for this insect is
known, but clean cultivation and lib
eral application of stimulating fertili.
Zera are recommended to enable this
plant to outgrow the attacks and resist
the efforts OF the borers. Clean cultiva-
ton Is not only advisable in the case of
this particular insect, but it will do
much TO reduce injuries by various other
cornroot pests.

THE PROFITS OF COTTON MILLs.I
Is. c. Free Lance.

Spartanburg Is. O. Free Lance.
To give tangible idea of what
is being made by the cotton mills
III this Piedmont region of South
Carolina, we submit some facts,
which we are prepared to sub
stantlate, as to certain cotton
mill in this section. At the be-
ginning of the last cotton season
(about October 1st, 1S90) this
cotton mill had on hand about
5000 bales of old cotton, bought
the previous season at the low
price then prevailing. Believing
that the cotton crop was short
this company bought 1900 bales
of the new crop just as rapidly as
money could get it into its ware
houses. The cost of this cotton
when stored, all charges included,
was less than 81 cents pound.
Since the time of the purchase of
these 1900 bales, cotton has
greatly advanced in price, and if
this mill should now sell its cot
ton and not spin pound Of it,
the profits from the sale of the
raw cotton would enable the COM
pany to declare a dividend of 834
per cent. on it's entire capital
stock. But by converting this in
to cloth and selling the cloth at
present prices this cotton mill
company will realize a net earn
ing of 100 per cent. To make the
matter perfectly plain: Suppose
that these 10000 bales cost on an
average of 81 cents per pound,
and that the cost of manufacture
ing the raw cotton into cloth will
be 81 cents per pound, making a
total cost of 104 cents per pound.
From this cloth when sold the
company will realize 25 cents for
every pound of cotton used. De-
duct from this the cost of the raw
cotton (68 cents), and the expen-
ses of manufacturing same (34
cents) making total of 104 cents,
and you will have a net profit to
the mill of LA cents per pound.
These 10000 bales, at 500 pounds
to the bale, would aggregate s.
100000 pounds, which at 144 cents
per pound, would net the compa-
ny 81, 100000. You can deduct
from this the cost of handling,
insurance, repairs, ETC., and still
the net profits will be more than
a million dollars; and we would
add that this mills capital stock
is not million dollars. If there
is any other industry paying 100
per cent. on the investment we
would be glad for some of our
readers to call it to our attention.
