Under the code of 1872 those two
acts were repealed by the Repub

The Boil Worm.
The Remedy Would More Than
Pay For Itself Besides Killing
The Worms.

Tho ravages of the boil worm
in the cotton crCp this year have
been more general than ever kuo wn
before in the state, and a singular
fact is that the boil werm is not
always discovered until the dam
age has hsen done. Farmers have
said in answer to inquiries that the
worms were at work In their
neighbor's cotton, but they had
net discovered any in their own
crops, when'a closer examination
has revealed the presence of the
insidious enemy of the crop. The
cotton bolls are perforated so ac>
cufately that the name of sssharp..
shooter" has been given to the
insect in some sections, and it is
more than probable that his dead
lv work can he found in almost
any community. 1t Is very desir-
able that remedy he found to
prevent these ravages and DESTROY
the worn itself, which has been
so injurious to the cotton crop in
many sections, and as it increases
like the potato bug, wherever it
obtains a footing, the remedy
must come In the way nf a pre-
ventive rather than to undertake.
its destruction after it has com
manced on the crop.
1t is too late to com bat the boil
worm whom his work begins
on the boil itself, and like all
other insects that are injurious to
growing crops the surest method
of dealing with them is to adopt
preventive measures. The fact is
observed that hibernation takes
place in the pupal condition in the
infested fields, and 1t follows that
fall blowing is the most valuable
OF all preventives Treatment of
tue SOIL In this way serves to break
mp the cells in which the embryo
worm is resting for the winter.
and Is almost certain to DESTROY
the insects id thsir incipient stage.
Fall blowing is benifcial IN SO
many respects that the boil worm
is not wlthaut its compensation If
farmers are compelled by this
means to protect themselves from
It's devastating presence.
