make a thorough application. When
the plants are badly infested the
leaves become very much curled SO
that it is difficult to reach the lice.
Here we see the advantage of max
ing the application early, before the
leaves get curled. But even if they
are curled it is quite practicable to
have a boy, barefoot and with sleeves
rolled up, to accompany the sprayer
and rapidly turn the leaves from
side to side while the application IS
being made.
' If taken in time, n application
will usually be sufficient. Otherwise,
it may be necessary to give a second
treatment a week or ten days later.
By following these directions many
thousands of plants were saved last
wear, and we already have letters
from growers who have successfully
followed the method this winter and
spring.
Within the last two weeks we have
had Quite a number of inquiries about
thisi pest, and if we do not soon have

TALKS ON INSECT PESTS.
XXIII.-The Cabbage-louse and How
to Combat 1t.

Messrs. Editors The cabbage
louise, having safely passed through
an unusually hard winter, is now sat
isfying his ravenous appetite at the
expense of cabbages, turnips, mus
tard, etc.
This insect must not be confused
with the harlequin bug or with the
common cabbage worms. The cab
bage louise is a very small, gray, soft
bodied louise that gathers in great
numbers on the leaves and stems of
the cabbage and does damage by
sucking the. sap from the plant.
On account of the fact that it
sucks the sap, instead of eating the
leaves, it cannot be fought satisfac-
torily by using Paris green or other
similar poisons.
Last year we had experience with
this insect, and found a very simple
and effectual remedy. Ordinary laun-
dry soap, dissolved in water at the
rate of one and one-half pounds to
four gallons of water and applied
thoroughly with a spray pump, will
certainly kill them. If the soap be
cut into thin pieces and boiled in
two gallons of the water it will quick
ly dissolve, when cold water NAV
be added to make the four gallons. It
should then be applied while still
warm.

history of the cotton trade.
warehousinR System Necessary.
A large quantity of spot cotton has
been forced upon the market during
the past thirty days, due almost en-
tirely to the fact that there has been
no system for housing and caring for
our cotton, and, as it was beginning
to damage, particularly in the South
west, the owners thereof felt com
PEELED to sell it at present prices. A
good system of warehouses is abso-
lutely essential to the proper mar
keting of the cotton crop, and at this
time very great interest is being
aroused throughout all the cotton
growing States along that line. A
large number of warehouses are al
ready In course of construction or
in contemplation of being built, and
interest is being generally manifest
ed by the bankers, merchants and
farmers. If the cotton acreage is
materially reduced, we can at once
proceed to retire from the market
until next season a large portion of
the present surplus, and this, in con-
nection with the reduced acreage,
will give us a strong and healthy
market for that part of the crop
which will be needed for consump-
ton between now and the first of
September next.

Dear Sir:-I am in receipt of

reply beg to say that my itinerary IN
North Carolina for next week will
include the following points:
Charlotte, April 18th.
Concord, April 18th.
Salisbury, April 18th.
Monroe, April 14th.
/ shall be accompanied by Hon. FL
lison B. Smith, President South Car

18th at Fayetteville, n. c., but will
not be with me at Monroe on that
date. He will also speak with me at
the other three points named. The
time is short and / was not notified
of this itinerary until yesterday, but
/ am sure that you will assist in adj
vertising the dates as much as posi-
bic.
Encouraged Over the Outlook.
/ am greatly encouraged over the
outlook up to the present time. /
feel fully convinced that there will
be a material reduction in the cotton
acreage throughout the entire cotton
belt and a corresponding curtail-
ment in the use of commercial fer
t~ilizers under cotton for 1905. The
campaign which has been so vigo-
rously pushed by the officers of our
Association in the VARIOUS State Di-
visions Is bearing splendid fruit, and
this work is being rapidly perfected
throughout the entire cotton belt.
Nearly all of the States have per-
fected a sysetm of organization and
prominent speakers are stumping
their respective States, calling upon
the people to reduce their acreage
and to stand by the Association dur
ing the present crisis which con-
fronts the entire people of the
South. Our prosperity for several
years to come depends upon a cur
tailment of the production of cotton
In 1905.
Danger of a Double Surplus.
We hope to solve the cotton prob
lem of the future by broadening our
markets and creating a heavy de-
mand to meet the constantly increas-
ing supply. which will necessarily de-
velop in the future, but just now
there is only hope of successful
ly overcoming the predieament,
which the present heavy surplus to
be carried over into the croE of
1905, places us in, and that is to so
reduce the output of cotton this
year as that the crop produced in
1905, added to the surplus from the
crop of 1904, will not be greater than
the actual needs of consumption by
the world in 1906.
L trust that the work of organiza-
ton will be rapidly pushed in your
State. and hope that my visit next
week will result in arousing renewed
interest in the movement. Since the
New Orleans Convention we have
been remarkably successful in our

 Montevallo, Aug. 12.-(Stan Cores pondence. )-Here is the citadel of wo- men industries in Alabama. On beautiful hilltop. enjoying one of the highest elevations in the State. rests the Alabama Girls Industrial School. 1t is the only institution in Alabama that has been established exclusively for the uplift of home and society. Only in Montevallo. in the walls of this already famous, but young college. IS the scientific education of women ana girls undertaken in an Alabama student body.
 All departments of domestic arts are included in the courses of study of- fered by the Girls Industrial School. There are in addition an academic. normal and fine art course.
 The college has been running only eight years, yet 1t has risen into re- markable prominence among tho people of Alabama and other States. The genuine methods of instruction and equipments are the best that could have been procured for such training and education as the president and trustees guarantee to willing students.
 In the eight years the school has been in existence, by good manage ment, the numerous purposes for which if was created have been attained.
 In these walls e carefully selected faculty is prepared to equip Alabamas young women.
 To exert an uplifting and refining in- huence in the home and in society by means of the cultured intellect trained systematically in the liberal arts and sciences.
 To do effective work as professional teachers.
 To be skilled in those domestic arts that are fundamental in all true house. | keeping and home-making. TO be seif-supportins through pro- | fciency In one or more of those indus- trial or fine arts open to women The different courses in domestic science at Montevaila are dress -mak- | ing. millinery and cooking. 1 The school has excellent boarding | arrangements. incuding a dormftory | with accomodations for 22s students Board is also available in private families, living just outside the campus The matriculation in the Industrial School is increasing materially with each year. demonstrating the popularity 1 of the institution.

All that pnnn Feared.

Lucy is a very cowardly little gIrI.
 The world Is so full of terrors for her indeed that her life Is scarcely worth the living. Her father, finding that sympathy only increased this unfortu- nate tendency, decided to have a seri- ous talk with his little daughter on the subject of her foolish fears. Father" she said at the close of his lecture, "when you see a COW ain't you 'fraidr' "No. certainly not, Lucy!" When you see a horse ain't you 'fraid7" No. of course not." When you see a dog ain't you 'fraid?" No" with empha- sis. When you see bumblebee aint you 'fraid?' Nor with scorn. "Aint you 'fraid when 1t thunders?" No" with loud laughter. "oh, you silly. silly childw Father" said Lucy sol emnly, 'ain't you 'fraid of nothin' In the world but mother?"

The Birmingham Age-Herald yester- day morning said:
 In all probability an extra session of the Legislature will be called this fall, This statement Is based on an answer Governor W. D. Jelks made to a direct question at the Union Passen- ger Station last night while he was en route from Montgomery to Blount Springs.
 will there be an extra session of the Legislature this fall?" was asked the Governor. ,fps.
 T would not be surprised" was his reply. -, u ed?" was asked.
 When the frost falls." answered the Chief Executive.
 What are the reasons which may make an extra session necessary"
 But the Governor had said as much as he cared to say on that subject. and maintained discreet silence to the last question.
 On other subjects he talked freely.
 Tn my opinion there Is no moro yell low fever in Montgomery than there IS in Birmingham or any other city Tn Alabama said the Governor in reply to a question. The one imported case that we had there is now practically a thing of the past and there is not an- other case there, nor do think that there Is any danger of one.
 T am on my way back to Blount Springs By the way, when does Birm- inRham or Jefferson County intend to raise the quarantine against Montgom- cry? About the. first of next week? well, might have stopped over here tonight if they would allow me to get off the train. but you know l. have just come from Montgomery and the quar- antine men would not let me get off the train.
 T don't believe that there is anything | of special interest going on in the State | further than the quarantine" Again the Governor refused to an swer any more questions relative to the | probability of an extra session of the | Legislature. The admission from him | that he would not be "surprised' if one was called is taken to mean that one
 will be called. l An extra session has been rumoreo in political circles for several weeks | but no definite announcement has ever been obtained. There are generally l supposed to be half dozen matters. nc | one of which is deemed of sufficient inn l portance to demand an extra session 1 but the various matters combined may
 make a legislative session worth while One of the important matters which ] will probably come up Is readtust'
 ment of the courts in the State. The
 court bill passed at the last session wal 1 declared unconstitutional by the Su. | preme Court and some trouble and con | fusion ensued.
