worms, by placing the poison in cloth
| sacks attached to the end of a pole and
this carried between the rows by la
borer on horseback. One pound of the
poison to the acre is amply sufficient,
and one application is enough, unless
a rain follows Immediately, in which
case another application should be made
promptly. While this poisoning will
not kill all Of the boil worms it will de-
stroy enough of them to make percep-
tiblc difference in the yield. Each of
these boil worms, when half grown, can
destroy several locks of cotton a day );
therefore it is easily seen that a pound
of prospective cotton can be destroyed
in short time by even limited num-
Der of the worms.
This early August application OF Paris
green will also destroy any leaf worms
that may be commencing work in the
fields, and thereby further protect the
crop. The leaf worms should be held
fully under control until about Septem-
Der I. After September IS it is better
in boil weevil infested neighborhoods to
let the leaf worms strip the cotton
plants than to poison them By their
work late in the season the leaf worms
open up the dense foliage AM permit
the sunlight to reach the lower bolls and
hasten their maturity and opening.
When the leaf worms are abundant
during October and November and
completely defoliate the cotton plants
they are highly instrumental i'll reduc-
ing the available food supply (green
leaves and squares) of the boil weevils
In addition to this their destruction of
the late forming squares in November
cuts off the breeding places for the last
brood of boil weevils, thereby greatly
reducing the number of weevils which
survive until frost to enter WfHter quar-
tiers. Thus it happens that while the
leaf worm is an enemy during midsum-
mer. it becomes in October and Noven-
Der a most valuable ally in the fight
against that greater enemy, the boil
weevil During July and August only
enough Paris green should be used to
protect the cotton from leaf worms
during the balance of the season they
should be encouraged and permitted to
increase as much as possible.
Summary: /. The third brood of boil
worms makes its appearance in early
August, and the small worms just
Matched from the egg, feed on the out
side of the squares, bolls and leaves,
where they can be reached with poison.
2. A light application of Paris green
should be made to the cotton between
August 5 and IS. to, destroy these young
boil worms, this application to be made
in the manner eustomarily employed in
applying Paris green for the leaf worm.
8. This application will also be effec
tive against any leaf worms now pres
ent in the field. and thus accomplish a
double purpose.
4. Poison should not under any cir
be applied to the cotton
after September 18th. as it is highly de-
sirable that the leaf worms should in
crease as much as possible late in the
season and by stripping the cotton cut
off the food supply of the boil Weevils,
thus reducing the number of the latter |
which will enter into winter quarters
when frost arrives.

 Besides the destruction of Chilpan- cingo and Chilapa 1t is now reported that Tixtla. between these two cities. containing about the same population as Chllpancingo. was leveled. Messen- gers from the coast who have reached Cbilpancingo also say that the towns Of Ayutla and Ometepec have been de- stroyed.
 The shocks continued at Chilpancin- go. 125 miles south of here. all night and were quite severe. Many of the buildings that were left half standing by the previous tremblings were lev eled to the ground. The last shock at Chilpancingo occurred at o'clock in the morning The general in command of the troops was severely injured. The jail. the hospitals and the school build ings at this town were destroyed. The prisoners are now being guarded by the rural guard.

 The federal government is extending aid to the town of Chilpancingo. but it will he impossible to restore calm until the shocks cease. The number os deaths reported to date Is thirty-seven.
