emerge in spring and deposit
their eggs in the growing tips of
field corn, which is then from
IL to Is inches high. The worms
(tirst brood) from these eggs
feed In the tip of the corn plants
and cause the leaves to have
ragged holes in them when they
unfold. These worms mature and
enter the earth. pass through the
pupal stage and reappear as adult
moths about the time the field
corn is in silk. Eggs are depos-
tied on the silks and the resulting
worms (second brood) eat the
milky kernels of the ear. When
mature they, like their ancestors,
enter the earth, pass through the
pupal stage and appear as moths
in early August. BY :his time
the field corn is ripened and hard
and not attractive to the moths,
so they turn To their second
choice of food plants, cotton,
as the place to deposit their eggs.
Thus we come to see why this
insect rarely appears in large
numbers in the cotton field until
in August and September. The
eggs laid on the cotton plants
soon hatch. into minute boil
worms (third brood) and these,
during tlh first few days of their
life, crawl about over the cotton
plant feeding here and there upon
the tender shucks, leaves and
exterior parts of the plant. 1t is
just at this stage that they can be
successfully poisoned. As thes
grow older in the latter part of
the month, they bore deep into
the green bolls and then for the
most part do their feeding beyond
the reach of poison.
The fourth brood develops in
the cotton fields.
The proper time to apply the
poison is between August 9Th and
18th, preferably between the 9Th
and 10th. 1t should be applied
in the same manner as for the
leaf worms, by placing the poison
in cloth sacks attached to the end
of a pole and this carried between
the rows by Iaborer on horse
back. One pound of the poison
to the acre is amply sufficient and
one application is enough (un-
less 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 destroy
enough of them to make per-
ceptible 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 pound of
prospective cotton can be de-
stroyed in short time by even a
limited number of the worms.
This early August application
of paris green will also destroy
any leaf worms that may be COM
mencing work in the fields, and
thereby further protect the crop.
The leaf worms should be held
fully under control until about
September LIST. After September
18th it is better Gin bpIl weeviI
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
and permit the sunlight % reach
the lower boIIs and hasten their
maturity and opening.
When the leaf worms are

abundant during October and
November and completely de-
foliate the cotton plants they are
highly instrumental in reducing
the available food supply (green
leaves and squares) of the boil
weevils. In addition to this their
destruction of the late-forming
squares Gin November) cuts off
the breeding place for the last
brood of boil weevils, thereby
greatly reducing the number of
Rweevils, which survive until frost
to enter winter quarters. Thus
it happens that, while the leaf
worm is an enemy during mid
summer, it becomes in October
and November a most valuable
ally in the fight against that
greater enemy, the boll weevil.
During July and August only
enough Paris green should be
used to protect the cotton from
the leaf-worms; during the
balance of the season they should
be encouraged and permitted to
increase as much as possible.
SUMMARY.
l. The third brood of boil
worms makes its appearance in
early August and the small
worms. just Matched from the
egg, feed upon the outside of
the. squares, boil and leaves,
where they can be reached with
poison.
2. A light application of Paris
green should be made to the
cotton between August 5th and
18th, to destroy these young boil
worms, this application to be
made In the manner customarily
employed in applying Paris green
tor the leaf-worm.
3. This application will also
be effective against any leaf
worms now present in the field,
and thus accomplish a double
purpose.
4. Poison should not under
any circumstances be applied to
the cotton after September Is, as
il is highly desirable that the
leaf worms should increase as
much "a possible late In the
season and, by stripping the cot
ton, cut off the food supply of
the boil weevils, thus reducing
the number of the latter which
will enter winter quarters when
frost arrives.

The management claims that the out.

much interested in the new form OF
amusement that Is to be offered.
II was announced several days ago
that Foster Brothers would furnish
one OF the acts for the opening, but

an exceedingly clever comedy sketch
have been engaged for the opening.

Grand will open with three vaudeville
acts instead Of two, as was at first
announced. Three vaudeville acts,

all for 10 cents, is surely going some.
To get the public started right We
will announce again that there will
be three performances nlghtly-7:30,

of Illustrated songs, motion pictures
