In view of the alarming spread Of the cotton worm In Alabama during the past two weeks the state experi- mont station at Auburn Is making herculean efforts to get informa ton to the farmers on how to combat the evil. State Entomologist W. E.. Kinds is spreading this information broadcast and points out how a few dollars spent by planters now may save tho state from s20, 0,ooo,OoO' to s5o,Oo0,ooo.
 MT Hinds has sent out the following information, which should be read by every man interested in the cotton in- dustry:
 The Dusting Outfit
 The simplest possible method, for destroying cotton worms Is to apply a dry poison like Paris green, or bet ter, powdered arsenate of lead. dusted through bags carried at the ends of a pole or piece of narrow board, by a man riding a mule This covers two rows at time and IS to 20 acres can be treated by one man in day. On moonlight nights the work might prob ably be continued in cases of emerg- ency.
 Where many acres are to be treated at least two poles should be provided for each rider. and an extra helper can then keep one filled and ready for each man to change without waiting when they reach the end of their supply A very convenient arrangement. as shown in figure 1, may be made from a piece of 1x3 inch board The length should be from 12 to IS inches longer than the distance between cotton rows. A large hole is bored in each end through which the poison can be poured by using large funnel. These holes are closed with plugs or shoppers after the

UTOPIA
Sir Thomas More's Dream Realized
 by Policeman


 Norfolk, Va. August 17.-Utopia seems at last to have been found in Virginia summer resort. At Virginia Beach tho town council has sounded the virtue of the community. and finding nothing to condemn has voted unanimously to apol- ish the police department on September l.. But Towns Sergeant A. F. Dozier, U Vir- ginia Beach's police force does not re- linquish his badge without protest. He points to the fact that the pesent Utop- ian conditions are the direct result of his administration, and that it was through his efforts that Sunday whisky selling an1 many forms Of gambling disappeared rem the beach. A Tn. town council does not share his views that eternal vigilance is necessary to retain these conditions and has ruth lessIy abolished his position

treatment will have to be repeated to destroy the worms.
 The difficulty in many cases may be to get Paris green at all. In any case we cannot recommend the use of Paris green as strongly as we do the next material which is newer and less widely known insecticide.
 Powdered arsenate of lead was first made only a few years ago. It Is a very fine powder having about one half the amount of arsenic in it that is in Paris green and should there- fore be used at least twice as strong as we use Paris green to secure the some killing power. It never burns even if applied to foliage in heavy doses and sticks to the leaves very we'll in spite of rains. It seems to be so very fine that 1t gets into the small depressions on the leaves and the water runs over it. We therefore advise dose of three pounds of powdered arsenate of lead per acre, when this can be secured, in place of Paris green. No flour or any other material is needed In this case. Closely woven bag cloth should be used with this very fine material It is easier to apply this arsenate of lead evenly than it Is with Paris green and flour.
 When Should Poison Be Applied
 Watch your cotton closelys and frc- auently for the first signs of worm work. These usually occur in the low wet places where the cotton Is rank The, .ott on worm feeds on no plant but cotton and few other worms do similar work In ragging the leaves or stripping the plants The first crop of worms win usually appear in spots through the field and not attacking all parts uniformly. The worms should be poisened at once whenever. and wherever they are found to be 'ragging' the tops of the plants. At the time of appearance of the first crop it will not pay usually to treat the whole. field unless the worms are found scattered through It. If the first crop appears in considerable numbers during the last of July or first of Au-

OUTBREAKS IN OTHER YEARS


 } The cotton worm is not a native ( , insect, but has been introduced into ( the United States from some coun- } try farther south, where cotton , grows wild. The first outbreak of } it occurred In Georgia and South } Carolina in 1793. Since that time , there have been some cotton worms probably every year, but often they } have been so few in numbers that they have passed unnoticed. Their , scarcity may be due to unfavorable climatic conditions or to. control by natural enemies. During this 11S years there have ( been six great caterpillar years, when the worms appeared in wide } ly separated localities during the last of July or.=the first weeks of } August and destroyed from 25 to 75 } per cent of the cotton crop in sev- eral states. In 1873 there occurred { } the last general outbreak of the worms In Alabama In that year } Alabama suffered the greatest loss { } ever recorded. At the end of that { } season 3s counties reported the { worms ] A study of the history of the { } cotton worm shows that the great { ] est damage has always been done ! during wet seasons when the cotton { ) was rank and often later and the { |, irst crop of worms appeared be- } fore the middle of August. The s generations or crops of worms ! follow each other in three to four } weeks. After the ''ragging' of the , leaves begins 1t Is often less than { ! a week before every leaf has been stripped from the plants.

What Poisons Can Be Used

There are practically only two pois-
 ons for the man without a spraying
 outfit to choose between: Paris green
 and arsenate of. lead. London purple
 has heen Used. sometimes but 1t is too
 likely to seriously burn the plants and
 cannot be recommended except possi
 bly as last desperate resort when
 neither of the others can be secured.
 The man with spray pump can use
 several other materials, such as arse
 nate of lead pastes arsenate of lime,
 etc. E .e
 Paris Green is the oldest and best
 known material used for poisoning cat erpillars. It may be obtained in small quantities of local dealers. but If need ed in lots of 100 pounds or more or ders will usually have to be filed through wholesale druggists in the larger cities or ordered directly from the manufacturers. Paris green should be applied at the rate of about ono pound of the poison per acre. Unless evenly applied 1t Is laible to. burn the plants which are dusted most heavily | with it. To, dilute if somewhat and es-
 pecially to aid 1t In sticking to the pants, we advise using two pounds or flour with each pound of Paris green. I Two pounds of -four VIII provide all the paste needed and more is just so much kcxtra expense, and waste. The flour does not prevent the burning at all,
 but does form paste which holds the poison on the plant better through
 dews and light rains. Heavy rains wash 1t off the plant anyway. If a I rain falls within 24 hours after Paris / green Is applied. 1t iss liSeiy that the

poison has been put into the bags. thus preventing any spilling or waste of the poison. The bags should be tackled to the ends lengthwise instead of hang ing straight down. This gives a better distribution of the poison over the rows
 Various kinds of cloth may be used to make the bags. If cheese cloth is used, it will require several thickness to hold the poison so as not to give 1t out too fast old flour bags, drilling or duck, may also be used. In any case, determine how much poison Is to be applied and whether it is to be used alone, as in the case of arsenate of lead or with some flour as with Paris green. The amount of poison dis tributed will depend upon the tightness of the cloth and the amount of jar or shaking given the pole. For distribut- ing poison at the rate of three pounds per acre. a rather tight cloth should be used and frequent light taps on the. pole will give far more even distribu- tion than will an open cloth and occa sional heavy shakinge.
