preparation of the crop, planting, etc.
Cotton, like corn and other grains, is
a crop of what we may call low COM
merciaI value. That Is to say, the cash
return from an acre devoted to cotton is
low as compared to the return from
some other crops. An acre devoted 10
strawberries may yield net return OF
$500, but an acre devoted to cotton
will usually yield not over $50. Thus,
while one might profitably spend $40
or $50 per acre to combat insects on
strawberries, the average farmer can
not spend more than a few dollars per
acre at most to combat cotton insects,
if he is to make a profit
With any crop which is grown in such
large areas, and where there are SO
many individual plants, it is usually un-
profitable to adopt any method which
calls for the treatment of individuals

FIGHTING THE COTTON PESTS
Annual Loss by Insects May in Time, Be Prevented by the
Adoption of Different Methods of Raising Cotton

How long the cotton grower will be
willing to calmly sacrifice the large
amount of money which is the annual
toll to insects, is largely for him to de-
eide. While it is true that no grower
however energetic and earnest can en-
tirely prevent loss from this source, 1t
is safe to say that at least one-third
of this total loss could be prevented
at trivial expense. merely by the adop-
ton of different methods of rotation or

Intelligent farmers everywhere are
coming to see that some system of ro-
tation is necessary to secure the hest
results with any crop. To grow any one
crop continuously on the same land year
out the important elements of plant Iooo
for that crop, as well as to deplete the
supply Of humus, which is so pecessary
to every soil. To grow the same crop
continuously also gives every opportunity
for the insect pests of that crop TO
multiply undisturbed until they become
destructive enough TO ruin It. Crops
with different requirements should fol-
low one another continuously so as ito
keep something growing on the land all
the time.
In some respects cotton is unfortunate
in regard to rotation for insect pests. for
if we rotate in such a way as to avoid
one, we are liable to play directly INTO
the hands $50 to speak, of another. II cot
ton follows a growth OF weeds and grass,
serious damage by cut-worms may be ex-
pected. If cotton follows cowpeas, Il is.
liable to be damaged by the cowpea-pod
weevil. while if cotton follows corr it
is likely to be attacked by the cotton
root-louse. The grower must, therefore.
be sufficiently watchful and intelligent to
know what his serious pests are, and
must then choose such system as win
give the least opportunity TO his worst
pests. Carefully studied out and used.
the rotation of cotton with other crops
can be made quite effectual in avoiding
cut-worms, cow-pea-pod weevii, root
louise and red spider, and to a lesser ex-
tent it may be helpful against the cotton
leaf-louse.
But il the farmer is to know just what
methods to adopt to avoid insect pests,
he should know just what those insects
are. and how they live, grow and change
from one stage of life to another.
The cotton worm is the larva or cot
erpiIIar of a flying moth and is SOME
times very destructive to the late top
growth OF cotton.
The culture methods of rotation and
cultivation which are SO uselui against
a number of our cotton pests are rela-
lively useless and impracticable against
this flying pest.
On the whole the methods Of COM
batting the cotton worm consists in the
application of direct remedies, In the
form of poisons put on the foliage to kill
the caterpillars They are so ravenous
that they are easily killed by this means.
the main question being to devise means
for applying the remedies over large
fields at low enough cost to be profitable
The course usually adopted is to dust dry
Paris green on the plants
From one to three pounds viii be SUM-
cient for treating an acre of cotton II
should be busted on as soon as the work
of cotton worm becomes evident, with
out waiting until the tender top foliage Is
all eaten away.
The poison may be put on pure OF
aixed with an equal quantity Of powder
ed air-sIacked lime, or land plaster. It
should be busted on in early morning; or
late afternoon so the dews will cause 1t
to adhere to the foliage.
