THE COTTON CATERPILLAR.

Clemson college has sent out the
following with reference to cotton
caterpillars. 1t is interesting, but the
suggestions, except the one relating
to fall plowing, are rather late to be
of value:
Reports from various sections of
the state indicate that the ravages of
the cotton caterpillar are decidedly
general. The old cotton has suffered
relatively little from its attacks, but
1t appears from reports in many in
stances that the late cotton has sus-
tained rather considerable damage.
In it's feeding, the caterpillar eats
preferably the young leaves, buds and
squares Of the cotton. The eggs are
laid on the under side Of the leaves
of the cotton. usually on the larger and
lower leaves. These hatch out into
the striped caterpillars seen so abun-
dainty and, becoming full grown, web
up forming a chrysalis or cocoon
from which emerges an olive to clay
yellow colored moth about II inches
from tip to tip of wings, with a
leaden colored spot on each fore
wing. The eggs which are overtaken
by frost perish and hence We find that
the bulk Of these forms pass the win
ter in the chrysalis or pupal stage.
Fall plowing Of affected areas will be
Of great destructive damage to the
wintering forms
THE best remedial measure Is the
application Of paris green at the rate
Of 2 to q pounds per acre applied
in the dry form in the early morn
ing when the foliage Is moist. A one
inch board, about eight inches in
width, about six inches wider on
each end than the width of the cotton
row, and trimmed in the middle so
as to make it easily handled before
man on mule, Is the chief piece
of apparatus needed. A one or two
inch augur hole should be bored in
either end so as to At the rows, and
under these should be tackled an
eight t-ounce duck bag. The paris
green can then be poured into these
bags and the opening closed. If in
telligent labor Is used, by experiment.
ing, a jolt on the board can be de-
termined sufficiently strong to put out
the required 2 to "a pounds to the
acre. Should this not be the case, 1t
would be better to use cheese cloth
bags and dilute the paris green to
about ten times its volume with land
plaster, flour or air-slacked lime. The
caterpillars taking this substance into
their digestive tracts are poisoned by
the arsenic contained in it, and death
follows as the result. Paris green
may be obtained from almost any
drug store at about twenty-five cents
per pound"

one, for as between the performance
of several Of the contestants 1t was
necessary to draw lines that were ex-
ceedingly fine.
For the fiddlers the first prize went
to H. B. Mcdaniel, the second to ]. j.
]. Robinson and the third to Bert Clin-
ton. For the guitarists the first prize
went to j. ]. Malone and the second
to J. G. Johnson. For the banjoists,
the first prize went to II. S. Michaels
and the second to w. c. Branch. H. S.
Michaels was declared the best dancer
and John Michaels the second best, but
a good many seemed to think that one
Of these prizes should have gone to
Raymond Carroll
The convention, after a few appro-
pirate Introductory remarks by Rev.
Mr. Harrell, was opened with an al
| together" overture that would have
done credit to high class profession
al band, and closed in a like manner
The features Of the contest that
brought down the house most effect
lively probably were the violin play
ing and singing of Mr.. Robinson, the
singing of Mr.. Malone with guitar ac-
compartment, the guitar and harmon
lea combination performance of Mr..
Johnson, and Michaels' banjo picking.
No other event of the evening, how
ever, came up to the performance of
Malone, who is pretty nearly a whole
show in himself and would probably
make good even on the metropolitan
stage.

THE CHESTER ROAD.

The Chester road from Yorkville to
the Chester line was for years the
heaviest, stickiest and altogether the
meanest road out Of Yorkville. AL
though following ridge, and crossing
no water except at one place, 1t was
up hill and down hill and through long
stretches Of peculiarly soft and sticky
red clay, which though fairly good
when dry was, during the fall, winter
most needed, simply horrible.
But now over the entire stretch OF
about fourteen miles the Chester road
Is one Of the best in the upper part OF
the state. The change has been
wrought as the result Of the work that
has been done during the past two
and a half years. The county, the
townships and private citizens have
co-operated in a liberal, intelligent
and energetic manner, with the result
that hills have been cut down, hollows
have been filled and sand and clay have
been mixed to such an advantage
that the roadbed is something to do
the heart good.
Previous to the commencement OF
this work there was much Of the time
during the fall and winter season when
it was quite task for a pair of good
along the worst parts Of this road
Now the same pair Of mules can take
a ton load along nearly every foot OF
it at a trot. There are places, OF
course, where trotting with such load
would require considerable effort, but
there are very few places where such
trotting Is altogether impracticable
From the standpoint Of the automobil-
ist the road Is almost ideal. 1t Is ad-
mitted that the road from the Chester
line to Chester does not begin to COM
pare with the road from the county
line to Yorkville, yet automobilists are
able to make the trip from Chester to
Yorkville, in considerably less than an
hour. A Chester man came from
Chester to Yorkville last Friday in 55
minutes, and he said he did not do his
best even at that, although he spent
only about one-third Of the time on the
York end Of the trip that he spent on
the Chester end
OF course while some things are bet
ter than others, nothing Is perfect
This Chester road-York's part of it
comes within the rule. Because the
weather has been so dry since the road
was constructed, there has been
but little opportunity for dragging,
and there are some rough places.
There are no bad holes yet, only
rough places, that can easily be
smoothed over with a split log drag,
If the dragging is attended to as soon
as the road gets in proper condition.
But If the road is neglected. it must
necessarily go to pieces in time.

TO DRAIN THE CREEKS.

Messrs. j. C. Wilborn, M. C. Willis
and R. T. Allison went up to Lincoln
ton a few days ago to make a person
al inspection of the progress Of the
drainage work that has been going on
in Catawba and Lincoln counties dur
ing the past two years, and to get
satisfactory idea Of the plan under
which the work is being done
They found the dredge in operation just
town, finishing up the long dig COM
menced at Hickory about two years
ago. and from the pleased people OF
the vicinity got facts and figures that
filled them with enthusiasm.
Mr.. Wilborn has been talking with
The Enquirer about what he saw and
learned, and he gives a comprehensive
idea of the whole sitGation; how the
people proceeded at the beginning
what they have done. and the results
that are already being realized. He
was carried away with what he saw
and predicting untold benefits to the
people of York county If they will only
do likewise, he is impatient to see an
early start, and the more extensive
the scale the start Is made on the bet
ter he thinks it will be for all con-
cerned.
This North Carolina work was COM
menced with a petition from a ma
jority of the land owners interested,
to the legislature asking for the crea-
tion Of a drainage commission, with
authority to assess the lands to be
benefited and to prosecute the work.
There was some opposition, of course,
and no little difficulty in getting the
work under way; but at length an act
was passed creating the commission as
requested, and giving that commission
power to dredge the creeks, condemn
rights of way, and do whatever else
was necessary, preserving to the land
owners, of course, the right to appeal
to the courts and to defend all just
rights that might appear to be infring-
ed
The first move Of the commission af-
ter it got down to business was to ask
the agricultural department at Wash
ington to send down a drainage expert
to give advice. This expert looked
over the situation carefully and finally
made a report in which he recon-
mended that it would be unwise to at
tempt the work for the reason that the
bottoms were too narrow to include
enough acreage that could be benefit
ed to justify the expense. But the
people would not listen to anything
like this and demanded that the COM
mission go forward.
As the next move the commission
caused a survey to be made of all the
land to be affected. In making this
survey, the lands along the route were
divided into four classes, A. b, G and
d. Under class A was included the
widest bottoms that would be most
benefited. The remaining lands af-

Anderson, October IL: Mr.. Guy H.
Norris has just received report
from the Clemson authorities as 10
the result of the test for moisture
made on corn grown by him here,
and gathered and weighed up here
last Friday The report shows that
the yield for the acre has been a frac-
ton more than Ill bushels. The
field measurements and weights or
the corn taken here at the time 1t was
gathered showed a little more than
113 bushels, but this is reduced slight
ly by the percentage OF moisture
found in the corn above the amount
allowed under the rules Of the United
States department Of agriculture. The
test made at Clemson showed that
the corn contained IL 42-100 per cent
of moisture, l and S2-100 per cent in
excess of the amount allowed, which
is 10 6-10 per cent. The fraction
over Ill bushels shown for the yield
after the test just made. is small, but
worth mentioning. With the report
just forwarded here to Mr.. Norris,
experts who superintended the gath
ering and measuring of the corn here
complimented him for the big yield
made on the acre, saying that this
was a very unusually fine yield OF
corn.
