SUPREME COURT LAGs BEHIND.

Washington, May 27.-While this is
an opinion day for the United States
Supreme Court, and several decisions
In important cases will probably be
handed down, the tribunal is very
much behind with it's business. One
hundred and one cases submitted on
argument or brief are now under ad-
visement by the Supreme Court. II
is possible that two more decision
days will be held on June 8 and June
10, after which the court will adjourn
for the summer, leaving a number of
cases still undecided. OF the cases
now before the court, forty-three are
two-cent rate cases, which involve the
question of conflict of powers between
the federal and state government in
regulating commerce.

therefore It is always safer for Mis-
sissippi farmers to send some of the
insects when found to the Entomolo
gist. Agricultural College, Miss, for
Identification.
Methods Of Controlling.
In the case of hay crops 1t will usu-
/ ally pay to begin using the moving
machines as soon as the worms are
noticed. The moving will destroy
many of the insects, and, as the hay
becomes dry, it is not relished by
them so that usually most of the crop
is saved.
In gardens and even with corn and
other field crops, hand picking will
usually pay. Prof Morgan, now of
the Tennessee Experiment Station,
states "As these caterpillars feed in
the cool of the morning and evening.
they may be found on the outer leaves
of the corn and with a stick and
wide mouthed vessel great quantities
can be hand picked. Two or three
pickings will relieve a field almost en-
tirely, and will be the means of saw
ing the crop"
Arsenate of lead, Paris green, or
other arsenical poisons may be used
either in the powdered form or mix
ed with water. When Paris green is
used In the dry form, it should be
mixed with about fifty parts of -four,
lime, or road dust. When mixed with
water. one pound of Paris green may
be mixed with $50 gallons of water
and about two pounds Of lime should
always be added to prevent the Paris
green from burning the foliage. Ar
senate Of lead can be applied in the
same manner, but two pounds of this
substance should be used instead Of
one of Paris green. Care must be TAX

food for man or beast until one or
two good rains have washed the pois-

the annual report of DR.. H. L. Barnes,
Superintendent of the Rhode Island

grasses, and also to alfalfa and Other
leguminous crops. Practically the
only measure that the farmers used
was to go into the fields at once with
moving machines and cut the grass
and alfalfa before the worms" could
eat 1t up.
Life History and Appearance.
There are, beyond doubt, at least
three and possible as many as six gen
erations of these insects each year in
Mississippi. The eggs are laid in
masses upon the food plants, and are
seldom noticed. They hatch into
worms" or larvae and these usually
go unnoticed except when very num-
erous and, even then, until they are
nearly grown. At that time they are
about an inch and quarter long Il;
they vary in color from light brown
to black, but always have stripes run
ming lengthwise. These stripes vary
in color, but are usually yellow. A
very few hairs are always present,
and small black spots can always be
seen If the worms" are closely ex-
amined. When full grown these
worms" go into the ground and trans
form to the pupa stage just below the
surface of the ground. In about one
week the adult moths appear. These
moths fly at night. They have dull
grayish-brown fore wings and white
hind wings.
Food Plants.
These insects seem to prefer grass
plants and small grains, such as oats
and rye. Next to these. they seem to
prefer corn, especially when 1t is
young. However, they will attack al
most any succulent plant. In 1907
they did much damage to alfalfa in
the Northeast prairie section of the
state. They are reported also as a
pest of cotton and garden vegetables.
Wnen VIII the worms" appear
Again?
No one can tell just when these in
sects are likely to appear again in
destructive numbers. The three in
vasions that we have recorded in this
state are years apart and in widely
separated parts Of the state. This
has usually been the history of the in.
sect in other states, however, occa-
sionally it is a serious pest during
two successive years. Everyone
should be on the lookout for these in
sects and be prepared to fight their
first appearance. There are other in
sects that may be mistaken for them.

DANGERS OF SPLITTING.

"Ninety-five per cent of our con-
sumption" says the North Carolina
State Board of Health, comes from

consumptive, but also from people
who are apparently healthy. Spit is
frequently laden with deadly disease
germs, particularly that of consump-

when one coughs,spits, or sneezes,
a great multitude of tiny drops of
spittle are violently expelled from the
mouth and nose. The largest of these
drops can be readily seen. A large
number of smaller droplets can be
found if mirror or piece of glass is
held before the face when coughing

During the past few weeks there
has been serious outbreak of the
Southern Grass Worm or Southern
Army Worm. along the Gulf Coast in
Mississippi. Correspondents from
jackson, Harrison and George coun-
ties have sent these insects to us. 1t
is quite likely that the insects also
appeared in other counties. In the
region where these insects appeared
in large numbers they have destroyed
almost all of the corn and oats and
have seriously damaged sugar cane
and other crops. This insect should
not be confused with the cotton worm
or cotton army worm that was so
abundant during the summer and fall
of 1911, nor with the true army worm
of the Northern and Western states.
