NEW COTTON AND
 CORN PEST FOUND

The agricultural department of the Iron Mountain IS receiving from various sections of Arkansas reports of damage being don cot ton and corn, by a new pest in the shape of a worm, which has very recently made it's appearance.
 According to the information gleaned from the reports of the farmers, these worms seem to be directing their attention mainly to the foliage of the plants and though the damage Is not especi- ally important" says an official of this department. "The best meth cd of control consists in frequent shallow cultivation of the crops.
 In giving this cultivation the stalks should be shaken and agi- tated as much as possible, which can be done by attaching long singletree or stick, or peice of brush to a blow so as to have 1t extend well over the row and, where the worms are shaken to the ground in this way, many of them are killed by the intense heat. Where the damage IS se- we're poisoning should be restored to.
 The poisons most commonly us cd are arsenate of lead and paris green. The best method of using these poisons is to dust them on the plants in the following way: Saw piece of plank or a pole as long as the rows are wide and at tach to each end q small bag made of two thicknesses of cheese cloth filled with poison and let a man on horseback take the pole in front of him and pass down the rows at a trot. The poison will thus sift through the bag and deposit a fine dust on the foliage.
 Paris green can also be used as a spray and for this purpose is us ed in the proportion of eight ounces to fifty gallons of water. These poisons are effective of course only against insects that prey on the plant foliage. Ga Zette.

mulch of dust on the surface of the ground to check evaportation. This mulch can be obtained only by cultivation.
 When cotton is laid by too early rains later on invariably cause q coat of grass and weeds to spring up. This will be very trouble some in picking the cotton and will stock the field with seed of noxious vegetation to give the farmer extra work next year.
 Continued cultivation at ire quent intervals Is one of the most effective checks yet discovered against predaceous insects, parti- eularly the boil Weeyil and boil worm. The worms passing from one part of the stalk to another and the punctured squares con- taining the larvae of the Weeyil are shaken in great numbers from the stalks and the insects perish on the intensely heated ground.
 All cultivation from now on should be very shallow to avoid injury to the roots of the plants. The Planet Jr, Cultiyator, with small buzzard wing sweeps attach ed to the foot pieces, is a very sat isfactory implement for giving thorough shallow cultivation. Some of the smaller spring tooth cultivators that are narrow enough to pass easily between the rows can also be used conveniently and effectively for this purpose. If neither of these machines IS avail able a substitute can be improyis- ed by attaching a very short skoot- CT or bull tongue blow and 2C inch or 2 inch heel sweep to an ordinary sweep stock. Nearly any thing Is preferable to the turning blow or shovel for cultivating cot ton at this stage of its growth. These implements penetrate the ground so deeply as to do irrepair able damage to the plant roots.

A TALE OF TWO SUITS

Conway, July 22. Mrs. Beulah E. Fritz came out victorious over a BatesyNle mercantile company in a case in Circuit Court in which the plaintiffs sought to force her to pay for a tailored suit, ordered as portion of her rousseau when she was married about a year and a half ago. The WeaYer-Dowdy Company filed a suit in a justice of the peace court against Mrs. Fritz, while she was still Miss Beulah Taylor, the summons be- ing served upon her on the eve of her wedding. The case was ap- pealed to the Circuit Court, Mrs. Fritz's defense being that she had never accepted the clothing on ac- count of it's failure to fit properly. Nearly the entire day was con- sumed in the trial of the case to- day, but the jury was out only a few minutes before returning a verdict for the defendant.

Days From Date.

For the information of premium
winners at the recent fair, it seems
to be necessary to state that the So
ciety reserves the privilege of taking
80 days time in which to pay such
premiums. They may be paid soon
er, but inasmuch as there is lot OF
clerical work to attend to in order
to adjust the claims, it may be neces-
sary to apply the rules as set forth in
the regulations, as follows:
There will be no entry fees OH
exhibits in all divisions and 20 per
cent will be deducted from all pre-
miums awarded. All premiums will
be payable by the treasurer within
so days after the exhibition; these
will be paid at his office, and he will
forward any premiums not so paid
in such name as the person entitled

miums awarded will be liable to pro
rata reduction, sufficient to meet
any deficiency that may occur in the
receipts, to meet said premiums and
other expenses"
