TOO MUCH RAIN
 FOR COTTON CROP
Weekly Letter Issued By Local Firm Sams Up General Condition Oi
 Crops In This Territory.

A rep2rt of the general conditions in the following letter issued by the s. c. Alexander Cotton Company. which is issued weekly:
 ''GloIs in ths territory have not made satisfactory progress during the rast few weeks. The weather has been favorable in the man. but too much rain is causing trouble in some localities and many fields are grassy. Outworms have apDeaIed again throughout this and adjoining coun- t'es, and from all accounts are doing serious damage to cotton and corn the present showery weather is very favorable to them.
 s'In our opinion tae crop so far as he have been able to see is poorly developed the plant is small, hardly more than half as, large as it should be at this time and none too we'll supplied with forms. In general way we presume these conditions are the result of a cold, wet spring and late start off, coupled W tn nasty preparation of land by farmers gentr- ally who were naturally anxious to get their crops planted. We predict at the time that this lack of prepara- tion would be felt later on.
 We believe there is still time to make good crop in this section, but pract cally peIfeet weather conditions from now on will be necessary

Government Demonstj ator II. r. Cassell says the common name for this worm is the grassWCTm, and that he has never known them to aprear this early in the year nor in the num- bers as this year. He says they are produced by moth which lays the eggs on the vegetat on, and as soen as the worms hatch or in a day or two afterward they begin to eat. So rapid do they work that whole fields of cotton and corn are literally eaten up before the farmer is aware of their presence.
 The method of fighting the pest is to apply payis-green to the plants, Ihls IS done by mixing the poison with flour and sitting the mixture through a bag made of caeesecloth There was very little paris-g,een m the local market, So that practiael]v nothing could be done until the poison could be ordered. Seven hundred pounds arrived by express Monday and 1000 pounds last night. All blows have been stopped and every available man has been put to work using the poison. Several merchants Who are also interested in individual farms have left their stores and are experimenting the fight aga nst the destroyers.
