The bell worm is the larva of a
moth, and is only very distantly re-

to the large natural group of beetles.
The worm when first hatched is very

less. farmer can insure the crop OF
the coming season against injury
by the pest with comparatively little
trouble and expense. The action that
should be taken wherever injury has
occurred this year is to pick the
cotton as quickly rs jOssible and
thereafter to plOw and
harrow the fields. This work will
result in the destruction OF the i'm
mtaure stages OF the worm which
have passed just beneath the sur
face of the soil. In addition TO the
effect in destroying the insect the
plowing and narrowing of the fields
will have very great value in the
way of preparing for the crop Of
the following season.

worm which are applicable In differ
