WEEKLY LETTER OF CON-
 MISSIONER JOHN H. PAGE

I have reports this week from farmers asking for information on Ihow to control the Army worm and the Boil worm. To date the reports have all come from the river bottom sections. The Army worm is blue greenish slender worm with black spots and stripes on his back. When moving he "bows" up in the center The damage done is most severe in the late summer, but he is present nearly all summer. There are several generations each year. That is why it is necessary to kill out the early generations now.
 The Army worm is controlled with Paris Green spray. Arsenate of Lead powder may also be used. Mix about one pound of Paris Green with one pound of low grade flour; this should spray one acre. Five pounds of the Arsenate of Lead should cover an acre. Two rows can be dusted at one trip across the field by balancing two sacks across a mules back.
 The Cotton Boil Worm is some what darker than the Army Worm and is common garden pest. This is the same worm that attacks the ends of the ears of corn as we'll as the bols of cotton. The same rem edy for the Army Worm will control the Boil Worm now. However, rem ember that you can destroy them if you will blow deep this fall.
 The control of these pests is a serious problem to some of us now and we should by all means break the land in the fall, not only for fall blowing and growing winter cover crops. l only mention the fall blow ing because of it's close connection to the control of crop pests. It is our best remedy and in addition is the best method for proper prepara- ton. 1 have a bulletin on the cotton boil worm which will be glad to send you.
 If it rains it will be necessary to apply again the above remedies, and remember that both Paris Green and Arsenate of Lead are deadly poisons. If the wind is blowing tie a handker- chief across your mouth. Do not swallow the dust particles when you clear your throat and wash off the animals that have been carrying the sacks. Do not allow stock to eat where poison has been applied
 The Army Worm may also be des- troyed with mixture of one pound of Paris Green, 50 pounds of wheat bran, the juice of from three or four oranges, and make dough of the mixture with cheap black molasses. Scatter this about in the parts of the field infested with the worm.
 And this fall make your prepara- tions for great deal of fall blowing 1t doesn't matter whether you have crop pests to control or not, we have no means of knowing whether they will reach our farm. The greatest benefits will result in having a win ter cover crop, and in having a good seed bed next year and better soil

The Alabama survey was an attempt
