COTTON PLANT ENEMY
Army Worm Attracting Much At
tention in South.
Pest 10 Not Native Of United States
Nor Has II Been Able to Establish
Itself Here Permanently
Cannot Stand Cold.

The cotton worm. or army worm al
It frequently is called in the South, IL
now attracting considerable attention
throughout the cotton belt. This in
sect has been known as an enemy o.
cotton in the United States for ovel
a century. but for many years 1t wal
80 scarce that recent outbreaks have
caused considerable comment. Before
the appearance of the boil weevil Il
was one OF the two principal enemies
of cotton in this country, the othel
being the bollworm.
The cotton worm varies greatly II
size and coloration at different peri
DDS, but the form generally seen may
be described as follows: Length. about
IN inches; upper surface with
broad brownish or perfectly black
stripe. Down the center Of the stripe
Is a fine yellowish line and similar
lines bound the black area on either
side. Each segment bears four black
dots upon its upper surface and four
smaller ones on either side.
This pest is not a native Of the Unit
ed States, nor has 1t been able to
establish itself here permanently
owing to the fact that 1t cannot with
stand the cold Of our winters. Each
year a fresh invasion Of parent moths
from Central or South America must
occur II the cotton worm Is to be
nresent that season. The first moths
usually reach the region OF Browns,
Vile. Tex, about April. Here they
atari a new generation In the cotton
fields and this and succeeding genera
lions rapidly spread farther north.
The damage done to the cotton plant
nv the larvae or cotton worms,
Matching from eggs laid by the moths,
ia often very great. unless efficient
control measures are adopted and in
telligently carried out. The leaves are
attacked first and may be totally de-
stroyed. In cases where the worms
are very abundant the bolls, squares.
and even the twigs may be attacked
after the leaves have been destroyed
Nv far the best method Of control
IA the use OF powdered arsenate OF
lead. This substance does not injure
the foliage. as paris green does under
some circumstances. and adheres to
the leaves In spite Of considerable
rainfall. II should be busted over the
plants, preferably in the early morn
ing. while the dew is on and little
wind ia stirring, at the rate OF about
two pounds per acre. Paris green may
no used II arsenate OF lead Is not avail
able. To lessen the danger OF burn
ing the plants airslaked lime and
paris green should be used in equal
parts. Whether the lime Is used OF
not -four should be used with the paris
green in equal parts. This will assist
greatly In causing the poison to adhere
to the foliage Either OF the poisons
mentioned may be applied very salts
factorily by sitting them from cloth
Jacks at the ends Of poles.
