Dr. Garrison Issues
 Peuagra Warning

Little Rock, July 7.-Dr. c. w. Garrison, state health officer, has issued warning to the pub lie concerning pellagra. Dr. Joseph Goldberger, of the U. S. public health service, recently in the state, makes the emphatic statement that it is a non -com- municable disease and due solely to improper and unbalanced diet.
 The Arkansas State Board of Health does not hold that it is a communicable disease and the only restriction concerning it is that children affected by the disease shall not attend school for hygenic reasons.
 Dr. Goldberger does not recom- mend medical treatment and claims that all that is necessary to affect a cure is to correct the diet. He advocates large quan- titles of fresh milk, eggs, peas and beans, meat, bread and but ter, with the occasional use of other vegetables, fruits, oranges, lemons, etc.
 With reference to, doctors and medicine companies that adver- tise cures, Dr. Garrison says: None of them have any treat ment that is not known to the medical profession, and the pub- lie is hereby warned, and es- pecially those suffering from pellagra, that no physician or medical company offers more in the way of a curative remedy or prophylactic measure that 8 not set forth in the bulletin issued by the public health ser vice at Washington, written by Dr. Goldberger. Some physi- clans seemingly have good sue cess with one drug while others claim to have no success with the same drug, but are able to cure pellagra with another drug. The experience of the United States Public Health Service and the Arkansas State Board of Health leads to the conclusion that a remedy that is beneficial to one may not necessar- lily be beneficial to another, but he enti ire medi- cal profession is agreed that the proper diet is essential and good results will follow it's correction in almost every case if the diag- nosis is made early and no phy- sician is successful in the treat ment of many cases with the ad- ministration of any drug or drugs unless the diet is correct ed."

Army Worm Coming

Washington, D. C., The pres ence of the fall army worm is reported in southern and central Texas and there is every reason to believe that it will work its way northward as the season ad- vances. Farmers in the line of it's march. therefore, are being warned by specialists in the United States Department of Agriculture to keep a sharp eye upon their crops. especially alfalfa, corn, and the sorghums in order to prevent the pest from getting a start upon them. When they first appear the worms are very small and feed beneath matted grass. etc., but they grow rapidly and suddenly migrate in myriads to the corn or sorghum fields. If the ground between the corn rows is grassy the worms will probab- ly originate there and feed there until partly grown before at tacking the corn. There is danger therefore that before the farmer is aware of their pres ence he will find his corn strip ped to bare stalks and his alfal. ia to bare stems.
 Where close examination of corn field shows the presence of the fall army worm actually attacking the corn, the Depart ment of Agriculture recommends dusting the plants with powder ed arsenate of lead, using from three to five pounds per acre, mixed with two or three times its weight in flour. This precau- tion is, of course, out of the question on forage crops or on corn afterwards to be used for fodder on account of the dan ger of poisoning stock. In such cases a hundred pounds of wheat bran may be mixed with a couple pounds of either Paris green or powdered arsenate of lead, pre- ferably the former, and the whole mass worked into stiff dough by the use of three to four gallons molasses and the juice of half a dozen oranges or lemons added thereto. If this is sown broadcast on the ground where the worms are at work they will feed upon it and be killed. The worms, it has been found, will come to the poison bait from distances of from five to ten inches.
 The habit of the moths of de- scending an inch or two into the ground in order to pass into the pupil state is of great importance in their control. It has been estimated that shallow cultiva- tion will destroy from 50 to 90 per cent of the insects at this time, the efficiency of the measure depending upon the thorOughness with which the work is done. Cultivation of the ground between the rows of corn has been found to destroy nearly all of these pupae, there by preventing the de yelopment of another generation. Ordi- narily. there are from three to four. or even five generations of the fall army worm in the course of year, the damage done in- creasing as each successive gen. eratiOn spreads to the northward.
 When fields are threatened with invasion, but have not as yet become actually infested, a deep furrow should be plowed out around the entire sircumfer- ence of the field. Into this fur row the advancing worms will fall. They may then be killed hxy l lro rrrrs ~r n kao,,., loo- xk~.,

The Cotton Situation


 ports for the months immediate ly ensuing will be greater this year than last.
 The number of bales consumed in the United States for the 10 months ending May 3l, 1914, was 4, 731,6O The number of bales consumed for the 10 months ending May 3l, 1915, was, 4,585, 522. The consumption per month for the first part of the period was less this year than last thru January and in the month of April. The amount consumed this year in February March, and May exceeded the amounts consumed for each of those months last year.
 The tolal visible supply of cot ton as of June llth. 1914, was, 4, 400, 500 bales, and, az of June Il, 1915, 6,224, 454 bales. Of this for 1914. 2,524, 900 bales was American. and for 1915, 1, 467, 454 bales, In 1914 the total stock in Great Britain was l,05O, 900 bales. and in 1915, 1880, GOO bales. On the Continent in 1914 the total stocks were 899, GOO bales. and in 1915. l,O44, GOO bales. The estimated stocks in the United States in 1914 were 659, GOO bales, and in 1915, l,53S, 900 bales. In 1914 the Ameri- can cotton ahoat was 267, 900 bales, and in 1915, AT, GOO bales.
 In Liverpool the spot price of middling upland for the season l9l3-14, from October to June did not in any week fall below l3. 82 and did not exceed 15.74. and in New York the price did not fall below l2, 50 and did not rise above l4.50. There were no off cial quotations in New York for August, September, and October, and up to Nov. l6 for the year l9l4-15. In Liverpool the price of spot cotton dropped from l3 cents. Aug. 7th to 9,l6 Nov. l3. On Nov. 2l, 1914, the Liverpool spot price of middling upland was S.S8. It rose steadily to Jan. 22, when it was To- 20. In April it ranged from ll.l2 to ll.56; in May from 1928 to 10. P; on June l2 it was l0.74. In New York on Nov. 20 it was 7.6O. It rose until Jan. l6, when it was 8.7O. It remained fairly steady until May 20. when it was 9.55. In April it ranged from 10 to l0.5O. Since May l it has ranged from 9.70 to 9.85.
 During the last few weeks the principle factors affecting the Liverpool cotton market seem to be the following:
 (a) Abundant stocks at Liver pool and elsewhere.
 (b) Deliveries at Liverpool h excess of speculative contracts.
 (c) The lack of full revival of normal trade conditions in manu- factured products.
 (d) The good conditions re- ported for the new cotton crop in the South. (The cotton acre. age has not yet been reported
 Minor factors which seem to have affected the Liverpool and other cotton markets are:
 (a) Uncertainty as to the duration of present conditions.
 (b) The quantity and disposi- ton of prize cotton in England.
 (c)The entrance of Italy into the war.
 (d) The disturbance of ship ping both of belligerent and neu- tral countries.
 The domestic consumption of cotton has been about as much as was anticipated, the export of cotton much larger than was

AND NATURAL
HISTORY SURVEY

During the past two years. as DUR
ing the two preceding years, no new
work has been undertaken excepting
the investigation of the water re-
sources of the state, carried on IN
cooperation with the United States
Geological Survey. The United States
Geological Survey, WAS ready TO CO.
operafs in such investigation appro-
priatfng from the United States
Treasury an amount equal to that
state treasury. In the four years
ending June 80, 1915, $4,000 will have
been expended on that work; four
thousand dollars from the state of
Connecticut, and four thousand dol
lars from the United States It has
seemed especially desirable to prose-
cute that investigation at present,
since, in recent years. most of the
large towns in Connecticut have been
threatened with water famine The
necessary consumption of water for
domestic and misunderstanding purposes
is rapidly increasing. The available
supply of coal tends to exhaustion, and
the diminished supply must mean in
the near future g. considerable IN
crease in cost. It is evident, then.
that in the near future. our nanufae-
turing industries must be forced to
depend more largely upon water pow
er. It is believed, also, that irr1ga-
| ton is destined to play a, large part
| in the future development of the
| agriculture OF the state Of Connecti-
cut. The average rainfall in Con-
necticut is, indeed, sufficient for
| agricultural drolzth, and these losses
might be averted by judicious provis-
/ ion for iEFigation. In view of the
/ growing demands upon our water
supply there is evident need of a
| thorough study of that supply. This
must include gaging of the
| streams for a, few years, the con-
| struction of profi1es of the streams,
| and also the study of the distribution
| of underground water.
