mcnt OF Agriculture)
Diminutive mites, known as red
spiders, which gather on cotton leaves
in multitudes and suck the plant
juices, constitute one Of the little un-
'ers:ood but serious pests in cotton
owing regions of the southeastern
states, according to a recent study
mace by the United States department
OF agriculture. Because OF the small
ness of the insects and the effects Of
their attacks on the appearance of the
leaves, many planters believe that the
spider-infested fields are suffering from
rust. The removal Of the juices from
the leaves causes, them first to redden
or turn rusty yellow over the entire
surface, and ultimately to dry up and
drop AS q result of the loss Of foliage,
the plants shed many bolls end the
yields from the affected fields are
therefore mater lily reduced.
To prevent injury to cotton from
this cause the department of agricul-
ture, recommends, M Farmers Bulle-

struction Of all weeds around the farm

IDEAL SPRAYING ourF 1T FOR LARGE AREA.

In 1912, for example, two-ffths of the
cotton crop in South Carolina was
damaged by this insect.
The great mass Of red spiders pass
the winter on wild plants. With the
first warm days in the spring they be-
gin to multiply with great rapidity
and it becomes necessary for them to
seek new feeding grounds. They at
tack whatever weeds and garden plants
they may meet and ultimately find their
way into the cotton fields. In the late
fall when cotton is no longer available
for them, the spiders migrate again to
the wild plants which are frequently
found in the borders of fields, and 1t
has been ascertained that in many
cases they infest violet beds. Alto
gether, this insect has been found
breeding on nearly 200 species of
plants, the most common Of which are
cotton, cultivated violet, SOW thistle,
hollyhock, dahlia, garden beans, corn,
tomato, onion, carnation, sweet pea,
hedge nettle, nasturtium, morning
glory, clover, wild vetch, ironweed
Jerusalem oak, wild geranium, evening
primrose, pokeweed and strawberry.
Immunity From Pest.
Many Of these plants are useless
weeds which can we'll be destroyed.
Where this has been done in and
around cotton fields, it has been found
in several instances that complete i'm
munity from the pest has been en-
joyed the following season. Many
cases of cotton infestation, from the
red spider, however, can be traced to
cultivated plants in nearby dooryards.
Such plants should be examined close
ly and sprayed as soon as they show
any signs Of infeStation. The govern
ment investigators have tested large
number of spray combinations in their
work against the red spider and have
found that the following are thorough
ly satisfactory:
(D potassium sulphide, Il ounce to 2
gallons of water); (2) lime-sulphur
homemade or commercially; 90 kero-
sene emulsion iprepared according to
usual formula); (4) flour-paste 'solu-
ton Il gallon of stock paste to u gal.
ions of water). ANY one Of these
sprays if properly applied will kill all
the mites, but a second spraying one
week later is necessary to kill the in
sects that were in the egg stage at the
first spraying. 1t is also of the utmost
Importance to remember that the mite
spends its life on the under side Of the
leaves. The entire under side of every
leaf Of an infested plant, therefore,
must be hit by the spray in order to
accomplish the desired result. AR
senical sprays are Of no use against
this pest.

HORSES DO NOT SWEAT
Unfortunate Condition Renders
Many Animals Useless.
Hot Sun Beating Upon Skin Prevents
Glands From Performing Func-
tions-Give Water and Rest
Quite Frequently.
Ry W. H. DALRYMPLE. Louisiana En-
pertinent StatiOnl

By W. H. DALRYMPLE, Louisiana E1-
pertinent Station.)
The veterinary department receives
frequent inquiries, during the summer
months, concerning horses that do not
seem to sweat when at work, either in
the field or on the road. This is an
unfortunate condition which renders
many good animal more or less use
less while it lasts, but one that little
can be done for, so long as the cause
is present, viz, the rays Of the hot
summer sun beating down upon the e2-
posed skin.
OF course oil horses do not suffer in
this way, and it is probable, we think,
that native-born animals are much
less susceptible than those from other
sections of the country.
Authorities name this condition
Hthermotaxic neuroSiS," which means,
when translated, interference with the
heat-regulating apparatus through
temporary paralysis of the nerve sup
ply to the sweat glands. Or, in other
words. the hot sun beating upon the
skin prevents the sweat glands from
performing their function, resulting in
the dryness of the skin. On the other
hand, it may be observed, in the same
animal. that the parts Of the skin pro-
tected by the harness will be found to
be moist from perspiration; and on
cloudy days, when the sun has been
obscured, sweating may be found more
or less general.
The sun. therefore, is the active
cause of this condition; and while 1t
may be possible to relieve 1t, tempor-
ariIy. by treatment, as soon as the ami
NAL is again exposed to the heat rays
OF the sun, 1t Is liable to recurrence
of the trouble.
Knowing the cause Of this condition,
therefore, the most reasonable method
Of treatment, In animals that are Dm-
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1916-12-20

PEELED to work, would be to use them
as carefully as possible; water them
frequently and permit them to rest at
frequent intervals during the hot
weather.
The rapid breathing seen in this
condition is due to the lungs having
to do double work on account of the
inactivity of the skin and not heing
able to throw off its usual share Of
moisture.
AS soon as the cooler weather sets
in the trouble generally ceases.
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1916-12-20

during the winter and early spring, the
spraying Of certain cultivated plants
around dwellings, the. maintenance Of
finely pulverized surface soil in the
cotton field, the destruction by plow-
ing up and burning of plants or areas
that become infested early, and finally
spraying if the infestation becomes
general.
The red spider may ravage cotton
fields at any time from the middle Of
June to the middle of September. Ger
tain fields are infested while others in
the immediate vicinity remain quite
free. The total extent Of the injury,
however, is likely to be very serious.

WORK HORSES NEED WATER
While Animal Is Working Water In
Small Quantities VIII Not Hurt
Him In Any Way.

Water your horse as often as possl-
BILE. So long as a horse is working,
water in small quantities will not hurt
him. But let him drink only a few
swallows If he is going to stand still.
Do not fall to water him at night
after he has eaten his hay.

comes the canned music of the merry
go-round and the spielers' shouts.

ing attention are those of the Perry
dale and Dallas public schools, the
Polk County Fruitgrowers' Associa-
ton, William Lee, The Sterling Furni-
ture Company, John Uglow, Fred B.
