Cotton Worm
Is Spreading
Advised To Poison Pest On
Fruiting Cotton

A. & M. College, Miss. Aug. IL.
Reports reaching the State Plant
Board office today indicate that
the cotton worm now causing so
much uneasiness throughout the
South is present in injurious
numbers in at least 21 counties
in Mississippi. From many Of.
the reports received it seems
that some Of the planters waited
too late to apply the poison and
are not getting control of the
worms. According to R. w.
Harmed, State Entomologist,
best results are obtained when
the worms first appear and are
still very small, as they are,
more easily poisoned at that
stage. Growers that are poison
ing the weevil with calcium
arsenate dust need have no fear
Of the worms.
Whether it will pay to poison
the worms or not is a question
which each grower should de-
eide for himself. Where cotton
is still growing and fruiting
plenty of blooms and young
boIls the poison should be ap-
piled without delay. But in
fields heavily infested with the
boil weeviI. with no bloom show
ing and most of the young bolls
punctured, it is very doubtful
if it will pay. In very rank cot
ton. especially where a consider
able amount Of boil rot is pres
ent, stripping Of the leaves BY
the worms may stop the rotting
and poisoning would be of 40
benefit.
A shortage of calcium arsen-
ate and lead arsenate, the pois-
ons most generally used, is also
causing uneasiness in some Sec
tions. Where these poisons can
not be obtained, growers may
be able to secure Paris Green,
London Purple, magnesium ar
senate, or zinc arsenite, which
may be used instead. An equal
weight Of lime should be mixed
with most of these to avoid
burning the plants. More spe-
cific directions about using these
poisons or other information
about controlling the cotton
worm may be secured BY writ
ing the Entomologist, State
Plant Board. A. & M. College,

A new departure in the sphere
of "Woman's Work" in the

but it was not until few weeks
ago that this was really pushed,
and the first meeting held at

Result Of the
Primary tuesday
Many Surprises Expressed as the
Returns Come in

The primary election Tuesday
went off quietly with a vote not
nearly so large as was expected.
Many voters expressed surprise
as the vote began to come in,
the greatest Of these, perhaps,
was the run away in this district
wherein Hon. jeff. Busby went
in for congress over three op-
ponents,
We give this week the near
est correct figures we are able
to obtain. The official figures
are slow in coming in and some
errors have perhaps crept in be-
cause Of taking returns over the
telephone. In the county, we
give such figures as we are able
toget with the total official figures
without correcting the precinct
returns.
The vote for senator so far re-
ported stands as follows:

In the congressional race the

AS to the arrest of s. M.

the aforesaid reporter has de-

say that these are two of the

is West Point trying to grasp

IIf the great moving day should

Now, the striking employees

RED SPIDERS INJURE
MANY LA. PRODUCTS

Various kinds Of red spiders or mites
cause injury to the foliage of many
garden, field and fruit crops, ornamen-.
tai plants. vines, shrubs, and trees
Mite injury to the fruit of citrus trees
is also common, causing what is known
as russeting. The foliage of beans, cot
ton, clover, strawberry, violet, sweet
peas, privet, and elm is often injured
by red spiders in Louisiana.
Red spiders or mites are more close
ly related to the cattle tick than to the
true spiders. They are all Of minute
size. Those that feed on foliage are
usually red in color while others are
nearly colorless. They injure the
plants by sucking the plant juices, and
leaves injured by them often become
SO thickly dotted with the light spots re-
lsulting from feediny that the whole
leaf becomes of white or yellowish
color. Often there is present consid-
cradle amount of web, consisting of
fine silk threads spun by the mites.
Red spiders only become destruct-
lively abundant when certain conditions.
exist, according to Thos. H. Jones, en-
Itomologist, Experiment Stations, Louis
lana State University. Dry weather is
considered favorable for them, as we'll
as weather conditions that hold their
natural enemies in check. Injury is
more severe when plants are grown in
greenhouses or shaded places outdoors.
he says.
Sulphur in some form and used ell
Their as liquid or a dust, is generally
recognized as the best material to use
for killing red spiders" continues Mr.
Jones. TO obtain best results spray
ing or busting machine should be US
ed that will apply the material evenly
to the surfaces on which the red spi-
ders occur. On leaves they usually oc--
cur on the undersides. Lime-sulphur.
sulphide divers Of suIphur)
and a fine sulphur paste are recon-
mended for use in spraying, and for
busting fine sulphur powder is recon-
mended. Potassium sui hide is usual
ly used at the rate of about an ounce to-
two gallons of water. Lime sulphur
and the fine sulphur pastes and pow
ders are manufactured by different
firms and in using them the directions
accompanying the material should be-
followed. Spraying or busting, to give
most satisfactory results, should be be-
gun before the red spiders become
abundant. Because the ages of red
spiders are more resistant to insecti--
cides than the other stages it is advis--
able to make a second application of
he material a week after the first.

READ THIS AND PONDER

This is clipping from The Shreve-
port Times, Thursdays issue:
Ike Epstein, alleged king of the
bootleggers, was arrested 'red-handed'
yesterday morning as he was unloading
three cases of whiskey from an inbound
L. R. and N. train, according to Sher-
if I. R. Hughes. Epstein was loading
the whiskey into his own automobile
when the Sheriff came forward anc
Offered to help him with the cargo.
What have you there, young man?"
asked the officer.
Guess you ought to know" answer
ed Epstein weakly, it is said.
In the district court a few hours
later Epstein entered a plea of guilty
to charge Of transporting intoxicat-
ing liquors in violation of the state pro-
hibition laws, and was fined $500 and
costs. The fine was promptly paid.
Epstein. according to the officers,
has conducted bootIegging business
for several months, handling only the
best grade of bottled in bond whiskey,
annd catering to an exclusive Glen
tele."
Epstein was arrested several weeks
age by officers from the police depart
ment, when, it is alleged a quantity
of whiskey was found in his rooms, but
was discharged by the city court.
