Hinds has been in many counties of Alabama during the last few days, and has found the damage done by the worm much greater in some of the counties that did not get poison as quickly as it was gotten here. He urged the planters to be ready with their poison for the next infes- tation of cotton worms which is ex- pected within a few days. For ev- cry dollars worth of poison used, more than $10 worth of cotton can be saved, he declared.
