NEW COTTON AND
CORN PEST FOUND
The agricultural department of
the Iron Mountain is receiving
from various sections of Arkansas
reports of damage being don cot
ton and corn, by a new pest in the
shape of a worm, which has very
recently made its appearance.
According to the information
gleaned from the reports of the
farmers, these worms seem to be
directing their attention mainly to
the foliage of the plants and,
“though the damage is not especi- i
ally important.” says an official of
this department. “The best meth
od of control consists in frequent,
shallow cultivation of the crops. !
“In giving this cultivation the !
stalks should be shaken and agi
tated as much as possible, which
can be done by attaching long
singletree or a stick, or pcice of
brush to a plow so as to have it
extend well over the row and,
where the worms are shaken to
the ground in this way, many of
them are killed by the intense
heat. Where the damage is se
vere poisoning should be restored
to.
The poisons most commonly us
ed are arsenate of lead and paris
green. The best method of using
these poisons is to dust them on
the plants in the following way:
Saw a piece of plank or a pole as
long as the rows are wide and at
tach to each end a small bag made
of two thicknesses of cheese cloth
filled with poison and let a man on
horseback take the pole in front of
him and pass down the rows at a
trot. The poison will thus sift
through the bag and deposit a fine
dust on the foliage.
“Paris green can also be used as
a spray and for this purpose is us
ed in the proportion of eight
ounces to fifty gallons of water.
These poisons are effective of
course only against insects that
prey on the plant foliage.”—Ga
zette.
KEEP CULTIVATING THE CROP
The time is not far distant
some farmers will begin to lay by
cotton. Many of them lay by en
tirely to early every year. There
are several very important reasons
why the cultivation of the cotton
should be continued till late in the
season.
The crop is likely to have to un
dergo a period of dry weather be
forefull maturity is reached. Dur
ing this period the crops will suf
fer unless there is a sufficiency of
moisture in the soil to supply the
demande of the heavily fruting
plants; and an adequate supply of
soil moisture in dry weather can
be maintained only by keeping a
mulch of dust on the surface of
the ground to check evaporation.
This mulch can be obtained only
by cultivation.
When cotton is laid by too early
rains later on invariably cause a
coat of grass and weeds to spring
up. This will be very trouble
some in picking the cotion and
will stock the field with seed of
noxious vegetation to give the
farmer extra work next year.
Continued cultivation at fre
quent intervals is one of the most
effective checks yet discovered
against predaceous insects, parti
cularly the boll weevil and boll
worm. The worms passing from
one part of the stalk to another
and the punctured squares con
taining the larvae of the weevil
are shaken in great numbers from
the stalks and the insects perish
on the intensely heated ground.
All cultivation from now on
should be very shallow to avoid
injury to the roots of the plants.
The Planet Jr. Cultivator, with
small buzzard wing sweeps attach
ed to the foot pieces, is a very sat
isfactory implement for giving
thorough shallow cultivation.
Some of the smaller spring tooth
cultivators that are narrow
enough to pass easily between the
rows can also he used conveniently
and effectively for this purpose. If
neither of these machines is avail
able a substitute can be improvis
ed by attaching a very short shoot
er or bull tongue plow and a 2C
inch or 22 inch heel sweep to an
ordinary sweep stock. Nearly any
thing is preferable to the turning
plow or shovel for cultivating cot
ton at this stage of its growth.
These implements penetrate the
ground so deeply as to do irrepair
able damage to the plant roots.

A TALE OF TWO SUITS
Conway, July 22.—Mrs. Beulah
E. Fritz came out victorious over
a Batesv?He mercantile company
in a case in Circuit Court in which
the plaintiffs sought to force her
to pay for a tailored suit, ordered
as a portion of her trousseau when
she was married about a year and
a half ago. The Weaver-Dowdy
Company filed a suit in a justice
| of the peace court against Mrs.
! Fritz, while she was still Miss
I Beulah Taylor, the summons be-j
' ing served upon her on the eve of
her wedding. The case was ap
pealed to the Circuit Court, Mrs.1
Fritz’s defense being that she had
never accepted the clothing on ac
count of its failure to lit properly.
Nearly the entire day was con-'
sumed in the trial of the case to- j
day, but the jury was out only a
few minutes before returning a
verdict for the defendant.
