THE COTTON' WORM.
BY PROF. CIIA9. V. RILEY.
Gentlemen of the National Agricultu
ral Congress :
It was my pjpasurc, wpll nigh a year
ago, to be with you at v’our organiza
tion in the city from which I hail.—
Few things were characteristic of that
reunion of the friends of agriculture
from different parts or our broad land,
than the large representation from
the South, and the mutual good will
and cordial fellowship which reigned
on all sides. There was mauifest a
a due appreciation ol science in the
honor paid to one who did much
to make us masters of the elements,
ami whom we all sorrow for as having
since left U9 for that world which
know no sectional strife nor brother
ly feud. There was also manifested a
strong desiie to profit by one another’s
experiences, and it is for these reasons
that I am led to offer, to the members
from the South, a suggestion which
may prove of little service, per contra,
of the utmost value.
I gave you last year some idea of the
immense sums which farmers of this
country loose by insect depredation^,
aud it is unnecessary here to enlarge
upon this subject. You, as cotton
growers, arc well aware of these rav
ages, for a single fortnight iast sum

remedies for the ravages ; but in the
.South, no such officers yet exisL You
are, in consequence, entirely at the
mercy of this appaicnily insignificant
worm ; and it is a matter of surprise
that, where the losses arc so heavy,
some efforts have not been made to
get the mastery over the pest by dele
gating some individual or commission
to make thorough investigations and
experiments uj>on it. Up to the pres
ent time no really practicable remedy
has beeu discovered. Hand-picking
is not wholesale enough. Fires, lights
and traps containing attractive but
poisonous sweets, together '.villi other
devices, intended to allure aud des
troy the parent moths, aie ot little use,
except where they can lie generally
emolayed throughout whole districts—
and this implies an amount of intelli

community. Carbolic soap has
failed to fulfill the hopes and prophe
of its advocates. Now, it Ua>
never been my fortune to experiment
iu a cotton field, but from my experi
ence with insecticides in other fields. I
feel quite assured that by a proper use
T’aris grecu the cotton worm may
mastered.
In the so-called North-western
States, as you are doubtless aw
have been sorely troubled, during the
(»ast decade, by tin; Colorado Fotato-
beetle (Doruphoru ro line at a), an in-
•t which affect the potnto very much
the same way as the cotton w
affects the cotton plant: hut from
which it is not likely that you of the
South will ever suffer. Wo manage to
tibduc aud defy it by the proper

xperiments tm other lcaf-devourin,
worms, many of them belonging t
the same family as your cotton worm
I am satisfied {hat this last will sue
umb to the mixture I propose eve
more readily than does the potato-
beetle.
Paris green, or Schecle'ft groen,
tains n varied proportion ot nrsenious
acid, and is a deadly poison : but the
manner in which it may he used to
counteract the cotton-worm, renders
t perfectly harmless. If the ;
pure, which can generally be ascertain
ed by the brightness and intensity
the color, it may bo mixed with 30
f arts ot flour, plaster, slacked lime, oi
ashes, and still be thoroughly effectual,
The least possible dusting of this mix

of destroying ali ‘he worms upon then),
without the least injury to the plant
themselves. The green should neve
cost more than twenty-five cents pc
pound, at wholesale, and thirty pounds
of the mixture will suffice for several
acres. It is best du<ted on to the plants
early in the morning while they
moist with dew. It may be dusted in
various manners, and some person*
lighting the potato-beetle, have found
an old sleazy sack, such as those used
fi>r table salt, to do good service, when
attached to the end of a stick. It is
most *afcly applied, however by aid <
a perforated tin box attached to tf
end of a stick three or four feet long,
Such a box can be made of any desira

suffices, and by taking the handle e
the dust-box in the left band, and thei
tapping the box with another stick
held in the right hand, one can walk
rapidly along the rows and regulate
the amount sifted. The green cannot
well be mixed with the flour or plaster
except by the aid ot the mil!, and it U
for thi* reason that those who mix iu
large quantities have the advantage.
It is mo*t effectual when mixed with
floor, though plaster has the merit of
cheapness. Belielving firmly that
thU mixture wc have a cheap and
available antidote to the cotton-worm
plague, I am anxious to give the s
ge*lion as wide a circulation as j
sfble, in order that it raav lie thorough
ly tried and reported on the coining
summer, and I will conclude this short
paper with the natural history of the
cotton worm very much as ■
the second report on the Elimology of
Missouri
The cotton -worm (A nomis Tylina)
was first scientifically described by Mr.
Thomas Say. in the* year lf*27. Ac
cording to Dr. D. L. Phaies. of Wood
ville, Mias., it destroyed, at a low esti
mate, 200 tons of cotton in the Balia*
mas as long ago as 1788 ; while in
Georgia it completely destroyed the
crops in 1793. According to Dr. Ca
pers its injuries were noticed iu 1800.
and it likewise proved very destructive
in 1824,1825 and 1828. Since the last
date, as we may learn from old vol
ume! % of the American Farmer, of Bal
timore. Marylaud, from the Patent
Office Rej>ort". and the writings of
Towuend Glover, of the Department
of Agriculture, it has done more or less
lamage to the crop almost annually
some part or other of the cottou-
growing district. As with the real
grass-feeding aroy-worm of the Mid
lie States, swarms in particular years
to such an extent as to utterly rum
the crop while in other years it is
jarcely noticed. This # fact has
led many to infer that there is a stated
periodicity iu its returns iu such im
mense uumhcis ; but the uatural his
tory of the werm confutes such an idea
while the records give uo foundation
for the inference. The suddeu in
crease ot this as of other species of
noxious insect*, depend on climatic, as
other equally po’eut iuflueuces.
The egg, ’accordiug to Dr. Pharos
shapeiK‘precisely like :i scull-can.
with rows of pin heads from base to
:»pex as thickly set as possible.” aj>-
pearitig as if moulded iu a deep saucer.
These eggs are of a transluceut green
color, are deposited upon the un
side of the leaves, and from their
small size ate naturally difficult of de
tection. Each female deposits from
400 to OOO, and according to the late
Thomas Affleck, of Braliam, Texas,
they hatch two days after being depos
ited, if the weather he moist and warm.
The worms at first feed upou the par-
nchvma, or soft flesh, parts of the
leaves but afteiward devour indiffer
ently, not only any portion of the
leaves, but also the 'blossom-bud and
blossom, together with the calyx leaves
at the base of the boll, thus causing
the lobes which hold the cotton to fail
entirely back and allow the cotton to
drop out at the slightest touch. While
young these worms readily let them
selves down dy a web, when disturbed
but when older they make less use of
the web, and jerk themselves away to
considerable distance when sudden-
V touched. They cast tlieir skins at
five successive periods, ami cotne to
their growth in the incredibly short
pace of fifteen or twenty days. Mr.
Affleck e ven states that 'they usually
nter thechrisalisstateou the eleventh
day after hatching ; but I incline to
believe that, such a larval existence is
extremely exceptional, and the length
ol time required for thehi to mature
will not only differ in different indi-
iduals of the same brood, but will
ary with the state of the atmos
phere.
I have upon several occasions receiv
ed full-grown specimens of this worm,
and they differ materially, both in
depthof shade coloration and markings
deed be almost all the larva- of
moths belonging to the same (Xoctn-
ale) family. The most common color
is light green, though they arc fre
quently quite dark with a purplish line
at the sides, and with black backs.
Whether light or dark colored, how
ever, they arc more or less distinctly
marked with pale longitudinal lines
and black spots, as in the above lig-
Mr. Myman, in his Cotton Culture,
says of this insect: “The first moths
that visit a crop deposit their eggs
and die. These eggs in ten day* be
come little worms, which fall to eating
the leaf on which they are hatched,
and as they grow, consume the plant
past to another. But age comes
apace, with these ephemeral crea-
s; the worm presently grows
rv of devouring, selects aleaf, rc ’’
himself into a little cocoon and die
Oi course this is a serious mistake to
ay that the worm die*, else how conit
it produce the moth which, as Mr. Ly
himself shows, afterward issues
from the cocoon. It is astonishing to
titul such gross errors creeping into
popular works, hut then, the study
of these contemptible little hugs, even
if they do sometimes totally destroy
the crop. Is ot course beneath the dig-
nity of the man who ran write a work
cotton culture! The truth of the
matter is that, when they have com
pleted their growth, the worms fold
the edge of the leaf aud, after,
lining the Inside with silk, chaugc to
chrysalido, which are at first green,
hut soon acquire a chesnut brown col-
Alter remaining In this state (ii
which, though the insect is inactive, i
yet lull <>f life, and undergoing won
derlul development) from seven t
fourteen days, or even longer, th.
moth escapes, the chrysalis being held
fast within the cocoon hy incans of
several minute hooks with which the
il i? furnished.
The general upper surface is a gold-
t-yt-ilow inclining to buff, with a faint
ivc tint near the outer or posterior
argin. T he front wings are crossed
by more or less distinct, irregular lilac-
colored lines. But the chief charactorist-
g is a dark slate-colored or blank spot
ui the front whig* in which there are
ialer scales forming almost a double-
pupil. while between this spot and the
base of the wings tlie.e is a much
smaller pure white dot. In general
color and in the poritiou of the larger
spot, this moth beurs a remarkable re
semblance lo that of the true Army-
worm of tne Northern and Middle
States.
Mr Affleck, who certainly had
abundant opportunities for observing
llic fact, assured me that this moth
rests in the j-osition show n in figure 3.6.
namely, with the head downwards.
He wrote August 22nd. lfVW: • Th«

ris in his correspondence with myself)

According to the best authority,
there are three different broods of
-.Toms during the year, the first ap
pearing in June or July, and the la-t,
which does tl e most damage, updat
ing in August or September, or even
later. Mr. Lyman, in the little work
already rek-red to. say*: -That natur<
has made no provision by which either
the fly, the worm, the chrysalis on the
eg-'*, survive the winter or exist for
any length of time where the cotton
plant is not a nerennial. ’ liut this i-
-urc-ly an error, which Mr. Lyma;.
would never have made bad he
H-*ae«l a better knowledge of insect
lift ; and as Mr. Glover found that tin
chrysalis wn killed by the slightest
frost, the insect evidently winters over
in the moth slate, as do many other*-
belonging to the same tnbe. Mr. W.
Ii. S-abrook give* strong evidence
that tliis U the ca*e, fo a “memoir on
the Cotton Plant,"read iu l^L'J, before
the state Agricultural Society ol South
Carolina, wherein he *ay*: ‘^That the
Cotton moth fturvives the winter li
nearly certain. An examination of
the neighboring woods,especially after
a cold winter, has often been success
fully made for that purpose.” Au*l
Dr. Phare* states positively that the
moth hibernates in pile* ot cotton seed
under shelter, under bark and in crev
ice* of tree* in den*e fbr< *ts and oth
er m eluded places and that it may of
ten be *een on p!ea*ant dars iu
winter.
