Washington, Sept. 12.—While po tatoes are not to be as plentiful this year as formerly, the housewives needn't fear a marked shortage. In a special report Issued today, the Department of Agriculture declared that the crop was short, but there Is a sufficient supply to take care of the normal demands. The shrinkage Is ascribed to the heavy hold-over crop ,and trade de moralization last autumn, which caused a reduction In acreage. The Indications are that Maine will produce a bumper crop, the Middle Western States a normal yield, and the other states a light yield. WHAT IS BRANDY?

The cotton boll worm has been sent in from a number of South Georgia couutleR, while reports of the red spi der come from various sections of the state, both northern and southern. Of course the best remedy in both Instances is prevention, says State Entomologist E. Lee Worsham; but where the pest is already on the cot ton plant just approaching maturity, there is bat one thing to do and that Is to kill it with some effective poi son. The red cotton spider is exceedingly small and Its prevalltng color is red, It feeds on the under side of the cot* ton leaf. The female lays anywhere from 60 to 80 eggs, which hatch in about four days, and there may be as many as 16 or 17 generations dur ing one year. The spiders suck the juice from the leaves, causing red dish spots to appear, later turning to dark brown. The leaves drop one by one until usually the plant dies. The pest Increases most rapidly during hot dry weather until, toward the end of August, several acres of a field may become badly damaged. Pest Lives Through Winter. The cotton red spider often survives the winter, If he can find green food: As a rule, they prefer the cultivated violet, common goldenrod or the poke- weed, but will attack other plants If these cannot be found. Where the red cotton spider Is now prevalent in cotton fields, the only way to stop its ravages, Entomologist Worsham points out, is to spray the infected fields with some good insect icide known to kill this particular pest. The cheapest and at the same time most effective insecticides for this purpose are either a two per cent, pre pared lime-sulphur solution, or a two per cent. Scalecide solution, used as a spray. The state department of en tomology will be glad to furnish at any time, information upon this and kindred subjects. Where the red cotton spider Is prev alent Mr. Worsham calls attention to the necessity for the exercise of care to prevent its recurrence next year. Clean culture Is important; all weeds and underbrush, especially pokeweed and goldenrod on ditch banks and field borders, should bp grubbed out and burned. Cultivate! cotton fields should either be spray ed or destroyed. Trap borders, or thickly sown cotton, along the border of a field, which may bo cut off and burned, is a good preventative.
