TAX ON HEDGING.
For the past three weeks the price of cotton has been
steadily rising, due to tlie great decrease of the crop in the
western cotton states. But this took a Hharp tumble last week
when congress threatened to tax heavily all dealing in
futures. Cottou dropped nearly $3.00 a bale on account of
the action of the Democratic caucus committee.
Now is this right or what is needed —to tax cotton futures
alone, and leave wheat, corn, other agricultural products and
commodities free to be gambled on ?
It seems that congress is endeavoring to wipe out an
evil —as an experiment —at the expense of the Southern farm
er alone. Now it may be right to suppress gambling and
other prevalent evils in the markets, but it is not just to make
the Southern fanner foot the hills for such an experiment.
As far as dealing in futures is concerned, as many be
lieve it is helpful to tli?. market price of the staple as those
who believe that it is injurious, bet the evil continue if
that is what you wish to call it—and experiment with some
other crop, especially one which is not so particulaily \ital to
our section its cotton is to the South. 1 hroe dollars difference
in the price of cotton, with none in other products, is too
much to !)C lost now in the condition that our country and
state are now.
ARIZONA WASTES RECLAIMED.
The seven million dollars employed by the government
in capturing the waters of the Colorado river for irrigation
purposes is believed to hive been well spent. Some two hun
dred thousand acres in the neighborhood of Y utna and a
great tract of sand dunes and sage brush along the old Santa
Fe trail will now be well watered.
The yield from.“sand dunes” even when watered plenti
fully would seem to he doubtful, hut bountiful crops in great
variety are expected from this desert region under irrigation,
and it is probable that “sand dune” in the sea-beach sense is
not the proper term. Irrigation has paid well in other places
of the west, and no doubt the money spent on this great un
dertaking in Arizona will eventily be repaid many times.—

BUSINESS REPORT FOR ATLANTA.
The increase in the price of cotton, following the (loyern
ment crop report, has given a more hopeful tone to business
generally, as a good crop of that staple is now practically as
sured over almost the entire State of Georgia. A larger grain
crop has been raised than is usual and consequently less feed
will have to lu* brought in from other sections than in past
years. Retailers in the city report a good volume of trade
for the season, and the leading wholesale dealers are opti
mistic in regard to the business outlook for the fall and wint
er. The crop moving deposits of the Treasury Department
have also created more confidence among planters and busi
ness men, and the opinion of bankers is that the benefits
from these deposits will he great. Local banks are well
supplied with funds to properly move the crop, which is
already being marketed in some sections. Heal estate op
erators also anticipate increased activity during the fall and
winter months. Collections are beginning to improve, es
pecially from the sections where cotton is being ginned
and marketed. —Dim’s Weekly Review.

WOI AND SPIDER
ATTACKING COTTON
State Entomologist Woroham Receive*
Many Complaint* and Give*
Remedie*.
Atlanta, Ga. —Just as Georgia Is
about to make one of the largest and
best cotton crops In the history of
the state, numerous complaints of the
ravage* of the red cotton spider and
the cotton boll worm are reaching the
state department of entomology; and
In many Instances these pests threat
en serious damage.
The cotton boll worm has been sent
In from a number of South Georgia
counties, 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 but one thing to do and that
is to kill it with, some effective poi
son.
The red cotton spider is exceedingly
small and its prevailing color is red.
It feeds on the under side of the cot
ton leaf. The female lays anywhere
from 50 to 80 eggs, which hatch in
about four days, and there may be
ns 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.
Asa rule, they prefer the cultivated
violet, common goidenrod 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 goidenrod on ditch banks and
field borders, should be grubbed out
and burned. Cultivated violets near
cotton fields should either be spray
ed or destroyed. Trap borders, or
thickly sown cotton, along the border
of a field, which may he cut. off and
burned, is a good preventative. A
careful watch should be kept for all
first attacks and infested plants should
be removed and burned.
Work of the 801 l Worm.
Tlie moth of the boll worm, Mr.
Worsham points out, generally lias a
wing expanse of about one and one
halt inches, and may be easily distin
guished from the cotton leaf worm
or caterpillar moth by the fact that,
when at rest, it holds its wings slight
ly raised and parted, while the cotton
caterpillar moth always rests with
the wings tightly closed.
In Georgia there are at least four
and possibly five generations of the
boll worm each season. Fortunately
for cotton, the female moth prefers
to deposit her eggs on young corn,
the eggs being laid on all parts of the
plant, but preference is shown for the
silk, if it is present. Each female de
posits on au average of 1,100 eggs.
These hatch in from three to ten days,
depending on the season. It is usually
the thisd brood that injures cotton •
most severely, along in August, when
the corn begins to mature.
Corn planted as a trap in rows from
200 to 300 feet through the entire
field, so as to he in prime silking con
dition about August 1, will attract the
jjest away from cotton. The eggs are
deposited on the corn which can be
Cut and fed to stock when the worms
are partly grown.
Since the worm, when fully grown,
descends into the ground where it
passes the pupal stage, a splendid
preventative is winter plowing of the
ground, which exposes the pupa and
kills it.
When the worm Is on the plant the
only thing to do. of course, is to kill
it by poison. Paris green may be
used In the proportion of one pound of
Paris green to two pounds of flour,
and at the rate of three pounds of
Parts green to the acre; but the most
effective method has been found to
be dusting with arsenate of lead. In
the case of this poison no dilution is
necessary, and it should be used at
the rate of about three pounds per
acre. The duster is made of a one
inch board one and one-half feet long
er than the width of the rows and
three inches wide, with a one and
one-lialf inch auger hole bored five
inches from each end. and under each
hole is attached a sack made of un
starched sheeting about fifteen inches
long. The arsenate of lead is placed
in these sacks and one person can
dust fifteen to twenty acres per day
by riding on horseback and dusting
as he passes between the rows.
Wherever the cotton boll worm Is
found this remedy should be applied
at once.
