SI .Oh COTTON RED SPIDER DOING in DAMAGE Insects Become Serious Pests In Geor gia, Owing To Long Dry Spell Atlanta, Ga. —Numerous complaints of damage done to cotton plants by tne cotton red spider are being re ceived by the State Department of En tomology from various sections of Georgia. In many instances they are threat ening serious harm to the crop, owing to the fact that the prolonged hot and dry weather has been favorable to their propagation, and the depart ment strongly urges farmers who have this pest to deal with to lose no time in applying the effective rem edies. It is only during excessively long dry periods that the red spider prop agates in great numbers, and only in prolonged drouths, such as certain sections of Georgia have been experi encing this summer, that their rav ages assume serious proportions. Rain washes them from the plants, and when frequent affects them to such an extent as to make their injury of minor importance. This summer, how ever, they have obtained a start that will mean serious harm unless their ravages are checked by the applica tion of poison sprays. The department has made a careful study of the life and habits of the cot ton red spider, and from practical ex periment has gained knowledge of the most effective way to curb its ravages, so that the farmer who conscientious ly follows the suggestions made by the department may be certain of ob taining real results. The Best Remedy Of course, prevention in the first place is the best way of handling the red spider, State Entomologist E. Lee Worsham points out, but where the pest is already in the cotton plant the only thing to do is to kill it by spraying with the right kind of poi son. • The cotton red spider, as it is gen erally known, is really one of the “spinning mite” family, and as the word “mite” indicates, it is extremely small, less than the size of a pin head, and does not usually attract at tention until after the plants have been injured. A careful examination of plants attacked, however, will dis close the mites or spiders and their eggs, even to the unaided eye. The color of the grown spider is red, while the young are of a greenish color. The red spider makes its home on the underneath side of the leaves on the cotton plant, congregating along the veins and depressions. They feed by puncturing and sucking the juice from the leaves and tender branches of the plant. They always show a de- cided preference for the under foliage of the plant. How They Migrate They spin a thin network of thread or web over the surface on which they feed, and the eggs are deposited Immediately beneath this web, being loosely attached to it, and touching also on the leaf hairs. They do not use the web like true spiders for climbing or for descending from a height. Their way of migrating from one plant to another is by interlacing branches. In no instance do ever crawl from one plant to another on the ground, and the isolated condi tion of the cotton plants until July is the reason why fields do not become infested until that time. The plants which are infested first show slight yellow spots on the sur face of the leaf. As feeding progress es and the infestation becomes more severe, the discolored spots enlarge and the leaf begins to curl. Gradually the leaf turns reddish brown, and a field of cotton so attacked, in its final stage, has a rusty red color. These discolored leaves eventually drop off. The spread of the pest is ordinarily slow, but when disturbed or their food is exhausted locally, they are quite capable of rapid movement. Spi ders that today cover only two or three acres may sometimes spread so' rapidly that in a week they infest an area three times that large. Details About Bpray The only effective way to light the cotton red spider when it once ob tains a foothold, Mr. Worsham points out, is to spray the infested fields with an insecticide that is known to kill this particular pest. The cheap est and at the same time the most effective insecticides for this purpose are as follows: Either a two per cent prepared lime sulphur solution; Or a two per cent Scalecide solu tion. Either of the above is to be used as a spray. Further information on this subject will be gladly furnished at any time by the department of en tomology. As prevention is always better than the application of remedies after harm has been done, Mr. Worsham recommends that wherever the cotton HAY RUN FOR SOLICITOR GENERAL J| —■m. Jiffy _J§ jaj Hfek HON. C. L. REDMAN spiaer is prevalent, special care snouia be taken to prevent its recurrence next year. Clean culture is the most important step in this direction; all weeds and underbrush, especially pokeweed and goldenrod, should be grubbed out and burned. Cultivated violets near cotton fields should either be sprayed or destroyed. Trap bor ders or thickly sown cotton along the border of a field, which may be cut off and burned are also good. In the first stages the ravages may be check ed, if discovered in time by removing and burning infested plants. Where the infestation has become general in a field, however, the poison spray is the only practical treatment. Malaria a Blood Trouble S. S. S. Conquers It! S. S. S.
