COTTON LOUSE ENEMY One Insect That Proves to Ba the Planter’s Friend. the convergent lady-bug Instead of Being Injurious to the Cot ton Plant This Little Bug Is of Inestimable Benefit to Same. Every one knows that the cotton. In common with nearly ail other kinds of plants, isflUlbject to the attack of in sects, but -very few realize 1 lie im mense variety of them that depend more or less upon this staple for food. The cotton worm, cotton boll worm, Mexican cotton boll weevil, cotton louse, etc., are but a few examples of the most common, but. fortunately only' a few are at all apt to appear, in serious numbers, and these are very variable in their appearance. Sometimes they occur in such abundance* as to appear 1 to jeopardise the eutjL crop in a more or less area, while again their numbers arc op insignifi cant as to pass unnoticed. This striking variability is due. i\ part to a great many causes, some of. them easy to understand, others niert* obscure in their nature. Nothing is of greater Importance, though, than the yveather conditions at certain seasons ol the year. Most insects thrive on a dry and warm season, while tne opposite is true of fungous diseases. Last year the excessive rains and long continued periods of cloudy weather made tlis conditions very favorable for the latter mentioned, and the result was an out break, quite serious in some section It of the fftngous disease known as cotton anthj aapiosc. This season tile dry and hot weather which has continued throughout May and June, will, unless July and August am extremely wm render a recurrence of this disease extremely improbable, but it has been very .favorable to the insects. Lu :kily rnost of the insect pests are 1 restricted to a Lvf generatttms per' year, and it will -on! that, account re quire more than ou*iy favorable season for such varieties to'Jncrease to alarm ing lumbers. A fewjtafe, however, dif ferent in their nature anew generation every teifls days or two weeks, and these sorts will, unless soitie other natural cause intervenes, increase many thou/sand fold in the coarse of a favorable season. The cotton lo#6e Ipelongs to the lat ter class. This inwe'et only requires about ten days to develop from a new ly . born young t.a -iili adwit capable of producing youhgmn' its oVm account, and the rate of itapr-reS.se womld be a! iripst beyond eompi tat ion did not? 1 n,, na/al causes intervene and prevent tnch a disaster, tt is very safe to j sity that without such intervention I tjiis insect alone would practically j rjiln the qiuton errtp the first season that it wasi flowed-Jfe sweep. | But natural 1 lake®jftt|e of her own.
