quern ana better opportunities: ,
eessfully preying upon the obnoxious
insect. Their attack under such cir
cumstances mar be said to be artificial
ly concentrated more or less against a
specified injurious insect, and hence
makes them more efficient agents in re- ,
during and assisting in the control of '
the ravage* of that species. A portion
of these beneficial Insects would also
be destroyed by any treatment of the
corn looking to the artificial destruc
tion of the boll worm. In view of these
additional facta it seems best not to
urge such a measure.
As to the first preventive measure,
some insist that cutting out infested
corn early in the season endangers a
good stand. In reply it can be said
that, much of the corn being drilled in,
some is chopped out at the time of the
firat plowing. At the time of this first
chopping a greater proportion of the
drilled corn can be left and at the same
time necessary to moat efficiently at
tack* the bon worm the portion cut out
will be counterbalanced by the slight
excess left from* the first thinning, lint,
as already stated, absolute chopping
and burning need not be resorted to if
care is exercised so that the crushing
process be thoroughly done. In that
case the worm is destroyed and the
plant, as experiments have shown, is
not materially injured, and still makes
a good ear of corn.
. To the second some object that by
planting a trap crop in the manner rec
ommended you actually encourage the
greatest possible development in point
of numbers, that succeeding broods will
bo proportionately greater, and hence
the measure will be worse than no
remedy. This has already been par
tially answered. The trap corn is
reduced to the minimum in quan
tity. This makes a maximum crowd
ed condition which induces the maxi
mum cannibalism in the species and,
as already explained, actually makes
the boll worm it* own destroyer. On
the other hand,if the trap corn were not
planted the moths would of necessity
deposit on cotton. Here there is plenty
of room and each individual worm
would feed and mature independently;
hence no conditions exist to induce
their preying upon each other and the
maximum number of worms attain m&-

Fall plowing, at a preventive measure
again*! boll worm in slightly infested
regions, is not practical as a purely boll-
worm measure In badly infested re
gions it is to be done when possible.
The great difficulty with this measure
is that the top crop of cotton is seldom
all picked timely enough to made fall
plowing possible before the rainy,
wintry season begins. Due to this fact,
it must be urged that plowing be done
in spring, as early as it is possible to
plow and pulverise the soil. This early
plowing, with the cold, rainy weather
and occasional frosts, which occur as
late as April 1, will insure the destruc
tion of many of the chrysalids. Tba
after preparation of the soil at planting
time will doubtless destroy a small per
centage of the surviving pupw.
Early plowing, in addition to brings
boll-worm preventive, has its strong ad
vocates among leading agricultural
men, whcsInsist that it should be fol
lowed* as an improved method or prac
tice of farming, since larger and better
crops are produced when done,
conx.
Corn Is beyond doubt the choice food-
plant of the boll worm. From about
the middle of April, when the corn be
comes large enough for the boll worm
to work in it, this worm may be found,
and continuously so on through tho
season so long as green corn in suitable
condition for good is found. Until
about the middle of May or the 1st of
June, boll worms are rarely found on
any other plant than young corn. This
