TJ 10 Gotfon Moth.
Question T s u l two moths which I
t!m"wo%J ! fcorrect"ai>i
Am if sojiow
shall I best fight the worms.
Answer.—T ho moths yon sent are. ns
you supposed, the cotton moth, the fore
runnnr of tho dreaded caterpillar,
While as yot then have boon no com
plaints of caterpillars, the wet weather
of tho past month is very favorable to
their development, ami I daily expect to
hear of their appearance in the cotton
fields. Upon their first appearance act
ivo warfare should , ,, , be waged against
them. This can bo done successfully
and cheaply with cither Paris green or
London pnrple. One pound of either
of the above arseuites mixed with 20
pounds of flour and ten pounds of cot
tonseod meal, will suffice to dust over
au aero of cotton. This can be applied
by enclosing a half peck at a time of the
above mixture in a burlap sack, and
shaking over tho cotton plants, while
walking rapidly between the rows.
This should be done soou in the morn¬
ing while tho dew is on the leaves, and
must bo repeated after rain, if tho
worms aro still present. The poison
should bo very thoroughly mixed with
the diluents. Wood ashes would do as
well, perhaps better than the cottonseed
meal, to mix with the flour. The seives
very commonly used in some parts of
the country, are too wasteful of the ma¬
terial, using from 50 to 75 pounds to the
acre. It is not so much the quantity,
but tho even distribution of tho poisou
that is desired. In some parts of the
west, tho plants aro poisoned by attach¬
ing a bag containing Paris green to each
end of a polo t> to H feet long, balanced
from the pommel of tho saddle. Tho
rider passing down the cotton rows tho
poison is dusted over the plants at each
r;tep of tho animal ho rides. 1 his is
probably the most rapid way of distrib
uting tho poison. At the ond of tno
day s labor the animal should be veil
wasiiod, to get rid of any particles of
poison that may adhere to him. So
cheaply and so thoroughly can tho cot
ton caterpillar be destroyed, that no
farmer can have any excuse for letting
them eat up his cotton crop.
Selecting Corn.
Question. —Would yon advise that
seed corn lie selected in the field, or is it
just as well to select the fine ears after
the corn is housed? My plan has al¬
ways been to keep boxes or barrels
handy, and in taking the feed corn out
of the crib, to reserve tho very fine ears
by throwing them into these receptacles.
Ansv.’uh.—I n selecting seed corn wo
should reserve not only the finest ears,
but these should be taken from the best
stalks. After the corn is gathered and
thrown into the crib we. of course, can
form no idea of t ie stalks on which the
best cars were grown, and therefore it
is the safest plan to select the seed from
tile field as the crop is gathered. This
may bo done by going through the field
first selecting the finest ears on the most
vigorous and best developed stalks. Tho
ears should not only bo largo, but well
formed also—that is the same or nearly
tho same size from tip to tip—well filled
at the ends ns well as in the middle, the
cob small and the grains wedge shaped,
that is much smaller at tho bottom than
at the top. If not practicable to gather
the seed corn first, then have a box in
the wagon, and as tho crop is gathered
throw the selected ears in this. If you
do not make the selection yourself,
don’t trust it to the judgment of the or
dinar;.- farm hand—delegate it to sume
one on whose discrimination you can
deroml. In t!m matter of seed corn,
farmers, as a rule, do not realize the ini

Question.—C an I make a second or
summer crop of Irish potatoes, and if so
where will I get seed?
A ssweb. —There is no trouble to make
a second or late crop of Irish potatoes,
provided you go about it the right way.
It used to be the custom to throw back
the small potatoes and cover them while
digging the crop, depending upon
them to come up and , produce . a sec
olid crop. This was very unsatis
factory, # as the stand was generally
poor and the yield small. Of late years
the following much better plan has been
successfully followed: Select from the
first crop, after they have been dug two
0 r three weeks, medium sized, smooth
tubers, and bed them as you* would
giyeet potatoes, only using no manure
j au fi covering only about 2 inches in
dirt. From the middle of July to
the first of August (in Middle
Georgia) take up those bedded potatoes
and plant whole, only those that
show signs of sprouting. Plant
as you would in the spring, get
ting down as deep as possible into the
ground, but covering shallow, not more
than two inches deep. After the pota¬
toes are up work the dirt to them grad¬
ually. Potatoes thus made keep readily
through the winter and make the best
of seed for spring planting, and are
even in great demand from the north
ern states as being particularly hardy
and healthy. There has recently come
into notice a variety of potato nailed the
iiookout Mountain, which seems to be
peculiarly adapted to summer planting.
These need not be bedded, and may be
cut toteed pieces, as is usually done in
spring planting. I quote what our Ex
poriniont Station says of this potato :
“The Lookout Mountain is a potato said
t 0 have originated in Northwest Geor
p.j :l as uame indicates, and is proba
iq-,- a seedling from the Hoosier, which
it much resembles, and which shares
t 0 som e extent, its remarkable
keeping qualities. It is quite large, ob¬
long and of excellent quality, pure
white, mealy and of unsurpassed flavor
and richness.” It will not do well
planted as a spring crop, but seems to
be especially predestined for its present
mission—summer planting. Its growth
is extremely upright and vigorous, with
dark green foliage, almost ontirely ex¬
empt from tho inroads of the Macrospo
riuin fungus.” It may bo obtained of

T|»o “Grapebarry Moth "
Question.—I send you some grapes.
I find them stuck together in bunches
of three or four. They look like they
nve ripening, but upon examining them,
I find they have been bored into by some
kind of insect. What are they, and
how can I got rid of them?
Answer.—T he grapes are injured by
the “Grapeberry moth," (Endermis
botrana). The injuries inflicted by this
insect, are not always easily distin¬
guished from the black rot. The grown
moth is au active, small, bluish colored
insect that lays her eggs late in May
or in the early part of Juno. These
hatch in a few days, and the worm at
once begins to eat into the grape. Tho
last of June or the first part of July, tho
grapes that are attacked begin to show
a discolored spot, at the place where
the worm elite ed.
Upon opening small such a crape, you will
find a very white worm, with a
brownish head. It feeds on the pulp of
the grape, and as it grows, if one grape
is not sufficient for its sustenance,
it will f rtstea others to the one it has
destroyed by means of silken threads,
and bore into these one after the other,
ca triig the pulp of each one. As it
