State Entomolcglat Worsham Receive*
Many Complaint* and Give*
Remedies.
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
ravages of the red cotton spidter 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.
Os 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
as 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.
WHEELER COUNTY EAGLE, ALAMO, GEORGIA.
Peat Lives Through Winter.
The cotton red spider often survives
the winter, if he can find green food.
As a rule, they prefer the cultivated
violet, common goldenrod 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 kin 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 goldenrod 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 be 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.
The moth of the boll worm, Mr.
Worsham points out, generally has a
wing expanse of about one and one
half inches, and may be easily distin
guished from Mie 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 an average of 1,100 eggs.
These hatch in from three to ten days,
depending on the season. It is usually
the third 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 be in prime silking con
dition about August 1, will attract the
pest 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 tv/o pounds of flour,
and at the rate of three pounds of
Paris 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-half 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.

America rings with praise and ap

new typewriter type has attracted
more attention than any typewriter
innovation brought out recent years
Hundreds of thousands of people
have seen this new type and wond

strength and charm in printype cor

and “class” and style. Not pecause

A Vast Improvement
Printype is designed in shaded let

whice books and magazines are
printed. It is book type transformed
and adopted to modern typewriter

H. S. HORWITZ,
This radical departure from the old
style “outline” letters makes it. pos
sible to produce, on the Oliver type
writer, a page of manuscript as clear
and attractive as that of the finest
book. The Oliver is the first and
only typewriter that successfully
prints print.
The Primary Reason
Printype resulted from our discovery
that “outline” type, with its Bam»-
ness, due to absence of shading,
wus harmful to the eyes.
The Silent Test
For months, without any advertis
ing, we put hundreds of Printype
Oliver Typewriters into actual arrv
ice, in many diverse lines of busi
ness. We wanted the public verdict
It came in a burst of admiration and
a flood of orders that proved prin
type a brilliant success. Printype
letters, wherever seen, excited the
keenest interest. Business men who
received their first printype letter
almost invariably answered, post
haste—“where did you get that type
Thus printype captured the country
without firing a single shot,
Price Not Advanced
