The Cotton Worm—It Can Be De
stroyed.
Cotton Planter in the Vicks
burg Herald : As the cotton
worms have again made their
appearance, I take it for gran
ted, that all persons engaged
in planting, will take some
interest in knowing how to
get rid of them. Having ex
perimented successfully last
Rummer with different pois
ons, L propose to give a short
account of those experiments.
About the first of August the
catcpillar came out in full
force, ar.d it became evident
that the crop would be de
stroyed. Having about sev
enty fiye pounds of Paris
Green on hand, left over fi inn
a former year, I applied it on
as iu§l$y acres, and effectually
killed the worms. About flic
first of September this saute
pictfe of cotton was again at
tacked, itid I applied London
Puifple, which proved etjally
efficacious. The leaf was-en
.tirely stripped from the baL
ancy^Oi the crop early in An
gusi, and on that part not
spriikled, there was not over
otiejiiirdofa bale made to
the ^cre; while on the part
p<-r«J>ned, there was three
fourths of a hale made, and
but tor its being an imperfect
stani a full bale per acre
woqju have been made, as if
reif&iued green and vigor
ous until frost.
OtjiUootherplantation which
had) been overflowed when
the ,i worms first appeared,
thgfe would not have been
more three or four bales made
but for the use of the poison.
On about 250 acres, we made
113 heavy bales, some of the
cotton having been planted
as fate as the- 20th of June.
Here I applied Paris Gieen
and lost so few plants, the
damage was not appreciable.
Had every stalk been careful
ly sprinkled,there would have
been no injury whatever. On
the second appearance of the
worm on this yonng cotton, I
used London Purple, and
found it as effectual as the
P^ris Gi’een- A also used ar
senic and salgsoda boiled to
gether on a few acres, but
found that although it killed
the worm, it was more apt-to
scorch the cotton than either
of the first named. It was
atroublesome to prepare
aqd-ipjarious to the skin of
those .who handle it. Of the
two first named poisons,I pre
fer London Purple for two
reasons. It is uniform in
quality and cheap in price;
being so cheap,there is no rea
son to adulterate it. Paris
Green is much adulterated
and sells at from sixteen to
forty cents per pound, accord
ing to purity. The purple is
worth in Vicksburg and New
Orleans 8 cents per pound.
There is only a half pound of
■ the purple required to. forty
gallonsof water, wbilo it re
quires a full pound of the
Pans Green to same quanti
ty of wafer. This is enough
for one acre of ground. Pork
barrels placed along the turns
ing rows is what we used to
mix the poison in. I tried a
fountain pump for applying
the mixture as well as a three
gallon sprinkling pot. Both
did well, but when the plant
is large U*e pinwp cannot be
or barrel
....Mi
slide or two wheeled vehicle
of some kind which will strad
dle the row, I used the rear
wheels of a two-diorse wagon,
bat found the axle too low for
large cotton. It did well
when the cotton was no more
than four feet high. By turn
ing a barrel, having both
heads tight, on its side, and
fastening it to tUe rear hounds
aud axle, the fonntani pump
which has a flexible tnbe on
the end, can be used with
success. The wagon must be
uncoupled and only the near
wheels used, as there wonld
be difficulty, in turning at the
ends of the rows with four
wheels.
I prefer a three gallon
sprinkling pot with the han
dle riveted to prevent their
breaking off while iu the
midst of the work, and these
to be in the hands of negroes
mounted on mules. Mv plan
was to have ten or twelve lie
groos mounted and working
in a squad. The mules should
go in a brisk trot to cause the
water to come out as spray
aud be equally distributed
over the plant. During rainy
weather it may be a better
way to mix the poison with a
low grade of flour and use a
sifter with short handle for
applying it; oc, there might
bo added t<> the fluid three or
four pounds of flour to each
barrel which had fiist been
stirred into a thin paste. The
time to commence the use of
the poison is when the woru:
has become large enough to
get on top of the leaf, and
commence bis work in earn
est. If applied to soon, a
ram may wash the poison off.;
Forty-eight hours is enough
if no rain intervenes for. the
worms to be generally dead
or webbed up. Should a hard
rain fall soon after the appli
cation and the worm is still
found at %ork, it must he
done over.
An important point to con
aider before the work begins
is an easy an rapid manner of
obtaining water from wells or
ponds, and also of conveying
it to"life Held where the li*.
quor ia being applied.
It is also important to h ive
everything prepared before
the work of destruction lias
began, as in one week a whole
crop may l>** destroyed. One
tlir'ee'gallon sprinkling pot
to everj twenty acres will be
a sufficient number if the
work is- not too slowly done.
To drive out the enemy when
lie begins his attack in force,
a double quick must be the
step, and not an hour of day
light should be lost. He works
at night as well as in the day,
and it frequently happens
that before a planter is aware
of much damage being done
it is too late to save the plant.
