Duval, Fla.—Royall’s patent used. One to twenty-eight answers equally as welland 
is less expensive ; costing, with labor and materials, from $1.30 to $1.40 per acre. 
Putnam, Fla.—Sifted upon the plant, the operator being mounted and the animal 
muzzled. 
Butler, Ala.—Apply in August when worms first appear—two applications will suf- 
fice—14 pounds to 8 pounds flour, 50 gallons water; or 13 pounds green, 1 pound resin 
and gum arabic each, with 20 pounds of flour. 
Clark, dla.—Used in proportion of 1 to 28 with the desired effect. Applied 6th of 
August, and ten days later, (the heavy rains washed it off,) by means of a bucket with 
sieve bottom. Have also used a spoonful of the poison in a bucket of water, shaken 
on by means of a shuck tied to a stick. 
Grenshaw, Ala.—One to twenty-five, flour or lime; 1 to 40 gallons of water.

is wet with dew orrain. At the same time uséd1 pound in 40 gallons of water, (to an 
acre,) applied with fine watering-pots, when too dry for the powder to stick. Two 
applications will, doubtless, save the crop. The green is not soluble, but by keeping 
the water stirred, better results are obtained.

30 pounds of flour. Applied on the first appearance of the worms by means of a tin 
strainer.

resin to an acre. Put three-fourths of this amount on at intervals of four weeks when 
the worms first appear would be the best mode. 
3. Injuries or poisonous effects.—Nearly all returns made reference to 
the matter of poisoning or injury from the application, and most of 
them stated positively that no injurious effects were observed. Several 
assert that when too liberally applied, or in too strong a solution, the 
leaves are spotted or killed. In Rapides Parish, La., “ in some cases 
plants were injured and nearly killed by the Royall’s mixture,” and in 
Claiborne Parish ‘‘a patent remedy killed plants.” In Avoyelles, La., 
“caused blooms to shed to a limited extent.” In Sabine, Tex., our cor- 
respondent’s stock roamed at large over the field with no injurious 
results. ‘Reports of horses and mules dying from licking the poison 
from the stalks” are returned from Brooks, Ga. Our correspondent in 
Worth, Ga., says: *‘ Stock has been poisoned by eating the cotton, and it
