E. O. Tltua, of the Iepartment of , AsTrtcoltnr, haa recently made a re port on hi Investigation of the rot ton red spider In North and Booth Carolina, Georgia and Alabama. Injury to cotton by the red spider, ' this report says, hss been prevelant In many sections of the cotton grow ing area during the peat two year. The eaose of tb Injury I a minute yellowish-red tnlt that feeds on the cotton plant, principally on the under - artdea of the leave. The mite usu ally appear early In the season, but do littler appreciable damage until mid-summer or Ister. The Injuries rarely become aerloue unless accom panied by long continued dry weather; . fn such an event the multiplication of the mites l very rsplri. and the con sequent Injuries sre often sufficient to kill the planta. ' This species was first described to the Department of Agriculture in 1100, and the Insecte were found In lialon Rouge, Ea. In 1101 and 1104 they had caueed considerable damage . there. The pest I very probably dis tributed throughout the entire cotton growing area of the Bouth. although during let yeara It appearance In In jurious numbers hsd not been re port - 1 ed until tn summer of 1103, when It caused conldeiahln damng to cotton In Aoath Carolina and OeorgU. In 1I04 red (pliler were found at Rate burg and In other section . of Bouth Carolina. During the summer of 1106 many reports of Its occurrence were received from points In North Caro- . Una, South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, and In several of theee fltatee th tnfcta were round In In Jurloua numbers. from Investigation made In South Carolina In HOt It wa noticed that from point on the margin of a field where there were growing large poke Perry planta the Infenutlon by the red spider had spread over a fun-nil pert area of the adjoining cotton. The Department believe that when Held la found to be Infested with the spiders thsl they msy be gotten rid of by spraying old planta and pull- - Ing up or burning the young one. DlHQUIKTlNO IOWA ADVICKK. ' Disquieting adlvces, both political and personal, reach Washington from Iowa, in a private letter to an im portant government official from one of the cloaeat friend of Venator Alli son the statement la mad that the .

Now. the political wheel haa taken another turn. The Iowa Republican re righting with axes and. knives. The bitterness of feeling 1 unparsl leled In the State.
