The subject is an Important one and the industry based upon it is destined to become a most valuable ono to the South. Of the many-thousands of barrels ox seed potatoes now annu ally brought from the North both for seed and food, a few years hence will be reduced to as many hundred. The truckers in the East Atlantic States, to . a large extent, now plant homegrown potatoes for the, second crop, and it will not be long" before the practice will become universal. These potatoes are destined also to supply the food market to the exclusion of Northern grown potatoes. - The important points to observe in planting are: lied the seed in the soil until planting time, about the second week in August and ue oniy sprouted So ta toe a. The cut potatoes when bod ed sprout better than whole ones. Plant in a d - ep furrow, but cover Terr lightly ana pack the soil to the seed. Gradually fill in the soil to the plants as they grow, and cultivate the ere-p perfectly flat.

This material consists of a fine, tv hi te am! crystalline powder, possessing lit tle r no odor, and the aqueous solu tion has rather an agreeable sweetish taste. An analysis of this powder shows it to be nothing but commercial Salicylic acid. Salicylic acid is a pow erful antiseptic, and owing to its slight taste, it has been much UBcd for pre serving Commercial articles of food.

S - The moth which produces this des tructive caterpillar is a slender lead colored insect, about 1 inch long.. The wings have wavv black lines near tbe tip. The insect IsTather slnggUh and often remains In one position fur a long time. This moth can probably be found active in this state in all months of the year except January. The eggs are whitish or pink, and kidney-shaped. ' The eggs are usually laid on outside of .sacks artdjinthe cracks of bins. They . hatch in about 20 days. As soon as hatched the caterpillar make its way . into the Hour and then spins around itself a silken tunnel -in whtch it lives and feeds on the flour. These tunnels cause the flour to become knotted into clots which refuse to pass through the machinery, .rendering the material worthless,- besides clogging the cloths, screens and spouts. Rrueov: The only practicable reme dy for this pest is to fumigate the en tire mill and bulldine ia which flour and manafactured foods are kept with carbon bisulphide. . - This substance Is a fluid having a most disgusting odor. It vaporizes readily when exposed to the air and in this condition . is destructive to all forms of active insect life. To use it, the room or building to be fumigated must be closes! as tightly as possible. All interior doors should be kept open. Expose the liquid in shallow pans or saucers and close the building- for 24 to 48 hours. Then open all doors and windows and allow the gas to disperse in the air. Care should be ex ercised to avoid breathing the gas and ,on no account should any fire or tight be brought into the room or building whil the peculiar odor can be smelled. - This subfctance is hifthly explosive and infiamable. With eare no harm will follow iU Use. . .When the gas disperses in the air it leaves no residue behind, so that no trace of it can be found in the flour or food. Where only a amall lot of roods or saeks are infested they may be placed in an air tirht room, or bin and .a dish of the liquid plaeed within near the top. Use about four fluid ounces of the liquid lor eacn zo eubicfeet of spaoe, or for grain or flour in a tight bin use 1 pound of carbon bisulphide, for each ton. Carbon bisulphide ean be bought of W. 8.

These pests arc nocturnal in their habits and hence are apt to es cape observation until their numbers increase so much as to render their presence alarmingly patent. Remedy: Cleanliness where such Is practical is essential to keepMree of these insects. In mills and ware flour dust and grain is everywhere, the carbon bisulphide fumigation must be resortedrto, anJ must be very thoroughly done so that the vapor of the substance will find its war into the cracks and crevices where these pests hide. In addition pyre thrum powder should be blown Into cracks where they are known to hide, or pure- keraine oil may be blown in with an ordinary oi mg can J ow dered borax sprinkled on shelve where thev run will drive them away.

It is a native, of Asia, as its name betokona. . It is becoming yearly a greater pest la the Southern States, and will probably exceed in mischief even the Calandra wee vila. The remedy for this is tha same aa for the others carbon bisul phide. This Insect is fond of greasy substances, and if some paper is soaked .in melted lard and Paris green sprin kled upon it while moist and the pois oned sheets distributed on floor and . ... shelves where grain antl flour is kept, many of the beetles will be killed; but this flour will not give satisfaction r where they are already abundant until the carbon has killed most of them. As a matter of suf etyall mills, war honsea-and stores, where grain, flour, and food-stuffs are kept, should receive a thorough annual cleaning, and fumi gation with carbon bisulphide. This, if attended to and thoroughly done, will sava manv thousands of dollar damage. Itr will be most efficacious if done about April 1. 1 1 may be repeated with benefit in July or Angust. Th best time to fumigate is on Saturdav evening, having thoroughly closed all outside doors and ventilators, leav them until Monday morning. The ut most care must be takeu that no fir hall be Ukcn into the building whila the odor of carbon bisulphide can be - -smelled.
