A. Garner's schedule for week beginning Monday, June 18, with notes on the tobacco situation follows: "I will be in my office all the week, subject to calls anywhere in the county.

"There seems to be lots of trouble ln killing the tobacco worms. If you rind that arsenate of lead will not kill them, try 1 pound of Parish green to 10 pounds of air slake lime. Be sure to get this on every leaf. It Is more important to get it put on evenly than anything else. Late spraying or poisoning is very undesirable, as it sometimes stays on the plant, or leaf and is carried to the curing barns and the lea.r is hurt by the poisoning.

"Indications are that tobacco of our type is going to sell good, and those that look after and take care of their tobacco will, I believe, be well paid for their trouble. "Keep the worms off of it and put a good bed to it is about all that you can do to it at present. I am going to try to see every tobacco farmer as soon as I can. starting next week."
