No worm seems to be too big for Mr. Toad to tackle, and he
usually succeeds in his undertakings. It is not uncommon for
him to take hold of a tomato worm that will hang from both
sides of his mouth at once, and make him shut his eyes and get
down on his elbows to hold. But the toad sticks right to his
business, and before long he smacks his lips and chuckles all
over, feeling so good after a big feast!
 By walking along the fence row and brushing the trash and
weeds, one will frequently drive up moths of the boll-worm and
of other species. Several times, in looking for material in this
way, the green lizzard, or chameleon (Anolis principalis, L.), has
anticipated the flushing of moths and, run ahead on the fence.
Their quick eyes saw the moths, and before they had fairly
alighted they were in the jaws of the agile little fellow.
 The king, bird (Tyrannus tyrannus, L.), catches quite a num-
ber of the moths as they are startled by people and by cattle.
The common wasps, that build nests around in trees and shrubs
do much good in carrying off many of these larvae as they
venture from one tomato to another, and while the larvae are still
young, before they have entered the tomato.
 The above are some of the natural enemies of the boll-worm
that every tomato grower can have more or less control over.
There are many other enemies that could be mentioned and
described, but they are such as would not be noticed during
ordinary work.
 That the above are very efficient, no one who will take the
pains to study the matter will doubt; but that they are not suffi-
cient cannot be denied. The division of entomology of the
United States Department of Agriculture has spent much time in
trying remedies for this insect on the cotton. It is clearly out of
the question, as stated above, to use poison.

 CORN AS A OATCH PLANT.

 To prevent the moth from depositing her eggs on the tomato
plants, a catch plant may be planted among the tomatoes. There
is a good and efficient plant within reach of every tomato grower;
this is corn, a few stalks planted here and there throughout the
field, planting about every fifth hill in every fifth row. This
attracts the moth and the eggs are deposited on the corn. The
corn should be fed before the worms are large enough to pupate;
