The shipments for the same month of last year amounted to 1,055 cwt. Information has been received from the Curator of the Botanic Station, Antigua, as to the state of the cotton crop in that island, in regard to insect pests. This shows that, although some attacks by caterpillars had been experienced, the flower-bud maggot had not appeared, at any rate up to the end of October. The Experiment Station Record of the United States Department of Agriculture, Vol. XXII, Xo. S, p. 719, gives a note of a paper by H. Pellet, in which it is concluded by the author, from analyses of the deposits in furnaces in which molasses is burnt, that a loss of potash takes place not only through the volatilization of potassium sulphide, as has been suggested, but also because of the volatilization of other potash salts.
