Yightinff Plant Siscares No more ini portant matter can en gage the attention of our producers at this time than that of acquainting them selves with some of the new or more common plant diseases affectinc our principal crops and learning' how to hold these in check to the best advan tage. It is needless to point out that we lose every year millions of dollars’ worth of food crops through the inroads made noon them by plant diseases. Some of these we must admit we are not well acquainted with, and therefore do not know how to meet and overcome them satisfac'orily. On the other hand, we possess information about many d»s eases which we fail to apply properly. In this day and hour when labor is scarce and the necessity of conserving food more imperative than ever before in our history, it is of the utmost im portance that we use ever;- iota of in formation we have relative to portect ing our crops from the inroads of dis ease. Among the diseases to which atten tion should be directed at this time is one affecting the Irish potato. This is a European disease which has been in troduced into the United States. Read • •ref til Iv, therefore, wnat is said about this disease and inform your elf how to fight it successfully. Unless its spread is controlled, it will damage one of the most important and essential o four food crops very seriously and result in the loss of millions of dol lars’ worth of food in the future. We are all interested in the welfare of the sweet potato crop. We wish to preserve it for winter use. and to do this we mudt see that the roots when Turn Stump Land Into Money rr~V Clear your Hump land cheaply —no digging. no I expense for team* and J powder.

Now is the seaso i of the year when we should plait out large areas to cabbage. It is iot worth the time to go to the labor involved unless we set out healthy plants. We can insure a good stand of cabbage by taking into consid eration the sugjestions made below. Our Spanish peanut crop was aff<-cted last year with leaf spot, which did con siderable damage. We can meet the attack of this disease by following a rotation of cro’.s. In view of the importance of these matters, the attention of our readers is directed to the following more or less detailed summary of the foregoing mat ters as prepared by the division of plant pathology of the Georgia State College of Agriculture. A serious. European disease of the Irish potato has been found in Luzerne county, Pennsylvania. Potato wart, due to chrysophlyctic endobiatica, has re sulted in total crop losses in England. The disease was introduced into the United States on imported seed several .years ago and developed into a seri ous garden pest in this particular min ing region. The state of Pennsylvania is taking eveiy precaution to prevent its spread. However, it i» quite pof Bi ble that portions of the same lot of seed were sent to other states. You are. therefore, advised to be on the lookout for this particular disease. Potato wart manifests its presence by an en larged, rough, irregular, warty growth which may invo’ve the entire tuber Or root, changing the tissue of the tuber into a black, worthless mass. A speci men of the disease is on exhibition at the division of plant pathology. Col lege of Agriculture. Potato wart is spread: 1. By planting diseased seed or seed v. hich has come in contact with diseased seed. 2. By manure from animals fed on diseased potatoes. 3. By peeling and other refuse from diseased potatoes, which may be throwii in the field or garden. 4. By diseased soil which may be brought in on cabbage or tomato plants, oi on farm implements. . 5. By drainage water from diseased fields. Reports are beginning to come in re garding corn ear’rot's. In general these rots may be classified in two groups: (1) Those lots resulting from parasitic fungi which involve the entire ear, and (2) those rots gaining entrance to the ear as a result of insect troubles, which are usually confined to the tip of the ear. The rots of the first group are due largely to either Diplodia or Fu saria. Diplodia rot shows up as a white, mouldy growth on and between the grains, which are more or less dis colored—often quite dark. This or ganism lives over in the soil and on diseased plants in the field or is brought into the field on manure resulting from diseased stover. The Fusarium rot shows up as a pinkish or white mouldy growth on and between the grains, which ace discolered—often pinkish or yel lo wsh in color. Whenever you find : :iy discolored ears, note the percentage of •he crop affected and send in a liberal specimen for determination. A number of specimens of mill screen i.gs of wheat have been sent in for ex amination. No Cockle wheat has beer, found as yer, but there Is a large amount of smut and bunt. The grain from which these screenings were taken would THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1918. of necessity require seed treatment be fore being useu lor planting. In fact, it may be laid down as a general rule —that seed wneat should be treated f»- smut without exception. As the sweet potato crop is being dug. be on the lookout lor diseases and in sect troubles. The white skinned varie ties are especially susceptible to dark 1 : kin stain which extends in irregular I areas. This is known as ’ Soil Stain ’ ' or •‘Scurf,’’ and may be controlled bv seed selection, seed treatment and clean sell. Some black ret has already been reported. This is a serious lieid and Storage disease, making its appearance as roundish, metallic colored spots of the potato, the adjacent flesh being de cidettiy bitter. The unbroken skin of the sweet -o tato is resistant to most of the diseased spores—especially under conditions 01 proper storage. A break in the skin, nowever. furnishes an entrance for the rot producing organism. For this rea son, potatoes should be dug and handled so as not to break the skin, and all potatoes showing wounds or bruises should be sorted out for immediate sale and consumption None but healthy, perfect potatoes should go to the stor age house. Storage house plans may be had upon application to the division ot agricultural engineering. College of Ag riculture. Plans should be made for cleaning the orchard trees of brown rot scab, leaf curl and scale. When trees are I severely infected two dormant spray ings should be applied!' (1) During November, (2) during February, before growth starts. Concentrated limc-sui phur gives best results. Spray mate rials should be ordered at once and the spray machinery overhauled to make sure it is in working condition. Last spring, the spray machinery man ufacturers were requested to send cacn vgent copies of his literature. If you have not this literature on hand, please advise and I will have duplicates sent. Considerable “damping off” is show ing up in the cabbage and seed beds. New soil should, of course, be used eacn vear in the beds, and. if possible, it should be steam sterilized. After the disease has made its appearance in a bed not a great deal can be done in the way of eradication. Thinning out the plants so that there is no crowding will help and the application of a layer of coarse sand about the stems renders conditions less favorable to the de velopment of the organism. From the experience of last season it will be well to select a new piece of land for the cabbage planting. Last spring many agents advised that en tire fields had been destroyed as a result of “yellows," a fungus disease which persists in the soil "for several years. Infection of the field may tauc place in the following ways: 1. Diseased seedlings. 2. Diseased material scattered over clean fields, or diseased soil broug.it in on agricultural implements, or the toots of seedling tomato or other plants. 3. Infected seed. A large percentage of the Spanish peanut crop was affected with leaf spot the past season. In many cases the disease was carried down the stalk and appeared on the peas themselves, in selecting seed for next year, be very careful not to select any peas show ing disease —better select seed from healthy vines only. The disease is carried over in the soil on the diseased vines or- is brought in on manure re sulting from diseased vines. Crop ro tation is an important factor in con trolling the disease. Powdery mildew showed up on many varieties ‘of the cowpea during Sep tember. Occasionally the disease proved so severe that the leaves were killed and dropped, thus destroying the forage value of the plant. Fortunately, the season was dry and the damage was small. In selecting seed Irish potatoes one should discard any tubers with a scab by or warty surface or any, which upon being- cut. show a discolored vascular ring (at the stem end). All suspicious specimens should be sent to the pathol ogist for determination. The good seed should then be treated to destroy dis-\ ease organisms on the surface. The methods of treatment are as follows: (1) Corrosive sublimate, one part to 1,000 parts water. Clean tubers soaked lor one-half hour; then washed and spread to dry. (2) Formaldehyde, one part (commer cial 40 per cent) to 240 parts water. Clean tubers soaked for fifteen min utes. Ab6ut one gallon of solution is used per bushel of potatoes treated; thus for 100 bushels of seed there will be re quired: (1) Fourteeen ounces of corrosive sublimate to 100 gallons of water. (2) One pint of formaldehyde to 100 gallons of water. Balling Hogs ou Forage Crops In the South. C. F. H., Camp McClellan, Ala., writes: I would like all tbe information you can give me on raising hogs on forage crops in Geor gia to be supplemented with corn or soy beans. Also would like some figures ou Jhe cost of growing corn, mid the latest in formation on growing alfalfa in Georgia. A considerable percentage of the large number of hogs raised in Georgia are now produced chiefly on forage crops. This ic particularly true of that great section of the state which lies south of the Fall Line, where the lands are sandier than those of north Georgia. On this account grazing may be prac ticed at almost any season of the year without danger of puddling the soil. Grazing and forage crops suitable for the maintenance of hogs for the great er part of the year can, of course, be grown successfully In all parts of Geor gia, but In the northern section the method of handling and mangement will of necessity have to be somewhat dif ferent to that followed in south Geor gia. In this state winter cereals such as wheat, barley, oats or rye, sown either alone or in combination with crim son clover or some of the vetches, af ford considerable late fall and winter pasturage. It is a good idea to have an area of land devoted to alfalfa, which can be used as a sort of in-between graz ing crop. Then as early as practicable in the spring rape should be planted, followed by spring oats, sown singly or in combination with Canada peas, early maturing corn and cowpeas and soy beans planted in succession. Pea nuts should be seeded in May or June to afford the primary grazing crop from September until the first of the year. Velvet beans planted In corn will be found very valuable as a graz ing crop for hogs. A combination of the corn and velvet beans provides an almost balanced ration. Where hogs are grazed on peanuts they must of necessity be fed some corn for two or three weeks before they are slaughtered In order to firm up the flesh satisfactorily, as peanuts produce a soft, oily nork. Velvet beans are disposed to produce a rather dark colored fat, though this trouble may be obviated by the use of corn. Un derstand. of course, that both peanuts end velvet beans produce vigorous, thrifty animals that are perfectly nor %/aWITTE” Wood iSawinjg Outfit BURN I ™ Cash or Terms kerosene} SAVE 1 COAL Rotons.

Feeding paddocks are desirable so that hogs may be turned on first one crop and then another as they become ready for grazing. It is important that an abundance of pure water be supplied. Under all. cir- ■ cumstances we advise the use of pre- i ventive serum, or probably the simul taneous treatment against cholera. The cost of raising corn in Georgia varies from 40c to SI.OO a bushel. Un der good management the smaller fig ure pertains and under the one-horse Boy Dixie plow system followed by the careless or indifferent tenant the lat ter figure pertains. It is largely a ouestion of son preparttion. fertiliza tion and management as to what the cost of a bushel of corn will be in Geor g Alfalfa may be grown successfully in Georgia, as our tests here at the col lege and in many other parts of Geor gii» demonstrate. We have plats of al falfa which have been iu continuous pre luction for seven years and we are I still harvesting from four to six cut-1 tings per year with a total weight of cured hay of approximately five to six tons per acre. The secret of estab lishing alfalfa Is to prepare the soil thoroughly, enrich it well with yard manure or the green leguminous crops turned under, lime very early, say at the rate of four tons of crushed rock | per acre, fertilize well before planting, particularly with acid phosphate, sow in the fall as near to the 1 >th of October as possible, and properly inoculate the seed before planting. Suggestions on tho Marketing of Products W. g. R., Vnldcstn, Ga., writes: Tl>? farmers in this county are complaining at not being able to dispose of their corn, peauqts, bay ami potatoes nt prices which will aot more than pay the cost of pro ducing. ’Pile boil weevil has possibly none greater damage in tuis county than else where and mere is no cotton mis year.

I would appreciate your help in this matter. As you probably know, the College of Agricuituie is only chaiged, in ma mat ter ot marketing, witn handling the edu cational side oi this proposition. w e are required to disseminate information relative to marketing advise about standards and grades, prepare and dis tribute bulletins on subjects of this character, and so aid the people in ac quiring that information wnicn will en able them to grow and prepare the va rious crops produced on their farms tor the market fn the. most acceptable man ner. If this can be done successfully it is obvious that a mucn better price will pertain for the articles produced on the farm, and there will be much less di fa ult v experienced in market ing the farmer’s surplus than la now experienced. The college is busily en gaged along this line, as you know, and has endeavored in every way to stay in the field assigned to it, which : is to promote tile educational propa ganda campaign as It pei’ianis to mar keting as vigorously as possible. Un- ( doubtedly some conrideralne success has ■ been attained in this direction, as the results along many lines amply demon strate. It is. of course, the privilege ■ and purpose of the college ena of the i organization to disseminate such in- , lormation as the Inited States bureau: of markets has gathered relative to the ( Market News service. As you know, work of this . character has been car ried forward -vigorously and success- •’ luliy. Having accomplished these ends we are restricted from going further by the act of tne legislature and the ex-I pressed wish of the various high off!-; clals in the state, of Georgia having charge of the reins of the government.! No doubt you recall nhat two years ago ; a bureau of markets was created as a I part of the state department of agricul- I • are, located in the Capitol building, At- ; •anta, Ga. This bureau is. as I under- ; stand it, under the supervision and gen eral direction of the Honorable. J. J. Brown, who bears the title of director of markets. As I understand the law and the plan of operation, this bureau is charged with the commercial end of all marketiiuj matters in Georgia. When , the farmer’s product is ready to be dis posed of it is the duty and the privilege of this buieau to find a satisfactory market for the same, to aid in its wise and proper dissemination, and so insure the farmer of obtaining a satisfactory return on what he offers for sale. The proposition which you have pre sented co my attention, therefore, is one beyond the province of the College of Agriculture and whidh belongs purely to the state bureau of markets,* Atlanta. Ga. In view of the large number of incuiries vou are receiving and the com plaints made to you relative to the diffi culty of farmers finding an accentable or profitable market for the surplus of various crops which they have produced in your section of the state, permit me to suggest that you should advise them to get in touch immediately with Mr. Jackson, of the state market bureau, who, bv reason of the responsibilities Imposed on him by Ihe law, will be glad to find a market Immediately for their crops and dispose of them in a manner which will best insure the larg est return to the farmers of your sec tion of the state. Returning Serbs Tell Stories of Suffering WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.—An officii’ dispatch today to the Serbian legation from Saloniki said Serbian prisoners were returning home from Bulgaria in a deplorable condition after three years of suffering and that many had died en route. The number of prisoners had not been determined, it was stated, because of the great haste of the Bulgarian govern ment to get them home as rapidly as possible so that Serbian military and government officials would not see the camps in which they had been living. "But unfortunately for the Bulgarian government,” the dispatch added, “other elements belonging to the allies lived alongside the Serbian prisoners and were eyewitnesses of the atrocities to which they were subjected. These al lied prisoners narrated stories that made one shudder.” In addition to prisoners of war, 200.- 000 civilians deported by the Bulgarian authorities are struggling home. Dash and Valor of Americans Praised ’ WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. —American operations north of the Argonne are re ceiving the praise of the French and British for their dash and valor. French cables today declared. The work of the Americans, it was j pointed out, is rapidly forcing a crisis | for the German troops remaining in i northern France and west of the Meuse in Belgium Paris and London military critics are of the opinion, according to the cables, that the pressure now being exerted against the Germans by the Franco- British to the east of Valenciennes and by the Franco Americans north of the Argonne will make it difficult for the Germans to put up resistance on the line of Aveanes-Hirson-Mezieres. American Troops Find Explosives in Church ON THE BRITISH FRONT IN FRANCE, Monday. Nov. 4. (Havas.)— American troops who occupied St. Mar tin-Riviere during the advance south of Le Cateau recently, discovered in the belfry of the village church a formidable charge of explosives. By means of wires the charge was connected with the mon strance on the high altar in such away that If the monstrance were moved an explosion which would have brought the church down upon the heads of the worshippers would have taken place.

In one mail sixteen clippings came to me. And better than all were the loving, tender words of remembrance to me personally. ’ln my old age I do not often weep—rareiy for trouble —but I do occasionally find glad tears creep ing down my aged cheeks, and when I gaw these dear letters, so full of k*nd thoughts for me. 1 was aware that glad tears are very easy to come —to an oc togenarian. In this place I desire to say that the "fiu ’ has been severe in our part of the state. We had some experience with it and three ne:ghboring houses have had from one to two cases. No death--, however, right about us, for which the Loid be praised! There is one type of influenza that is very stubborn and difficult to cope with. 1 allude to the sort that afflicts the head rather than the throat. It seems to concentrate inside the forehead ana ears, above the eyebrows, extending to the temples and ears. That sort of influenza I know some thing about. At one time, in 1884, I was so ill with it that Dr. 11. V. M. Miller, one of Georgia's great men and great doctors, looked after me. The pain became so violent that I could not see. My eyelids refused to work. At last the doetor procured Spanish leeches and placed five at one time just over my eyebrows and at the root of my nose. As the painful part could not be poulticed or treated with mustard or blisters, ho said it was necessary to draw away the congested blood that settled in these intricate frontal bones. The leeches brought away an astonish ing amount of this dark congested blood, and I was able to sleep again and my vision was restored. “The most excruciating toothache could only compare with what I endured when the influenza got to going in full tide. It was thus relieved. Infamous Bolshevik! Those of our Semi-Weekly readers who read the official order of the pres ent mob-rulers of Russia arc lullv aware of the condition of things dver there. But there are numbers who did not see the printed report, and 1 am writing for their information. The mob rulers are not content with executing the czar and looting and mur dering the intelligent and well raised people of that unhappy country, but they have entered into a deliberate and atrocious scheme-to beastialiEe the en tire population. The oficial order Is too long to print. I will try to give the substance briefly. All women over eighteen years are required to appear before a registrar in their section and give their names, ages and places of residence. Then all men so desiring, of any ago, can come forward and choose. The women over eighteen can choose out of the men who appear. These women, of child-bearing age, are compelled to live with such men long enough to insure a result. Then the children become the property of the state. In fact, they are to be the gun-fodder, the soldiers, for futura wars, and the hapless women are con tinned as beasts of burden, so long as they can bear children for the state. I was so indignant on reading this offi cial order, and so helpless in my indig nation that I could only pray: “Good Lord, save these poor women, or take hem out of the world by a plague." “Anything but this.” I cried. Anything in better than to be compelled to bear children under such revolting and beast ly conditions. My mind goes back to the claim and boast that Christian civilization was extending over all nations of the earth and to the islands of the sea, before this war began. It would appear that, Christian civil izatlon is fast disappearing in Europe, when we read of this official order of Russian rulers, and the treatment ac corded to helpless women in France and. Belgium. The terrible ravages of war. we see, are not confined to the killng of human kind by-the millions, or to the poverty and misery of helpless men, women and children, but the bestial appetites of wicked people are preying on the very lives of their own young women and lit tle children.

Ground feed is digested—it puts on that solid flesh that comes only from proper feeding—and none of it is wasted. Use an International Feed Grinder, which grinds corn on -Y the cob, small grain, or corn in the husk, to any degree of i c M fineness, and costs but little for power. i* There are three types of International feed grinders, each type in different sizes to meet all requirements. Type B grinds ' corn on the cob and small grain, and is made with 6,8, and 10-inch plates. Tyne C, for small grain only, is a high speed, ji a rapid-grinding mill, with 6 and 8-inch plates. Type D, the f S heavy grinder, is made for corn in the husk. It has a spiral i • cutter and 8 or 10-inch grinding plates. All International grinders are strongly built or steel, rein forced wherever necessary; arc provided with all necessary fi’ ■J safety appliances to prevent injury and breakage, and with & al! necessary attachments. When power is supplied by a ■ steady running, economical International Kerosene Eng ; nc, you could not have a better grinding outfit, or one that would do the work at less expense.
