When was tne first newspaper?
That Is a question frequently asL

isfactorily answered, says the Macon
•News. There Is apocryphal authori
ty to the effect that a short-lived
paper was started during the reign
of Queen Elizabeth, toward the lat
ter part of the sixteenth century.
Encyclopedias generally discount
this, however, and say that tha first
newspaper had its origin about thlr-
ty-stx years later.
It la well-established that the
first paper published in the Arorlcan
colonies was Issued In Boston and
was known as “Publlck Occur

It is to the brilliant Intellect of
Julius Caesar that we may attribute
the first attempt at anything
sembllng the newspaper of today. Ho
started the Acts Dlurna—the dnlly
acts-ashort accounts of the dally
happenings in Rome. These no
tices, posted in public places, re
corded official commands, weather
conditions, brawls Involving prom!
nent personages, large fires, and all
of the other leading events of the
day.
That was unaouDtealy the nearest
likeness to a newspaper attained by
the andents. The next closes! step
'was taken In the fifteenth century,
when small news sheets wore posted
by unofficial persons. With the in
vention of type, there came tho Idea
of Issuing these posters regularly,
and the project was put Into execu
tion In tho early part of the seven
teenth century. One of the first and
most successful editors was no less
a distinguished person than Daniel
Defoe, the author of th* Immortal
Robinson Crusoe.

aftcr the second, using the selt-bolled
lime-sulphur solution alone, without
the arsenato of lead.
The last spraying for brown rot
should be made at least 30 days before
the fruit ripens.
If the curcullo is numerous and the
trees are hardy and strong, arsenate ot
lead may he added for the third spray
ing.
The entomological department be
lieves three sprayings necessary to
get the beBt results, bnt fairly good
results have been obtained from two
applications by using the self-boiled
lime-sulphur solution with arsenate of
lead Just after the calyces or shucks
have fallen, and a second application
of the same mixture about four weeks
later.

the mixture from becoming too thick
—from four to six gallons When the
lime is all slacked, which should be
within fifteen to twenty, minutes, stop
further cooking by diluting with cold
water. The mixture should then be
diluted with cqld water so as to make
a total of 150 gallons and strained. If
arsenate of lead Is to be added, use
0 pounds to 150 gallons after diluting
to the required amount The arsenate
of lead should be dissolved in a small
amount of water before bqlng added
to the mixture. If the cooking Is not
stopped when the lime Is slacked, tho
sulphur will continue to dissolve,
and the mixture may get strong
enough to t lnjure the peach foli
age. What Is wanted Is simply a good
mechanical mixture of the lime and
sulphur with as little of the latter
dissolved as possible. The straining
Is important and should be carefully
done so as to prevent the nozzles from
clogging while spraying. In straining
all the sulphur should be washed
through If possible.
Protecting the Applea
The principle enemies against which
apple growers have to fight In Geor
gia are the coddling moth or common
apple worm, apple scab, apple leaf spot
and bitter rot
Tho coddling moth Is an Insect pest
most extensively found on apple trees
and most destructive. This Insect
Is controlled by spraying with a solu
tion of arsenate of lead, practically the
vnme as with the peach, though the
best results can he obtained with the
apple only by using a nozzle throwing
a heavy, coarse spray, under high
pressure—from 200 to 300 pounds.
This pressure is necessary In order
to force the poisonous spray Into the
inner calyx so that the coddling moth
may be killed as it attempts to enter.
The best results are obtained by
using two pounds of arsenate of lead
to 60 gallons of water, to which should
be added a milk of lime solution made
of three pounds of stone lime. There
should be at least two sprayings with
this mixture; the first within a few
daya-atter the shedding ot the bloom
and the second a week or ten days
later than the first.
Fungus Diseases of Apple.
Apple scab and apple leaf spot de
structive fungus diseases seriously at
fectlng the trees and the fruit are con
trolled by the prepared lime and sul
phur solution spray. The first spraying
should be made with prepared lime and
sulphur solution (not the home-made
kind) at a strength of two gallons to
fifty gallons of water. Just before tho
cluster buds open. The second tpray-
lng should take place within two or
three weeks with the same solution at
a strength of one and one-half gallons
to fifty of water, and the third spray
ing three weeks later at the same
strength. It Is very necessary for both
of these diseases, to apply the first
spraying of lime-sulphur Just before
the cluster buds open and not watt un
til the full leaf crop unfolds, In or
der to Insure the best results. By add
ing 2 pounds of arsenate of lead to the
last two sprayings for scab and leaf
spot the Spray will also control the
coddling moth. Fertilization and clean
cultivation will render the trees more
resistant to these diseases.
Bitter rot is one of the most serious
diseases of the apple and Is more dif
ficult to control than leaf spot and
scab. It Is a fungus disease that eauses
the apples to rot some time before they
are matured, usually beginning in July.
It la controlled by the prepared time
and sulphur solution, the same at for
leaf spot and scab, but tor the most
effective control of It Bordeaux mix
ture should be used late In the season,
from July 1 on. The Bordeaux mixture
should not be used early In the season
because It Is liable to Injure the young
and tender apples. There should be
two ot three application of Bordeaux
at Intervals of two or three weeka
The Bordeaux mixture la made by
dissolving three or four .pounds of cop
per sulphate (bluestone) in a wooden
vessel containing twenty-five gallons
of water. The bluestone should bo
placed In a bag and suspended In the
water so that It will Just be submerged.
In another vessel four pounds of lime
should be slacked by adddlng a little
water at a time. Then strain the Urns
and dilute to 25 gallons with water.
Then pour the two mixtures together,
letting them mix as they fall Into the
receiving vessel. If arsenate of lead
Is to be added, It should be put in
last
Where only one or two trees are to be
sprayed a small hand spray may be
used, though with this the work Is
naturally slower and more tedious. In
the larger orchards barrel pumps hold
ing fifty gallons are generally employ
ed, while lp many of the big commer
cial orchards gasoline pumps are com
ing more and more Into use,
The principal object of this article
is to direct the attention of the peach
and apple grower to the fact that
spraying time Is about here, and If
perfect fruit is sought, the methods
described fnuat be followed carefully,
according to the necessities in each
ease. The state department of ento
mology will be glad to furnish detailed
Information concerning these matters,
whether you have only one tree or a

be able to make personal vtstts to

methods that should be used.
