Take Better Care
Of Fruit Trees
For Bigger Yield
(yeorgians - should take better
care Of iieir £ruit trees and vine
vards to enable them to produce
more fruit to sgpply their family
needs and to fill local demands,
George H. Firor, horticulturist of
ihe Agricultural Extension Ser
vice, points out.
«Both rural and urban people
are learning rapidly to eat more
fruit for better health,” Firor said,
wand -many types of fruits are
peing planted in larger quantities
than ever before.
“Much interest is being shown
in the growing of muscadine
grapes at present,” the horticul
turist stated. “The scuppernong
and Hunt varieties are being
planted in such large quantities
that the demand for stock from
these varieties will probably ex
ceed the available supply for fall
and spring delivery.” :
Muscadine grapes that were
planted last fall and this spring
should be cultivated and fertilized
in order to produce a vigorous
vineyard, Firor pointed out. The
irellis should be established and
the vines trained. |
Many varieties of muscadine
grapes can be propogated by lay
ering them during July to produce
stock to set out next year, he de
clared. Layering consists of plac
ing canes of the current season’s.
growth in trehches and covering
them with four to six inches of
«oil. Leaves should be removed
from the portion of the cane that\
is to be placed underground. Roots
will form at the covered or joints‘
and the new plants will be ready
to cut loose from the parent vine
and taken up in December. 1‘
This month is one of the best
times to use nitrogen in thé vine
vard, the Extension worker assert
ed. “Apply at the rate of not
more than one-fourth pound of
any quickly available nitrogen
carrying fertilizer or one pound
of any good complete fertilizer to
each vine. Be -careful to keep the
fertilizer at least six inches from
the vines. :
“Peach trees should be given
an application of nitrogen each
vear after they finish producing,”
the horticulturist said. “Quickly
available nitrogen-carrying ferti
lizer should be applied at the rate
of one pound per tree during the
last of July or not later than the
first part of August and worked
into the soil under the spread of
the limbs with a disc harrow.
“Peach trees that are fertilized
each year after producing the crop
will not shed their leaves until
late in the summer and will be in
better physical condition to pro
duce a crop of peaches the follow
ing year,” Firor said.
Further information on growin%
fruit for family needs and loca
demand may be secured from
local county agricultural and home
demonstration agents or from the
Extension Service here.
Keep Close Check
On 801 l Weevils
Branyon Appeals
BY D. L. BRANYON
County Agent
Advising' Clarke county far
mers to keep a close check on the
boll. weevil infestation in therr
crops, D. L. Branyon, County:
Agent, this week urged -cotton
growers to follow an efficiant
poisoning program during ths
month, being guided by the wec
vil infestation. ’
Weevils do tremendous dam
age to young bolls which in most
cases is not revealed until the
bolls begin to open. Plant %ice or
aphids sometimes do material
damage to cotton which has been
poisoned. In® poisoning the boll
weevil some the natural enemics
of the plant lice or aphids are
killed. This usually occuzs only
in isolateq areas throughout the
State, but growers should keep
on the lookout for aphid damage.
_ Where aphid damage # occur-
Ing, a mixture of calcium arsen
ate and rotenone should be used.
It is best to purchase this mate
rial already mixed, but it can be
mixeq on the farm by adding
three to four pounds of rotenone
to 100 pounds of calcium arsen
ate and mixing thoroughly. '
This rotenone and cacium ar
senate mixture should be used
before the aphid infestation
builds up. After "the infestation
is sufficient to do real damage,
the use of this mixture will do
llilfiéle good in controllng the an

Urges Housewives i
To Can Peaches
Without Sugar
ATLANTA — Georgia house
wives need not be too upset by
the current sugar shortage, T.
Walter Hughes, state director. of
the U. S. Department of Agricul
ture’s Office of Supply (CCC),
said here .today in urging home
canners to take full advantage\
of this year’s bumper crop. |
“The peak movement of peaches |
is on hand,” he said, “and swift
action is needed to help prevent'
waste of this major ‘southern
crop.” g
Hughes pointed out that al
though the customary home can
ning formula calls for one pound
of sugar for each four quarts of
fruit, several alternate sugar
stretching methods could be fol
lowed.
Although sugar helps canned
peaches hold their shape, color and
flavor, it is not necessary to keep
the fruit from spoiling. Hughes
suggested that if sugar supplies
run low, a few cans of peaches
he put up without any sugar at
all, and sweetened to taste when
served. They should be processed
the same as sweetened peaches.
Hughes said that although ra
tioning regulations are designed to
allow a maximum of 15 pounds
of canning sugar per person, there
is no guarantee that supplies will
permit the full allowance.
‘ Complete canning instructions
can be obtained from Extension
Service home demonstration agents
‘throughout the state or from the
U. S. Department of Agriculture,
Office of Supply, Commodity
Credit Corporation, Western Union

Food Waste Must
Be Prevented
Nutritionists Says
Food conservation is a necessi
ty in a world at war, especially
when our Allies and people of
liberated countries are depending
on Amevica for part of their
food, Miss Susan Mathews, nu
tritionist of the Agricultural Ex
tension Service, deciared today,
urging Georgia homemakers to
prevent food waste.
. “In normal times Americans.
waste 125,000,000 pounds of food
daily from farm to table,” Miss
Mathews reported. “‘This quan
tity is egivalent to one-fourth of,
the food consumed in this coun
try and is not far from the
amount needed by the armed
forces and lend-lease commit
ments.” :
Individual preferences and
prejudices cause certain foods to
be discarded from almost every
plate, the nutritionist pointd out.
Throwing away too inany outer
leaves of some vegetables and
thick peelings of otheirs in pre-#
paring them for the table cause
still more waste. Careless us, of
the refrigerator, making it a
“way station” on the road to the‘
garbage can, is another way food
ig wasted. l
«“While we cannot eliminate all
losses of food in transportation |
and all damage of food crops by ‘
insects and rodents, we can Ssave.
by being careful about ihe
amount of good food wich finds{
its way into the garbage can,
enough to feed approximately
15,000,000 hungry people in war
devasted countrles and ' under
nourished people in out own
country,” Miss Mathews declar-‘

Music Appreciation
By Large Audience
Hour Enjoyed
Thursday’s nusic Appreciation
program was a ygal reward for
those who attended; so the audi
ence seemed to feel, for jhere was
real appreciation in evidence, and
the players being sensitive f@ the
listener’s moods gave of their besu.
Performing artists on this pro
gram were: Hugh Hodgson, direc
tor of the Music Appreciation
Hour, Carolyn Voshell and Betty
Mitchell, violinists, Rudolph Kra
tina, ’cellist, Ed Liniger, double
bass, Harris Mitchell, French horn,
‘and Michael McDowell, as Mr.

Of course everyone enjoys
Chopin—so often called the tone

lfrom the Prelude, Etude, Nocturne,
Waltz( Mazurka and Polonaise as
well as the E minor Concerto were
given.
First, a word of praise for the,‘
lensembles who, as Mr. Hodgson,
| describes them, work as “one ‘
will.” Then, to Hugh Hodgson,
our director we are due tribute,}
because his amazing skill as a
performer, his creative ability (he
arranged. the “Romanza” from the
E minor Concerto for strings and
horn, wrote the Rondo movement
from his “Trio in G,” and. helped
Wrubel’s “The Lady in Red,”
which he has arranged for two
pianos, by certain extra “boogie
woogie” touches) inspire each one
coming under the sphere of his in
fluence. Truly Mr. Hodgson is an
example of “the exception to the

One Variety Cotton
Groups Urged To
Seek U. S. Service
Georgia one-variety cotton 'lm-|
provement association desiring to !
take advantage of the free cottnn
classing service offeredq by ‘he !
government must make applica
tion before August 1, E. C. West
brook, cotton specialist of the
Agricultural Extension Service,
declared today. 3
“This free classing service
which is offered to organized
one-variety groups is a big help
to the cotton producer.” West-l
brook said. “The classing card
giving the grade and staple helps
growers in marketing their cot
ton. The classing card on the
cotton will be acceptable on any
government loan or purchase
program.”
Samples submitted for classirg
this year must be obtained from
both sides of the finished bales
and the sampling must be done
by a bonded sampler, the cotton
specialist pointed out. Last year
samples obtained from the press
box were acceptable and it was
not necessary for the sampler to
{ be bonded. .
‘ “Any one-variety group which !
has not submitted its application |
’for the free classing service
should contact its county agent
immediately,” Westbrook salld.‘
Last year 143 Georgia ‘one-vame-'
ty communities were approved
for the free classing service. |

To Be Discussed
In Conference Here

tries for Georgia’s small towns,
particularly the rural industry
type. He has prepared a list of
101 such industries that can be
developed in Georgia. They in
clude these four types of develop
ment: (1) Plants and equipment
for processing farm products; (2)
plants for making, and services
for distributing farm supplies;
(3) buildings, equipment and ser
vices for the efficient marketing
of all farm products; (4) farm and
home service plants and equip
ment.
The .four types of rural indus
tries have been broken down into
individual groups by Dean Chap
man and these will be discussed
at the two-day conference here.
The agriculture professor said that
he planned to have qualified ex
perts give lectures and conduct
panel discussions on every group.
“More rural industries for Geor
gia mean more jobs, better mar
keting, lower farm production
costs, better prices for farm prod
ucts, larger outlets for raw ma
terials and improved living stan
dards,” Chapman declared.
A full schedule of speakers will
be announced later.
