water, and churning the mixture lUrse Farmers Grow Trick
■» a crpjunv! ®
As "there seems to be no little
alarm among the farmers of the
destructive worms and bugs, etc.
A few words on this subject may
be helpful I have just written
to the State Entomologist asking
him to hasten to us and give in
structions and all the aid he can.
If it is possible for him to get
here, I think he will be here be
fore this is printed.
Every year’s experience shows
conclusively that the farmers
must meet the new conditions,
be prepared for new duties, or
they will lose enormously. Every
one interested in the growth of
plants must recognize the neces
sity of spraying. As E. L. Wor
sham, State Entomologist, puts
it: “It is just as necessary for
us to spray as it is to prepare the
soil, cultivate, prune or ferti-i
lizc”.
The most common iusecticides i
are Paris green, London Purple, j
Slug-shot, White arsenic, Hollo-1
bore.Pyrethrum, Kerosene Emul
sion, Carbolic Acid and Bisul
phide of Carbon.
Unless the insecticide is prop-1
erly made for the right purpose (
and applied at the right time,
the results will not be satisfac
tory. Prepare your spray mix
ture and spray thoroughly, but
great care should be exercised in
the use of any prepared combi-
n ition of poisons.
You must take into considera
tion the two classes of insects
biting and sucking. If biting
like the potato beetle, caterpillar
and others, you must poison the
food which it eats. If the insect
sucks the plant, as the plant lice,
an insecticide must be used which
has a penetrating quality. Kero
sene emulsion is an example of
such an insecticide.
Kerosene Emulsion is prepared
by adding two parts of kerosene
to one part of a solution made by
dissolving half a pound cf hard
soap in cne ga'lon of boiling
uiitu the whole forms a creamy
mass, which will thicken into a
jelly-like substance on cooling.

Messrs. J. M. Laing and N * J. |
Smith returned a few days ago
from a fishing trip to St. Joe. (
They report a splendid time and j
more fish than three dozen men i
could have made way with.
One of the strange features!
was the bait getting proposition, 1
especially was this new to Mr. I
Laing. An old lady in the com-j
munity makes a business to fur-j
nish bait to fishermen. On this:
occasion Messrs. Laing and!
Smith went with her to watch!
the process. Her method is to;
drive a small board in the ground j
a few inches, leaving the top sev-;
eral inches above the ground, j
Then she takes a stick and draws j
it slowly across the top of the |
board, causing a vibration. This i
make the worms for some dis-!
tance around the board crawl j
oat in rapid order. This is said j
to be a sure method of catching j
the bait.
The strange thing to Mr. Laing
however, was the part he had to
take in the bait getting business.
Mr. Laing was notified that his
part in the work was to “keep
the snakes back”. He prepared
for it, and sure enough, the
snakes came as soon as the board
began to vibrate. The snakes
wqre small and of a peculiar type,,
but this did not keep the Georgia
fishermen from being very much
interested in the work of swat
ting them back to keep them
from eating up the worms. It is-
said that these little snakes,
which are very numerous in such
places, know exactly what is
happening when the process that
makes the worms crawl out is
going on, and they come wiggling
through the grass in great num
bers to get the worms.
As to the number of fish caught
on the trip Messrs Laing and
Smith would have to say. The
number they consumed at a cer
tain meal however, is quite an
interesting feature. Whether or
not they had a contest at this
particular meal is not known.
But the question is: If one of
them ate seventeen fish more
than the other consumed, how
many did they both eat?
