course in Veterinary Medicine lead

The College has a splendid start

has been offered heretofore, and for
this there has been excellent provi

SHIPPING WATERMELONS.
J. W. Flror, Junior Professor Of Hor
ticulture, Georgia State College
Of Agriculture.
One of the greatest causes of un
satisfactory returns from watermel

quality melons to markets which can
only be reached with heavy freight
cost. Only hlfjh quality melons of
good sine should go to such cities, tt

Board Tells How To Kill
Truck Crop Pests Cheaply
Atlanta, Ga.—Truck farming and
homo gardening In Georgia are re
ceiving more attention each year and
steadily .growing in importance. Mel
ons, cabbages, peas, onions and succu
lent home-grown vegetables will add
to the prosperity of thousands of Geor
gia families, both in country and town,
this spring and summer. But inciden
tally tlie.-.e crops also will be the
means of supporting several million
bugs, spiders, worms, beetles and olh
er pests, in n life of sinful easo at the
expense of the truck farmer, unless
he declares war on them In Unto and
applies the preventive measures recom
mended by the State Board of Ento
mology.
State Entomologist E. l ee Worsham
has had prepared by his department
a bulletin in the form of an illustrated
booklet on truck crop pests in Geor
gia, which the board will be glad to
send to airy Georgia farmer or gar
dener on request.
He also offers the following prac
tical directions for use this spring,
which show that while Insect pests
are an Important factor to contend
with In truck farming, they can be
controlled with few exceptions at com
paratively little expense.
Root knot, which affects melons,
celery, beans, beets, cucumbers, pota
toes and similar crops, may be con
trolled by fumigating the seed beds
with carbon bisulphide, the process be
ing to punch nine or ten holes per
square yard, about a foot deep, and
pour into each about a tablespoonful
ot carbon bisulphide, filling the open
ing quickly and tramping under foot.
Another method is to sterilize the
earth with formalin, saturating the
soil thoroughly with one part of for
malin lo 100 gallons of water, as deep
as the roots will penetrate.
The harlequin cabbage bug. so call
ed because of his black, orange and
yellow markings, can be controlled
blah should be burned In Ihe winter.
Young newly hatched bugs may be
killed with a spray of len per cent
kerosene emulsion or "Black Leaf
40."
I’lant lice, or aphids, a group of In
sects which attack a great variety of
crops. Including melons and cabbages,
may be generally controlled effectively
by spraying with "Black Leaf 40,” a
nicotine tobacco product, using one
part to from 300 lo 600 gallons ot
water. Soap solution at the rate of
one pound to three or four gallons or
uater is also a reliable remedy. Th»
spray should be applied as a mist and
willi considerable force.
The mole cricket, one of the most
serious truck farm pests, Is best han
dled In a given area by plowing up
tlie breeding areas two or three times
during*tlie months of April, May and
June. Banding individual plants with
paper or tin cylinder affords absolute
protection. Poisoned baits made ot
cotton seed meal with arsenate of lead
or Paris green have proven beneficial.
The cut worm is a nocturnal marau
der which few gardens have escaped.
Preventive measures are best, and as
grass Is their natural food, garden and
sod land to be planted in truck
should be plowed and thoroughly pul
verized during the winter before plant
ing. Trapping them may be accom
plished by boards under which they
crawl, or by punching holes in the
soil near each plant with a stick. Poi
soned baits may also be used with
success. Full directions will be giv
en by the State Board of Entomology
on request.
The web worm, a comparatively
new pest in Georgia, feeds on the
crown or at the base of the leaves
of turnips, cabbages and beets. Spray
ing with arsenate of lead is effective,
with two pounds to fifty gallons of
water.
Cabbage worms and loopers should
be fought by dusting cabbage plants
only by contact poisons. Thoroughly with arsenate of lea 1 or Paris green

The squash bug, which is a tittle
over halt an inch long, dark brown
above and yellowish beneath, passes
the winter under rubbish and comes
forth in the spring to deposit con
spicuous brown colored eggs. All rub-
Aj-senical sprays are also effective
against cucumber beetles and flea bee

plants. The State Board of Entom.il

who will write for them.
