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 ons is the shipping of small and poor 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 1 3 better lo keep small mploivs £nd poor quality stuff in general at home and feed to hogs than to ship to mar ket and got nothing for them. Water melon growers will do well to keep this one fact in mind. 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.
