Bhe principal experiments on pe

3-3-S' 1 was used as a spray. Four

giv;n a different number of treat

Half Your Living
Without Money Cost
A right or wrong start in 1915 will
make or break most farmers in the
Cotton States. We are all facing a
crisis on cotton. Cotton credit is up
set. The supply merchant cannot ad
vance supplies on 1915 cotton. You
must do your best to produce on your
own acres the food and grain supplies
that have made up most of your store
debt in the past.
A good piece of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay half your living. It will
save you more money than you made
on the best five acres of cotton you
ever grew! But it must be a real
garden, and not the mere one-plant
ing patch in the spring and fa;:.
Hastings’ 1915 Seed Book tells all
about the right kind of a money-sav
ing garden and the vegetables to put
in it. It tells about the field crops
as well and shows you the clear road
to real farm prosperity, comfort and
independence. IT’S FREE. Send for

The only way to prevent the pecan
or hickory nut weevil, which bores
holes in the nuts, from spreading, is
to box up the infected nuts so that
the larvae cannot get into the
ground.
Considerable experimental work has
been done during the past year on
the pecan shuck worm. This insect
winters over on the ground in the old
shucks. This sugests fall plowing as
a remedy and last fall a number of
the insects were buried at different
depths. Notes will be taken in the
spring to determine the number kilted.
THE HUMAN SIDE.
What the most of us down at the

human touch of it. Asa review of

nations with which we touch elbows,
as an earnest of our purpose to serve
the now warring peoples of Europe,
when time for service is come, what
Mr. Wilson had to say could not
have been better said, and no presi

DIVERSIFICATION
STOPS ROOT KNOT
State Board Of Entomology Tells Of
Disease That Attacks Many
Plants.
Atlanta, Ga. — (Special.)—Georgia
cotton planters, especially where the
soil is sandy, have had considerable
trouble with the disease known as
root knot, caused by minute eel worms
or nematodes, which bore into, the
roots and live there. The irritation of
their presence results in the formation
of irregular swellings or galls, varying
in size from tiny enlargements on
the smaller roots to knots an inch or
more in diameter on the large ones.
Unlike wilt, or black root, root knot
attacks a very large number of plants,
many of which are important farm
crops, says State Entomologist E. Lee
Worsham. The crops most severely at
tacked by root knot include soy beans,
beets, cantaloupe, carrots, celery, bur
clover, crimson clover, cow pea (all
varieties except Iron and Brabham
and other Iron hybrids), cucumber,
eggplant, figs, lettuce, okra, peaches,
pecans, pomegranate, potato, salsify,
squash, tobacco, tomato, watermelon.
Plants less severely injured by root
knot include the following: Alfalfa,
asparagus, lima bean, snap bean, cab
bage, sweet clover, collard, cotton,
mulberry, onion, garden pea, sweet po
tato, radish, spinach, strawberry, su
gar cane, common vetch, vetch.
The male worms are too small to
be seen by the naked eye, but the
female when full of eggs assumes a
spherical shape and may be often dis
tinguished in freshly broken roots as
glistening bodies half the size of a
pin head. Each female lays several
hundred eggs. Root knot is essentially
a disease of light or sandy soils. It
may be transferred from one field to
another by any agency which will car
ry the nematode or their eggs. It
may be spread by drainage water or
introduced by nursery stock.
Controlled By Rotation
It has been repeatedly demonstrated
by many farmers that root knot can
be controlled by the use of proper
crop rotations. The principles on
which such rotations are based are
the use of crops immune to nematode
attacks until the nematodes are suf
ficiently reduced so that crops sus
ceptible to them may be profitably
grown; and in the second place, the
removal of all weeds subject to root
knot. The use of crops that will re
turn a profit and the building up of the
fertility of the soil are also import
ant considerations. If the land is
very badly infested with nematodes
as w r ell as wilt, a two or three year
rotation with tenmune crops is rec
ommended before susceptible crops in
cluding cotton are grown. In one or
tw'o years thereafter t,he rotation with
immune crops should be repeated. Im
mune crops, alternated with suscepti
ble ones, will reduce the nematode in
jury to a minimum.
The following crops are largely or
entirely immune to root knot: Barley,
velvet bean, beggar weed, chufas,
corn, Brabham cow r pea, Iron cow pea,
Iron hybrid cow* pea, bermuda grass,
crab grass, grasses (nearly all), kaf
fir, millets (nearly all), milo, winter
oats, peanut, rye, sorghum, wheat.
The farmer generally will have to
w'ork out his own problem as to rota
tions, depending on location, but the
State Board of Entomology will be
glad at all times to furnish any pos
sible assistance or information.
