Peach Spraying Time Here
To Control Orchard Pests
Atlanta, Ga., March —(Special).—Georgia's annual average yield of 5,000
Carloads of peaches is in splendid demand at good prices the country over,
because Georgia grows a perfect fruit. Georgia’s peaches are perfect because
the fruit is properly cultivated and, more important still, it is properly and
systematically sprayed.
Where the fruit is not so sprayed, it is not perfect, it is less desirable and,
If marketable at all, it brings an inadequate and far from satisfactory price.
"Whether you have one tree or a whole orchard, spraying is equally necessary,
if you would have perfect peaches. There is no other way.
The State Board of Entomology has just prepared anew bulletin on the sub
ject of peach pests and diseases, together with preventive remedies. This
bhlletin which is the most exhaustive treatment of the subject the depart
ment has yet published, will be mailed to anyone interested upon application.
, The Most Common Pests.
Prevalence of peach pests and diseases varies in different sections of the
state and, often, in different even though neighboring orchards. The most
common pests and diseases including San Jose scale. Plum Curculio, brown
rot, scab, terrapin scale and peach leaf curl, are controlled by spraying;
the peachtree borer, and other very common pests, the shot hole borer and
the nematode worm must be controlled by mechanical means.
The best control for San Jose Scale is spraying with the lime-sulphur solu
tion. Where the trees are badly infested, there should be two sprayings,
one in the fall and the other known as the “winter or dormant” spraying
within the last three weeks before the bloom buds, begin to open. In most
sections of the state these buds are already oi>en, so that it is too late to
spray for the scale at this time —the latter part of March.
The peachtree borer is the insect that bores into the and lives on the
eap wood and bark. His presence is indicated by the common gummy exuda
tions on the trees. Mounding and worming are the only effective methods
01 dealing with him. The building of cone-shaped, compact dirt mounds
around the trees about the middle of August, prevents the larvae or young
worms from getting into the base of the tree. The latter part of October
finds most of the worms on the outside of the tree, above the mound, under
gum and other protection, where they are easily removed by scraping with
a.worming hook. _
Spraying Tree Now.
The important pests to which orchardmen should give attention right now
hy spraying are plum curculio, brown rot and peach scab. The curculio is
the well known insect which causes wormy peaches. Brown rot is
a fungus disease which attacks blossoms, twigs and fruit. The fruit finally
rots and falls to the ground. Peach scab is a common skin disease, par
ticularly of late maturing varieties, rendering the fruit unsightly and less
salable.
The spray for curculio should be applied just as the shucks are shedding.
Use 3-4 of a pound of powdered arsenate of lead (or 1 1-2 pounds lead paste)
and three pounds of- lump lime, to 50 gallons of water. Use a wide nozzle
throwing a fine mist; thoroughly cover but do not drench the trees.
For brown rot, curculio and scab, spray four weeks after the petals drop,
or about three weeks after the first spraying for curculio, with home-cooked
lime —sulphur solution and powdered arsenate of lead in the proportion 8
pounds lime, 8 pounds sulphur and 1-2 pound arsenate of lead to 50 gallons
of water. Thid same spray should be again applied, for same diseases, about
one month before the ripening period. The disc opening of the nozzle this
time should be slightly larger so as to give coarser spray and heavier coating
to the fruit.
The shot hole borer is an insect which bores into the tree very much as
if it had been struck by a bird shot. The only effective control is to cut out
*nd burn infested limbs.
Peach Leaf Curl.
Peach leaf curl, a foliage disease, attacks the leaves, causing them to curl,
to become discolored and finally drop to the ground. It is controlled by the
lime-sulphur spray used for San Jose scale. If there is no scale, a weaker
solution of the same spray will suffice.
For peach crown gall, terrapin scale and nematode worm, which are le s
Common, see bulletin for directions.
For spraying for scale where lime-sulphur solution is used, the ime-su phur
concentrate has taken the place of the old-fashioned home-made lime-sulphur
solution. The concentrate is made by cooking 100 pounds sulphur and fifty
pounds of lime in 50 gallons of water, and this is then dihitedto 350 or 400
gallons as needed. Kept air tight, the concentrate will last for a long time.
For spraying for scale where lime-sulphur solution is used, the lime-sulphur
Spraying time is here. If you have much of it to do send for the new
bulletin.
PERSIAN WOMEN.
(By Rev. W. H. Faust)
In the midst of a great free na
tion where our women are loved and
honored, it is seldom that one stops
in this hustling, commercial age to
think of what is going on in other
nations.
Our women occupy a place that
women in other nations dare not
dream of reaching and our mothers
and sisters in the fullest sense of
the word are free.
Turn your mind to Persia with its
customs and habits and what do w r e
see? With all that is pessimistic
there are great slanting rays of light
breaking in upon the fearful darkness
The middle classes and the wealthier
and more powerful women have a
hard time, so do the poorer ones, but
it is always darkest just before dawn
iMiss Mary Markovitch has the fol<
lowing to say about the poor women
of Persia that interests us.
‘‘Love reigns in these miserable
homes. The unfortunate peasant
finds in his wife really a better half,
a guardian angel, modest but helpful,
humble but doing good. Acquainted
with only rough daily labor, he finds
in her his sole source of happiness
and joy. Scorned by all, he consti
tutes her his pure and beloved foun
tain of honor. In the mud cottaf
on the earthen floor of its single
room, that separation which custom
and fashion have created in the dwel
ling of the rich is impossible.
Their lives and hearts are one. From
morning to evening prayer they live,
work, suffer together, and out of
this community of humble delights
and secret suffering grows a com
munity of souls, unknown in the
mansions of the rich.
In regard to them, the revolution
that emancipates the man will at the
same time emancipate the woman,
for of them it may well be said: “Al
though two, they are but one flesh.”
It is daybreak everywhere relative
to the emancipation of women. God’s
hour has struck for woman’s freedom
as surely as the boom of the cannon
yonder at Sumpter sounded forth the
death knell of slavery.
We have reached the zenith of our
glory in America until we allow
women the same privileges as man.
The superior never rises proportion
ately higher than the inferior rises.
Peace, Political Preference, Prohi
bition are coming everywhere.
Sign of Good Digestion.
When you see a cheerful and hap
py old lady you may know that she
has good digestion. If your diges
tion is impaired or if you do not
relish your meals take a dose of
Chamberlain Tablets. They strength
en the stomach, improve the diges
tion and cause a gentle movement of
the bowels. Obtainable everywhere.
Two Important Matters
“Now, Katie, do you know enough
to keep your mouth shut?” asked the
fashionable woman of the girl she
was about to engage.
“Well, ma'am, I know enough to
all right, but the question is, Do I
get enough wages to encourage me
to?’’ —Yonkers Statesman.
You occasionally see it stated that
colds do not result from cold weath
er. That is rank foolishness. Were
it true colds would be as prevalent
in midsummer as in midwinter. The
microbe that causes colds flourishes
in damp, cold weather. To get rid
of a cold take Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy. It is effectual and is high
ly recommended by people who have
used it for many years as occasion
required, and know its real value.

TWO MEN OF POWER
(W. H. Faust.)
Asa lad at the court house at Lex
ington, Ga., I heard at that time a
young man make a political speech
that caught and held the great audi
ence. In later years as a student in
Loiusville, Ky., I heard a minister
speak to a great throng of people and
hold them spellbound for an hour.
Then I realized I was in the presenc
of masters. Those men were Tom
Watson and Sam Jones. Both long
since famous in the political and re
ligious world. In looking through a
few old magazines some days ago, 1
ran across Watson’s tribute to Sam
Jones on his 50th birthday. It is
classic and deserves to be read by
all lovers of good literature. Just a
few extracts therefrom:
“What is the secret of his power?
No one can tell, least of all himself.
Who can tell the secret of the laws
by which one throat has the hoarse
caw of the crow, and another the gu
gling sweetness of Jenny Lind? Who
can tell why one boy can declaim
Patrick Henry and put the audience
to sleep, while another boy will de
claim the same speech and break up
the same audience into storms of
applause? Men of talent have their
rules, their little adages, their prim,
precise regulations. Give them cer
tain materials and certain conditions
and they are warranted to turn you
out a certain amount of work. They
are valuable men —perhaps the most
valuable, for everyday purposes. W
need them; can not get along with
out them. They build good bridges,
make good roads, open the mines
run the factories, operate the rail
roads, cut our coats, make dresses
for our wives, sit in our courts, draw
salaries in our offices, usually act
as governors, colonels, presidents.
“But oh„ the men of genius. What
would the world be without them?
They carry the fleeting glories of
nature into the imperishable custo
dy of the canvas; they catch the
passing dream of bea.uty and chain
it forever in the marble hands of he
statue. They sing to us and the
world listens, delighted, melted, in
spired. They play for us and the
light of their thoughts illuminates th
way for all men down the corridors
of time, til time shall be no more.
The man of talent we must have, for
life has its routine, its drudgery, its
drays to draw, its wood to hew, its
wheels to turn, its prosaic common
places which must be regarded. But
what would life be without its bugle
calls to lighten and better things, th
sunbursts of inspiration which re
veals to our delighted vision the high
tablelands of human nobility and hu
man happiness; the divine unwritten,
noiseless music within our innermost
natures which only the man of ge
nius can make?
“If we were asked to analyse the
power of Sam Jones we would say
that the chief elements are clear
mental vision, fearless soul, kind
heart, and unbridled, irrevelent, wit
ty tongue. His good eyes enable
him to see the world just as it is;
its sad things, its funny things, its
sham things, its brutal things, its
terrible things, its beautiful things
His fearless soul leads him to de
cide what he sees, and the immense
force of truth and realism becomes
his ally. His kind heart enables him
to denounce yet not drive away, to
chastise, yet love, to punish, yet win
the culprit. His want of reverence
for other men, their ways of speech
and of life, unchains him from the
shackles of can’t, custom routine and
conventionality; it frees him from im
itation. He thus gets room for his
own individuality to grow, ihs own
fountain to play. Being freed en
tirely from the chains which enslave
so many thousands of public men,
his genius shines like a star —inex-
haustible, radiant.
“Put Talmage in one pulpit and
Jones in another to deliver one ser
mon in the same city, at the same
time, and Talmage might equal Jones
in that one sermon and might get
half of the crowd for that one
time. But let them start in to preach
a series of thirty to sixty sermons in
the same city at the same time, and
before a week could elapse 'lalmage
would have nobody in his church but
the salaried choir, the deaf man in
the amen corner, and the janitor
Jones would capture the whole busi
business. His sermons would grow
better day by day, as his genius ex
panded, his thoughts intensified and
his heart warmed to the work. You
could no more exhaust Jones than
you could exhaust a star; while Tal
mage like all speakers of mere tal
ent, is filled for the occasion, like a
lamp and when that particular sup
ply is burned out you must wait for
light til the poor thing can be filled
again.
“Here’s to you Sam Jones!
“Some day we shall meet beyond
the evening and the sunset and the
Creator of us both know that not
one only of us tried to lift humanity
and to make it better, wiser, happier
And because one, only succeeded
there is no good reason why the
failure should not be generous and
send greetings to the success.”
One has long since gone to his re
ward and his praises are on the lips
of all. The other of these two intel
lectual geniuses still is with us in
his prime and power. When we get

There is more Catarrh In this section of
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced It a
local disease and prescribed local reme
dies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it incur
able. Science lias proven Catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore re
quires constitutional treatment. Hall’s
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Cos., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
Constitutional cure on the market. It is
taken Internally. It acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for any
case It fails to cure. Send for circulars
