BROWN IS URGING
THE USE OF PEAS
Says Soldier Are Now De
prived of a Food to Which
They Have Been Long
Accustomed.
Atlanta, Ga., May 29.—1n view of
the large amount of field or cow peas
held by the farmers of Georgia, the
state hurea uof markets, of the Geor
gia department of agriculture, has just
addressed an urgent letter to the sub
sistence division of the war depart
ment at Washington, urging the use of
this valuable and nutritious product as
a part of the army ration.
It is pointed out that thousands of
soldiers who were regular consumers
of these field peas, have gone into the
army and rae now deprived of a food
to which they were long accustomed,
since the army furnishes only a white
bean commonly called the navy bean.
For this white bean the government
pay saround 12 cents per pound, while
the well-known Georgia field peas can
he had at about 5 cents a pound.
The market bureau’s letter quotes
figures to show that the field pea is of
higher nutritious value than the navy
bean. It is richer in protein, carbo
hydrates and fat, the three essential
food elements. While the navy bean
shows a total of 71.9 per cent digestible
food matter, the cow pea shows 70.4
per cent and it is also much easier to
prepare for consumption.
While it is impossible to state accu
rately just what quantity of Weld peas
are now being held, the bureau states
it is within the bound of reason to esti
mate it at around twenty-five million
pounds.
The use of these field peas as an
army ration would give the govern
ment a better food value at a cost of
less than fifty per cent of that of navy
beans and would, at the same time,
save the farmers a loss of many hun
dreds of thousands of dollars. A fur
ther god effect would be t oencourage
the South to continue planting food
crops.
The department has been asked to
give the matter immediate attention
as the situation is growing very seri
ous.
In tilt* current market bulletin of tlie
slate bureau of markets attention is
called to the fact tljat the harvesting
and shipping season for Irish potatoes
is near at hand. Growers in nearly ev
ery section of the state will soon be
gathering their crop for mraket. In
this connection, the department points
out that it is vitally important that the
crop be properly harvested, graded and
packed. Proper attention to all of
these factors means better prices to
the grower. The same rules apply to
harvesting and marketing of other
truck crops.
The bulletin carries an extensive list
of Georgia growers who have new
Irish potatoes for sale in large qaunti
ties. A campaign has been conducted
urging the wide general use of the
Irish potato as a food, and the food
administration otlicials believe it win
have some effect.
Growers of Irish potatoes who are
not familiar with the grading rules,
should call on the state bureau of mar
kets Wor this information. It will be
furnished promptly upon request.
If Georgia consumers would insist on
havingmeal ground from Georgia corn,
it would prove of distinct advantage to
them, as well as to the state, according
to the Georgia department of agricul
ture.
Georgia earn is notoriously sweeter
ami more wholesome than western
corn and these qualities are. of course,
carried into the meal ground from it.
Georgia corn, too, is generally free
from the trouble that has arisen in con
nection with large quantities of west
ern corn and western meal shipped in
to Atlanta, which have become fer
mented and useless for food. Thous
ands of pounds of this western corn
and meal have been recently seized and
condemned by the pure food depart
ment.
Resides getting a better product, the
consumer of meal who demands that
from Georgia corn, causes a saving in
transportation charges and encourages
Georgia food production which, just at
this time is an important factor.

SPECIAL SERVICES RENDERED
BY GA. BOARD OF ENTOMOLOGY
What The Board Has Done And Is Doing To
Save Food, Fruit And Cotton Crops From
Injurious Insects And Diseases
Atlanta, Ga., May 21.—(Special.) —
The people of Georgia, especially
farmers and' fruit growers, ought to
be well posted on the variety and ex
tent of the services offered to them
through the State Board of Entomol
ogy —services for which there*is no
charge and which have saved the
state, or its individual citizens, in the
last twenty years, many millions of
dollars.
The Georgia State Board of Ento
mology was established in 1898 with
an initial appropriation of only $2,500.
It had then only a state entomologist
and a stenographer. Today it has grown
into a splendidly efficient organization
of fifteen, including state entomolo
gist, assistant, experts, station super
intendents, stenographers and others,
and handles annually a state appro
priation of $50,000.
Generally speaking the work of the
state board may be classified as in
spection work, enforcement of quar
antine regulations, investigations look
ing to the control of injurious plant
insects, and experiments for the con
trol of plant diseases.
To Save Food Crop*
The particular purpose of this ar
ticle is to call the attention of farm
ers and fruit growers to the service
the state board of entomology renders,
so that there may be a wider applica
tion of It right now to prevent the de
struction by insects and diseases of
food and fruit crops so badly needed
by Georgia and the country.
The inspection work includes in
spection of the 115 nurseries in the'
state, as well as foreign shipments
into Georgia, to prevent the dissemi
nation of injurious insects and plant
diseases. In addition, many peach and
app4e orchards, private grounds in city
and country, truck farms and cotton
fields are inspected at the request of
owners, and directions given regard
ing the control of any plant diseases
or insects discovered in them.
Quarantine regulations which are
enforced by the board relate to the
boll weevil and cotton products from
fhfe*ted sections, to the shipment of
nursery stock within the state and
from other states; to the pine blister
rust, the sweet potato weevil and the
foul brood of bees.
Insects And Diseases
The department experi
ments under the direction of W. W.
Chase, and furnishes information re
lating to the control of peach insects,
such as curculio, peach-tree borer,
shot-hole borer and San Jose scale;
apple insects, such as codling moth,
flat and round-headed borer, apple
aphis, woolly aphis, San Jose and oth
er scale insects; Hessian fly in wheat,
and, Anally, garden and all crop in
sects and those which attack shade
trees, timber trees, shrubbery and
flowers.
Plant diseases have been given a
great deal of time and careful atten
tion by the board. Among these may
be mentioned bitter rot, scab, leaf
spot, cedar rust and crown gall of the
apple; brown rot, scab, leaf curl,
crown gall and nematode galls of the
peach; various pecan insects and dis
eases; diseases of field and garden
plants such as potato blight, tomato
wilt, black rot of cabbages; and, final
ly, the diseases which have proven so
destructive to cotton, such as wilt, an
thracnose and leaf spot or black arm.
Reducing Cotton Wilt
State Entomologist A. C. Lewis has
devoted much time each season since
1906 to cotton wilt and Its control. Mr.
Lewis has succeeded In breeding six
new strains which are wilt-resistant —
four hybrids, including D'.x-Aflfl, Lewis
63, Dillon Hybrid and Hendley's
Choice; and two, by selection. Mo
dells and DeSoto. Covtngton-Toole,
now known as Councll-Toole, has also
been greatly improved by selection.
These wilt-resistant strains originat
ed and distributed by the board of
entomology, are now saving the cotton
growers of Georgia millions of dollars
each year. Thus the annual loss from
wilt to Georgia has already been re
duced from $1,600,000 in 1906 to $500,-
000 in 1917, due directly to the work
of the board.
Value of Variety Tests
The variety cotton tests conduct
ed by the department are proving of
immense value. The purpose of these
tests is to develop strains of cotton
which are both early maturing in or
der to meet boll weevil conditions and
wilt-resistant; and in addition to find
out which are best adapted to maxi
mum yield in particular localities.
These variety tests are now being con
ducted at Thomasville and Valdosta,
where the board has two stations in
charge of Cotton Specialist Ira W.
■Williams. Experiments at the Valdos
ta station are confined to sea island
cotton.
The variety tests at Vienna, Amer
iois, Lumpkin and Brunswick, togeth

County Testa.
A special effort is being made by
the Board of Entomology In many
counties to develop and breed up
strains of cotton that can be grown
successfully under boll weevil and wilt
conditions in Georgia. In each of
these counties one or two cotton grow
ers * provide from five to ten acres
which are planted in seed furnished
by the department. From these cot
ton tests it is being ascertained what
varieties are best adapted to each
county, and a party is secured, who,
In a few years, will become a source
of seed supply from whom others in
that community may purchase seed of
a variety adapted to their aoil and cli
mate.
In this connection attention may be
called to the fact that the Depart
ment of Entomology is giving special
directions, whenever called for, with
regard to growing cotton under boll
weevil conditions. These county
tests are being conducted under the
direction of Messrs. Williams
and McLendon in 130 counties. The
department has adopted this plan of
distributing seed. Instead of sending
out seed In bushel lots as heretofore.
Dusting for 801 l Weevil
In addition to the work on differ
ent Insects as already outlined, the
board of entomology Is conducting this
Season extensive experiments on dust
ing with arsenate of lead and other
materials for the control of the boll
weevil. This work is being done to
determine if it is possible to develop
a more thorough, efficient and cheaper
method of controlling the boll weevil
than that now usually recommended.
Assistant Entomologist W. V. Reed,
engaged particularly in the work on
garden truck, is in charge of spraying
experiments at Griffin, for the con
trol of the Mosaic disease of pimento
peppers. Mr. Reed, however, is giv
ing most of his time to the sweet po-
tato weevil, which so far has made
its appearance in only one county in
the state —Charlton. Special efforts
are being made to exterminate this
insect, which is to the sweet potato
what the boll weevil is to cotton, or
at least to keep it within its present
limits.
Reducing Food Losses
The board of entomology this year
is making extraordinary efforts to as
sist everyone in the control of insects
and plant diseases, so as to reduce
the losses from these sources to a
minimum. This work is just now more
important than ever because of the
necessity that every possible pound
of food crops shall be raised and ma
tured; and with proper effort most'of
the ten to twenty per cent of the
crop which is thus annually destroyed,
may be saved.
For these reasons we urge everyone
who finds an insect or plant disease
working on their crops, to send at
once a specimen for identification to
the board of entomology. Specimens
of insects should be sent by mail in
a tin box so that they will not be
crushed or mutilated on the w’ay.

DR. FORRESTER PREACHED
TO LARGE AUDIENCE SUNDAY
Rev. Graham Forrester, D. D., of
Montezuma, arrived in Winder Satur
day afternoon and while in the city
was entertained in the hospitable lu.me
of Mr. and Mrs. John M. Williams on
Athens street.
The large auditorium was filled with
school children, their parents and
friends Sunday.
Miss Tumlin, assisted by members of
the various choirs of the city, arranged
and presented some specially tine
music.
The sermon was a gem and was most
favorably commented upon by the large
audience who heard it. I)r. Forrester
is an original thinker and a forceful
speaker and brought a masterly ser
mon and one peculiarly appropriate to
the occasion.
At night .lie preached at the First
Baptist church, all the churches called
off their services, and the preacher
brought another timely message from
Amos 8 ill—“I will send a famine in
the land, not a famine of bread, nor of
water, but of hearing the word of God.”
With prophetic skill the speaker
drew a picture of present time and com
pared them to the days when Israel
went astray and came hack to God. He
spoke of the Sabbath as being a forgot
ten day. Of the automobiles and pic
ture shows as pleasures absorbing the
interest of the masses. Of divorce and
the white slave traffic ,of their heart
fulness to Belgium and France and
Germany and England and of their ef
fect on us, and gave as the absolute
and only remedy a turning back to
God and living according to his com
mandments.
I)r. Forrester made for himself a
large place in our hearts and many
friends who will gladly welcome him
back again.
