SUPPORT FAIR SAYS
MRS. L. D. SINGLEY
Editor Progress: Please allow
me space in your most valuable
paper to appeal to the people of
Butts county in behalf of the
fair to be held sometime this
fall. Last year was the first en
deavor to hold a fair in this coun
ty and on account of the war
scare and the depressed price of
cotton, it was thought best by
managers to have one day, but
this year we have been promised
as much as three days.
I want to ask every man. wo
man and child of our county to
rally to the support of Prof.
Worsham, who has worked so
earnestly for the benefit of our
people. It seems to me that
there is nothing so important as
a county fair. Every county that
has established a permanent an
nual fair has advanced by leaps
and bounds. Now we have es
tablished the boys corn club and
girls canning club, also pig clubs
and I believe our people will sup
port a county fair, which will do
more to advance agricultural in
terest, as well as poultry and
live stock, than anything else
that could be done.
We have more and better live
stock than we had last year.
The schools should make a good
showing. We can begin now to
prepare something; set aside a
sheaf of wheat or oats, a stalk of
corn or cotton; get the children
a pig or chicken.
Perhaps there is some that
failed to join the clubs that could
enter something grand; and the
ladies must not fail with their
fancy work. We want as many
of our farmers as possibly can to
place an agricultural display,
and then we can put as many of
the small collections as we can
together and have a fair that
will equal any in the state.
If there is any one that has
pure bred poultry of any kind
I ask them to write Mr. L. L.
O’Kelley or myself a card as it
will be impossible for us to make
a thorough canvas of the county.
In conclusion I again appeal to
every one for help of some kind.
Very truly.
Mrs. L. D. Singley,
Jackson, Ga.. Rt 1, Box 17.

The series of meetings that

College Advice Saved Him Money
T. H. McHatton, Professor Horticul
ture, Ga. State College Of Agr.
A large orchardist in northeastern
Georgia recently stated that he had
sprayed an orchard of 210 acres and
had killed 98 per cent of the San
Jose scale, the cost being $342.35, or
$1.63 per acre. He followed direc
tions of the Horticultural Department
of the Georgia State College of Agri
culture, and made his own spray ma
terial at a cost of 4 cents a gallon..
The best price he could obtain, ac
cording to his statement, from com
mercial concerns was 17 cents per
gallon. This orchardist, therefore,
gives the College credit for saving
him on this one spraying $396.32.

Blister Beetles
T. H. McHatton, Professor of Horticul
ture, Ga. State College Of Agr.
From several sources have come re
ports of serious injury done flowers,
young fruit and buds of peach and oth
er trees. Asa rule these beetles
are not a serious pest. When they
appear in large numbers they will
do material damage, however. The
blister beetle is about one-half an inch
long with metalic-green back.
Arsenate of lead will help control
the pest. If only a few trees are to
be protected, give each tree a vigor
ous shaking early every morning. This
will dislodge the beetle, which can
be picked up and destroyed by put
ting into kerosene oil.
