Agricultural Moving Pictures In Georgia J. Phil Campbell, Director Extension Division, Georgia State Col lege Of Agriculture A moving picture outfit is now be ing used by the Extension Division of the Georgia State College of Agri culture to convey messages of im proved agriculture to rural Georgia. An auto truck carrying the apparatus is utilized for producing the power that operates a dynamo which, in turn, provides the light for the moving pic ture machine. The power is suffi ciently strong to make as good a light as can be found in any moving picture theater. This enables the College to go out into the country and show pictures in school houses, and reach many peo ple who never yet have seen a moving picture. No difficulty is met in getting crowds, and, of course, a splendid op portunity is afforded for bringing lo bear a message, which doubtless,would not be obtained in any other way— upon a whole neighborhood at one time and in one place. Exhibitions are given both day and night, thus giving opportunity of reaching two neighborhoods a day. Arrangements are made in advance with the county superintendent of schools, who designates the schools where the exhibition is to be made and assists in making proper an nouncements. Where a county dem onstration agent is located he will also have a part in local arrangements. The moving picture outfit began op erating in south Georgia and will move gradually northward. Of course, it will be impossible to go into every school house in the state or evei reach every county in the state soon. Thinning Fruit Is Profitable T. H. McHatton, Professor Horticul ture, Georgia State College Of Ag riculture If after the young fruits drop—usu ally in May—there remains too many, thinning should be practiced. Thin by hand, a stick is not discriminat ing. Thin peaches when about the size of the thumb, before the stone hardens. Leave peaches 4 to 6 inches apart on tree, the distance depending upon the size of the fruit when ma tured. They must not touch. Apples should be thinned after the “drop,” and when the apples are be tween a quarter and a half dollar in size. Only one to a cluster should be left. Depending upon the size of tree and set of fruit, it will cost from 5 cents to 25 cents to thin a tree. The advantages of thinning are, a thinned tree does not break down because the apples are better distrib uted over it; the loss of fruit is little or nothing while the quality and quan tity of large fruit Is greatly increas ed, and the returns greater. Thinned trees set a better crop of fruit for the next year. Fungous diseases are not so destructive because fruits are not allowed to touch each other. Be cause of thinning the poor fruit is handled and gotten out of the way before the rush of the harvest season when otherwise the poor fruit would have to be handled and sorted. The thinned fruit can be fed to the stock. TRADE NARK REGISTERED PHOSLIME FOR COTTON Use It And Get Results IMMEDIATE DELIVERY Prices F. O. B. Phoslime, Fla., in Bags CARLOAD $9.00 Per Ton FLORIDA SOFT PHOSPHATE & LIME COMPANY BOX 462 OCALA, FLORIDA Board Tells How To Kill Truck Crop Pests Cheaply Atlanta, Ga. —Truck farming and home 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 these crops also will be the means of supporting several -million bugs, spiders, worms, beetles and oth er pests, in a life of sinful ease at the expense of the truck farmer, unless he declares war on them in time and applies the preventive measures recom mended by the State Board of Ento mology. State Entomologist E. Lee 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 any 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 metonß, 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 of 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 to 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 only by contact poisons. Thoroughly cleaning and burning up all trash dur ing the winter will destroy many hi bernating adults. Early planted mus tard makes a good trap plant. Pure kerosene should be used when the trap plants become thoroughly infect ed, and a fifteen per cent kerosene emulsion can be applied with success on growing crops, especially in the immature stages of the insect. The squash bug, which is a little over half an Inch long, dark brown above and yellow! h beneath, passes the winter unde:* tubbith and comes forth in the spring to deposit con spicuous fcrown c.r,\o:r \ eggs.

Young newly hatched bugs may be killed with a spray of ten per cent kerosene emulsion or “Black I-ioaf 40.” Plant 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 to 690 gallons of water. Soap solution at the rate of one pound to three or four gallons of water is alsjp a reliable remedy. The spray should be applied as a mist and with considerable force. The mole cricket, one of the most serious truck farm pests, Is best han dled in a given area by plowing up the breeding areas two or three times during the months of April, May and June. Banding indivMim# phnrtu Wltft paper or tin eytfodor affords absolute protection. Poisoned baits made of 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 verlaed during the winter before plant ing. Trapping them may be accom plished by boardß under which they crawl, or by puaeMog botes In the soil near each plant with a stick. Poi soned baits nay also be used with success. Full directions will be glv en by the State Board of Entomology on request. The web worm, a comparatively new pest in Georgia, feedb 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 with arsenate of lead or Paris green mixed with air slaked lime. The arse nate of lead should be used at the rate of one ■ pound. to' five’ pounds’ of- ntt slaked lime and Paris green at. the rate of one ounce to one pound of lime. It is best, applied by shaking a thin cloth sack directly over the plants, coating the leaves uniformly with poison dust. Arsenical sprays are also effective against cucumber beetles and flea bee tles which affect a great variety of plants.
