To the Employees and
Salespeople of the
Carmichael-Mallet Cos.
The management of our concern has been urged by our brother
merchants and salespeople to close our place of business Wednesday
afternoon of each week at 1 o’clock for the purpose of taking one
half holiday. We do not oppose our people in haying outing and re
creation during the summer months. We believe in it and think they
should have it. We appreciate our help and their co-operation. This
is the thing that is making our business go and making us really
and truly the BUSY CORNER of Jackson.
But we DO NOT think it the wise thing to close our place of
business on Wednesday afternoon of each week. When our business
succeeds all associated with us, whether stockholder or juSt simply a
salesperson, succeed.
We wish to point out the fad: that we are not picayunish with
our help along this line. We never charge them to time when they
are sick; when they wish to get off for one half day or a day the time
is given them. Each one is given one week during the summer and
their pay goes on.
It is our purpose to give each one, one half day off each week, be
ginning June Id (and Still keep our business open and going), arrang
ing in some way as follows:
A. F. Whiney, Gus Moss, Tuesdav P M
Miss Rosa Thompson, Elwood Robison
S. J. Carmichael, Miss Ada Sharp,
Miss Carrie Mumma, Lamont Gresham, Thursday P. M.
F. S. Carmichael
H. W. Turner, G. B. Carreker. Fridav P M
Miss Ida Moss, Miss Pearl Sappington
Drayman and delivery boy one half day each week to be arranged
in a way to not interfere with the carrying on of the draying and de
livery.
Believe us—We are with you. what is to you interest is to ours,
vice versa. Let’s all pull together and make the BUSY CORNER the
greater BUSY CORNER. *
Yours for the bed for all,
CARMICHAEL-MALLET COMPANY,
By J. H. CARMICHAEL, President.

DAMAGE DONE BY PECAN
INSECTS AND DISEASES
Board of Entomology Tells of Results of Investigations
of Pecan Pests.
Atlanta, Ga.—-(Special.)—The im
portant information that there are va
rieties of the Pecan tree which are
least subject to the attacks of cer
tain insects, and that there are those
which are peculiarly resistant to de
structive Pecan scab, has been devel
oped by the Georgia Board of Ento
mology, and will shortly be incorpo
rated in anew bulletin. In this bul
letin will appear much new and inter
esting information.
Of the forty or more insects that
attack the Pecan, several new ones
have made their appearance in Geor
gia since the last bulletin was is
sued. These are described and, in
sofar as is possible, the methods of
control are given. There are only two
bad diseases which attack Pecans in
Georgia, the worst of which is Pecan
scab; the other is Pecan rosette.
Perhaps the most interesting and
important information conveyed tn
this bulletin is the fact that certain
varieties are less liable to infestation
by the Pecan case-bearer, one of the
most destructive of all insects. The
varieties upon which the fewest of
these insects were found are Money
maker, Harsen, Georgia, Curtis, Rus
sell, Mantura, Hican (none), Tesche
and Young. The worst infested were
the Capitol, VanDeman, Schley, Stu
art, Nelson, Frotscher, Taylor, Alley,
Appomattox and Delmas. Intermedi
ate between the two were the Mo
bile, Creole, Success, President, Pabst,
Teddy, Bacon and Hadley.
Trees That Resist Scab.
Most suspectible to Pecan scab
were found the Georgia, San Saba,
Capitol, Delmas and many seedlings.
Only slightly infested were the Van
Deman, Schley, Alley, Halkert and
Mobile. The varieties declared safest
to plant from standpoint of immunity
1 from scab, are Moneymaker, Russell,
Stuart, Schley and Alley, the infec
tion noted ip the two latter being very
slight.
Pecan scab, the most serious fun
gus disease attacking Pecans, is indi
cated by small black pustules on the
leaves and nuts. It is best controlled
by a thorough and careful spraying
with Bordeaux mixture in the propor
tion, 3 pounds copper sulphate, 3
pounds lime to fifty gallons of water.
The mixture should bo carefully made
as described in the bulletin.
Pecan rosette causes the twigs to
die back tn the fall. Little is known
about it. Some growers remove the
affected twigs. Entomologist E. Lee
Worsham is of the opinion that it is
best to remove and burn the tree.

Playing Safe In
The Cotton Game
J. Phil Campbell, Director Extension
Division, Georgia State Col
lege Of Agriculture
High price cotton is a seductive si
ren beckoning southern farmers hack
into the breakers of the single crop
system. He wise and do not be mis
led again. Engage in “Safe Farm
ing.” Raise cotton, but fortify it with
corn, oats, wheat, legumes livestock,
vegetables, so that no one will be
able to take your cotton from you
for a song. No matter how much cot
ton will be bringing next year, it will
be worth more to you if you do not
have to pay out your cotton money
for home supplies. In other words,
save your cotton money by living on
home-raised products.
Let us see how it can be done:
First. Produce a home garden for
every family on the farm giving spe
cial attention to raising sufficient
Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes and sir
up.
Second. Produce corn necessary to
support all the people and the live
stock on the farm.
Third. Produce enough oats to feed
the animals along with corn. Pay at
tentiqn to winter grazing.
Fourth. Produce hay and forage
crop, sufficient to supply all the live-
the Pecan, perhaps the Pecan case
bearer is the most serious, particu
larly in the south Georgia Pecan belt.
It is a gray moth, as an adult, about
an inch across with wings spread.
The worm lives in a case and sticks
its head out to feed on the leaves
and twigs. The best method of con
trol is to spray with arsenate of lead
in August or the first week of Sep
tember. In this way it is readily
held in check.
The Pecan shucksworm, a common
insect attacking the shuck, preventing
maturing of the nut and staining it, is
controlled by gathering and burning
the shucks.
The Pecan cigar case-bearer, like
the regular case-bearer but smaller, is
scarce in Georgia. > The control is
arsenate of lead spray in March when
the buds are swelling.
The Pecan nut case-bearer is new
in Georgia, having been first observed
in 1915. The insect develops within
the nut. Unless checked this insect
may soon do serious damage. Methods
of control are now being worked out.
The twig girdlers cut off Pecan
branches. Infested limbs shrfuld bo
gathered and burned. Keeping dead
limbs and all dead wood out of the
orchard, checks many Insects.
Borers Must Be Dug Out.
The flatheaded borers, flat, hard,
shiny beetles about half an inch long,
bore Into the bark and feed between
the bark and wood. The best method
is to follow the cracks in the bark,
dig them out. and kill them. Shotholo
and pinhole borers are other types of
beetles which similarly attack the
tree. Tlity are c. nt.oiled by burning
dead wood and, where very serious,
by whitewashing the trunk of the
tree.
The pecan nut curculio, similar to
the plum insect, is a weevil which
bores into the nut, making the ordi
nary wormhole sometimes seen. Tho
method of control is not yet worked
out, but shallow plowing when the
insect is in the ground gets many of
them. The Pecan borer, like the
Peachtree borer, must be removed
with the knife.
The fall webworm and similar in
sects, should be burned with the kero
sene torch or scraped off and stepped
on. The Pecan looper, a large moth
that eats the leaves, is controlled by
arsenate of lead spray. The same
remedy is applied for the budworm,
two species of which attack and de
stroy tho buds. Leaf honpers, small,
green irsects which such the leaves
and cause th o m to curl, are controlled
by spray of whaleoil soap.

stock on the farm, preferably legumes
such as clover, cowpoas, velvet bean - :,

Fifth. Produce meat to supply the

Sixth. After these things have been
provided for, grow cotton for the mar

Fall and Winter
Manuring Of Garden
T. H. McHatton, Professor Of Horti
culture, Georgia State College
Of Agriculture
Manure the garden in the fall by
applying at least 15 two-horse loads
per acre. Leave it on the surface till
the spring plowing. In the spring be
fore the manure is turned under, ap
ply from 500 to 1,000 pounds of phos
phoric acid. This will make a com
pleter fertilizer, or provide more near
ly for all the plant food requirements.
The farmer may choose from the fol
lowing list of crops immune or resist
ant to root-knot those best suited to
his needß: barley, beggarweed, Brab
ham cowpea, broom-corn millet, corn,
crab grass. Iron cowpea, peanut, pearl
millet, rye, sorghum, velvet bean,
wheat and winter oats.
