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. Many Pecan Insects.

Mrs. Lula Rhodes and (laugh ter, Alexander, have returned to Atlanta after a week’s visit with Mrs. J. H. Mills. Mrs. 0. S. Steele and little s-m Stanley, of Atlanta, are visiting 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. The no— h-illpti.

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.
