Fight San Jose Scale
With Lime-Sulphur
T. H. McHatton, Prof. Horticulture,
Ga. State College Of Agriculture.
Perhaps the most important spray
in the orchard should be applied dur
ing the fall, especially is this true
where trees are badly infested with
scale.
The spray should be put on the
trees after the heavy frosts have de
foliated them. The material to use
is the concentrated lime-sulphur wash.
It is made as follows: Make 80 pounds
of flowers of sulphur, or ground up
sulphur, into a paste with water ;
put 40 pounds of the best quick lime
into a boiler and slake; add the sul
phur paste and fifty gallons of wa
ter and boil for sixty minutes, re
place the water boiled away and there
will be fifty gallons of concentrated
lime-sulphur in hand.
If one has a hydrometer, test the
concentrate and dilute until the hy
drometer shows a specific gravity of
1.03 to 1.04 or a reading of from 4
to 5 degrees Beaume. If one has
no hydrometer dilute the home made
lime-sulphur by using one gallon of
the concentrate to 6 or 7 gallons of
water.
Apply to the trees after all the
leaves have fallen, during late No
vember or early December. Where
the scale is serious this is a most
important spraying.
Kill the Weevils
In Stored Grain
John R. Fain, Prof. Agronomy, Ga.
State College Of Agriculture.
In the southern part of Georgia es
pecially, the grain weevil will do great
damage to stored grain. Seed grain
especially requires protection. The
grain should he treated with carbon
bisulphide. One pound of the liquid
put in a cup on top of the grain will
treat one ton of grain. The fumes
from the carbon-bisulphide being heav
ier than air sink down through the
pile of grain and destroy the weevils.
The grain should be in a tight bin,
barrels or other receptacles that can
be closed tightly. Until the treatment
is complete, no one should approach
the treated grain with a light, burn
ing pipe or fire in any form. The gas
produced is highly explosive.
Two insects cause the weevil dam
age, the granery weevil and the an
goumois moth. To be on the safe side
it would be well to treat grain imme
diately after storing and again in the
latter part of winter. Corn taken from
stalks that have been stripped of their
fodder is infested with weevils worse
than corn not stripped because the
fodder-stripped corn has a tendency
to open its husks and let the insects in.
If a community desires to buy car
bon-bisulphide cheaply the College of
Agriculture can provide information as
to how to save money.
Some Farm Saving Hints
L. C. HART, Prof. Agr. Engineering,
Ga. State College Of Agri.
Georgia farmers waste needles Sly a
great deal of their investment in farm
machinery by failure to properly store
and take care of it when through with
it in the field Collect the farm ma
chinery in the tool shed. If there is
no tool shed the Department of Agri
cultural Engineering of the College of
Agriculture will furnish plans and a
bill of materials for one free.
Clean the machinery thoroughly and
cover all bright parts with a heavy
oil. Clean out oil holes and plug
them with wood or waste.
Put on Paint. Nothing adds to the
appearance of a farmstead as much
as paint and whitewash. The selling
price is added to very greatly. The
structures are preserved and their an
nual depreciation decreased. A full
set of formulas and advice as to the
application of paints and white washes
will be sent to all farmers of the
state upon application to the Depart
ment of Agricultural Engineering of
the College.
Convenient Farm Buildings. An
enormous loss of time results from
poorly designed arrangements for feed
ing livestock on the farm. The build
ings have not been designed with lit
tle thought of labor saving. The Agri
cultural Engineering Department of
the College of Agriculture can pro
vide sets cf plans for farm buildings
which will mean much saving of time
over old bam methods.

Farm Changes
For 801 l Weevil
Readjustment Requires Careful Plan
ning To Be Safe
ANDREW M. SOULE, President Ga.
State College Of Agriculture.
Any system of safe farming, under
boll weevil conditions should provide
that the cultivated area of the farm
should be so divided as to grow
enough corn to provide for family and
the live stock throughout the year.
The area will vary with the fertility
of the land, but on a two-horse farm
not less than ten, or, better still, twen
ty acres of land should be devoted to
this crop. Enough land should be
devoted to oats and small grains to
meet home requirements.
If the oats are properly handled
they will provide some grazing. A
great variety of hay and forage-pro
ducing crops can be grown successful
ly after oats, but it is important to
remember that the cultivation of le
gumes should be emphasized because
of their ability to gather nitrogen from
the air.
Certainly, the farmer should provide
all the meat needed for his family.
There is no reason why two to six
brood sows should not be maintained
on the average two-horse farm. Graz
ing crops should be depended on to
provide the food needed for the growth
and fattening of young pigs. They
can be hardened off with a little corn
in the fall and a very choice quality
of meat obtained..
A small flock of hens will provide
all the eggs needed and leave a sur
plus for sale. Probably no class of
meat is in greater demand in towns
and cities than chickens.
Every wise farmer will keep at least
two cows so that his family will be
supplied with an abundance of milk
and butter at all seasons of the year.
Then if he will keep a couple of brood
mares and raise a colt or two each
year, he can maintain his work stock
on an efficient basis. Next the farmer
should provide a garden. A half acre
of land will produce all the vegetables
which a family of six can possibly eat,
and if a proper rotation is established
and the garden well fertilized and han
dled, f "rh vegetabler vr.'y Ve v ad at.
