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. In a Bad Way.

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.
