FAMOUS JR APPLES
Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia
State College Of Agriculture
A visit to the north Georgia apple
section is bound to be an inspiration
to those who appreciate the power of
an industry to transform idle lands
to productive areas, to successfully
maintain population and to enable
man to find an attractive and remun
erative employment as well, in this
table land region with its ideal win
ter and summer climat® and with its
elevation of 1.500 to 2,500 feet above
the sea are found the best natural
conditions of climate and soil for the
production of apple* of the choicest
quality as to flavor and which wil!
keep for a long period, and by reason
of their high color are unusually at
tractive to the consumer.
It is the home-maker who is a fruit
frower that north Georgia offers the
greatest opportunity. Lands suitable
for cultivation can still be purchased
at a cost of from $26 to SSO per acre.
To establish an orchard and bring it to
bearing requires no small outlay of la
bor. One of the largest and most suc
cessful growers in north Georgia re
ports that it has cost him as much
as $360 per acre to clear his land and
bring his trees into bearing at seven
or eight years. This takes into con
sideration every expense Incident to
establishing the orchard and maintain
ing it under almost ideal conditions.
The lighter soils are better adapted
to producing early maturing trees
the clay joilg where Gees will
grow slower %ut last longer. Newly
cleared lands are preferable. As a
rule, nortTi Georgia lan3 is well drain
ed both as to soil and air, but care
should be taken to select a site to
see that both of these conditions pre
vail.
The College of Agriculture has is
«ed a builetin on Apple Culture in
ieorgia which is for free distribution,
and which will be found valuable to
entering upon an apple orchard prop
osition.
The industry is beyond the experi
mental stage, valuable information has
been obtained on the best varieties to
be used, modern auu effective methods
of pruning, spraying and cultivating
ara being employed with excellent re
sults. The marketing end of the crop
la being intelligently worked out The
leaders In the industry are aeme of
the most intelligent and capable busi
■ssas men in Georgia, in fact, the
toandation is well laid for a great and
thriving apple business for this stats.
SPRAYING FOR
SAN JOSE SCALE
T. H. McHatton, Prof. Horticulture,
Ga. State College Of Agriculture
For home-made concentrated lime
sulphur to be used in winter spraying
for San Jose scale, take 80 pounds of
flour of sulphur, 40 pounds of slaked
lime, 50 gallons of water. Slake the
lime, mix in the sulphur, add 50 gal
lons of water and let it boil for 50 or
60 minutes. Some water will evapo
rate. Replace it so that the entire
amount of the solution will be 50 gal
lons.
This is the concentrate which must
be diluted with water before being
used on trees. It Is sufficient to
make 300 to 400 gallons of spraying
material or sufficient to spray 200 five
year-old peach trees for scale during
the winter.
To know how much water to use in
diluting the concentrate, purchase a'
hydrometer at a drug store. If this can
not be had, dilute the concentrate by
adding 6 or 7 gallons of water to one
gallon of concentrate for late fall an<
winter spraying for San Jose scale.

Lime-sulphur solution should not be
confused with self-boiled lime sulphur.
The lime-sulphur is caustic and if ap
plied too strong would burn foliage,
but self-boiled lime-sulphur is much
weaker and is used for summer
sprays.
AH orchard trees, apples, peaches,
pears and plums, affected by scale or
likely to be affected, should be sprayed
during November or December and
if the infestation is bad, again In ear

GEORGE FOSTER
FAMOUS PLAYS
AND PLAYERS
By RANDOLPH ROSE
George foster.
When it comes to
pitching, Foster is a _|
real pitcher. It always M (fin
struck me that the raa- U r ™
jor leagues were a little /
slow in picking up this JL Jar/
“p lteno m,” for he
l played a whole year of TaL.
I marvelous ball with
! Houston in the Texas I
I League, back in 1912, Rudolph Rose
| before the Boston Red Sox made sufff
; cient effort to get him, .
1 think the majors first woke up to
him about that time in a spring series of
games between Mc(Law’s Giant* and the
Houston, Texas, team. Of course, the
Giants took upon Texas league teams as
their meat, hut this day with Foster up,
the Texas team beat the Giants, 2 to 1.
This was the first game the New York
team had lost to a Te"xas team in five
years and it sure did break their hearts,
and also it woke them up to the fact
that this young gentleman, Foster, was
there with the lick.
Last season, with the Red Sox, he was
the mainstay of the club, for with Wood
absent, the team had seemingly lost its
principal pitching strength. But Foster
stepped into the breach and helped wita
the pennant. He’s a hustler, a tireless
worker, and the kind of a player 1 always
have admired.
Foster was born in Bokoshe, Okla
homa. and is twenty-six years old. He
sure made good in the world’s series
fall. He won the second game of tlie
series, working against Mayer of Phila
delphia, and carried the game home with
him by a 2 to 1 score, allowing only
three hits. Foster came back in the fiftn.
and decisive game, and. working against
Mayer and also P»ixey, won by a 5 to 4
score. In this game he allowed nine hits.
The experts tell me he ought to he goad
for several more good years.
Foster had quite a fight battling bis
way to the top. He started out in Tulsa
in. 1908. and it was not until 1913 he
really arrived with Boston, in the mean
time having one try-out with St. Louis,
but he did not catch on. He was ■ w]M
Savannah in the Sally League fo-« y
short time in 1911. * *
A BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY.
I wish to lease out my telephone
business at Pearson, Ga., to a good,
live man, all tools necessary to keep ’
it up including one Ford car. If you
wish to get into a good business that
will pay you, come to see me at once.
