GA. BECOMING 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. Dilution Table. No. Gals.

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 ly spring just before the ieef buds •well 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.
