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 tile 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 flfty gallons of wa
ter and boil for sixty minutes, re
place the wafer 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 Wf 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 be treated with carbon
bisfflphide. 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 ah' 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 Cofleg# Of Agri.
Georgia farmers waste needlessly a
great ileal 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
appeajjance of a farmstead as much
as paint and whitewash. The selling
price is added to very greatly. The
structures are preserved and thefr 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 fro\n
poorly designed arrangements for feed
ing livestock on the farm. The build
ings have not been designed with lit
tle 1 bought of labor saving. The Agri
cultural Engineering Department of
the College of Agriculture can pro
vide sets of plans for farm buildings
which will mean much saving of time
over old barn methods.
Agricultural Short Course
And the 801 l Weevil
This year, as never before, the Geor
gia farmer should consider taking a
short course in agriculture at the
Georgia State College of Agriculture.
In no other way can a farmer gdt so
rnui h of what Lie needs in changing his
fan Hr practices. The College is a
storehouse of information axnl the Coh
!egi farm a convincing example of
.. hat the information, really is. Tb<*
hurt courses at the College this vea
,vill begin January 3, 1917, and las’
ten days. Complete annouacemen
vill be made in a bulletin, which ca
;e obtained by writing to the Colleg
if Agriculture at Athens.
“Lid” Is On In Douglas
With All Drug Stores
The “lid” is on, at least with the
drug stores in Douglas, as at the last
meeting of the city council on Monday
night, it was decided to rigidly en
force the Sunday closing ordinance,
and beginning to-morrow the drug
stores of Douglas will remain closed
throughout the Sabbath Day.
This of course allows the druggist
to sell drugs ar.d fill prescriptions, but
they will not be allowed to sell arv
thing in the soda water or cigar line,
in fact nothing but drugs.
