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.

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.
