Storing Eggs.
Several cases of eggs will have
been stored by the time this article
appears in print.
Cold storage eggs bring all the
way from 40 to 50c per dozen in
the fall and winter months when
fresh eggs are scarce. We are put
ting on a demonstration in Hart
county to prove to the farmers that
they can successfully store eggs.
The very time of the year when
eggs are cheapest is the very time
when it is easiest to store eggs. This
is the spring months at this time
of the year when eggs are selling
very cheap and farmers can put
them in cold storage, get an advance
on them at this time almost equal
to the selling price and get an addi
tional advance when the eggs are
sold.
We want to encourage every farm
er in Hart county to put as many
eggs in cold storage as they can
spare, but in all cases put in at leagt
one dozen in order that they may
learn the business.
Keep in touch with your mail so
as to know when and where to bring
your eggs for storage.
Mite* and Lice.
Extremely warm weather is caus
ing mites and lice to be very bad
•n poultry. Spray your chicken
houses thoroughly with a lime sul
phur solution or with a homemade
kerosene emulsion which we can
show you how to make. All of these
are cheap and effective. Lice can
be controlled by the use of commer
cial lice powders or by the means
of an ointment. A good homemade
lice powder can be prepared by tak
ing three parts of gasoline, one part
of carbolic acid and mixing with
enough lime to form a moist powder.
Sprinkle this thoroughly over the
chickens and in the nests.
Lice on young chickens from a
few days to a few weeks old can be
controlled by putting just a small
amount of the latter on the top of
the head. By a small amount, we
mean a particle about the size of
a grain of wheat spread over the
head of the chicken. If your young
chickens are hanging around sleepy
with droopy wings and seem to be
inactive, examine them for lice.
Alfalfa.
In a shart while an alfalfa cam
paign will be put fcn in Hart, coun
ty as is being done all over the state
of Georgia. Every farm in Hart,
county needs from one to three acres
of alfalfa. It will cost from S3O to
S4O to get alfalfa started well, but
when once started, it will give two
to four tons of the best quality of
hay per acre and the good thing
about it is that you always have it,
whereas if you depend upon peas
and things of that kind, you may get
in a hurry or get behind and fail
to plant these crops. An alfalfa
stand is good for five or ten years
if properly planted. Watch for in
formation on this.
Catt«n Seed.
Are you planting a pure va
riety of cotton seed? If good cot
ton seed will give you just one more
boll per stalk on the average land
in Hart county, it will produce 100
pounds more of seed cotton. At
the price cotton seed are selling for,
you can well afford to buy good reg
istered cotton seed.
Be sure that your seed are pure.
It has been said that all men are
liars. This may or may nat be true,
but one thing is certain and that is
that the majority of cotton seed on
the market are not pure.
Callege No. 1. Wannamaker Cleve
land and Piedmont Cleveland are
three good strains of c%ttpn. Hart
county is about to g* College Ny. 1
and for this reason, we w*u)d be
glad to see more people plant this
variety of cotton. At the present
time, Cokesbury, Reed Creek, Sar
dis, Camp Ground, Bowersville, and
Nuberg communities are specializing
on these varieties and each one of
them will have very large acreage
another year.
You should purchase a good pure
variety of corn. Sparks I’rolific,
Whatleys, and Hastings are three
good varieties of corn. There are

other good varieties of corn also.
There are probably more good varie
ties of corn than there is cotton.
However, corn in Hart county needs
more improvement at the present
time than does cotton. At $4 per
bushel it will cost the average man
from 25c to 35c per acre to plant
pure corn. $4 may seem high, but
it costs a good deal of money to
select good seed corn and a man
cannot afford to sell it much cheap
er than this.
Velvet Bean*.
We have ordered a great many vel
vet beans for Hart county. They
can be purchased for $2.50 plus the
freight from South Georgia. One
bushel of these beans will plant 68
acres of corn land. One-half bushel
to one bushel broadcasted on grain
land will produce an enormous
growth of vines which will make good
hay and will add an enormous amount
of fertilizer to that land. A gallon
of sorghum and one-half bushel of
velvet beans broadcasted per acre
will add a manure crop there worth
sls to 20 per acre. Several people
in the county grew velvet beans last
year. It is expected that there will
be three or four hundred acres of
velvet beans grown in Hart county
this year. Early Spring or Ninety
Day is probably the best and will
give most growth for this section.
However, most of the varieties which
you can buy now are w’orth while for
you to plant.
Velvet beans at $2.50 per bushel
plus the freight is much cheaper than
peas and considerably cheaper than
O Too Tan and Laredo beans. We
do not mean to say that these beans
in all cases will take the place of
the Soy beans, but for manure and
to plant in corn, they are probably
as good. i
Put in your order right away for
what velvet beans you want. This
applies also to soy beans, clov«r
seed. Let us remind you again to
save all the crimson clover seed that
you can. Crimson clover seed in the
chaff are much more desirable for
September and October plantings
than clean seed. The clean seed are
cheaper but a little more uncertain.
S. L. Thornton, at Nuberg, sold $144
worth of crimson clover seed from
one acre last year.
As soon as burr clover goes to
seed rake up every seed that you
can save. Do not delay this. Mr.
S. L. Thornton, of Nuberg, sold sev
eral hundred bushels at 80c per
bushel last fall. They are worth
more than this for ynur farm. One
acre of crimson elover seed will make
from one to two hundred bushels of
seed. Save them. If you can’t use
them, we will sell them for you.
Club Meeting.
The Hart county club leaders met
in the courthouse Saturday, April
11th. Mr. J. K. Giles, of the State
College of Agriculture, former Boys’
club leader for the state of Georgia,
was present and talked to these club
leaders.
These club leader boys, one from
each school in the county, will meet
regularly at the courthouse the first
Saturday in each month hereafter.
In addition each leader is organizing
his community for regular monthly
meetings of all club members which
he has enrolled.
Bean Beetle*.
We have motion picture on bean
beetles which we want to show in
a few communities in Hart county.
The bean beetle can be controlled
by the use of calcium arsenate, and
you should watch out this year for
this pest. It will positively destroy
your entire crop of beans if you do
not find it early.
Corn Club.
The First National Bank of Hart
well will furnish free of charge for
a limited time pure seed corn to corn
club boys of Hart county. Call at
the office of the County Agent if
you are going to join the corn club
and get yours. We Can furnish
Sparks I’rolific, Hastings, or What
leys. Enough for one acre will be
furnished.

THE HARTWELL SUN, HARTWELL, GA., APRIL 17, 1925
ENOUGH WEEVILS SURVIVE
TO CAUSE GREAT DAMAGE
Farmer* Know Wbat They May
Reasonably Expect and Should
Prepare to Fight.
BY THE NATIONAL WEEVIL
CONTROL ASSOCIATION.
The boll weevil is still with us.
According to official reports by the
United States Department of Agri
culture enough weevils survived the
winter to cause great destruction if
the spring and summer weather is
i normal and control measures are not
practiced diligently and intelligently.
In fact, if the number surviving
had been smaller there would still
be danger.
The substance of the weevil report
is: “As far as the initial emergence
' of the weevil is concerned, the South-
I eastern States may expect at least
the normal number, sufficient, in
fact, to be a serious control problem
form the very beginning of the season
in those fields nearest to hibernation
shelter. From Alabama westward,
however, it is evident that a lighter
infestation will prevail on the aver
age, with the possible exception of
the extreme Gulf Coast Region, but
it is also evident that this infestation
is going to be very abnormally ‘spot
ted.’ To summarize: while the em
ergence will be fairly low throughout
a large portion of the territory ex
amined, it is still high enough so that
with summer weather favorable for
weevil multiplication, serious damage
will develop, and the best which may
be expected is that the farmer will
have at least an initial advantage in
the early season in his fight against
the weevil.
“In conclusion, the Department
wishes to again point out that these
records are merely indications of the
preliminary infestation of weevils,
which may be expected to emerge
from hibernation and do not indicate
in any way the damage which may
be expected for this season. Cer
tainly there is no indication which
could be in any way construed as a
reason for relaxation in the fight
against the boll weevil.”
It must be remembered that wee
vils multiply very rapidly. They lay
from three to eight eggs each day
and average a total of about a hun
dred before they die. The total time
from the placing of an egg in the
square to the appearance of the wee
vil is about seventeen days. The
average length of life of the weevils
in the summer time is 62 days. Thus,
it will be realized, or can be demon
strated by a very simple calculation,
how a very small emergence may
multiply in a few weeks to a de
structive infestation.
For these reasons experts in weevil
control do not attach great impor
tance to the degree of survival. It is i
only one of several important facts
to be observed. In the present in-1
stance it indicates that the weevil has !
a good start in 1925. How far he
will go and how much damage he will
do depend upon the weather and the
farmer. Last year’s weather condi
tions were happily unfavorable to
weevil development and favorable to
cotton growing. It is about the third
such experience in thirty years and
to assume that is will be repeated in
1925 is to make a very dangerous
gamble. On the other hadn, by the
practice of cultural methods now
thoroughly tested and demonstrated
in every cotton state and by the
practice of the proceses of control by
poison equally tested and widely
demonstrated, the Cotton Belt by in
i telligence and industry need have no
fear of being able to control the boll
weevil, provided only that the farm
ers do not trust to the luck of
weather, but make the most of the in
formation which has been gathered
for them by painstaking research and
confirmed by the best farmers in
every cotton community.
There is nothing in the experience
of last year, which was exceptional,
to indicate any material change in the
agreed program of the agricultural
scientists as to cultural methods or
poisoning practices. There is now
well nigh unanimous judgment among
field workers of the United States
Department of Agriculture and the
agricultural colleges to the effect '
that it is all important:
1. To use tested seed of quickly I
, maturing varieties.
.2 To plant as early as the seed-
I bed is warm and danger of frost is
past. *
3. To fertilize highly where natur
! al fertility is lacking.
4. To poison with calcium arsen-
I ate dust or with home-made mixture
\of calcium arsenate and molasses
i when the weevils first appear and
I while the cotton is in the pre-square
I to the number of 20 to the acre.
5. After squares begin to form, use ■
calcium arsenate as a dust when and
only when the weevils have punctur
ed from ten to fifteen percent of the
squares.
