WITH COUNTY AGENT BINGHAM 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 “HIGH YELLOW” —AND— “JACK GRAVELY” TOBACCO MADE OF Henry County, Virginia High-Grade Tobacco Mild. Sweet and Pleasant. Buy a Plug From— STANLY J. BROWN HARTWELL, GA. And Get A Free Sample 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. Large numbers of farmers have been spraying their orchards the past week. If you have missed the last 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. o A prize hen was rescued from a 1 death of strangulation when its own er performed an operation on its neck.
