Spray Orchard*
A great many farmers sprayed
their orchards last time strictly ac
cording to the schedule. If you did
not put on the third summer spray
according to the schedule, then by
all means spray at once, and then
carry on the schedule according to
directions the rest of the year.
Peaches.
Peaches should have had the third
summer spray with DRY MIX last
week, or the week before. This
apray was for rots and worms. If
you have not used this spray, then
buy you some dry mix at once, and
put on according to directions. If
you did use dry mix on the last
Bpray, with poison added, then the
next spray for you to be put on is
about four or five weeks before each
variety ripens. This spray four
weeks before ripening is to protect
the peaches from taking BROWN
ROT just at ripening time, and to
keep out worms at this time. This
is the only spray to be put on peaches
this summer, unless it rains very
much, in which case it will be well
to add an extra spray on late
peaches.
Remember to spray four or five
weeks before ripening with dry mix
and poison added. Do not be afraid
to spray with poison. We are not
plotting against your life.
Apples.
Apples should be sprayed at once
with lime-sulphur mixed one to forty
with water, if you have not sprayed
with this the last time according to
schedule. If you did spray accord
ing to schedule, then the next spray
is ready to be put on the middle of
May. You can put this on a little
sooner, or a little later, but middle
of May is about right. Use limesul
phur with poison. Ask for directions
complete.
The spray after the one above,
which should be about June Ist, and
Bordeaux is used. This is made from
lime and bluestone. Full directions
will be given, if your name is on the
orchard mailing list.
Potatoes and Tomatoes.
Potatoes and tomatoes can be ma
terially benefited by spraying with
Bordeaux mixture, made from lime
and bluestone. This controls rots
and blight. Full directions for mak
ing will be given on request.
Poison is added to Bordeaux for
worms, bugs, and other insects. Do
not be afraid to poison tomatoes and
potatoes for bugs and worms. There
is no danger. Take arsenate of lead
and mix one tablespoon to each gal
lon of water, and spray the plants
thoroughly.
Cabbage Worm*.
Cabbage worms can be easily con
trolled by spraying or dusting with
calcium arsenate, or arsenate of
lead, using n tablespoonful to each
gallon of water. Spray well, but
there is no need to drench the plants.
Dust can be used, but do not make
the plants white with it. A flour
sack shaken well will put out enough
dust to get the worms.
Spacing Cotton.
Most farmers, it seems, in Hart
county* are spacing their cotton
about the right distance, but many
are putting it too wide for best
yields. And curiously, these farm
ers refuse consistently to make a
test of it, by leaving a small plot
spaced at different distances. Cot
ton left 8 to 12 inches, and one to
two stalks per hill, will outyield any
other distances. The farmer who
says he knows better than this, and
that there is no need to test it is a
stumbling block to his neighbors who
have faith and confidence in him as
a man. He is causing others to go
astray, simply because he has used
good judgment in previous farm
problems. But this is not enough.
Because a man uses good judgment
in one thing, is no proof at all that
he knows about everything, even cot
ton spacing. Leave your cotton
thick, or try out a test plot so that
you will be in shape to know an
other year.
Read the Progressive Farmer on
this point in issue of May 2nd. It is
convincing.
Poisoning Cotton.
Early appearance of weevils can
be controlled easily by several meth
ods, already known and used.
But failure to note heavy early
appearance is no sign that there will
be no weevils to hurt you. The
chances are that it will rain heavily
this summer. If it does, you are
going to see some weevil damage
that you have never seen before, and
you are going to find that the farm
ers who do not poison are going to

James M. Tuggle, Os At
lanta Police Force, Joins
The Great Army Now
Praising Sensational
Medicine.
Everyone now sems to be prais
ing Karnak, the sensational new
medicine that is being sold here.
Patrolman James M. Tuggle, 21
Meldrim St., a popular and fearless
member of the Atlanta Police Force
for the past 18 years, says:
“I'll tell the world Karnak is the
best medicine for stomach and kid
ney troubles I ever tried. It makes
food digest perfectly and tones up
the whole system.
“I suffered from indigestion most
all my life, and frequently after
meals had a hard, lumpy feeling in
the pit of my stomach like a chunk
of lead was lying there, I felt
be cleaned out, and be in bankruptcy
this fall, or near there in most cases.
Get you plenty of dust guns, of
proper type for your farm, lay up
plenty of poison, and be ready to
fight. Do not listen to all this gab
that the weevils are not going to hurt
this year. They may not. It de
pends mostly on the weather. The
only safe thing for you to do is to
be ready.
Money In Poultry.
There is money in poultry on the
farm. But there is no money for the
man whose hens were laying little
12 weeks ago, and have gone to set
ting already, or have been at it a
long time. No farmer on earth can
make anything out of a 12 weeks’
period of production with hens. When
you hear a man say there it nothing
in poultry, just examine his flock,
and you will find that they have not
been laying for over 10 or 12 weeks.
Build you a good hen house, and
a good brooder house. Do not try to
raise chickens under a slat coop cov
ered with sacks. You will become
discouraged. Then hatch early,
through incubators, or early setters,
and follow practices of people who
have made money at it, and not fol
low the thousand and one ideas and
suggestions made by those who do
not know.
Larger Flocks.
Why do we not have some farmers
in this county with larger flocks of
chickens? Franklin, Elbert, and
Stephens counties have several flocks
of 500 hens each. A few good
flocks of this size, properly run will
be a good demonstration for the
farmers of the county who should
keep only about 100 hens at pres
ent. This means all farmers, just
as soon as they can learn the busi
ness.
Clover Seeds.
Save your burr clover seed. It is
too late to save crimson clover seed,
but burr can be saved. If you have
any for sale, list it with your county
agent. We can use all you have and
then some.
Registered Grain.
Do not forget to have your wheat,
oats, rye, etc., inspected for regis
tration. Seed that will pass inspec
tion will be valuable for sale this
fail. See me about it at once, and
we will arrange for inspection at
once.
Poultry Sale.
Remember that the poultry sale
takes place at HaHwell Friday morn
ing, and that the car leaves here on
the 10:40 train. The next stopping
place will be Royston, that after
noon, and that night the car will go
to Elberton, where it will be loaded
on Saturday. This trip will not in
clude Comer this time, but it is hop
ed that this place can be put on
this route in June.
There has been a demand for such
an arrangement of poultry sales in
this section for some time. Many
are familiar with the plans used in
South Georgia, which is like this.
We have given much thought to this
plan, and those interested in adjoin
ing counties have done the same, and
it is hoped that this plan will give the
people the service they want. If
it does not, then you should strive
to find a better plan, instead of mere
ly registering complaint about the
one put in use.
This plan is being tried out be
cause many have wanted. It will
not succeed unless you give it your
support. This means selling a few
hens each time, as well as fryers. All
kinds of poultry will be bought at
best market prices.
Anyone wishing to bid on this car
of poultry is urged to place bids reg
ularly, and they will be considered.
The next run will be either May
29th and 30th, or June sth and 6th,
and the loading points will be Hart
well in the morning, Bowersville in
midday, Lavonia in the afternoon,
and Toccoa Saturday morning. Full
information will be given next week,
if possible.
If you want to receive personal
notice through the mails of each and
every sale, giving prices, etc., ar
rangements will be made to send you
a card each time, if you will pay
cost of postage, and mimeographing
cards. It is planned to have each
person wanting this information, to
deposit about 25c or 50c and this
will be used to send you notices reg
ularly. You may deposit this mon
ey now if you want to. Full plans
will have been worked out by the
time you read this. We will accept
deposits also the day of the chicken
sale, Friday. A regular poultry sale
mailing list will then be maintained.
nauseated, suffered from sick head
aches, and was troubled a great
deal with stiffness in my joints. My
wrists and elbows ached just like
toothache, and when I would sit
down it would be hard for me to
get up again.
“When a friend recommended
Karnak to me I was only too glad
to give it a trial. I could tell from
the start it was helping me, so I
continued right on. I now feel like
a different person altogether. My
food digests perfectly and I am
not bothered with that lumpy feel
ing. headaches or indigestion.
“Karnak just seemed to work
wonders with my kidneys and
I am not bothered a bit with rheu
matic pains any more. In fact, it
just toned me up in every way.

Culling Hens.
All hens should be sold which have
not shown a long period of produc
tion. The hen which lays only a
few weeks and then sets, is not a
paying hen. All undesirable setters
should be disposed of, unless it is
known that they are good producers.
All old hens that are not paying
should be sold, unless a few are kept
for breeding purposes next spring.
Those hens which have yellow
skins can be culled even closer. By
studying the disappearance of this
yellow color from the various parts
of the chicken, you can tell approxi
mately how long the hen has been
laying or about how many eggs she
has laid. We will be glad to give
a demonstration.
Culling Demonstration.
At the poultry sale, we will give
a culling demonstration Friday morn
ing. These points will all be brought
out.
Bean Inoculation.
Inoculation for Otootans is not
necessary. It is not necessary for
Laredos either, but will pay, because
this bean does not take inoculation
naturally from the soil the first year
it is grown. Tests have shown that
inoculation will pay on first year
ground. Inoculation can be bought
from the state at 30c an acre size, or
bushel size.
Vetch Crop Increases Corn Yield 15
Bushels Per Acre.
That the farmers of Georgia are
becoming greatly interested in soil
building is evident tfrom the fact
that more than a half million pounds
of winter legume seed were sown in
the state last year, and State Col
lege specialists are of the opinion
that substantial progress is being
made toward relief from the great
est curse of agriculture in this state
—low crop yields.
Hairy vetch, by far the most pop
ular winter legume in the state was
sown upon about 15,000 acres, it is
estimated. There were a few fail
ures due to lack of inoculation and
other adverse conditions but reports
sent into the college that fully three
fourths of the acreage came through
in gofid shape. Practically all of
the vetch grown in the state will be
plowed in and the land planted to
corn.
Experiment stations and farmers
report that as an average the turn
ing under of only one good crop will
increase the following corn crop 15
bushels per acre. Hence if the ex
periences may be taken as a criterion
the yield of the 15,000 acres on
which vetch is turned under will be
225,600 bushels of corn greater than
the yield on the same grade and
amount of land, but on which no
vetch is plowed in. In other words,
turning under vetch on 15,000 acres
of Georgia’s land should add 225,000
bushels of corn to the crop of the
state this year.
Practical farmers reported further
interesting facts to the college con
cerning growing and turning under
vetch crops for soil building. The
average of their results was that
before beginning soil building their
lands were capable of producing 13
bushels of corn per acre, but that
after a few years of soil building
their corn yields were increased to
45 bushels per acre. Similarly, their
everage cotton yield in the beginning
was 484 pounds of seed cotton per
acre, but that this had been increas
ed by soil building to 1492 pounds
: per acre.
When to Cut Vetch.
Vetch will have ripe seeds and
blooms at the same time. It grows
late, and the more growth you get
the better. Oats are not good for
hay if left standing too long. The
time to cut this mixed hay crop is
according to your likes for the oats
or vetch. If you think more of the
oats, then the cutting should be when
the oats are in the best hay stage.
There will be lots of fine vetch hay
at this time also. If you think lit
tle of the oats, and more of the
vetch, then you can let the oats
stand longer in order to get more
vetch growth. Vetch should be cut
before the vines begin to die, of
course.
Vetch and oats can be allowed to
stand late, cut and threshed, and
vetch seed and oats can be thus se
cured for planting in the fall. The
resulting hay is very good, and this
gives you a chance to raise your own
seed vetch.
Testing Cows.
Many farmers are interested in
testing cows for tuberculosis. This
is splendid. The county agent of
Franklin county told us recently that
in April they put on such a testing
campaign, and more than 400 cows
in the county were tested in four
days. The farmers gathered their
cows in groups and the tester went
around and tested each group.
Sell Roosters.
The hatching season is about over.
All old roosters, undesirable ones,
and those akin to the flock should
be sold. Now is the time to sell.
Rooster prices will bring about as
much now as later, and you should
not feed them al summer and fall.
The rooster which you want to keep
should be penned separately from
your hens if you are trying to pro
duce a high quality egg. The prices
of eggs in Georgia are below that
of many states, too low. because the
farmers do not produce a good qual
ity egg. Do not blame the other
man’s price of eggs until you get
the mote out of your own eye. Is
anything wrong with that?

The extra quality built in by the extra process of Gum-Dipping,
the economy of these wonderful tires and the added mileage
obtained from them during the past two years, has created such
a large demand that over 75% of Firestone's mammoth produc
tion is now Balloon Gum-Dipped Cords.
This has greatly increased the total sales volume and the huge
Firestone factories are now working on a 24-hour schedule to
supply the demand.
This large volume, produced under the most economical tire
manufacturing methods, oermits Firestone to sell these extra
process Full-Size Balloons at no extra cost to car owners. And this
in the face of greatly advanced cost for crude rubber brought
about by the operation of the British Rubber Restriction Act.
