WITH COUNTY AGENT BINGHAM 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 1 11 TELL THE MM ■niIIEQUIL’ 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. KARNAK is sold in Hartwell by Hnilev Rro« Drug Co.

Mrs. L. O. Reid, who has been very ill, is improving, we are glad to state. Sunday school is progressing nice ly, but we need more of our good people. Come next Sunday and make the number one hundred. Mr. Willie C. Cash, of Atlanta, is This special list will enable you to know exactly about each sale on time. Os course announcements through this column will be made, but these will not always reach you when you want them. 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? visiting his sister, Mrs. Fred Hicks, and family.
