COUNTY AGENT’S

Killirg Termite* In Home*
We are offering suggestions this
week for destroying termites in farm
houses and other buildings.
Any one who has discovered ter
mite trouble in the house can de
stroy the pests by breaking the con
nection between the soil moisture of
the earth and the wood of the house.
Asa result, the termites will shrivel
up and die, even though they have
established a strong foothold in the
holla*.
Before thia remedy will work suc
cessfully, all the wood work must be
kept free from moisture. In case a
leakage or dampness occurs in the
wood work, something will have to
be done to get rid of that moisture.
Termites often riddle supporting
timbers and beams or undermine
flooring without having their pres
ence suspected. They live and work
inside the tunnels, which they make
as they feed on the wooden parts of
buildings, and are not seen from
the surface.
Termites get into a building from
outdoors, through basement timbers
or other wooden structural parts of
the house that are in contact with
the ground. Termites will even
bridge over stone or concrete foun
dation for several feet if necessary,
to reach wood by means of earth
like shelter tubes.
Many houses are made termite
proof when they are built, simply
by setting all the timber ends on a
concrete foundation.
The most effective way to keep
termites out of a house that is al
ready built is to use the same pre
cautions as in first building—to in
sulate all wooden parts that would
otherwise touch the earth by em
bedding them in concrete and pro
viding metal shields where needed.
This is expensive, but it will end
termite trouble if properly done.

Control of 801 l Weevil* in Georgia
In view of the possibility of heavy
boll weevil damage this year, and be
cause of lack of specific information
on best methods of control, W. S.
Brown, Director of the Georgia
Agricultural Extension Service, re
quested that a group of farmers, en
tomologists and agricultural workers
meet together on May 3, 1939, in
•Athens, and make some practical
recommendations for boll weevil
control. This group agreed that the
suggestions which are given below
will enable farmers generally to
make a successful fight on the boll
weevil at minimum cost.
We recommend poisoning of cot
ton as a profitable investment over
a period of years. It should be
looked on in the farm program as a
matter of insurance, because the
small amout of cost involved in pro
portion to the total value of the crop
is negligible, as compared with the
average annual loss which will be
experienced. We believe that it
would be profitable for farmers to
include the plans for poisoning just
as they each year arrange to ferti
lize and cultivate their cotton.
The boll weevil control measures
suggested here are not intended for
use on Sea Island cotton.
Cultural methods such as early
planting, the varieties of cotton
grown, proper fertilization and cul
tivation have a marked influence on
the control of the boll weevil, but
the following recommendations have
to do largely with control by poison
ing.
tt t t
Poisoning Schedule, Pre-Square
Application
It is recommended that the first
application of poison be made when
the cotton has six leaves. A second
application should be made one
week later. If needed, a third ap
plication may be made one week
after the second application.
If calcium arsenate dust is used
instead of pre-square mopping with
the syrup mixture, make one dusting
at the appearance of the first small
squares.
For mopping, use a mixture in the
proportion of 1 to 2 pounds of cal
cium arsenate, 1 gallon of syrup or
molasses, and 1 gallon of water.
This should be applied at the rate of
2 to 3 gallons an acre per applica
tion. Do not carry over any of this
mixture from day to day, as it may
burn the cotton if over a day old.
Apply by means of a mop pushed
through the tops of the cotton
plants, rather than by using the
churn dasher method of daubing it
in the buds of the cotton.
A mop may be made by taking or
wiring a strip of old sacking 3 inch
es wide and about 6 inches to a
stick an inch in diameter or width,
and three feet long. 4 inches of
this mop should be extended beyond
the stick.

BAPTIST MISSIONARY SOCIETY
MEETING
The Baptist W. M. 8. met Monday
afternoon at the church. The Mas
sey Circle presented an interesting
radio program on the subject, "The
Great Commission and the Ministry
of Healing.” Southern Baptist*
were slow to adopt the ministry of
healing in their program. It was
forty-five year* after the convention
was organized before the first Bap
tist hospital was established. This
was the M issouri Baptist Hospital in
St. Louis, opened in 1890. Today
j there are twenty Baptist hospitals in
i fourteen different States. They
I gave treatment last year to 100,000
patients. Loving ministrations were
I given in the name of the Great Phy
sician within these hospital walls.
During the business session the
treasurer, Mrs. R. M. Higdon, re
ported a total offering of $11.90
from three circles.
Reports from the circles and the
young people's organization were
given.
Mrs. H. E. Aderhold, chairman of
mission study, announced that the
ziaator is teaching a mission study
book, "The Winning Witness,” at
prayer meeting. She is offering one
dollar to the circle who has the best
attendance throughout the study.
This study is given preparatory to
our revival meeting, which begins
the third Sunday in June.
Mrs. C. D. Cox, chairman of the
training school, read a letter from
Miss Christian, urging the society to
send our pledge to the training
school scholarship. There are five
girls applying for scholarships from
Georgia. The treasurer was instruct
ed to send out part at once.
Mrs. C. B. Lord gave the personal
service report.
The Dickson Circle will have
charge of the June program.
The ladies will have the church
cleaned. Assignments for the clean
ing were given. The date set was
Tuesday, June 6th.
A motion was made that the ladies
take some action to have some re
pair work done on the church pro
oerty. Mrs. C. B. Lord and Mrs.
M. M. Bryan were appointed to see
the proper church officials about
having the work done at once, pro
mising financial support from the W.
M. S.
The meeting closed with a season
of prayer for our revival meeting.

Calcium arsenate dust is as, if
not more effective for the pre-square
poisoning as the syrup mixture.

Poisoning Schedule Continued, After
The Cotton Begin* to Squar4
Applications of poison after cot
ton commences to square may be
made by the use of a dust gun, or by
the use of a spray machine. The
schedule for both types of poison
ing is the same.
The first application after pre
square poisoning should be made
one week after the first small
squares are seen. A second appli
cation should be made 10 days later.
The third application should be
made four weeks after the last pre
square application. If necessary a
fourth dusting may be applied ap
proximately 5 to 7 days later. The
necessity for further dusting will
depend upon condition of the crop
and degree of infestation. Dust
should be applied at the rate of 4 to
5 pounds per acre for the first two
dustings, and 5 to 7 pounds for
dusting thereafter. If a spray ma
chine is used, use a mixture in the
proportion of 10 pounds of calcium
arsenate to 50 gallons of water (do
not use molasses in this - mixture)
and apply it at the rate of 25 to 30
gallons per acre with a spray ma
chine giving a pressure of 100 to
150 pounds. Tobacco sprayers are
satisfactory. Any good tobacco
sprayer will do the job.
In mixing calcium arsenate for
either pre-square mopping or for
spray mixture, first mix the poison
with enough water to make a thin
paste, adding the poison slowly to
the water, stirring constantly. Al
ways stir the mixture before at
tempting to spray or apply* with a
mop, and keep it stirred constantly.
Picking up the early fallen squares
is an excellent supplementary con
trol method.
Only standard brands of full
strength calcium arsenate are rec
ommended. No other poison has
been found satisfactory.
The cost of materials for either
dust spray or syrup mixture will
amount to approximately 50 cents
per acre per application.
Sufficient equipment should be
available to cover the entire acreage
within 2 days. If the poison remains
on the cotton 24 hours it is usually
effective.
A hand dust gun will take care of
sto 10 acres satisfactorily. A two
row horse drawn machine will take
care of 30 acres, and a power dust
er will handle satisfactorily 60 to
100 acres.

Rose* From Cutting*
The rose admired in a neighbor’s
garden may flourish in your own
yard, if you can get cuttings. Green
wood cuttings can be taken when
ever wood has become firm. A piece
from 3 to 6 inches long, with 3 buds,
makes a cutting of good length. The
cuts are made close below the low
est bud, and a little above the up
per one. Remove ail leaves except
two leaflets at the top of the cut
ting.
Protect cuttings until planted by
dropping them into water or wrap
ping in moist paper. Plant without
delay in sand or light loamy soil, in
small holes or a narrow trench,
about 1 inch apart with the top bud
just above the ground. The sand
must be thoroughly packed around
them.
Water well just after planting,
and enclose the cuttings to keep the
leaves from wilting before roots
Have developed to supply the plant
with moisture. For only a few cut
tings many persons invert a fruit
jar or glass dish over each cutting,
but they must be in partial shade.
As the cuttings begin to take up
moisture, admit a little air. When
roots have formed freely, transplant
to good soil, water well, and shade
from the midday sun for a few days.
Then water moderately until the
plants are established.
Experienced rose growers often
hud or graft desired varieties on
stocks that do well under local cli
matic conditions, but scions and
stocks must be in just the right con
dition for these methods to succeed.
There is no reason why amateur
gardeners may not learn to bud
roses for their own gardens. Farm
ers’ Bulletin 750-F—Roses for the
Home, tells how to propagate and
care for roses. This is a free publi
cation, obtained by writing to the
United States Department of Agri
culture, Washington, D. C.
