FREE BULLETINS ISSUED BY STATE BOARD OF ENTOMOLOGY Atlanta, Ga., March 25. (Special) The Georgia State Board of Ento mology now has ready for distribution several bulletins of importance to Georgia farmers and fruit growers, in the beginning of the growing season. The board is now sending out Bul letin No. 52 on Cotton Variety Tests for 1918, prepared by A. C. Lewis, state entomologist, and C. A. McLendon, expert in cotton breeding. This bulletin gives results from variety tests conducted last year in Dooly, Sumter, Stewart, Glynn, Han cock, Floyd, Burke and Fulton coun ties. These tests show that in South Georgia, under boll weevil and wilt conditions, the wilt resistant varieties, such as Lewis 63, Council-Toole and DeSoto, give much better results than the ordinary varieties that are not wilt resistant. Thus, at Americus, of the variety of which 60 per cent died from the wilt disease, the total value of the lint and seed per acre was 151.13, while the total value of the lint and seed per acre from the Lewis 63, of which only 5 per cent died of wilt disease, was $196.66. The variety tests in North Georgia show some interesting results and bring out the fact very strikingly that varieties of cotton that do best in South Georgia, do not give the same results in North Georgia, and vice j versa. How And When To Spray A spray calendar for Georgia, Bui- j letin No. 53, will be issued at once, | and those desiring it, may write for it now. This bulletin gives directions j for preparng most of the common in- 1 secticides and fungicides. The most j common insects and diseases are also j dealt with. The bulletin is prepared j in the form of a calendar and can be hung on the wall for future reference.' Spraying is just as necessary as preparation of the soil, cultivation, pruning or fertilizing, if one desires to secure a profitable crop. The impor-1 tant things to know are “How to spray,” “When to spray,” and “What 1 insecticides or fungicides to use.” It is out of the question to lay down . definite rules for spraying. Some in- j sects may be fought after they appear; others must be checked in advance of their appearance. Plant dis- | eases must be prevented rather than cured after they attack a plant. Watch >ach crop carefully, find out what Cochran Awarded District School. : Atlanta, Ga., March 28.—The new Twelfth District Agricul tural and Mechanical School au thorized by the last Genera! Assembly will be located at Cochran, Bh-ckley county. This action was taken by the trustees of the school at a meeting in the office of Gov. Dorsey to-day, when the location was awarded the second time. Cochran failed to meet the requirements last year. The cities of Dublin and Coch ran were the only competitors for the school and considerable rivalry had developed. New bids were called for in February and on March 19, the new bids were submitted. Under these bids the city of Cochran agrees to give 200 acres of farm land, twelve acres of campus, one brick college build ing, one frame building, free water, lights and sewerage for ten years, and $25,000 in cash. Dublin’s bid called for 200 acres of land, free light, water; and sewerage for twenty years j and $56,000 in cash. The vote of the trustees was 7 ’ to 5, with one trustee not voting. ; . I Americus Hogs Wanted in lowa. Americus, Ga., March 29.—An order just received by W. T. j Calhoun, manager of the Arles plantation here, for five fine gilts of Orion Cherry King breeding from a hog breeder from Algonia, j la., illustrates aptly the fame of: this section as a stock raising community, as wall as indicating; the progress attained in that in dustry here. Recently Dr. Thad Wise of Plains, sold a year-old Duroc gilt for-t 250, and a solid carload of yearling gilts shipped this week from the Arles plantation to another Georgia breeder brought a fancy price. Stock raisers here are not only producing large quantities of registered stuck fur breeding, but are also raising vast numbers of meat animals. Shipments of hogs and cattle 1 from Sumter county last year ( netted farmers approximately! $150,000, and it is expected this income will be largely increased during the present season. the insect or disease is that attacks it and employ the most effective spray. If in doubt, send specimens of the insect or diseased plant to the state entomologist, Atlanta, Ga. Extensive and general information on plant in sects and diseases will be found in the bulletins on entomology issued by state departments of entomology, state colleges, experiment stations and the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Write them about the Insect prob lems in which you are interested, and they will be glad to furnish you their bulletins free of charge. Insecticides, for killing Insects, most be properly made and ap plied at the right time. Mistakes mar not only render your spraying use less, but may injure or kill the plant. There are two classes of Insects which must be taken into con sideration, the biting insects like the potato beetle, cabbage worm and oth ers, and the sucking insects like plant lice and scale insects. The food of the biting insects must be poisoned, and for this purpose some form of ar senic is generally used. For the suck ing insects there must be used an insecticide which has a smothering, caustic or corroding effect. Kerosene emulsion is an example of such an insecticide. Bulletin On Appies- In addition to those already men tioned, Bulletin No. 54, on Apple In sects and Diseases and their Control, will soon be issued. This bulletin takes up quite in detail most of the 1 common insects and diseases attack ing the Apple in Georgia, and gives full and complete directions for their i control. The Georgia State Board of Ento mology is now trying to serve as ! many people as possible, and furnish them all desired information regard ing the control of Insects and plant diseases by which their crops may be attacked. If you find an insect, or disease working on any of your creps, 1 and do not know what it is or how j to control it, send a specimen of the plant, together with the insects, to the State Board of Entomology, At lanta, and they will be glad to tell you just what to do. Copies of any or all of the bulletins mentioned, may be secured free by writing to A. C. Lewis, State Ento mologist, Atlanta, Ga. IrrsTßirr HELPED DOUGHBOY Corporal Irving Abrahams of New York has just returned from France. Just because the Y. M. C. A. men overseas had gone out of their way to treat him well, he took the trouble to make his way to the Headquarters Building of the National War Work Council, Y. M. C. A., New York City, and found some one on the 9th floor at Headquarters to tell how much he ap preciated the service of the Red Trian gle. ( This is just a part of what he said: ”1 returned from France on the 27th of January. Have been wounded throe times. Am feeling fine, but the first time when we landed over in France in April, 1917, we took the .position up on Chateau Thierry and the Y. M. C. A. was right with us and brought up on the firing line choco late, cigarettes, and also pears, bis cuit and done the best and all he could just to please the boys. “And in August when we drove the Germans back he came up under heavy shell fire and brought us the same chocolate, cigarettes, and if the boys didn’t have any money he would give it to us just the same. “And up on the Argonne Forest he went under heavy shell fire and brought up all the candy and choco late, and also spoke to the boys to send our money to our mothers and which we did, and also he told us to send our money home and he will do all he can for us, and also the boys of the Third Division is very well pleas ed of the Y. M. C. A. and also thank them ever so much; and also when we got relieved from the Argonne woods the Y. M. C. A. entertained us, gave us a grand time, and we thank the Y. M. C. A. with our full heart and we shall never forget them. "So I don’t see why the fellows are coming back from France and kicking the Y. M. C. A., and*l can speak to anybody and ask them why they are knocking the Y. M. C. A.” ReJ Triangls Man Tells Os Serving At Chateau Thierry The Y. M. C. A. has been criticized because it was said that it had no one at the fighting in the region of Cha leau Thierry. The other day, Ernest C. Bardwell, a New York man, came back from France, broken in health because of his strenuous work in that region. Mr. Bardwell was one of a party of Y. M. C. A. men who entered Cha teau Thierry village with supplies at 10 o'clock on the morning of July 22 and worked all day and far into the i night serving the boys who were beat ing back the German counter-attacks. The last German prisoners, he said, were taken out of Chateau Thierry at I i: 30 o’clock on the same morning. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR-THURSDAY, APRIL 3, 1910. HAYNES M’FADDEN HEADS CAMPAIGN IN VICTORY LOAN Widely-Known Financial Editor Suc ceeds W. C. Wardlaw, Who Bo comes Associate Director Haynes McFadden, of Atlanta, pub lisher of the Southern Banker, has been appointed chairman of the ex ecutive committee for the Sixth Fed eral District in the Victory Loan cam paign, it was announced this week by Governor Joseph A. McCord, head of the district war loan organization. He succeeds W. C. Wardlaw, chairman for four successful campaigns, who has been made associate director and as sistant to Governor McCord in the war loan work. Mr. McFadden has b ?eu active in former campaigns, and was vice chairman in the fourth Liberty Loan drive. Haynes McFadden A very large proportion of the coun ties in the Southern States have adopt ed the individual quota system for the Victory Loan, and expect thereby to distribute the investments In securi ties over wider ground. By this sys tem, every citizen will be assigned a ieflnite quota which he is expected to ake, just as states and counties have heir quotas. This will be based on Vis income and property, and will be -iubject to ehange by a local appeals committee if he feels his quota has ueen fixed at too high a figure. In previous campaigns, counties vhich used the individual quota plan vent over the top quickly and by a arge margin, without placing the bur len of heavy investments on compar itively few patriotic citizens. This lan makes every man feel certain that ’- neighbor also is carrying his share ♦he obligation to his country. THE VICTORYToAN MUST BE FLOATED WE’LL FINISH THE JOB Fathers And Mothers Os Boys Who Risked All Will See That .The Bills Are Paid The Victory Loan, fifth and last of the national Liberty Loans, will be put over in the campaign beginning April 21 and continuing three weeks, as enthusiastically and completely as were the preceding loans. That is cer tain, as indicated by the responses from the loyal workers who are ready to give their services to their" country until the Job is finished and the bills all paid. Whatever spirit of “let down” that may have followed the signing of the armistice is rapidly disappearing, and the whole country is awakening to the realization that the war is not over and will not be over until the last of the American soldiers is safe at home again and every dollar of the gigantic war bill paid. The fathers and moth ers of the boys who went, overseas or to camp, who risked their lives for their country—and many of them gave life or limb—will not quit until the job is finished, any more than the sol diers quit over there. The Victory Loan campaign will soon be on. The government has de cided upon a five b’Jion dolar issue of ;hort term securities, to be repaid within five years, and bearing attrac tive inf crest rates. Secretary Glass believe* this form of security will com rnand 8 better market price as -r the campa'.rn than would bonds Issu'd for a longer term of years. Every man in the country will be asked soon to subscribe to the Victory Loan. It is time to be getting ready for It. SHORT TERM BONDS. The government has decided upon short term bonds, to be redeemed In from one to five years, for the Victory Loan, instead of bonds maturing in fifteen to twenty years. Secretary of the Treasury Carter Glass feels convinced that these se curities will command a higher market price than those covering a longer pe riod. | MONEY IN THE j j BANK | The public is hereby advised that I have per fected arrangements to make a few short term 0 loans, running until the fall. If you need money to hold your cotton, for investment, or 0 for other immediate use, see me at once. You can get the money the same day you make the application. Supply limited. SEE ME AT ONCE O j J.
