KEEP THE WORMS
: OUT OF THE FRUIT
Apple and Peach Trees Should
Be Protected.
About the time the little' peaches
are bursting from their shucks the cur
culio is laying eggs and feeding. These
eggs soon hatch into tiny little grubs.
These grubs bore into the little peaches
and develop into the ‘ worm” so com
monly found in these fruits.
Wonny peaches are very undesir
able as they cannot be shipped and a
great deal of the fruit has to be cut
away if the peach is used for culinary
purposes. Every effort should be made
to keep the worms out of peaches. This
can be easily done by properly spray
ing.
Arsenate of lead at the rate of one
pound of the powdered material and
one pound of quick lime to 50 gallons
of water should be applied to the lit
tle peaches just about the time they
are bursting out of their shucks.
It is sometimes well to use self
boiled lime and sulphur solution with
this application of arsenate of lead.
Particularly is this true if some dis
eases of the peach were prevalent and
serious last year.
A second spraying of self-boiled lime
sulphur and arsenate of lead should
be made about three weeks after the
first. For varieties of peaches ripen
ing before Elbertas this is sufficient.
Apples are also attacked by an in
sect which makes a worm in the fruit.
This insect is known as the coddling
moth. It lays its eggs just after the
petals fall from the apple trees.
In order to control this pest it is
necessary to spray these little fruits
when they are still erect, and before
the lobes of the calyx close. This
means that the apples should be spray
ed a few days after the petals have
fallen from the trees.
For this spraying arsenate of lead
at the rate of from one and one-half
to two pounds, the same quantity of
quick lime to 50 gallons of water should
be used. In three weeks this spray
ing should be repeated. Concentrated
lime and sulphur diluted to summer
strength should be used with it.
With the high cost of living all farm
ers should use every possible precau
tion against wormy fruit this year.
For more definite information get in
touch with your county demonstration
agent, or write direct to the College
of Agriculture, Athens, Georgia.

THE GARDEN INSECTS
Several Kinds Os Sprays Are
Suggested.
The garden is more or less effected
by insects every year. About the most
serious ones are those that eat the
leaves. These leaf-eating insects can
be readily controlled by spraying with
arsenate of lead in small quantities.
This material can be used at the rate
of one ounce to one gallon of water.
In order to make it stick well it is
recommended that about one ounce
of soap be dissolved to the gallon of
water.
This material is used against bean
beetle, Irish potato beetle, and any
other insects that eat the foliage of
the plant.
There are some garden insects that
are sucking insects. That is, they ob
tain their food by sucking the juices
from the plants. An application of
soap solution, using one pound in six
to eight gallons of water, or of nico
tine sulphate using a teaspoonful to the
gallon of water, will be found a good
spray against such pests.
When cabbage and lettuce heads be
come well covered with lice, it is ad
visable to remove the badly infested
plants and destroy them.
Cut worms are one of the most se
rious pests in the garden, especially
is this true when one sets out youny
plants like tomatoes, egg plants and
peppers. The best method of protec
tion against these insects is a median
ical one.
Cut stiff paper into strips two and
one-half to three inches wide and four
to five inches long. Make a collar
out of this paper and place it around
the plants holding the ends together
with a common pin. Let half of the
paper be below the ground and half
of it above. The cut worm will seldom
crawl over this collar and attack the
plant inside.
When using arsenate of lead against
insects it is a good practice to make
up a Bordeaux mixture and spray on
the plants. This Bordeaux mixture
can be made by using one ounce of
bluestone dissolved in two quarts of
water. Two pounds of quick lime are
slaked in two quarts of water and
these are poured together through a
fly screen, into which may be put one
ounce of arsenate of lead and one
ounce of soap.

SWEET POTATOES MAY
BE TREATED FOR ROl
Losses May Be Lessened By Single
Methods.
Between four and five million bush
els of sweet potatoes were lost in
Georgia last year from potato dis
eases, and the astounding fact is that
these diseases may be controlled by
simple and inexpensive methods.
Some of the diseases attack the
sweet potato before harvesting and
others while it is In storage. Ihe
latter class Is known as “moulds' and
it proves very destructive to food
stuffs generally. The most common
diseases of the sweet potato are
black rot, scurf, soft rot and blue
mould.
practically all of the diseases may
be controlled by three very simple
methods—crop rotation, seed selec
tion and seed treatment. Black rot
and scurf may be carried over in the
soil from a previous year’s crop of
potatoes or they may be Introduced
on diseased manure or diseased slips,
hence the advisability of having a
new seed bed every year and planting
some other crop or crops In rotation
with the sweet potato which are not
affected by the same diseases.
Planting potatoes should be select
ed from disease-free hills. Just be
fore bedding the seed potatoes should
be treated to destroy rot spores on
the surface. For seed treatment one
ounce of Bichloride of mercury is dis
solved in eight gallons of water by
suspending the crystals in a loose
sack just below the surface of the
water Never use metal container
for the bichloride solution but a wood
en tub or barrel. The potatoes are
placed In loosely woven sacks and
dipi>ed into the solution for not less
than ten minutes or more than twen
ty. The potatoes are then removed
from the liquid and bedded at once

BRIGHT PROSPECTS
FOR THE DAIRYMAN
Exports Are Continually Grow
ing Larger.
There Is every reason to expect that
the demand for dairy cattle, milk and
its products will continue to increase.
Although dairy cattle have increased
from twenty million to approximately
twenty-four million since the beginning
of the war, yet the demand for cattle
of all breeds and grades seems to be
on the increase. Especially Is this
true since the signing of the armistice
between the allied nations and the cen
tral powers. This demand has been
increased on account of there being
shipping facilities for exporting these
different products.
However, we do not expect to ship
as many dairy cattle as the average
fanner expects us to ship to European
countries. European farmers are not
able to pay the price for these cattle,
and what Is going to be done will be
a building up of the already depleted
herds of those countries rather than
pay the high prices that American cat
tle demand. It seems, therefore, that
the people of the devastated countries
will demand dairy products to that
extent that unless we increase the
number of cattle In this country we,
ourselves, will suffer a great deal.
The following figures will show the
extent of our exportation of dairy prod
ucts to these countries. These ex
ports are at the present on the de
cline. In 1910 there were exported to
European countries:
Condensed milk . . .13,312,000 pounds
Cheese 2,846,709 pounds
Butter ...... 3,140,545 pounds
In 1918 there were exported to Eu
ropean countries:
Condensed milk . .529.750,032 pounds
Cheese 44,330,978 pounds
Butter 17,735,966 pounds
We should expect then that
the people of Europe would be
knocking at our doors continually
for dairy products in the
next decade or more. This demand
would undoubtedly decrease, but by
that time under proper methods ol
advertising dairy products in this
country, we would have developed
such a demand among our people
that there would not be any decrease
in the price of these products.
GOOD WORK DONE
BY COUNTY AGENTS
According to Director J. Phil Camp
bell, 79,746 Georgia farmers worked
in co-operation with the county agents
of the Georgia State College of Agri
culture last year as “demonstrators."
These men represented the best agri
cultural thought and practice in their
respective communities and under the
dtrection of the county agents cultivat
ed 471,857 acres of corn, cotton and
other farm crops for demonstratior
purposes. -
