to the point, always (five your name 1
and postoflice. and addressed to the

J. Moreland, Ua. : I’lcase send me
all the bulletins of your station treat
ing on the following subjects . Drape
lllaek Ilot and other diseases of same;
Apple I’ests of all kinds; l*eaeh Borer,
Blum curculio, etc.
Also please state the best sprayer to
use as a preventive, insecticide and
fungicide. Dive ail information you
can and oblige.
Answer, by 11. N. Starnes, Horticul
turist—!. No bulletin yet issued by the
station covers any of these subjects.
A recent publication “Fungus Diseas
es of the grape and other plants" by F.
Damson Scribner, of the Tennessee Ex
periment Station, and for sale by J. T.
Lovett ifk Co. Little silver. N. J., will
give you complete information on the
subject of Fungi.
Insects and their destruction are ad
mirably covered by William Saunders in
"Insects injurious to Fruits” published
by J. B. Lippineott A Co., Philadel
phia.
These two books will many times re
pay their cost if purchased and studied.
i. Peach Borer. Ilemove earth in
December from boles of trees —now, if
not already done, though it is late for
it. Punch out larva*, (borers) with a
shoe-awl. Make a wash of consistency
of thick whitewash in proportion of
one bushel lime, to four pounds sul
phur, slack in a barrel and while in
ebullition stir in the sulphur. Apply
with brush to roots of trees, when it
has cooled, as far down as ean lie
reached and for six inches above
ground on tin* Dunk. Leave exposed
till middle of March : then re-cover,
hilling up for several inches around
trunk. This will not prevent borers
from reappearing and the process will
have to be repeated during the next
winter and yearly—but it keeps the
borer from doing any serious damage,
:t. The best Fungicide is Bordeaux
Mixture. For some purposes the am
moniacal solution of copper carbonate.
Formulae as follows:
(a) Bordeaux Mixture; Dissolve «
pounds copper sulphate, orbluestone, in
10 gallons water, slack in separate ves
sel 4 pounds liine, adding, when slack
ened, sufficient water to make a thick
whitewash; pour the bluestone solu
tion into a 50 gallon barrel aud slowly
add the whitewash, straining through
a sack or seive; stir thoroughly and
mixture is ready for use.
(b) Aminoniacal solution of copper
carbonate: Dissolve 5 ounces copper
carbonate in :i pints of strong aqua
ammonia; when completely dissolved
pour the solution into a barrel of 45 or
50 gallon capacity and fill with water,
Always add sufficient water to the cop
per carbonate to make a thick paste
before pouring on the ammonia.
4. Best general Insecticides are I’aris
Dreen and London Purple sold in form
of a powder; may be applied separate
ly dissolved in from 100 to sSOO gallons
of water to one pound of the poison,
witli the addition of a pound of lime to
lessen injury to foliage, llad better,
however, he applied in combination
with Bordeaux mixture.
5. General directions for Spraying,

rdeaux mixture just before leaves
out, repeating every ten days till
Ist, after which use copper carbo
e solution three times at teu day in

e i. : praying tirst at time of opening
1 i do;.s.mis and two weeks thereafter
x, .1 line Ist.
(e) Peaches -The leaf is too tender
to risk damage at tile hands of an inex
perienced manipulator, so no spraying
is advised. Use dusting bellows and
flour of sulphur at intervals through sea
son.

notes on this really important subject

advice or information is of course im
possible in such brief space.]
('. W. 8., Beaver Dam, Da., I have a
broomsedge field which has been out
for a few years that I want to plow
under this winter for corn or cotton.
Which will be best for the land, and
how much fertilizers can l use to profit,
anil what kind?
Answer by Director Bedding. Burn
off the broomsedge as quickly as possi
ble (it would have been well to turn it
under last September or October), and
immediately turn uhder the stubble
very shallow, so that it will decay in
time for the next crop. The same ma
nures that have given best results on
adjoining cultivated land will do well
on this. For cotton apply to each acre
■JiK) pounds of acid phosphate, 100
pounds of cottod uiuai and 15 pounds of
muriate of potash (or 00 pounds kanit).
Or you may safely double these quan
tities. preserving the same proportions.
If for corn 1 would use 150 pounds of
cotton meal instead of 100. The fact
that the land lias been lying out and
has thereby accumulated considerable
vegetable matter will enable it to bear
heavier manuring than the same qual
ity of land that has been continuously
cultivated. Early in March, if for corn,
or April, if for cotton, run a sharp har
row over the inverted sedge sod until
cut or torn to pieces. Then open deep
furrows, four feet apart, distribute 300
to 000 pounds of the fertilizer per acre,
mix the same well with the soil by run
ning a scooter furrow once or twice,
bed up well, plowing deep. Just be
fore plowing harrow the beds smooth
and plant in the liest variety you can
get. If in cotton you may reasonably
expect an increased yield of 000 to soil
pounds compared with the unaided
yield of the soil using (500 pounds per
acre. 1 would not use more than 300
pounds if planted in eorn.
W. L. M., Atlanta, lia., writes: l.
How shall 1 prepare soil for hot-bed?
2. What is the best hedge to plant for
fence purposes?
Answer, by 11. N. Starnes. Horticul
turist. 1. 1 lot-bed—soil for same
should l>e prepared as follows: Make
bottom layer of stable manure 1? or 13
inches in depth, before using manure
throw into heap of sufficient size to
generate beat, turning, say, twice, or
more until rank heat is expelled. In
ten days time the inass will be in con
dition to put in your frame. After
spreading, tread firmly and cover with
six inches of good soil or humus. l)o
not plant seed until a thermometer,
introduced, shows that the heat from
the fermentation of the manure be
neath is beginning to decline from
100°. Keep moist and ventilate care
fully on sunny days. (ireat caution is
necessary in this particular as com
bined heat of seed and the interior
fermentation, may. in an hour, run the
temperature so high as to fatally in
jure the contents of the bed.
2. Protective hedges. You will find
the morianna Plum the best and cheap
est fence hedge. It is tough, hardy,
thorny—grows readily from cuttings
ami responds to the shears, growing
low and branching densely. Plant in
triple rows. Any nursery will lie able
to supply the cuttings.
M, A., Summerville, (la., I have a
field that was in oats last year, it wa*
not turned under last fall. I want to
plant it in cotton. How should it be
prepared ?
Answer by J. M. Kimbrough, Agri
culturist —You made a great mistake
in not turning under the oat 6tubble
last fall. I would now break with 0-
horse plow, not over (5 inches dnep, a*
soon as (Misstble, and about the tuiudle
or last of March burrow it well with a
cutaway, or with a spading harrow.
Lay off into 3b, or * feet rows with
scooter followed by a 10-iuch shovel
Drill in your fertilizers in the shovel
furrow. Bun a scooter through the
fertilizer and lied in the usual way.
Knock off the ts*ds with a board oi
harrow, jud before planting.
C. M. €., Forsyth, Da., Dealers in
fertilizers are contending that ? per
cent of ammonia in a fertilizer, it de
rived from blood, is equal to S per cent
of ammonia derived from cotton seed
meal. We would be glad to have .youi
opinion ins this subject—whether based
on experience, or otherwise, if thit
claim is correct we want the farmers
to know it.
Answer by Director Bedding.—The
claim is without substantial founda
tion in theory or practice. The effect
of dried blood is very similar to that ol
cotton seed meal. At the same price
per “unit' of nitrogen (ammonia) 1
would prefer the meal, because the
latter contains notable qualtities ol
phosphoric acid and potash, while the
blood contains little more than a trace.
Neither blood nor meal contains any
ammonia, proper, as the nitrogen it
present in organic form.
We have tried blood in direct competi
tion with cotton meal.
J. E. I’.. Hatchers Station. Da., —I
have some old fields that have been in
pine thickets for a number of years
very goixi, stiff red clay soil. (1) How
should it he prepared for cotton?
Best fertilizer and how much? My idea
is that phosphate is best for such land.
(3) What time should the cotton be
planted and what distance apart.
Answer by Director Redding.—(l)
Such land requires no special treat
ment. The long rest from cultivation
and the growth of old field pines, etc.,
inis resulted in an increase An the sup
ply of available phosphoric acid, pot
ash and nitrogen; but the soil will
stii! require a liberal application of a
complete fertilizer in order to produce
a large crop, f?) As you suggest, phos
phoric acid is the principle clement re
quired : but 1 would advise a “com
plete" fertilizer, about us follows:
Acid phosphate - - - - ?■ ’ I J pounds
C 8 Meal .... 130
Kliinit .... 50 “
453 “
Apply tlit* above to each acre. Break
the ground close and deep ; lay off rows
to 4 feet apart, and deposit allot
the fertdizer in these rows, except
about 50 or 75 pounds, and bed on it,
first running a scooter furrow through
the fertilizer to mix it well with the
soil, Det the best seed you can find,
plant about April 10 to 15, apply the
reserved fertilizer in the drill with the
seed. Thin to a stand, one plat every
15 to 1H inches as soon as the fourth
leaf appears. Cultivate shallow aud
often, going over at least every two
weeks.
