EMORY GETS KORAN
1,000 HEARSOLD
BOOK GIVE BY MRS. T. T. HILL¬
MAN OF BIRMINGHAM IS OF
FINEST PARCHMENT AND
WELL PRESERVED.
A copy of the Koran, which was re¬
cently given to the library of Emory
University by Mrs. T. T. Hillman, of
Birmingham, Ala., is more than a thou¬
sand years old, and is in perfect con¬
dition.
The following description of it ap¬
peared recently in the Birmingham
Ledger:
“A representative of the Ledger has
had the pleasure of examining the old¬
est book in Alabama and one of the
handsomest. This is a copy of the Ko¬
ran, hand written and hand embellish¬
ed. The leaves are the finest parch¬
ment. The art of making this parch¬
ment has been lost since the eighth
century. It is almost transparent, and
as a work of art the parchment itself
is truly wonderful.
“The writing is in Arabic and is as
perfect as print. The ink is as clear
and distinct as when made, and it
comi>els us to acknowledge that our
paj>er is not so good as this parch¬
ment, and our print is not prettier than
the hand-writing and we have nothing
so durable.
“Students who have examined this
copy of the Koran say it w T as written
in the eighth century and that it is
one of the rare volumes of the world.
Arabic characters lend themselves
handsomely to the page, and the whole
work is one of art.
“The Koran, as everybody knows, is
the Sacred Book of the Mohammedan
religion, and this work of some pious
scholar of more than a thousand years
ago is exceedingly interesting.”
This is another rare addition to the
library of our Emory University,which
is already one of the finest collections
of books in the south. In the main li¬
brary and in the departmental libra¬
ries of Emory University there are al¬
ready some 75.000 volumes.

Fight San Jose Scale
With Lime-Sulphur
T. H. MoHatton, Prof. Horticulture,
Ga. State College Of Agriculture.
Perhaps the most important spray
in the orchard should be applied dur
ins the fall, especially is this true
where trees are badly infested with
scale.
The spray should be put on the
trees after the heavy frosts have de¬
foliated them. The material to use
is the concentrated lime-sulphur wash.
It is made as follows: Make 80 pounds
of flowers of sulphur, or ground up
sulphur, into a paste with water ;
put 40 pounds of the best quick lime
into a boiler and slake; add the sul¬
phur paste and fifty gallons of wa¬
ter and boll for sixty minutes, re¬
place the water boiled away and ‘.here
will be fifty gallons of concentrated
lime-sulphur In hand.
If one has a hydrometer, test the
concentrate and dilute until the hy
drometer shows a specific gravity of
1.03 to 1.04 or a reading of from 4
to 5 degrees Resume. If one has
no hydrometer dilute the home made
lime-sulphur by using one gallon of
the concentrate to 6 or 7 gallons of
water.
Apply to the trees after all tin
leaves have fallen, during late No¬
vember or early December. Where
the scale is serious ibis is a most
important spraying.
Kill the Weevils
In Stored Grain
John R. Fain, Prof. Agronomy, Ga
State College Of Agriculture.
la the southern part of Georgia es¬
pecially, the grain weevil will do great
damage to stored grain. Seed grain
especially requires protection. The
grain should he treated with carbon
bisulphide. One pound of the liquid
put in a cup on top of the grain will
treat one ton of grain. The fumes
from the carbon-bisulphide being heav¬
ier than air sink down through the
pile of grain and destroy the weevils.
The grain should be in, a tight bin,
barrels or other receptacles that can
be closed tightly. Until the treatment
is complete, no one should approach
the treated grain with a light, burn¬
ing pipe or fire in any form. The gas
produced is highly explosive.
Two insects cause the weevil dam¬
age, the granery weevil and the an
goumois moth. To be on the safe side
it would be well to treat grain imme¬
diately after storing and again in the
latter part of winter. Corn taken from
stalks that have been stripped of their
fodder is infested with weevils worse
than corn not stripped because the
fodder-stripped corn has a tendency
to open its husks and let the insects in.
If a community desires to buy car¬
bon-bisulphide cheaply the College of
Agriculture can provide information as
to how to save money.
County Agent Harper of Tattnal
county discovered the boll weevil in
Ais territory about the first of October,
showing that the weevil has swept
nearly across the state in a season.
