KEEP THE WORMS
OUT OF THE FRUIT
Apple and Peach Trees Should
Be Protected.
About the time the little peaches
aie bursting from their shacks the cur
cullo 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.
Wormy 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 bv 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 rheir 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 fann¬
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.
HOW TO DESTROY
THE GARDEN INSECTS
I Several Kinds Of 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 young
plants like tomatoes, egg plants and
peppers. The best method of protec¬
tion against these Insects is a meeban
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 againsi
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

UP FEELING GLORIOUSLY
Wonderful How Calotabs, the
Perfect Nausealess Calomel,
Makes You Feel So Good the
Next Morning.
Doctor; say that the old
style calomel was the best med¬
icine in the world and the only
thing that would straighten
out a disordered liver, but it
had some serious draw backs.
The salivating and the sicken¬
ing after-effects made many
people dead to take it. The new
•alomel called Calotabs, have all
the liver benefits left in and the
sting taken out. Now you can
take calomel without the slight¬
est objection. One Calotab on
the tongue at bedtime with a
swallow of water, that’s all. No
taste, no clauger, no griping, no
nausea, no salts. Next morning
your liver is clean, your system
ourified and you are feeling like
\ two-year-old,—with a hearty
appetite for breakfast. Eat wha
vou please,—no danger.
Calotabs are so delightful
that your druggiist will refund
the prir e if you are not
delighted with them. Sold only
in original sealed packages,
nrice thirty-five cents. All drug
<rrts now have Calotabs. —Adv.
