FIE BULLETINS ISSUED BY
STATE BOARS 9F ENTOMOLOGY
Atlanta, Oa., March 25,
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 Bui
letin No. 52 on Cotton Variety Tests
for 1018, 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,
cock, Floyd, Burke and Fulton coun
lies. These tests show that in South
Georgia, under boll weevil and wilt
conditions, the wilt resistant varieties,
such as Lewis 63, Councll-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
•f the lint and seed per acre was
$$1.13, while the total value of the
lint and seed per acre from the Leads !
63, of which only 5 per cent died of
wilt disease, was $196.66. 1
.
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

Hew And When To Spray
A spray calendar for Georgia, Bui
letin No. 53, will be issued at once,
and those desiring It, may write for
it now. This bulletin gives directions
for preparing most of the common in
seeiicides and fungicides. The most
common insects and diseases ere also
dealt with. The bulletin is prepared
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¬
tant things to know are “How to
spray,'' ''When to spray," and “What
insecticides or fungicides to use.”
U is out of the question to lay down
definite rules for spraying. Some in¬
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 aftey they attack a plant. Watch
(j»ch crop carefully, find out what
the Insect, or disease la 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, <3a, Extensive
and general information on plant in
sect » and diseases will be found in the
bulletins on entomology issued by
stat ® departments of entomology,
3tat e colleges, experiment stations and
the U. S. Department of Agriculture.
Write them about the lnsec * brob
lems in which you are interested, and
will be glad to furnish you their
bulletins free of charge,
Insecticides, for killing insects,
must be properly made and ap
plied at the right time. Mistakes may
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 cpn
sideration, the biting insects like the
potato beetle, cabbage worm aud oth
ers, and the sucking insects like plant
lice and scale insects. The food of
the biting inseots must be poisoned,
and for this purpose some form of ar
senlc Is generally used. For the suclt
ing insects there must be used an
insecticide which has a smothering,
caustic or corroding effect. Kerosene
emulsion is an example of such an
Bulletin On Apple*
In addition to those already men
Bulletin No. 5A, on Apple In
sects and Diseases and their Control,
will soon be issued. This bulletin
takes up quite in detail most of tho
common insects and diseases attack
ing the Apple in Georgia, and gives
full and complete directions for their
control.
The Georgia State Board of Ento¬
mology' is now trying to serve as
many people as possible, and furnish
them all desired infqrtnation 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 crops,
and do not know what it ia or how
to control it, send a specimen of the
plant, together with the ,insects, to
the 'State Board of Entomology, At¬
lanta, and they will b* glad to tell
you just what to do.
Copies of any or all of the bulletins
mentioned, may be secured free by
j writing to A. C. Lewis, State Ento
j mologist, Atlanta, Ga
