GOODYEAR JASPER COUNTY IS LEADING STATE IN PEANUT CONTRACTS Middle Georgia County Has More Than 7,000 Acres Under Pledge— Other Counties Making Progress Albany, Ga., June 28.—Enthusiasm for co-operative marketing of peanuts that swept South Georgia into the Georgia Peanut Growers Co-operative Association in record time is being equalled if not actually surpassed in Middle Georgia, where a campaign for contracts is under way. One Middle Georgia county, in fact, has taken first place in the rank of Georgia counties in the matter of acres under contract. This county is Jasper, which has al¬ ready signed contracts covering more than 7,000 acres, thereby surpassing Mitchell and Early, the banner coun¬ ties of South Georgia, in the total num¬ ber of acres pledged, although short of both of them in the number of con¬ tracts. It is estimated that fully 75 per cent of the peanut acreage of Jas¬ per county is under contract. Not only has Jasper made a good showing, but Putnam and other coun¬ ties in that section have also respond¬ ed with enthusiasm. Putnam has about 2,500 acres pledged, which is be¬ lieved to be more than half of the total peanut acreage in that county, if not three-fourths of it. Morgan and Baldwin counties also are signing contracts rapidly, and by the end of the week each is expected to have 75 per cent sign-up completed. The acreage in these counties will not be as large as that in Jasper, but the percentage under pledge is expected to be as high. As soon as the field ser¬ vice men complete Morgan and Bald¬ win counties, they are planning to move into Greene and Oglethorpe, in each of which active county organiza¬ tions have been set up. These county organizations have been of great as¬ sistance to the field service men. Co). Robert E. L. Spence, executive chair¬ man of the Peanut Association, stated. Tn fact, he added, “the excellent re¬ sults accomplished in Jasper and Put¬ nam and now being secured in Bald v in and Morgan would have been im¬ possible without the fine co-operation we have received from the local com mittees, many of whom have left their own work and their own businesses to assist in this new forward movement for Georgia agriculture." Rrgsnization forces of the Peanut Association are setting up county or ganizations in several counties this week, and will continue to set them up in advance of the movements of the field service men. Possibly forty addi . tional counties will be organized be fore fall, extending as far west as Meriwether and Coweta. In upper South Georgia, but outside the original territory of the Peanut Association, organizations have been set up or are being set in Wilcox, Pulaski, Bleckley, Laurens, Wilkin wo and Twiggs counties. Wilcox and Pulaski have signed a number of con tiacts and are expected to have mare than a 50 per cent sign-up in a short time. As soon as this new territory is fully organized and signed up by the Peanut Association, districts wiii be laid out and a director will be elected from e.-mh district by the votes of those who have signed contracts. Directors themselves must be contract signals, and should be selected on account cf their business ability, fredom f-om po¬ litical motives and sound commt n sense.

Ga. 29-30-p THE COVINGTON NEWS, COVINGTON, GEORGIA THE MEXICAN BEAN BEETLE The Mexican bean beetle is becom¬ ing a very serious pest on the legumi¬ nous crops in Georgia, particularly on the garden beans and their close rela¬ tives. It was first reported In the south around Birmingham, Alabama, in July, 1920. Since then it has spread rapidly in Alabama and into Georgia, in which state it has been reported from Darien and Thomasville in the south to all of the northern counties just south of the Tennessee border. The Iteetle has also made its way as far north as Kentucky and Virginia. This insect belongs to a large group of beetles, among which we find the Irish potato bug and many other beetles j that are injurious to young beans, j cantaloupes and like plants. There are also beneficial insects in this group. According to the Alabama publica¬ tions, the bean beetle feeds on snap beans, navy beans, lima or butter beans, corn field beans, beggar weed, cowpeas, flowering beans, soy beans, sweet clover and alfalfa. Velvet beans, crimson clover, lespedeza and vetches are rarely attacked, while peanuts and English peas do not seem to be hurt at all. The adult beetle, when it is mature, is a bronze brown with sixteen black spots. The larva is yellowish and hairy looking and it takes from four to five weeks for the insect to pass from the egg to the adult. The beetles spend the winter as adults, coming out in the early spring to lay their eggs and start their depredations. The state of Alabama has had more experience in fighting the bean beetle than any other state in the south, and they recommend a dust made of four parts of hydrated lime, one part of dusting sulphur and one part of high grade calcium arsenate. These materi¬ als should be well mixed together and used as a dust with a hand duster. If large areas are to be treated, it takes about twenty pounds of the mixture to dutet an acre. The first application should be made as soon as the feeding injury by hibernated beetles becomes common. This is generally about the time the blooming of the beans begins. Treatment should lie repeated every seven days or so on snap bean9. and from four to five applications should lie sufficient to control the pest. On butter beans or lima beans treatment should be every ten days. No fear of poisoning need be entertained from eating beans from dusted fields as beans are always washed w T ell before cooking in the first place, and in the second place very small amounts of dust would be on any individual bean. Early planting for the spring crop is a help in controlling the beetle, and also late planting for the fall crop is recommended. Heavy growling and rapidly growing beans should be used liberal amounts of fertilizer should be applied to stimulate growth so that the beans may afford to lose a few leaves and still make a profitable crop.

This is what was claimed, and it’s just as good now as then: Put a couple of handfuls of the common black-walnut leaves into a vessel of water all night, and next morning boil for fifteen or tw r enty minutes; then when cold take a sponge or rag and moisten the eyes, neck, legs, etc., of a horse; the flies will give those places a w r ide berth. This may or may not be true but it will not cost much to try it. It is said, also, that if carbolic acid soap is rubbed on the neck and legs of a horse he will not be bothered by flies. The strong odor of the soap drives these miserable horse tormentors away; and. besides, the soap gives the ani¬ mal’s coat a fine polish. Take a dry cake of soap and rub on after groom¬ ing. We often refer to certain people as hard headed men of affairs. No men¬ tion, however, is made of the heart. Subscribe for The News. $1.50 a year Mr*, Mildred Pipkin, of R. F.
