STATE BOARD OF ENTOMOLOGY
TELLS ABOUT PEACH SPRAYING
. Atlanta, Ga., March.—(Special.)—
Peach growers throughout Georgia are
urged by the State Department of En
tomology to make immediate prepara
tion for their summer spraying
against curculio, brown rot and scab.
The department has prepared the
following summer spray schedule
which, if carefully carried out, with the
right mixtures, and the right kind of
spraying machinery, will afford a
practical and sure control against
these three enemies of the Georgia
peach:
The first spraying, which is for cur
culio, should be done just as the
shuoks are shedding. Use % of a
pound of powdered arsenate of lead,
or 1% pounds of paste, in a milk-of
lime solution made with 50 gallons
of water and three pounds of lump
lime. Use a wide-angle nozzle throw
ing a flne mist, and cover both fo
liage angd fruit lightly but thoroughly.
Do not drench the trees.
The second spraying, which is for
brown rot, curculio and scab, should
occur four weeks after the petals drop,
which is usually about three weeks
after the first spraying. Use self
cooked lime sulphur and powdered ar
senate of lead 8-14-50; or use atomic
sulphur according to the directions
on container, If paste lead is used,
the amount should be one pound.
Spray lightly but thoroughly so that
the peaches will be pebbled on all
sides with the spray. Use the same
wide-angle nozzle as for the first. If
you do not know how to make seif
cooked lime sulphur, the Department
of Entomology will furnish free di
rections on request.
The Third Spraying
The third summer spraying, against
curculio, brown rot and scab, should
be done one month before the ripen
ing period, and the same materials
and formula should be used as for
the second summer spraying. But this
time the disc opening of the nozzle
should be larger, so as to give a
coarser spray and a heavier coating
to the fruit.
It is extremely important to use the
right type of nozzle in this summer
spraying, as results are greatly influ
enced by this factor.
The schedule given above is for all
varieties of peaches ripening in mid
season. FEarly maturing varieties
should receive only two sprayings, and
fall-ripening varieties four,
This is a complete schedule of the
spraying still necessary for the 1917
peach crop, as it is assumed that the
winter spraying for San Jose scale
has already been done.
i Destructive Diseases
! The curculio, brown rot and scab,
against which the sprayings above de
scribed are directed, are all three so

As The 801 l Weevil
s Making lts Appearance
It behooves us to make our changes as rapidly as possible—
and to do this we will have to make preparation for early
planting.
We have all the farm tools and farm implements that
you are looking for—plow gear and plows of every descrip
tion and blacksmith tools to beat the band.
Now is the time to do your fencing. We have it, and
a full line of hardware, and prices are right.
We will try as we have always done to make it to
your interest to trade with us.

‘well known to Georgia peach growers,
a 8 to require little description,
The curculio is a beetle, the larva
of which is nothing more nor less than
the familiar white worm that you
sometimes bite into when eating
peaches. It is the greatest insect
enemy of the peach.
Brown rot is a fungus disease, which
attacks blossoms, twigs and fruit, and
which was a destructive and baffling
malady until the proper spraying con
trol was discovered.
Peach scab is a very common dis
ease, particularly in late maturing va
rieties, It is also caused by a fungus,
growing in the skin of the fruit, and
appearing in small round, smoky
brown or black spots. It also attacks
the twigs.
Spraying Must Be Thorough
While spraying, 'when efficiently
done, is a sure and practical control
of these three pests, it is important
that the spraying be thorough, and ac
cording to directions. Adequate spray
ing machinery, to suit the size and
conditions of your orchards, is a ne
cessity. The State Department of En
tomology will furnish a bulletin on
request giving specific information as
to just what machinery you need and
how to procure it. This bulletin by
Assistant Entomologist W. W. Chase,
also goes into detail as to treatment
against all Peach insects and dis
eases.
If you have any trouble with terra
pin or “turtle back” scale, an insect
scale that has to be reckoned with in
some localities of the state, some scl
uble oil like Scalecide should be ap
plied in the spring just before the buds
open, in a solution of 1 to 15.
Remedy for the Borer
But there is one arch-pest of the
peach tree that spraying cannot reach,
and that has to be combatted by an
other method, It is the peach tree
borer which is the greatest cause, di
rectly or indirectly, of mortality among
peach trees. As soon as growers fully
understand and apply the proper meth
ods of control, the peach tree borer,
however, will cease to be the menace
that it is today, for there is an ef
fective method, namely, mounding and
worming at the right time.
While the adult msect is a moth,
the thing which causes the trouble is
the larva or worm. It has eight pairs
of legs, a body sometimes an inch
long, white or muddy-white in color,
and is armed with a pair of powerful
jaws. It feeds on the bark and sap
wood of the tree.
Washing the trunk, wrapping with
paper, exposing the roots have all fail
ed. The trees should be mounded late
in July to a height cf about 10 inches,
and the latter part of October the
mounds removed and the trees scraped
with worming hooks, throwing the
gum and dead bark several feet from
the tree. Most of the larvae are on
the outside at this time and can be
removed by scraping. If worming is
too long delayed, it becomes necessary
to cut into the tree to remove the
wWOorms.
