PAGE TWO 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 GEORGIA—Jasper County. To Whom It May Concern: J. E. Hill of said State, having, in proper form, applied, as a person se lected by the next of kin, for letters of administration on estate of Mary Kelly late of said county, this is to cite all and singular the creditors and heirs of Mary Kelly to be and appear at my office at the March term of the court of Ordinary of said county, and show cause, if any they can, why per manent letters should not be granted to said J.

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. Harvey Hardware Company ‘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. ’GEORG!A—Jasper County.
