ACH LEAF-CURL
11 !S PARTICULARLY BAD IN THE
NORTH GEORGIA O RCH-
ARDS THIS SEASON.
present crop threatened
In Some Localities It May Be Par
tially Destroyed—Experiments
Show It Can Be Controlled.
[ B y V,-. M. SCOTT, STATE ENTOMOLOGIST. [
jVi the past several years this disease,
popularly Imowu as “leaf cnrl,’ : and
tf*ditiically known as exoascus deform-
auSi pas been quite prevalent in the
p t , ;l ch orchards of north Georgia. It is
particularly bad this season, and in some
L .i-aliti s threaten the partial destruction
of the present fruit crop.
The symptoms of the disease are very
characteristic and any ordinary observer
can readily detect it. The disease most
commonly develops in the leaves, but it
also attacks the tissues of the twigs. The
mverbal growth of the fungus in the
loaf increases the size aud number of
the cells, causing the formation of a se
ries of irregular transverse folds. The
leaf is also greatly enlarged, both trails-
vi rsely and longitudinally; and one side
is usually strongly convexed, so much
so that frequently the bulging along the
midrib pushes the margins of the leaf
toward each other on the other side, giv
ing it an inflated appearance. The tis
sues of the distorted parts thicken aud
the leaf looses its green color, changing
to pale, with yellowish tints.
The disease appears in early spring as
soon as the leaves are out and develops
very rapidly. The function of the leaves
(the breathing apparatus of the tree) is
entirely destroyed by this fungus, heuce
the vigor of the tree aud the develop
meat-of the fruit are materially im
paired, frequently causing the fruit to
shed and decreasing the longevity of the
tree.
All affected leaves are shed in the
early part of the summer, and if the
trees are well cultivated and fertilized a
new set of healthy leaves will come out,
and nothing more will be seen of the
disease until the following spring.
The mycelium or vegetative part of
this fungus is perennial and passes the
late summer, autumn and winter in the
tissin s of the leaf and buds, growing
out with the developing leaf in the fol-
iug spring.
REMEDY.
Until recently very little was known
concerning the treatment of the leaf-
curl On .Tan. 16 of this year, the writer
began a series of experiments in the or
chard of Judge George F. Gober at Ma
rietta, Ga., looking to the control of this
disease, both as to the substance to be
used and the time of applying, it. The
results of these experiments are all that
could be desired. While the work is not
yet completed sufficient results have
been obtained to show that the disease
can be easily and cheaply controlled.
The plan of the experiment is given in
brief below, hut full details and ex
planation cannot he gone into in this ar-
ticT. Several thousand trees were in
cluded in the experiment and each row
represents from 50 to 300 trees. The or
chard is seven years old aud in good
condition, except that the trees had been
badly affected with leaf-curl for the-past
two years.
PLAN OF EXPERIMENT.
Row 1—On Jan. 16 sprayed with blue-
stone ar the rate of 2 pounds dissolved
m 50 gallons of water. Nothing more
"’as done to this row.
Result—Examined on April 19—trees

Row 2—On .Jau. 16 sprayed with blue
st’'ne as in row 1, and a second applica-
tii'ii of the same substance was made on
March 12, that is, just before the tree
came into blossom.

application to be made later.
Row 10—On January 16 sprayed with
caustic potash—8 pounds to 40 gallons
of water.

leaves affected with leaf-curl. Unsatis
factory results, but no damage to the
trees.
Row 11—On January 16 painted with
crude petroleum.
Result—Unsatisfactory, 50 per cent of
leaves affected with leaf-curl.
Row 12—On March 12, just before
trees came into bloom sprayed with
strong Bordeaux (6 pounds bluestone
6 pounds lime to 50 gallons water.) only
one application was made.
Result—Examined on April 19, when
leaves were nearly out in full and a good
crop of fruit on the trees. The result is
almost perfect prevention of leaf-curl.
Only an occasional leaf can be found
diseased.
Other experiments were made but it
is not necessary for the object of this
paper to give them here.
CONCLUSION.
The result of experiments Nos. 7, 8,
9 aud 12 are practically the same, but it
is noted that iu case of No. 12 only one
application is made and that this applica
tion is sufficient to prevent the leaf-curl.
Two points are determined: 1. That Bor
deaux made by the formula of 6 pounds
of bluestone and 6 pounds of fresh lime
to 50 gallons water is the substance to
use. 2. That in the spring of the year,
just before the birds burst into bloom, is
the time to make the application. In
the face of these results there is uo ex
cuse for a peach grower to allow his
trees to become seriously infected with
leaf-curl.
Other experiments are being conduct
ed to determine whether the leaf-curl
cau be checked after the leaves come out
and the disease sets in. It is probable
that weak Bordeaux (3—6—50) will
check it to some extent, even after it
appears.
In case the trees are badly affected
aud no treatment has been applied, I
would recommend that, when the dis
eased leaves begin to drop, the orchard
should be highly fertilized with nitrogen
ous manures (which should not be ex
tensively used on bearing trees under
ordinary conditions), and thoroughly
cultivated, in order to push out a new
set of leaves to take the place of the dis
eased ones and mature the crop of fruit.
For this purpose nitrate of soda is the
best fertilizer to use. It acts very quickly
and will soon produce a new crop of
leaves, which will be sufficient to mature
the crop of fruit. It should be scattered
around the tree from the truuk out as far
as the branches reach. It should then
be cultivated in. The orchard should be
cultivated every week or ten days until
the crop is matured. In thi3 manner
the entire fruit crop can be saved aud
the trees will not suffer material injury
from the effects of the disease.—State

hogsYor the south.
A. Good Pis Witli Care, an Improved
“Hustler” For Woodlands, Etc.
Experience has long ago demonstrat
ed that no white hog can be a success
in the south. Tlie black razorbacli of
the piny woods is the survival of the
fittest, for the white bogs soon suc
cumb here to the effect of mange and
sun scald, says Professor Massey of
North Carolina. There Are a number
of tin? black breeds that have been
tried in the south with varying suc
cess. The Essex is preferred by some,
who take especial pains with their
hogs and do not expect them to hustle
for themselves in the woods. But many
consider them too small in size and too
delicate in constitution. The Polaud-
China lias become the popular bog over
a large part of the country, particular
ly in the west. Tlie chief objections
urged against them are that they are
not as prolific as other breeds and
that they make a larger quantity of
woolly hair that makes hem harder
to clean.
In my own experience ' have fouud
the Berkshire to more nearly fill the
bill than any other breed. Where
(jogs are allowed a woodland lange the
Berkshire is as good a hustler as the
native razorback, and this is true of
them to a greater extent than any of
tlie improved breeds. Then, too, as
the hams are tlie most valuable part of
a bog’s carcass, there is no breed that
makes as round and well shaped hams
as the Berkshire. In the hands of one
intelligent farmer of South Carolina I
found several years ago a stock of pigs
raised from crossing a Berkshire on
the sows of tlie Essex breed. These
seemed to me to be the ideal pig for
the south, having all tlie delicacy of
bone and small offal of the Essex, with
the hardy and prolific character of the
Berkshire. . , ,.
But whatever breed is kept it should
be one that will fatten at any age, for
there is no profit in a bog that lias to

be wintered over before
hogs should be kept over winter except
the breeding stock, except in the case
of fall litters to be fattened and killed
in the early spring. When an u«P ro% ''
ed breed is kept pure, there will al
ways be demand enough for breeders
t<rtake up tlie fall litters in the spring.
The best time in the south to have
the pigs come is in March. Then \ ege-

Crimson clover has come into promi
nence in this country within compara
tively recent years. It cau hardly be
regarded as a successful crop outside
of the region from New Jersey west to
the Alleghany mountains and south to
eastern Tennessee and Texas. Good
crops are often obtained in other sec
tions, but cannot be depended upon
year after year. In the middle and
south Atlantic states this clover is one
of the best crops that can be grown for
forage and soil renovation. It has giv
en good results in many portions of the
gulf states, but many failures are also
reported. In the colder sections of tlie
country this clover is sometimes suc
cessfully grown as a summer crop, but
it usually winter kills badly when
sown in the autumn. At tlie experi
ment stations in Rhode Island, New
York, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, South
Dakota, Nebraska and other states In
the north and west the general results
of tests show that it is too tender for
the climate and is less valuable than
red clover. From results recently ob
tained at the Alabama experiment sta
tion it seems very likely that in many
eases, especially in the south, failures
with tlie crop are to be attributed to
the absence from tlie soil of the tuber
cle forming organisms which are neces
sary for the proper appropriation of
nitrogen by tlie plant. These organ
isms being supplied to the soil, excel
lent crops were obtained where with
out them the result was a failure.
These facts are a contribution by Ag-
rostologist S. W. Williams in circular
No. 17 to the investigation of grass
and forage plants which the depart
ment of agriculture is pm-suing.

Canker, Dead Spot, Illacli Spot, Ete.
Apple tree authracnose is the name
which Professor Cordley of Oregon has
selected as appropriate for a trouble
that is locally known as “canker,”
“dead spot” or “black spot” in the ap
ple orchards of tlie Pacific northwest,
where it lias been quite serious the
past year. It was at first thought that
it was identical with the apple canker
of eastern orchards, but Mr. Cordley
APPLE TREE ANTHRACNOSE.
believes that they are entirely distinct
and llie antliracnose a new disease.
Apple tree antliracnose is caused by a
fungus which attacks the bark, usually
on the smaller branches, appearing
first after autumn rains. It roughens,
disfigures aud weakens the branches.
It generally occurs as a spot from
which tlie bark sloughs off, but occa
sionally girdles a branch and thus kills
a portion of it.
Thorough spraying with bordeaux
mixture or with the ammoniaeal solu
tion of copper carbonate, once soon aft
er the fall rains begin and again as
soon after the leaves fall as possible, is
recommended as remedial, and this
may be supplemented in orchards but
little diseased by cutting out antlirac-
aosed spots and painting the cuts with
strong bordeaux.
What the Alabama Station Thinks
of It For Winter Pasturage, Etc.
Hairy vetc-b (Yicia villosa), sown in
September or October, alone or with
oats, affords nutritious pasturage dur
ing the following February, March,
April aud May. If not grazed too late,
it affords a cutting of hay from April
20 to May 10. Hairy vetch is disposed
of as pasturage, hay or green manure
iu time for quick growing summer
crops, such as cowpeas, sorghum, late
corn, etc. It grows ouly from seed, but
can be so managed as to reseed the
ground continuously.
At the station hairy vetch was cut
for hay at four different stages. The
yield of hay increased up to the time of
full bloom, when the maximum yield
of 5,7S9 pounds of hay per acre was
obtained. Chemical analysis showed
that, at whatever stage this plant was
cut, the hay was nutritious. Consider
ing both quality aud quantity of hay,
it was concluded that the best time to
cut vetch, growing alone, was three or
four days before the period of full
bloom.
Hairy vetch rapidly enriches the soil
in nitrogen if the plant is plowed in for
green manure. It is able to draw this
nitrogen from the air and add it to the
soil only when the roots of the vetch
plant are supplied with enlargements
of definite character, known as root
nodules or tubercles.
When sown in the usual way on most
poor soils in Alabama, the vetch plant
does not have these “bumps” or no
dules on the roots. If devoid of tuber
cles, hairy vetch does, not enrich the
soil and fails completely if the land is
poor.
Such soils can be made to produce
vetch plants containing tubercles by
sowing, along witli the vetch seed,
some of the earth from a place where
the English pea or the wild vetch has
been grown for several years.
The process of employing suitable
soil or other material containing defi
nite kinds of tubercle producing germs
is called inoculation.
In order to have available for use
in future years a sufficient supply of
valuable inoculation material, it is im
portant that prospective vetch grow
ers should sow at least a small area of
vetch this fall. The soil from this
plot may be used for inoculating lar
ger areas in subsequent years.
Hairy vetch can be advantageously
introduced as a “catch crop” into the
ordinary rotation of the cotton farm
without reducing the area of cotton,
corn or small grain.
Wheat In the South.
That wheat can and should be grown
by every farmer in the south, especial
ly enough to furnish flour for his own
family, is nothing but simply going
back to conditions that existed before
tlie war between the states. At that
time almost every family had wheat
of its own raising. Conditions that ex
isted after the war, when cotton was
selling at a good price, have changed,
and now the time has come when
farmers must raise their own supplies
again and not depend on cotton to buy
everything that is consumed on the
farm.
The time to sow in Georgia, in my
opinion and from my experience with
other grains, is from tlie 15th of Octo
ber to the 1st or not later than the 10th
of November. Owing to our spring
and summer droughts we must grow
more of the winter crops if we expect
our faTins to become self sustaining
and to become a prosperous couutry,
says a writer in Home aud Farm.
Onions In Louisiana.
In south Louisiana onion seed Is
sown in September and October, trans
planted to rows 12 to 18 inches apart

end of sprii.g or early in summer the
crop may b? gathered, stored or sold.
EDUGATSON k FEATURE
It Will Be Given Prominence
at the Inter-State Fair.
one ana scnooi commissioners, superin
tendents and teachers should apply im
mediately to the secretary of the fair
for a copy of the rules and regulations
in order that they may be carefully
studied before the present school term
expires. It is not saying too much to
state that the educational department of
last year's fair was one of the most, if
not the most, interesting department of
the fair.
Possibly the most interesting features
of the plan presented for the coming
fair are the premiums offered for decla
mation and composition, the former to
be contested for by the boys and the lat
ter by girls. Under the arrangement
students are placed on au equal footing.
That is, boys studying in the grammar
grades of a county system compete
against boys studying m the same
grades. Boys studying in the higher
branches of either county or city sys
tems must compete with students of
like character. The same rule applies
to the girls who compete for the compo
sition; all will compete on a fair and
equitable basis. But to thorougly un
derstand the conditions governing the
various contests the published rules
should he carefully read, and interested
parties should apply at once to Secretary
T. H. Martin, 218 Prudential Building,
Atlanta, for a copy of the official pre
mium list.
Here are some of the prizes offered for
oratorical and composition contests:
Best declamation by boy, studying only
iu grammar grades, from any county
school system, §25.00; best declamation
by boy, studying higher branches, city or
county, §25.00; best declamation by
boy, from any city or local system, open
to grammar grades only, §25.00.
Best composition by girl studying only
in grammar grades, from any county
school system, papers limited to 200
words and written -within one hour’s
time, §25.00; best composition by girl,
studying higher branches, papers lim
ited to 300 words and written within
one hour’s time, open to city and county,
§25.09; best composition by girl, from
any local or city school system, papers
limited to 300 words and written within
one hour’s time, §25.00.
To the boys who have a mechanical
turn the fair management offers some
especially handsome premiums as fol
lows:
Best exhibit of woodwork, made by
boy between the ages of 16 and 20 years,
§50.00; best exhibit of forged work, made
by boy between the ages of 16 and 20
years, §50.00.
These premiums and the character of
the contest should interest every boy
and girl in the state, and judging by
the success of the plan last year, it is
safe to say that there will be a number
of spirited contests at the fair this fall.

Brief Mention.
Hogs and corn are becoming
crops in Louisiana.
Tennessee experts are reported as
estimating the total peanut yield in
sight this season at nearly 4,500,000
bushels of 22 pounds each. The bulk of
the crop is produced in Tennessee, Vir
ginia and North Carolina.
There are uo fertilizers that will give
better results on cotton than well pre
served and thoroughly rotted farm
yard manures, applied very early in
the season of preparation, says R. J.
Redding of Georgia, but it will add
very much to the effectiveness of such
manures to mix with them a liberal
dose of acid phosphate, say 100 to 200
pounds to each ton.
Top dress oats in March or April,
using 75 or 100 pounds of nitrate of
soda per acre or 150 pounds cottonseed
meal, advises the Georgia Cultivator.
The conversion of bagasse or the ref
use of sugar cane into paper is in pros
pect in Louisiana, where a mill is to be
erected. This means the utilization of
an immense amount of waste product.

The Educational Department of the
Southern Inter-State Fair, to be held at
Atlanta this fall, will be one of tho most
interesting features of the fair.
It Las always been difficult to arrange
a basis of competition for school exhibits
that would be practicable, and at the
same time prove interesting to visitors
and the public at large. But this diffi
culty was happily adjusted by the ar
rangement under which the Educational
Department was operated at the State
Fair held in Atlanta last year. This
plan, with a few modifications suggested
by experience, will be adopted by the
Fair Management this year, aud it goes
without saying that the success of last
year will cause a doubled interest in the
work now under way for the fair this
fall.
Under the plan adopted colleges,
schools and school systems, both county
and city, may make practical and inter
esting exhibits and compete on an equit
able basis. The plan is an interestinti

Augusta Real-Estate
Is the safest investment you
can make. Those who have
uoted the rapid strides ot devel
opment made in Augusta in the
past 5 years, and are familiar
with the vast number of new
buildings, manufactories, indus
tries, etc., that are now in course
of construction are buying real
estate in Augusta, because of the
certainty of great enhancement.
At the present time we can
sell lots in the growing section
of the city for $250 to $500 on
the installment plan ot $10 per
month.
This is better than Building
and Loan Association Stock
which has proved so disastrous
to thousands of stockholders and
as safe as a government bank.
