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 in fruit and nearly full leaf; 40 per cent of the leaves affected with leaf cvjfi. Re sult unsatisfactory. 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. Result—Examined April 19—in fruit aud nearly full leaf; 12;Apor ceut of the ku\es affected with leaf curl. Better t ‘ ldU ^°- L but still unsatisfactory. R .w 3—The same as No. 2 and the MU1< ' result up to April 19. The experi- 1111 m is continued by the application of "eak Bordeaux (3 pounds bluestone, 6 P< Minis fresh lime and 50 gallons water) 'I 1 April 24, when the trees were in lruit 1111,1 nearly full leaf. Final results lauuot be determined yet. It. i\v 4—The same as No. 3, with an ad- ■ > 'inti application of weak Bordeaux to be made later. Gw 5—Check. This row was left uu- ri atrj, with which to compare results of Seated trees. * Result—Examined on April 19, in fruit. ‘•- 1 ' nearly full leaf. Eighty per cent of leaves are affected with leaf-curl. e llc es look sickly aud the leaves have a bale, yellowish appearance. R >w 6—On Jan. 16 sprayed with 1 Bordeaux (6 pounds bluestone, 6 Pounds lime to 50 gallons of water.) ’"Aug more was done to this row. Result—Examined April 19, trees iu Ullt aucl nearly full leaf. Seventeen Percent of leaves affected. Result not atl ’'factory, but the disease was checked considerably. s / v °" ‘—On Jan. 16 sprayed with j 1 ng Bordeaux (6—6—50) and repeated “ e a PpRcation of the same mixture on arcb 12, just before the trees came into Result, examined April 19, trees frriu, and nearby full leaf. Almost per feet, less than 1 per ceut of leaves af fected with leaf-curl. Row 8—Same as No. 7 and result the same up to April 19; with a third appli cation of weak Bordeaux, (3—6—50) on April 21. Row 9—Same as No. 8, with a fourth application to be made later. Row 10—On January 16 sprayed with caustic potash—8 pounds to 40 gallons of water. Result—April 19, 50 per cent of the 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 Agricultural Department. 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 1...

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.

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. HAIRY VETCH. io rurn tnem on it ’one'Keeps a 'perma nent pasture. The cows are then giv- ; a full flow of milk, aud skimniilk can be bad for the pigs. If kept grow- ; during tlie summer on green food of any kind aud turned ou a pea field as soon as it is ready for them, the pigs can be kept growing and can be sold off to the butchers alive at G months old or can be kept till December and slaughtered for bacon after proper feeding of corn in the fall. 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 aud well cultivated. The onions are ready for the market in April. Iu north Louisiana the seed may he sown in January or February in drills, thin ned to a staud and cultivated. By the 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.

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.

AN INTERESTING EXHIBIT Arrangements Have Been Perfected For Contests In Oratory and Com position Between Boys and Girls. Prizes Offered by the Educational Department. 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.
