TOBACCO HINTS
(By E. C. Westbrook)
It is gratifying to observe that
most of our tobacco farmers have
good stands of tobacco and that they
are giving it rapid cultivation. To
bacco is a quick growing crop. If
cultivated every week or ten days it
is able to utilize the fertilizer and
moisture to the best advantage. If
allowed to stand too long without
cultivation, the growth will be check
ed.
.After the first two cultivations,
the cultivation should be shallow.
Cutlivation that keeps the tobacco
on a ridge gives better results than
level cultivation. ,
Short singletrees should be used
to prevent tearing and breaking the
leaves. Every precaution should be
taken to avoid injury to the plant.
Any bruising of the leaves will in
jure both yield and quality of the
tobacco. It should be handled as
carefully as a perishable truck crop.
Cutivation should be* discontinued
after topping, as the tobacco will
ripen better if not cultivated too
late.
Worms are causing some damage
to tobacco in some sections. They
can be controlled by dusting with cal
cium arsenate of the same standard
that is used for the boll weevil. For
the bud worm, mixture of 1 pound
of calcium arsenate to 75 pounds of
corn meal is very effective. This
can be dusted in the bud with a sif
ter made by punching holes in the
bottom of a tomato can. While the
above strength will kill the bud worm
is giving trouble also, the mixture
should be made stronger. About 1
lb. of calcium arsenate to 25 lbs. of
corn meal will give good results.
For the horn worm alone, the cal
cium arsenate may be dusted on the
same as for the boll weevil on cot
ton. Care should be taken not to
apply the poison too heavily, as there
is danger of burning the tobacco.
There is no danger of burning the
tobacco if only a application is
used.
We are glad that most of the Geor
gia farmers realize that success with
tobacco is determined by the quality
of the crop grown. It is very en
couraging to see that such a large
percent is doing all that can be done
to produce first nualitv tobacco. This
wil 1 . determine Georgia’s tobacco fu
ture. It is quality and not quantity
that counts most.

Are You Ready to Poison Cotton
Farmers intending to use the two
early applications of syrup mixture
should remember the following:
1— Formulae 1 gallon water, 1
gallon syrup, 1 pound calcium arse
nate.
2 Put on Ist just when forms
first appear in the fields. Repeat
8 to 10 days.
| 3—Keep thoroughly stirred. The
! calcium arsenate does not disolve
and if it settle to the bottom you
j will apply only sweetened molasses.
4 Mix each days supply fresh.
! Old mixtures will burn cotton.
5 Use cheap home made mops,
as they are as good as any.
Pick Up Squares
There are 20 days from first
squares to first blooms. If you mop
your cotton thoroughly and then pick
up squares until first blooms, your
fields should be clean of weevils.
Dust when weevil appears again.
Watch for the weevil after blooms.
These will be your neighbor’s wee
vils which he has been growing foj
yov» cotton by not believing in
poisoning. y\s soon as they come,
dust three times at four day inter
vals. Then watch him and put on
two or three more applications later
about the first week in August to
protect your young bolls.
DeLoach or Government Method
The DeLoach method given last
week is the same as the government
method except he applies three ap
pl cp.tions of dust at four day inter
vals between each starting when
squares appear.
The government method waits un
til 10 per cent of the squares are
punctured then dusts the same way.
I he advantage > f the government '
method is that you do not waste any
dust on cotton not infested with
weevils.
Rush Your Cotton
Rapid cutlivation and good fertil
ization i ? important in fighting the j
weevils. Keep your cotton clean
and growing. ,

Lice and Mites
It may seem to you that external
parasites are of no economical im
portance. but when you have really
given treatment to a flock and have
seen egg production pick up and the
general health of the flock improved,
then you Will be convinced that these
little insects extract their toll in the
form of eggs, vitality, vigor, and
genera! healthfulness.
I have often observed flocks that
seem to be sted. The owner
would declare that his birds had not
been any where to bring them in, but
when the birds were examined many
lice were found. It will pay to exa
mine your birds for lice, and exa
mine the roosting place for miite s for
these are present on practically ev
ery farm, and too, these two little
' insects are the ones that do the most
| damage.
Lice may be eradicated in several
ways. Ist, by the use of sodium
fluoride ( both as a dust and as a
dip), or some home made insect
powder. 2nd, by the use of equal |
parts by weight of mercurial oxide
(blue ointment) and vaseline. 3rd.
bv the use of -'nrae commercial in
sect powder.
A good louse powder can be made
by taking one-fourth pint crude car
bolic acid; three-fourths quart gaso
line; and 2 1-2 pounds Plaster of
Paris. Add the liquid to Plaster of
! Paris slowly and stir the mixture
j thoroughly until all the liquid has
been added and is taken up by ithe
j Plaster of Paris. If you do not care
to mix the powder yourself, sodium
fluoride can be secured from durg
storqs in very covenient size cans.
This can be applied as a dip or as a
powder. The pinch method may be
employed; this consists of taking a
pinch between the thumb and index
finger and putting it in the follow
ing places: head, neck, back, breast,
fluff, and under each wing. Hold
the birds head down and with a per
forated to pan, dust the powder in
| the feathers. Dipping is advocated
j to some extent, providing it is done
on warm days. Five ounces of sod
um fluoride added to five gallons of
- r ter will be sufficient to dip one
hundred birds. One pound is suffi
<■ 'nt for 3()0 birds. In dipping be
<™'”'pful to hold the head of the bird
r vt of the dip.
I
i Greasing is considered by some
"■ '’’‘rymen to be the easiest and
economical method. After
m ' ”’e the equal parts mercurical
oxid" (blue oinment) an d vaseline,
app'- a small piece about the size of
: a pea just below the vent. This
! treatment is sufficient to kill the
| lice and the little lice that hatch from
I the eggs that are fastened to the
j base of the feathers at the time of
: treating.
The mito is a sucking insect and
!it feeds during the night. During
the day it stays hidden in the crocks
and crevices of the house and under
, the roosts. They inhabit the entire
house, but are found in the largest
numbers nearest the roosting place
of the fowls.
Heavy infestation of these insects
| cause much loss to poultrymen. A
; flock that has to worry all night with
| these insects cannot be in_good vig
i orous condition next day. Many
nights of worry and loss of blood will
soon put a flack in serius condition.
The first step in the control of
this pest is to e’ean the houses thor
ouglv, burn all nesting material, all
litter and all rubbish of any kind in
the house. Take out all movable
parts. Then spray the house and
parts wiith kerosene, crude oil, or any
i strong disinfestant. A coat of white
j wash is very effective, especially
when one pint of crude carbolic acid
is added to each gallon of whitewash.
, Soray or paint the whole house with
I this Solution. Carbosota is used to
; a great extent. This can be secured
at most hardware stores. It is a
wood preservative as well as a mite
eradicator.
Lice all day and mites and lice all
night will surely cut your profits.
Better use precautions and beat
I these insects to your profits.
