udge Malcolm C. Tarver.
The election of Malcolm C. Tarver
n the primary Tuesday as judge of the
uperior courts puts upon the brilliant
.Vhitfield lawyer most grave and sac
ed responsibilities and invests him
Aith solemn and extensive powers.
His friends and supporters are sure
hat he will measure up to the require
nents and that law and justice will be
idminis'tered as it is written and de
:la red.
It was a fine expression of confl
lence in Mr. Tarver’s ability, an en
dorsement of his conceptions and ideal
of what a judge should be, and an
agreement u(>on the part of the*voters
of the district to give this young man
a chance and an opi>ortunity to adimin
ister the law as he knows it should be
administered.
The Tribune rejoices with the ma
jority of the people of the circuit over
the result. We favored .Mr. Tarver.
The columns of thes paper carried dis
cussions in his favor. We urged only
that which we thought went to the
merits of the issue between him and
his opponent. Having done so, we
have no regrets 1 , no analogies and no
explanations to make. It is gratifying
tc know that the majority of the peo
ple viewed the matter in the same
light that we did.
Mr. Tarver has lieen given by the
people a fine opportunity to exalt, jus
tice, fairness, and to keep out of the
court house things not proper for judi
cial discussion, and to keep himself
out of many things that have a ten
dency to limit the usefulness of a
Judge.
We congratulate Mr. Tarver upon
his election. He has conducted a cam
paign upon a high plane. He has not
hit below the belt. No bitterness fol
low's him, but, on the other hand, the
best wishes, the good will, the adimira
tion and the congratulataions of the
people of the district are sent forth to
him by word, by letter and in unex
pressed friendly interest.
CLEANING UP FARM
KILLS CROP PESTS
J. Phil Campbell, Director' Of Exten.
sion, Georgia State College
Of Agriculture
According to entomologists, the prao
tice of cleaning up the farm in the
fall and winter means the destruction
of crop pests that go into winter quar
ters in edges of fields, on hanks of
streams, sides of roads, terraces and
all places where vegetation is left un
disturbed.
The entomologists say that certain
plants left on the terraces or around
the edges of the field is to encourage
the existence of the red spider. Also
that some other weeds foster the
bud worm beetle and other insects
that do damage to useful crops later
on. These same authorities have found
that the corn stalk borer which caus-
es “windfalls” of corn, makes his win- j
ter habitation among the roots and j
Btubble of the corn plant. Likewise, 1
the corn ear worm stays from two to
two and a half inches below the sur
face in the corn and cotton fields
where the soil is not disturbed.
The boll weevil, of course, winters
over in weeds and rubbish on the
farm to some extent, and it is of
greatest importance in holding this
greatest enemy of cotton in check, to
clean up all of its hiding places on
the farm.
No better time is to be fpund for
fighting insect enemies of the farm
than in the winter, when, by killing a
few, thousands of their offspring will
be prevented from coming into exist
ence later on.
Fall plowing and winter cover crops
get rid of most yf the insect pests of
the field. This, with the cleaning up
of the terraces, fence corners, banks
of streams, etc., constitute preventive
measures that mean in saving
of crops later on. M
In view of the fact that southern
soils require a great deal of vegetable
matter, one of the methods of helping
to meet this requirement, while* at
the same time combatting the weevil,
is to pick cotton early, cut down the
stalks and turn them under before the
first frost. This stops the food sup
ply of the weevil and stops the propa
gation of some of them.

Tanlac he bad gained 20 (rounds.
When he brought thiLs testimonsial to

THE BARTOW TRIB UNE, SEPTEMBER 14, 1916
Plant a Patch Of
Alfalfa This Fall
Should Be Preceded By Cowpeas And
Lime
ANDREW M. SOULE, President Geor
gia State College Of Agriculture
One desiring to sow alfalfa in fall
should undertake to prepare the land
as soon as possible. We prefer the
cowpeas as an improvement crop to
use on land intended for alfalfa be
cause it will mature in sufficient time
to be turned under to good advantage.
This should be done when the peas
are in good condition to make into
hay. It would be good practice to
put at least two tons of crushed raw
rock on the land before sowing the
legumes. If this has not been done
it is suggested that as soon as the
cowpeas are turned under that at least
two tons of lime be applied and har
rowed well into the soil. The land
should be worked as a fallow from the
time the peas are turned under until
September 15 or October 1. If there
is a good season in the soil at that
time, sow the alfalfa, using about
twenty pounds of recleaned western
grown seed per acre, and inoculate it
very carefully. Sow on a cloudy day,
as strong sunlight will often kill the
bacteria of the Inoculating material.
We would fertilize the land with two
sacks of cotton seed meal aad 400 to
600 pounds of acid phosphate. These
ingredients should be mixed together
and put on the soil before the seed
ing is done. Harrow the fertilizer into
the soil. Some tash could be used
with excellent acmtntage under alfal
fa, but it is now impossible to secure
it by reason of the European war.
Therefore, one must take the best
of the existing situation and use such
fertilizing material as is available. The
alfalfa should nQt be grazed or cut
during the fall.
Peach Tree Borer —
Fall Time To Fight it
J. W. FIROR, Field Agt. Horticulture,
Georgia State College Of Agri,
The peach tree borer lives most
of its life as a w’orm embedded beneath
the bark of the tree, usually just be
low the surface of the soil. Here it
starts as a very small worm, eating
away the life of the tree, getting larg
er and larger until it undergoes a
change into a pupa and then a moth,
which lays eggs for more w r orms to
carry on their destructive work on
the peach trees. The moths lay the
eggs on the trunk and branches of
the trees during the summer, —most
of the eggs being laid during July,
August and September. The eggs
hatch in from 10 to 15 days and en
ter the tree. By frost all the eggs
have hatched that will hatch. At
frost time the worms aje small, and
all that will enter until another sum
mer, have bored into the trees. This
is the best time to fight them.
Draw the soil away from the trunk
of the tree to a depth of four inches
or until the roots are exposed. Search
for the entering holes. With a sharp
knife follow these holes until the
worms are found, and then kill them.
The borer holes can be found by ob
serving the presence of a thick sap—
gummylike in appearance. This sap
has come from the tree because of the
borer’s injury. There may be a num
ber of borers in a single tree. The
worker should get them all before
leaving the tree. A small white worm
is often found in the sap. This is not
I the peach tree borer and it does no
damage to the tree, but lives on the
! sap.
Peach tree borers do a great deal
of damage and many people have lost,
heart in the growing of fruits because
!of them. The question may be asked,
“Why let such a little thing as a
peach tree borer get the best of one?”
Don’t Pull Fodder
PAUL TABOR, Field Agent Agronomy,
Georgia State College Of Agr.
Pulling fodder is like pulling grass
for hay. A good feed is secured but
at a tremendous cost of labor. Also
the yield of grain is decreased by the
removal of the leaves before they have
finished their/task of filling the ears.
The increased yield of grain where
the leaves are allowed to mature is
usually more than enough to pay for
the fodder. Hundreds of Georgia
farmers have learned this and are
now substituting cowpea hay for the
costly fodder and many more will do
so if they will give it a fair trial
this year. Comparisons can b 6 made
by stripping some row r s of their leaves
and leaving others alone, and at har
vest time noting the condition of the
grains on the ears. Seed planted from
fodder stripped plants show up poorly
so that the loss is not confined to
one season.
Get Machinery Under Cover
L. C. HART, Professor of Agr. Engi
neering, Ga. State Col. Of Agr.
Do not leave farm machinery out
in the field where it has been used,
but take it at once into the barn
or machine shed. Clean up the im
plement, oil the bright surfaces, clean
out the oil holes and then plug them
with wood or cotton waste to keep
out the dust. It pays tc take good
care of farm machinery. Farm ma
chinery pays best when treated best.
