THIRD APPLICATION.
IF EVERY GEORGIAN could be taken on a Ions trip through other
sections of their country, with tii.ic to study and observe, it would
be the greatest boon to Hear old Georgia that could possibly come
to her. No longer would there be any need for “Advertise Georgia" (
campaigns and the like, for Georgia would then be “sold" to her
own people who, having seen their own great natural advantages |
and realizing how little they arc doing with thrm, would set toi
work with an energy and a vision that would astound the world. j
Georgia is a great state, a wonderful state. But few Geor- i
gians really know it or realize it. Those who know it best and |
realize it deepest are those who leave its borders and go elsewhere
These are the Gorgians who can judge most accuratly of the great
ness—and the shortcomings—of their state.
jhis IS BY WAY of introducing a letter written by a native ot
Americus, Brooks Williams, son of Mr. and Mrs. G. Lester Wil
liams, of Americus, whose calling has taken him into the west. Mr.
■ Williams is a young man, a graduate in engineering of Georgia Tech.
He has been living for some time irt Pueblo, Colo. In this letter,
written to his father, he unbosoms himself of some observations
about his loved native state which all of us may read with good and
.< wholesome effect, if we will take them in a spirit of open-minded
ness. They are not particularly pleasant thoughts to us, but that
they are founded upon facts will be vouched for by every Georgian
who has had opportunity for travel and observation beyond the
borders of the South.
B E
ECAUSE IT BELIEVES every Georgian should read this letter, in
order that steps may be taken to correct the handicap unde.-
which this native state lies, and not in any sense to advertise our
shortcomings broadcast, The Times-Recorder here reproduces Mr.
Williams' letter in full, except for a few purely personal passages:
I don’t believe he was very favorably improved with the peo
ple up around Butler. They seem to be rather backwards, in other words.
Well, I’m afraid that's the condition which is more or less gcnrnl through-
‘ but in the state in the rural districts. I’ve noticed it particularly and it is the
firrt thing outsiders notice. We will have to admit that Georgia, one of
the "original thirteen,’’ is lagging -behind in the matter of general rural
education and up-to-date farm|ng. With methods of farming such as are
practiced in California and other states, Georgia would easily be in the
very-front of states, and It 1s a hard dcco for a Southerner to have to always
face and admit the point that the South is backward. It’s one argument
'(hat is always brought up, even in casual discussions of the South. Even
the motion pictures of news items in the South arc at best negative ad
vertisements. I sure do hate to think it, but Jt’a so. The very best thing
that could be done for the South would be an extensive propaganda cam-
S ign to get the country boys to tee the value of education. All tho
ckwardness would then begin to disappear. For I know that the South
ern boy is as intelligent as any other and once lie can be shown that he is
backward he will cure the fault him-.elf. It is nrobu'jle that Georgia’s
.'agricultural colleges are at present adequate to the demand. But the
• trouble is that the demand upon them is pitiful, when the real ncccrsity
is known.
f WOULD CERTAINLY greet with delight some movement that would
tend to remedy the situation. You take any case that can be found
where real sure enough farming is done,.and done according to scientific
• methods, and there is acasc where the money is being coined. I mean on
a farm in Georgia. And that's the kind of farmer that isn’t going to the
bank year after year,too, for money to finance the next year’s crop. Do
you know that even in ARID Colorado, where nature has certainly frown-
;^.«d upon any kind of vegetation, and ONE crop per year is ALL that can
bs expected, the scientific fanners are making money? But on the other
■ T liaifd, our own backwnrd South', where a single crop on a piece of land
SHOULD be evidence of unpardonable laziness, and two or more SHOULD
be the universal practice, that the farmer is always a year in debt. It’s
} ' 'cartainly a rad condition to admit, but one/that affords unlimited possi
bilities for somebody.
I hope this discussion has not been tiresome to you, but the fact is-
that I seldom enter a conversation with educated people where the topic
does not turp to the South. And invariably I meet the same question:
“Why is the South kd backward?”

FORT VALLEY, March 7.—The
first peach curcul'o of the season wa3
found on a peach tree in the vicinity
of Fort Valley on the morning of
March 4 by agents of the government
laboratory located at Fort Valley
ihis individual was collected whili
jarring trees tor curculios which is a
part ofan experiment that will be
continued until next fail to ascertain
the movement of the beetles.
It Is necessary to start this jarring
before day break in order that the
bettlcs might be collected before they
become active. The first apearance
of this insect should be u warning
to preach growers to make prepara
tions for the first curculio spra>
which should he applied as th»
shuck or calyces *lart to split.
On account of the abnormal cut
culio conditions which now exist in
the Georgia peach belt a revision
the former spraying and dusting
schedules became necessary. The
Fort Valley station of the U. S. Ilu-
Lntomology has mailed out
v schedules, and peach grow
uregd to follow the rccom
mendations closely this season, mak
ing the applications at just the time
suggested. These recommendation*
arc the best that can be made undci
present curculio and brown rot con
ditions and with the experiments!
data available. The spraying sched
ule is given first as follows:
FIRST APPLICATION.
As soon as calyces or “shucks"
start to split, making sure to com
plete the spraying by the time the
calyces have shed use:
One pound powdered arsenate of
lead, plus lime water from three
pounds of stone lime, to 50 gallons of
water.
(In case of a large acreage the
spraying should be planned so as to
make sure that the first application
of arsenate of lead is completed by
the time the peaches have- forced
themselves through the shucks. It
the acreage is small, this first ap
plication may be 'delayed somewhat,
until the shucks start to shed, pro
vided the spraying can be completed
by the time the shucks have shed.) *
SECOND APPLICATION
Two to three weeks after first ap-
plication use:
One pound powdered arsenate ot
lead in self-boiled lime-sulphur, 8-
8-50.
THIRD APPLICATION.
(Sec Note.)
One month before ripening use:
One pound powdered arsenate of
(See Note.)
One month before ripening, use.
Arsenate of lead 5'per cent; su!
phur 80 per cent; lime* 15 per cent,
FOURTH APPLICATION.
(Optional, See Note.)
Ten days to two weeks before har
vest. (if foliage and fruit show
important injury,) use:
Arsenate of lead 5 per cent; sul
phur 80 per cent; lime 15 per cent
Thoroughness is the key note
success with dust as it is with liquid
sprays. The improtancc of dusting
every tree row, instead of every other
row, or every third row, .la strongly
recommended, and a good dosage
must be given each tree.
Early varieties should be .dusted
two of three times. Use the same
dust formula as above at the time
indicated for the first and second
dusting or for the first, second and
fourth dustings.

and gathering peanuts. We hav

o have had better success with
North Carolina Runners than
any other kind, although we raise
juite a few, of White Spanish. The
White Spanish will bring n little more
on the market than the Runners, but
the Runners are better for hogs.
Be sure your land is drained. Do
not plant peanuts on wet, soggy land,
Break your land broadcast, and
it has litter on run harrow over to
get it smooth. Just before planting
time lay off your rows about thirty
inches with middle buster or shovel.
That will give you a good water fur
row. Then get up on the middle be
tween these furrows with a Cole
planter, drop your peanuts about ten
inches apart; and put them in the
ground about 2 or 3 inches deep,
you shell your peanuts put them

2 inches will do.

It is a matter of co-operation for city consumers to thus aid their

ia more than a mere investment. It is helping some farmer, some

FOURTH APPLICATION,
(Optional, Sec Note.)
Ten days to two weeks before
harvest, if brown rot is appearing and
rains arc frequent, use:
Self-boiled lime-sulphur 8-8-50,
alone.
NOTE: Peach foliage and fruit
inay show injury from three oppli
cations of arsenate of lead. Injury
will be more pronounced on the older
trees, especially those on thin soil
and making comparatively little an
nunl growth. Vigorous trees oil
strong soil ore least likely to suffer.
Growers must decide, whether in
view of curculio abundance the three
arsenate of lead treatment* should
be given. If after the second spriiy-
inf such injury shows up, tho third
application might be omitted, or the
amount of arsenate or lead reduced
to three-fourths of a pound to 50
gallons of self-boiled lime-sulphur.
The same caution applies to the ap
plication of dust.
EARLY VARIETIES: These
should be sprayed two or three times.
Use the materials recommended for
first and second, or first, second and
fourth applications above, applying
them at the same time as notc<
above.
Directions for Preparing Self-Boiled
Lime Sul^Sur, 8-8-50.
Tincc 8 pounds of unslaked or
stone lime in a 50 enllon barrel, and
pour over it enough water, prefer

the slaking starts, add 8 pounds of
sulphur. Add water from time to
time to keep the mixture from be

ercised not to drown the lime whicn
would cause the slaking process to
®top to soon. After the mixture has
boiled some five minutes, cool off
with water, strain into the spray tank

phur and mixing it with a little water
before adding to the slaking lime.
The formula may be raised to
16-16-100 or 52-32-200. A larger
container should be used, however, in
preparing self-boiled lime-sulphur
with these formulas. Stock solution
enn of course be made up, observing
the proportions given.
Thoroughness in Spray:ng.

curculio damage to the 1920 peach
crop can be directly attributed to
poor spraying. The fruit must 1>

number of outfits to handle the acre

all do this job thoroughly and not

ing the spray out of the nozzle at

The dusting schedule for peaches:
FIRST APPLICATION.
As soon ns calyces or “shucks"
start to split, making sure to com
plete the spraying by the time the
calyces have shod. (See note under
time for first application in liquid
rchedule), use:
AYsenate of lend 5 per cent; sul
phur 80 per cent; lime 15 per cent.
your .rows 20' to 24 inches apart and
plant them six inches in the drill.
You should plant Runners about the
middle of April and your, Spanish
nuts about the first of May. Plant
your Spanish nuts just as you want
to, either in the hull or shell them
if you. They will come up almost
as quick in the hull. You can get a
plate from tho Cole people that will
plant them in the hull.
Gathering is very simple when you
get fixed for it; you can get various
plowi suitable for gathering, and you
will have no trouble on this line.
We plant about twenty acres to
tho plow, and make GO to 80 bushels
Runners to the acre, and 40 to 60
bushel* of Spanish per acre. Where
you havo been using a great deal of
fertilizer for cotton and com you will
not need any fertilizer for your pea
nuts for at least two years.
If you want any further informa
tion regarding culture, gathering
cr seed peanuts, write us and we will
gladly give you the information.

SPEAKERS PAINT
BRIGHT FUTURE
Buy-Now Movement
Boosted At Kiwanis
Dinner; Farmers Busy
Dinner Here
’’The best sign of the good times
that are just ahead of us that I have
seen and could imagine ia the great
amount oi farm work, plowing and
preparation for the planting of crops,
hat has been done in Sumter county
already this spring. I don't,think I
havi ever before seen anything like
it. The people have gone to.work
with a will, despite their disappoint
ments, looking ahead confidently to
the harvest, when wc shall all have
plenty again and prosperity will
turn.” :j
This was one of the most signifi
rant utterances of Mayor J.
Sheppard ill a speech before the
Americus Kiwanis club ladles night
dinner at the Windsor hotel Frida;
night, the theme of the program
which was the Buy-Now campaign
launched internationally by Ki
wanis.
"The speaker who has preceded
me,” the mayor continued, "has just
told you that he would keep

friends in Americus and Souther
Field was the marriage Sunday at
12:90 o'clock in the home of Dr. and
Mrs. Carl W. Miner on Leo street
of Miss Alma Ferry. and Sergeant
Fletcher Monroe Bishop. Only a few
close friends of the young people
were present to hear Dr. Minor, pas.
tor of tho First Baptist church, read
the sendee which united them.
Immediately following the cere
mony Mr. and Mrs. Bishop left for
Souther Field, where he Is ongagod
in the clerical department Vox the
thus practice what he preaches. I am
nothin his class, because I havo al
ready spent mine, and more, too. But
seriously, this Buy-Now movement
means more than just spending; it
means to ’Carry-On.’ as wc learne*'
in the war. It menns not to be dit
couragcd, even though conditions arc
not as rosy as they have been,
means to keep working and pushing
on. confident of the future, and
looking bkek and holding back. With
such a spirit and tnc practice of buy
ing as wc need and as we ran pay
prosperity will come with the nev
harvest, and wc will all be selling
our tin lizzies and buying bigger cad:
—and all will be happy.”
The mayor had much more than
this to say, all in n happy vein and :r
complete endorsement of the Buy.
Now movement and demonstration ol
ts wholesome logic.
Preceding him, Dr. Carl Minor
made n witty, forceful talk in' sup-
nort of the Buy-Now movement, de-
luring the greatest economic good

rybody would fall in behind it and
practice it.
