6 SPRING ST.
° n 'y high-class materials used
in my work.
Atlanta, Ga.—(Special.) —rerhaps
next to San .lose scale the peach tree
borer Is the worst enemy of the peach
in Georgia. Tills Insect,which works at
the base of trees, Joes more damage
than any other of Its class, says the
Georgia State Hoard of Entomology.
The adult peach borer resembles
the wasp In size and shape. ltoth
the male and female are steel blue in
general body color, bat the abdomen
of the female is marked with a broad
orange band which is absent on the
body of the mule. The eggs are laid
in August or early in September, and
from these little worms hatch and
soon begin to bore in the bark near
the ground, causing the gummy ex
udations so often noticed at the base
of peach and other stone fruit trees.
When full grown the worms are about
one inch in length, yellowish white iu
color with the head brown.
Among the various remedies which
have been tried are protecting the
base of the tree with paper and rak
ing up the dirt around it. Scraping
the treo with a worm Kook, getting
off both the gum and worms, has also
been practiced in the fall and the
spring. After worming a caustic pot
ash or lime-sulphur mixture is used to
kill remaining larvae.
Protect Base Of Trees
More recent experiments show that
the peach tree borer can be controlled
by protecting the area around the
base of the tree to prevent the young
larvae from crawling down to the
roots and laying their eggs on the
base of the tree, says State Entomol
ogist E. Lee Worsham.
A device designed for this purpose
has recently been perfected by Prof.
W. M. Scott, former State entomolo
gist of Georgia, which consists of a
cone-shaped shield inserted about the
base of the tree after removing the
dirt down to the roots. This shield
is then covered over with tarred pa
per and cemented to the tree with a
sticky or gummy substance so that
there is n 0 chance for the borers to
work their way to the roots. This de
vice seems to give absolute protection
and prevent the borers from getting
into llie roots of the trees.
To Keep Out The Worms
The plum curculio, a small dark-
brown, rough-back beetle, which is re
sponsible for most of tile wormy
peaches in this state, is another pest
with which the growers will have to
contend this spring. This beetle,
about a fifth of an inch in length and
with wings which enable it to fly a
considerable distance, will draw up its
legs when disturbed and remain seem
ingly lifeless. While playing “’pos
sum'' it is difficult to distinguish it
from a small dried hud.
The female lays her eggs under the
skin of the fruit, usually only one to
each peach, and the worm bores to
ward the center of the fruit, finally
lodging near the seed. The fruit be
comes gummy, diseased and ripens
prematurely or is imperfectly formed.
The results of two years experi
ments by the State Board of Ento
mology show that curculio can be best
controlled by spraying witli arsenate
of lead in the ratio of two pounds to
50 gallons of water, to which is add
ed a milk of lime solution made from
three pounds of stone lime. The first
application is recommended when the
calyces or shucks are shedding and
the second two weeks later.
For a long time the method of jar
ring the trees to shake down the bee
tles was used, but experiments have
proven Hiis more expensive and less
effeciive than the spraying plan.
Curculio and brown rot are intimate
ly associated, in many instances both
are active at the same time, and the
department recommends a system of
spraying which will control or large
ly eliminate botli of these troubles.
Brown Rot And Curculio
The brown rot is a fungus disease
which attacks the frui-t as it ap
proaches maturity, causing it to rot
on the trees before it is ready to be
picked for market. The loss from
brown rot is frequently from 25 to 50
per cent and sometimes aB high as
95 per cent where its development is
encouraged by damp, wet weather.
For brown rot. independently of cur
culio there should be at least two
sprayings with a home-made lime-sul
phur solution. It is most usual, how
ever, and most often necessary to
spray for curculio and brown rot at
the same time, when three sprayings
are used as follows:
First Spraying—About time calyces
or shucks are shedding, using solution
of 2 pounds arsenate lead nnd 2
pounds stone lime to 50 gallons water.
Second Spraying. — About three
weeks later, using home-made lime-
sulphur solution and arsenate of lead
combined, in proportion of ,S pounds
lime, 8 pounds sulphur and 2 pounds
arseiiate lead to 50 gallons water.
Third Spraying.—About four weeks
after the second, using the home-made
lime-sulphur solution alone.
The last spraying for brown rot
should be made at least 30 days be
fore the fruit rfpervs,
The entomological department be
lieves three sprayings necessary to get
the best results, but fairly good results
have been obtained from two applica
tions by using the home-made lime-
sulphur solution with arsenate of lead
just after the calyces or shucks have

Atlanta, Ga.—(Special.)—Tlu* Geor
gia State Hoard of Entomology
lias continued during the past year
its extensive experiments hi Hie con
trol of pecan Insects and diseases,
and has made notable progress.
The increasing Importance of this
uut crop In Georgia, where the soil
and climate are peculiarly adapted
to Its production, has caused State
Entomologist E. Lee Worsham to go
very thoroughly Into the question, and
two main facts stand oat clearly from
the data that lias been col
lected, viz., that spraying with arse
nate of lead is the most effective rem
edy against the caterpillars and In
sects which nttack the trees, and that
spraying with Bordeaux mixture is
the best method of combatting pecan
scab.
Pecan scab Is a fungus dtsense
which attacks the nut and the hull,
covering It in such a manner ns to
dwarf it and prevent It from-maturing.
It has been known also to attack the
leaves and tender twigs ns well.
Pecan scab and pecan rosette are
the two diseases which most serious
ly affect the tree. There is no known
remedy against the rosette, which
causes the ends of the twigs to die
in tlie fall.
Work On Pecan Scab
The principal experiments on pe
can scab were conducted last year in
Mitchell county. Bordeaux mixture
3-3-50 was used as a spray. Four
plots were sprayed, each plot being
given a different number of treat
ments during the season. The first
application was made just before the
buds begun to swell In the spring,
again in June, nnd ngnin In July and
August. Records were kept of the
plots sprayed and also of an un-
sprayed plot for checking purposes.
The nuts were collected and tabu
lated at regular intervals, and notes
were made of the condition of the
trees, individual records were also
kept of the trees. The results show
ed that unquestioned benefit was ob
tained from the spraying, though com
plete control was not effected.
In addition to using Bordeaux mix
lure it is also an excellent idea, says
the state board, to topwork seedling
trees witli varieties that are more re
sistant. The Stewart displays a great
deal of resistance to this disease
The scab and rosette are practical
the only two diseases which attack the
pecan in Georgia. The trees are more
or less free from,scale insects, and
such scales as are occasionally found
may be easily controlled by lime-sul
phur and other sprays used for the
San Jose scale.
Many Harmful Insects.
But while the diseases which at
tack the tree are limited practically
to the two above mentioned, there
are at least forty different species
of insects capable of working harm
in the pecan orchard. The pecan
bud moth ts a yellowish or pale
green worm of the caterpillar variety,
with a dark head. It feeds on young
buds, tender twigs and leaves. There
are several generations of it, the first
of which comes tn May. It should he
sprayed witli arsenule of lead before
it works harm to the buds.
Another pest that can be controll
ed by spraying witli arsenate of lend
is the pecan case bearer, an insect
which forms a case around itself for
protection. There are two species of
case bearer, one of which attacks the
young buds and twigs, while tile oth
er eats holes in the leaves and de
vours the blossoms.
Experiments have shown that
thorough spraying with arsenate of
lead kills a very large percentage of
these insects. Powdered arsenate, 1
and 1-2 pounds to 50 gallons of wa
ter should he used. A barrel sprayer
is all right, if you can reach the tops
of the trees with it, but a powe;'
sprayer is, of course, preferable.
Burn The Web Worms
Another enemy is the fall web
worm, a grayish or brownish cater
pillar, which matures in a large white
web, which it leaves to go to other
parts of the tree. The best method
is to burn with a kerosene or light-
wood torch before they leave their
webs. After they have spread over
the trees, the arsenate of lead spray
may be UBed.
The pecan leaf caterpillar is rather
large and dark. Just prior to shed
ding their skins, they leave the
branches and congregate on tile trunk
in ball-like clusters. Spray in the
branches, or kill by burning when
clustered.
The best way to deal with the pe
can, tree borer Is to dig It out with
a knife. The wound should tie closed
with grafting wax.
The pecan girdler Is a beetle which
girdles the limbs, thus pruning them
of)'. The female deposits her eggs on
iHe girdled branches. Gather and burn
these branches during the winter
The only way to prevent the pecan
or hickory nut weevil, which bore
holes in ihe nuts, from spreading, is
to box up the infected nuts so that
the larvae cannot get Into tin-
ground.
Considerable experimental work has
been done during the -past year on
the pecan shuck worm. This Inaec
winters ever on the ground In the old
shucks. This sugests fall plowing as
a remedy avid last fall a number of
the insects were burled at different
depths. Notes will be taken In the
spring to determine the number killed.
Cause of the Fuss.
Soon after Oliver P. Newman wns
appointed by the President Inst sum
mer as one of the commissioners of
the District of Columbia, lie and hiB
fellow commissioner, Mr. Sictdons,
went to the Gettysburg reunion. As
the two men came into sight of tho
soldiers cannon began to go off. The
noise wns ear-splitting. Every time u
gun popped Newman jumped. Ho was
gun-shy. Finally the fuss was too
much for him. He glared at tho artil
lery, frowned at the officers, and
scowled at the privates. Then lie
turned to Siddons and asked angrily:
“What in thunder is all that dad-
blamed noise about?’’
Later somebody explained to him
that, as a commissioner of tho District
of Columbia held the rank of u Gover
nor of u State, he was being given the
Governor’s salute of seventeen guns.
“Then,” he said, with evident relief,
1 was being honored instead of an
noyed.”
The man with the hoe haB been rec
ognized by every age and nation as a
fundamental source of prosperity, and
while our literature abounds with en
comiums in his behalf tho half has
never been told.
But the man with the dough is equally
as important at this period of our
growth and development as the man
with the hoc. Attempts have been
made to discredit him, but when it
comes to building factories and the
railroads and large industrial enter
prises, which are necessary to our pros
perity, we must face the man with
money, and our destinies as a nation of
influence and power afe largely in his
hands.
It takes the man with the hoo and
the man with the dough combined to
make civilization, and one is interdo
pendent upon the other.
