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 I newspapers for sale 1 fallen and a second application of the l* this office at 25c. per|»m« mUlure about four wtfeks laU!r hundred. 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.
