Under no circumstances, declares Slate Entomologist E. Lee Worsham, should the Georgia farmer plant po tato seed this year from the infected districts of Maine and New York, be cause it has just been found impossi ble to detect the disease in its early stages, and it may be introduced into the state through some of the pota toes which have been certified to ns good for seed and which are now in Georgia, or on their way here. Especially, states Mr. Worsham, should the planter avoid the use for seed of any potatoes which are label ed "For Table Use Only,” as these are possibly infected and at least under suspicion. Mr. Worsham lias just received in formation from the Federal Horticul tural Board in Washington to the ef fect that it has refused to certify any further seed potatoes from the disease infected sections of Maine and New York, from which a large supply of the seed potatoes used in Georgia is secured. This action was taken on account of the discovery just made that it is practically impossible to de tect the powdery scab disease in its early stages. Would Mean Loss Of Many Thousands. Should this disease get into Georgia potato fields, it would mean a loss of many thousands of dollars to the state through the destruction of crops. It would also prevent any shipments of potatoes front infected sections being made to other statqp. Since January, 1914, there has been established a tjuarantine against the infected areas in Maine and New York. The principal infected area in Maine is Aroostook county. Hereto fore shipments of potatoes from these areas have been permitted on certifi cate following careful inspection. Po tatoes thought to be absolutely free from the disease were certified to by the federal agricultural board as seed potatoes and their shipment authoriz ed. All potatoes under any suspicion whatsoever were certified to only as table stock potatoes and not suitable for planting. All interstate shipments of potatoes are controlled by the Federal Ilorti- culturaWoard of Washington, and this board has now' reached the conclusion that it is dangerous to plant any po tatoes from the infected districts, ow ing to the difficulty of detecting the disease in its early stages. This in formation was conveyed to State En tomologist Worsham in the following telegram "Washington, D. C., March 4, 1915.— E. L. Worsham, State Entomologist, Atlanta, Ga.: The rapid spread of powdery scab disease in Aroostook county, Maine, and the difficulty which has developed in detecting by any practicable inspection the presence of slight infection witli this disease lias led the department to discontinue fur ther certification of seed stock from tile infected districts in Maine and New York. Public should be warned that all seed potatoes hitherto shipped from infected districts in Maine and New York may contain powdery scab whether certified or not. The only federal certification of potatoes as a condition of interstate movement from the infected districts hereafter will he as table stock potatoes, C. L. Marlatt, Chairman Federal Horticul tural Board,” Would Be Dangerous To Take a Chance. Hundreds of Georgia farmers have been iri the habit of getting their po tato seed from Maine and New York because of the heretofore good quality of the seed. But, under the circum stances, Mr. Worsharn says, it is bet ter for them to use any seed they can get than to run the danger of introduc ing the powdery scab disease, the ef fect of which will be practically to destroy the potato industry in what ever section of the state it became prevalent. Under the horticultural board's de cision it will be dangerous now even to use the potatoes which it has al ready certified for seed, because there is no w r ay of telling whether or not they are diseased. The certified seed potatoes shipped from the infected dis tricts bear white Inspection tags, while potatoes from infected districts for table use only have yellow tags, and table potatoes from supposedly non-infected districts have blue tags. The powdery scab is a fungus dis ease which forms under the skin of the potato and makes hlister like sec tion? upon it. It i:- the most serious disease known to the potato, destroy ing it in large quantities. It was probably brought into this country from Europe or Canada. Atlanta, Ga., February.—(Special.)— What Georgia peach growers want to know for practical purposes is how to control and exterminate the San Jose scale. The origin and history of the scale matter little; whether it came front Japan or China, cuts no figure now. The important fact is it is here; the important problem, how to get rid of it, or at lenst keep it down. The San Jose scale is controlled by spraying with a lime-sulphur solution, and spniylng time is here. During the next thiry days nil peach nnil other fruit trees upon which the scale -has made its nppcnrnnce, even in most limited extent, should ho given their spring spray treatment, says State Entomologist E. Lee Worsham. A brief description of the scale will help In recognizing It. The scale It self Is the covering of a tiny Insect. Cold weather kills many of them, but they have been found crawling as late as November and December and ns early as March. The young insect sticks its beak into bark of the tree and covers itself with a scale formed from waxy secretions which spring from all parts of Its body. How the Scales Look This scaly covering is at first al most white or pale yellow, but the color slowly changes. First the scale, both mala and female, becomes round and jet black except for the central nipple. These round black scales pus ily distinguish the San Jose scale front nearly all other scale insects. As the scales mature they lose this character istic black color and when full grown are of an ashy gray color, with a pale reddish or yellow nipple in the center. This description applies to the female scale. The male scalo differs from tile female by being oblong-oval in stead of round and is nearly twice as long as It is wide. The males are smaller and often darker in color, and the nipple will bo. at, the end instead of the center as In the female. Fruit, growers or those who have only a few trees from which they want to get perfect fruit, should use the lime-sulphur spray now at any time before the buds open. Where there was a winter spraying, it may only he necessary to repeat on had trees, but If there was no winter spraying, every tree should he gone over thoroughly. There are tw 0 lime-sulphur washes used effectively in Georgia, one con taining salt and the other without it. Experiments of the State Board of Entomology show the wash without the salt is just as effective, and the use of salt causes spraying machin ery and boilers to rust. What To Spray With In making the solution without salt, mix 1(> pounds of ground sulphur Into a paste and add about 15 gallons of boiling water in kettle or boiling tank, if steam is used. Add 20 pounds of fresh unslaked lime and stir occasion ally while the lime is slaking. Boll about 45 minutes or longer if neces sary to secure the proper color. After boiling sufficiently the solution, when stirred, should be a dirty greenish-yel low color. The bright yellow color of the suphtir should not be apparent. If it Is, the mixture needs more boil ing. After the concentrated mixture Is sufficiently boiled, dilute with warm water to a total of 50 gallons and use while warm, spraying the trees thor oughly with a spray pump. Sometimes a still later spraying is needed when the fruit Is half-matured, In order to keep It perfect. This spraying should he made with an emulsion made of one-half- pound of hard soap dissolved in one gallon' of boiling water, to which add two gallons of kerosene oil and agitate the mixture violently for 10 minutes. Dilute with 7 gallons of water to make a 20 per cent solu tion for this spraying. This is a val uable contact Insecticide for destroy ing plant lice, San Jose scale and other scale insects. Peach Leaf Curl Peach trees should he treated for peach leaf curl in the early spring at the same time the spraying treatment is given for San Jose scale. This spraying should be made about one month before the buds open, and a little later on, any unsprayed should lie touched up with the spray ing mixture. Peach leaf curl comes in the spring, but there are no outward signs of it until it Is too late to be controlled for that season The affected leaves take on an abnormal color, become curled and much thickened and finally drop. The disease is due to a micro scopic fung,is tiiat lives and feeds up'.n the Juir-i's within the leaves. While experiments have shown that the Bordeaux mixture dime U pounds, copper sulphate ;i pounds, water r.u gallons) is the most satisfactory spray for peach leaf cur] from an 1 conoin- leal standpoint, it is also true that the lime-sulphur wash is equally r-f- fectlve, so that spraying for Ban Jose scale and peach leaf curl may lie made at the same time. In other words, if you are spraying for Ban Jose scale, you will get the peach leaf curl at the same time; hut If you are spraying only for peach leaf curl, the Bordeaux mixture is cheaper. The late fall or winter spraying controls the curl as we)l as the spring treatment. Write to the State Department of Entomology, State Capitol, Atlanta, Ga., :or a; j further Information. Obituary. "Tlicre H no (lock, howe’er Watched unit tended. But one dead lamb in there; There is no ftreulde, howe’er defended, But hue one vuennt chair.” Little Ruth McCullough died March , 1915—aged 10 months. A little bowl lies broken at the fountain; a little link in the silver chain of life is missing. Over a household, once so happy, is now hanging the banner of grief. Warm hearts and willing hands hovered about the cradle; but human hearts and hands availed not, and God culled His own. Dear little Ruth, in that other clime we trust to meet you, and when the way grows dark and our feet grow weary, may your little spirit, like a guardian angel, hover over and about us, to guide our faltering steps “through the valley and the shadow,” and may you ever be a light in the window of your heavenly home for the loved ones left behind. “Ere sin could Might or Horrow fads, Death enmo with kindly care, The opening hud to heaven convoyed And bade it blossom there.” One Who Loved Her.
