ISI a SERVICES RENDERED
BY 611 ^ENTOMOLOGY
I What The Board Has Done And Is Doing To
Save Food, Fruit And Cotton Crops From
Injurious Insects And Diseases
Atlanta, Ga., May 21. —(Special.)—
I The people of Georgia, especially
farmers and fruit growers, ought to
be well posted on the variety and ex
tent of the services offered to them
through the State Board of Entomol
ogy—services for which there is no
charge and which have saved the
state, or its individual citizens, in the
I last twenty years, many millions of
I dollars.
The Georgia State Board of Ento
mology was established in 1898 with
an initial appropriation of only $2,500.
I It had then only a state entomologist
and a stenographer. Today it has grown
into a splendidly efficient organization
of fifteen, including state entomolo
gist, assistant, experts, station super
intendents, stenographers and others,
and handles annually a state appro
priation of $50,000.
Generally speaking the work of the
state board may be classified as in
spection work, enforcement of quar
antine regulations, investigations look
ing to the control of injurious plant
insects, and experiments for the con
trol of plant diseases.
To Save Food Crops
The particular purpose of 'this ar
ticle is to call the attention of farm
ers and fruit growers to the service
the state board of entomology renders,
so that there may be a wider applica
tion of it right now to prevent the de
struction by insects ’ and diseases of
food and fruit crops so badly needed
by Georgia and the country.
The inspection work includes in
spection of the 115 nurseries in the
state, as well as foreign shipments
into Georgia, to prevent the dissemi
nation of injurious insects and plant
diseases. In addition, many peach and
apple orchards, private grounds in city
and country, truck farms and cotton
fields are inspected at the request of
owners, and directions given regard
ing the control of any plant diseases
or insects discovered in them.
Quarantine regulations which arc
enforced by the board relate to the
boll weevil and cotton products from
infested sections; to the shipment of
nursery stock within the state and
from other states; to the pine blister
rust, the sweet, potato weevil and the
foul brood of bees.
Insects And Diseases
The department conducts experi
ments under the direction of W. W.
• Chase, and furnishes information re
lating to the control of peach insects,
such as curculio, peach-tree borer,
shot-hoie borer and San Jose scale;
apple insepis, such as codling moth,
fiat and rbaad-headed borer, apple
aphis, woolly aphis, Han Jose and oth
er scale insects; Hessian’fly in wheat,
and, finally, garden and all crop in
sects and those which attack shade
trees, timber trees, shrubbery and
flowers.
Plant diseases have been given a
■ great deal of time and careful atten
tion by the board. Among these may
be mentioned hitter rot, scab, leaf
. spot, cedar rust and crown gall of the
apple; brown rot, scab, leaf curl,
crown gall and nematode galls of the
peach; various pecan insects and dis
eases; disea«efc of field and garden
plants such as potato Might, tomato
wilt, black rot of cabbages; and, .final
iy, the diseases which have proven so
destructive to cotton, such z as wilt, an
thracnose and leaf spot or black arm.
Reducing Cotton Wilt
State Entomologist A. C. Lewis has
devoted much time each season since
1905 to cotton wilt and its control. Mr.
Lewis has succeeded in breeding six
s^w strains which are wilt-resistant —
four hybrids, including Dix-Afifi, Lewis
63, Dilkon Hybrid and Hendley's
Choice; and two, by selection, Mo
della and DeSoto, .Cqyington-Toole,
now known as CouncH-Toole, has also
been greatly improved by select lox;.
These wilt-resistant strains originat-i
( ed and distributed by the board of
' entomology, are now saving the cotton
growers of Georgia millions of dollars
■ each year. Thus the annual loss from
wilt to Georgia has already been re
duced from $1,500,000 in 1905 to $500,-
000 in 1917, due directly to the work
of the board.
Value of Variety Testa
The variety cotton tests conduct
ed by the department are proving of
immense value. The purpose of these
, tests is to develop strains of cotton
which are both early maturing in or
der to meet boll weevil conditions and
wilt-resistant; and in addition to find
out which are best adapted to maxi
mum yield in particular localities.
These variety tests are now being con
ducted at Thomasville and Valdosta,
Where the board has two stations in
ribarge of Cotton Specialist Ira W.
"Williams. Experiments at the Valdos
ta station are confined to sea island
cotton. z
The variety tests at Vienna, Amer
ictie, Lumpkin and Brunswick, togeth
er with the breeding plot at DeSoto,
Sumter county are in charge of
X
■ State Entomologist Lewis, and the var
• riety test stations at "Waynesboro,
Sparta, Washington, • Rome, Cornelia
and Atlanta are • being directed by
Mr. C. A. McLendon. Mr. Lewis and
Mr. Williams are covering those sec
. tiohs of the state where the boll wee
z vil is already prevalent. Mr. McLen
don is operating in those sections ■
' which have not yet been reached by i
the boll weevil.
County Tests.
A special effort is being made by
the Board of Entomology in many
counties to develop, and breed up -
strains of cotton that can be grown J
successfully undertboll weevil and wilt ■
■ conditions in’ Georgia. In each of
■ these counties one or two cotton grow
ers provide from five to ten acres
• which are planted in seed furnished
by the department. From these cot
ton tests it is being ascertained what ।
varieties are best adapted to each !
county, and a party is secured, who,
in a few years, will become a source
of seed supply from whom others in
that community may purchase seed of
■ a variety adapted to their soil and cli
mate.
In this connection attention may be
. called to the fact that the Depart
ment of Entomology is giving special :
directions, whenever called for, with !
regard to growing cotton under boll '
weevil conditions. 'These county ;
tests are being conducted under the ■
direction of Messrs. Lewis, Williams |
and McLendon in 130 counties. The 1
' department has adopted this plan, of
distributing seed, instead of sending
; "out seed in bushel lots as heretofore.
Dusting for 801 l Weevil
In addition to the work on differ
ent insects as already outlined, the
. board of entomology is conducting this
, season extensive experiments on dust
i ing with arsenate'of lead and other
materials for the control of the boll
weevil. This work is being done to
’ determine if it is possible to develop i
‘ a more thorough, efficient and cheaper j
’ method of controlling the boll weevil ■
i than that now usually recommended. j
' Assistant Entomologist W. V Reed, i
■ engaged particulffrly in the work on '
; truck, is in charge of spraying
experiments at Griffin, for the con
’ irol of the Mosaic disease of pimento
■ poppers. Mr. Reed, however, is giv
‘ ing most of his time to the sweet .po
t tato weevil, which so far has made
I its appearance in only one county in
‘ the state —Chariton. Special efforts
! are being made to exterminate this
inSect, which Is to the sweet potato
what the boll weevil is to cotton, or
at least to keen it within its present
limits.
Reducing Food Losses
The board of entomology this ye^r '
' is making extraordinary efforts to as- i
' sist everyone in the control of insects I
and plant diseases, so as to reduce !
’ the losses from these sources to a !
' minimum. Thia work is just now. more i
important than ever because of the j
’ necessity that every possible pound i
' of food crops shall be raised and ma- !
: fared; and with proper effort most of
the ten to twenty per cent of the
crop which is thus annually destroyed,
1 may be saved.
’ For these reasons we urge everyone
, who finds an insect/or plant disease
; working on their crops to send at I
once a specimen for identification to .
; the beard of entomology. Specimens 1
' of insects should be sen! by mail in !
’ a tin box so that they will not be
J crushed or mutilated on the way.
