IS TOLO BY ENTOMOLOGY BOARD
Atlanta, Ga., Ma , j.—(Special.)—In
Its recent campaigns designed to pre
pare Georgia farmers for the fight they
must make against the Mexican cot
ton boil weevil, the State Board of
Entomology and its representatives
have urged as one of the important
factors, the planting of home gardens.
The value of the home garden was
urged in every one of the fifty or more
meetings held in various south Geor
gia counties this year. The campaign
has been taken up in almost every
town and city in the state; back yards
and vacant lots, wherever they are
available, are being converted into
home gardens in the effort to lower
the ever increasing cost of living. The
home garden is recognized as indis
pensable on the farm, and along with
it truck farming as a business is re
ceiving more and more attention and
growing in importance throughout the
state every year. Georgians, particu
larly in the middle and southern sec
tions of the state, should have home
gardens all the year around. There
•re several vegetables which will stand
the winter climate and which can be
grown in the open during the winter
months.
To Control Garden Pests
Recognizing the growing value both
of the homo garden and the truck farm
ing Industry, the State Board of Ento
mology. has made a special study of
Jnsects and diseases which attack
truck crops and has prepared a bulle
tin describing these and the best
methods for their control. The infor
mation contained in this bulletin will
be found valuable to practically every
gardener in Georgia. A copy of it will
he sent upon request addressed to tlie
State Board of Entomology, State Cap
itol, Atlanta, da.
Many truck crops are susceptible to
attack by nematode worms which
cause the formation of knots on the
roots of the plant. Among the plants
most severely injured by this worm
are beans, beets, cantaloupes, celery,
clover, cucumbers, egg plant, lettuce,

tables. This spider injures the plant
by sucking the Juice from the leaves
and tender portions. All plants fur
nishing fcod for them through the win
ter, should bo destroyed. Where iufes
tation is found in the spring it is con
trolled by a spraying of one part Of
lime sulphur to fifty or one hundred
parts of water.
Uee of Trap Plants
The harlequin cabbage bug, a black
beetle with orange , markings which
feeds on collards, cabbage, mustard,
radishes, turnips, lottuce, etc., is con
trolled only by contact poisons. Thor
ough cleaning up and burning of trash
in and about the garden or field dur
ing the winter will destroy many hiber
nating adults. Mustard is frequently
used with good effect as a trap plant.
If the bugs are found In numbers on
growing’ crops, a spray of a 15 per
cent kerosene emulsion can be applied
with success.
The squash bug, a dark brown bug
a little over half an inch long, should
iie pickpd eff by hand when first seen.
r Spraying with a ten per cent kerosene
emulsion or "black leaf forty,” one
part to 300 parts water, will kill the
young bugs. Clean culture should be
practiced.
There are several varieties of plant
lice, or aphids, which attack cucum
bers, cantaloupes and cabbages. Spray
ing with "black leaf forty," a nicotine
tobacco product, has been found the
best remedy.
The mole cricket, which is preva
lent in the southeastern section of the
state, particularly on the coast, where
it does extensive damage to tomatoes,
peppers, turnips, potatoes and other
growing plants, is best controlled by
plowing the breeding areas two or
three times during April, May and
June, thus exposing many of the eggs
to the sun which kills them. Poison
baits of cotton seed meal with arse
nate of Lead or Paris green, have prov
en very beneficial.
Few gardens escape the destructive
activities of the cut worm. The best
method of getting rid of it is through
placing about the garden poison baits

hand, there are many varieties which
are immune to attack. The nematode
can he eradicated only by cultural
methods or proper rotation of crops.
By planting immune crops in infested
areas for a few years, the nematodes
will die of starvation. There are va
rious ways of treating Beed beds to
destroy the nematode, and the pur
chaser of plants such as tomatoes,
cabbage, egg plant, etc., should be sure
they are grown In a soil which Is free
from this worm.

Arsenate of Lead Useful
The pickle worm, the melon borer,
and the squash vine borer which at
tack cucumbers, melons, squashes and
similar plants, are largely controlled
of lead mixed with air slaked lime
at the rate of one pound to five. The
green horn worm which attacks the
tomato plant is also controlled by
dusting with the arsenate of lead and
lime mixture.
The same remedy—one pound of ar
senate of lead to five pounds of air
slaked lime—is most effective against
the common Colorado potato beetle,
and is used with success against the
various varieties of cabbage worm.
The bulletin prepared by the board
not only describes the method of con
trolling these various insects which at
tack garden vegetables, but tells how
to make the various mixtures that are
used to eliminate them. .
