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, The Cheapest Rate of the Year ROUND $14-50 TRIP Boat Trip in One Direction $3.

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 made of corn meaL Paris green ana ACCOUNT 2 7th REUNION CONFEDERATE VETERANS 22nd REUNION SONS OF VETERANS Tickets on sale, June 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 Good returning until June 21 and can be extended until July 6th for 50 cents.

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. .
