IHE ELLIS WASH FOR THE
PEACH TREE BORER.
Mr. J. D. Ellis, Dayton, Tennessee,
the pioneer fruit grower of Tennes¬
see, 8 years ago discovered, by ex¬
perimenting, a wash for the peach
tree borer which has given wonderful
satisfaction in saving peach trees
from these destructive pests. It is
general knowledge among peach
growers that the borer is one of the
most difficult insects to control. The
insect gets in its destrucitive work
under the ground and in a place that
is most difficult to approach. Re¬
moving the soil twice a year and go¬
ing after the borer with a wire by
following its burrow has been recom¬
mended as the best and surest way to
destroy it. Mr. Ellis after having
followed the wiring plan of eradica¬
tion says that 8 years of experience
in using a wash which he has tried
out, has proved to him that the wash
is far more satisfactory and least
troublesome. The Ellis wash for
peach tree borers is made as follows:
10 gallons of concentrated lime sul
-juo apnaa sj.tenb ^ luot^njos .inqd
bolic acid; 12 pounds of glue or
starch; 3 pounds powdered arsenate
of lead. Add enough water to make
50 galloons. This is sufficient to
treat a thousand trees. The wash
must be kept well stirred and is ap¬
plied with a common brush. Just as
soon as the crop is gone,—July or
August—scrape the dirt from around
the collar of the tree and paint from
the first forks of the tree on down.
Mr. Ellis does not draw the dirt back
up to his trees until sometime after
the middle of December, and often
not until spring. The odor from this
tree wash is a repellant and the
winged insect that deposits the eggs
will not tarry long where it has been
used. The treatment is repeated each
year.—Dalton Citizen.

NEW METHODS OF COMBATING
PEACH INSECT PEST SOUGHT
The season of 1920 was particu¬
larly favorable to curculio develop¬
ment, and the loss to Georgia peach
growers has been quite heavy,
amounting per-haps to as much as
$2,000,000. At the present time de¬
fensive measures are largely spray¬
ing during the spring and early sum¬
mer. This method of controol, gener¬
ally used by peach growers, has
heretofore resulted in a fair degree
of protection to the crop. The com¬
bination of unusual curculio abun¬
dance and hot and rainy weather has
greatly lessened the efficacy of the
control Measures in vogue, and the
Bureau of Entomology is conducting
experiments to determine the possi¬
bility of wholesale destruction of
the beetles in orchards by thorough
spraying and dusting of the trees in
the fall. It is expected that prelimi¬
nary results from this work will soon
be available and from which it will
i be possible to decide what value, if
: any, this method may have.

FIRE DEPARTMENT’S ZOO
BEING GREATLY ENLARGED
Work began this week on a regu¬
lar zoological park to house the an¬
imals composing the local fire de¬
partment’s zoo and to provide for
others to be added thereto.
Mr. W. H. Harris has generously
loaned his lot on Railroad street
j near the city hall to be used as a
park for the animals until such
time as he may have sale for the
ground, and already me posts have
been erected for a nine-foot wire
fence which will enclose the entire
lot. A cage twenty feet deep and ex¬
tending across the entire Railroad
street frontage of the lot and set
back four feet from the front fence
is to be provided for the smaller un¬
imais, and a large open space will be
left within the enclosure for larger
ones which will be added to the zoo.
'J'he animals now constituting the
collection are “Irish,” the monkey
loaned by Mayor Neil, one oppossum,
two raccoons, a pair of gray fox
squirrels, and three alligators. Mr.
j. j,. Everett, chief of the fire d (?
purt merit and daddy of the zoo, ex¬
pects to get a fawn from South Geor
gia as soon as the corral is ready to
receive it, and says he will welcome
contributions of all kinds of animal;
except snakes, on which he draws the
Ij m -. He especially wants a little
bear. Won’t somebody please hurry
up and cateh one? He also says that
contributions of money will be very
acceptable as the animal park is go¬
ing to cost $100 or $500, and will be
something for Fort Valley to be
proud of and a perennial joy to the
kiddies and source of interest for
their elders as well.

1 shouldn't preach about it, But
these days when the best thoughts of
oui greatest „______ business executives are
I devoted largely to golf, and to satis
I factorily solving the pressing
iem of “where can I get a little
hooch,” your humble editor hopes to
slip in unobtrusively a quiet and very
modest suggestion about saving mon¬
ey, feeling that no harm will be done
anyway because no one will accord
him any attention whatever upon
such a stale, flat and profitable sub
jed.
Uei*e is the thought. A dollar saved
today in less than ten years is going
to be worth, perhaps we can estimate
a high as two dollars, including in
terest.
We are not a financial editor and
there are a good many ways of saving
money. We quote merely as an ex¬
ample our friend, the Liberty Bond.
We can get one of these now for
about $85.00, for which the govern¬
ment will in a term of years hand
over to us over $100.00, and pay us
interest in the meantime.
In ten years we can get for our
i $ 100.00 at least what we would pay
$150.00 for at this time. Then there
is $40.00 in interest, which may be
more if we will put it in the savings
bank. We can get $60.00 in present
values for this.
So not counting in the probability
that the bonds will some day sell at a
premium, and waiving a little matter
of interest on our bond interest, we
can collect in ten years about $210.
00 for each $85.00 invested today.

DIG SWEET POTATOES
BEFORE THE VINES
ARE KILLED BY FROST
Tests at the Georgia Experiment
Station and at experiment stations in
other southern states, have proven
that the time of digging sweet pota¬
toes has much to do with their keep¬
ing and eating qualities.
It has been the practice for grow
ers to wait until frost kills the pota¬
to leaves before harvesting. This was
based on the theory that it required
frost to “drive the sap out of the
vines and potatoes into the ground
before the potatoes were ready to
harvest. This practice has undoubted¬
ly been responsible for the loss of
many potatoes in banks and storage
houses, because sweet potatoes dug
after the leaves are killed are apt
to be “waterlogged,” and thus diffi- j
cult to cure and keep. growing conditions |
Under normal
potato plants take water from
the soil thru the roots, use- what they
[require, | thru throwing the leaves. off any This
moisture pro
’ well regulated by the
j cess is potato
_
plants as long as the leaves are alive
J and healthy, but when the leaves are
seriously injured by disease or are
killed by frost they cannot throw off
the excess moisture. The potato
roots being in the ground and not in
jured by frost continue to take up
water anil as the dead leaves are un
able to get rid of the excess moisture,
it accumulates in the vines and po
tatoes, giving them the socalled
“waterlogged” condition. This excess
moisture in the potatoes makes them
more difficult to dry or cure, even
under the best storage conditions,
The excess moisture also makes them
more subject to the attacks of fungi,
like Rhizopus, which causes large
losses due to soft rot in storage.
Sweet potatoes planted in the
spring are mature and ready to dig
before danger qf frost injury to the
leaves, and those planted later In the
season would keep better if' harvest
ed while immature, than if allowed to
stay in the ground until the vine?
are killed by frost.
The Georgia Experiment Station
advises growers to dig their potatoes
before the leaves are killed by frost,
but in case a grower is not able to do
so, he shoud try to get his potatoes
harvested as soon os possible after
frost, for the longer the potatoes re
main in the ground after the vines
are frosted the more “waterlogged”
they become.
