ANSWERS TO
INQUIRIES
Questions on All Sorts of Sub¬
jects For the Farm.
EOIEIJTIITO, PRACTICAL AUSWEE3
“The *| p'e Tree -Aphis.”
Question. —I send yon in a small bot¬
tle an apple tree twig covered with
small eggs, what are they? Also a bug
which I wish you would name? If these
ate injurious to tree or fruit give me
remedy for them.
Answer.— After a careful microscopic
examination I find the twig covered
with the black, shining eggs of the
“Apple tree Aphis. ” They are laid in
the fall of the year, and at first are of a
light green or yellow color, but gradu¬
ally become darker, and finally black
and glossy. As soon as the buds begin
to expand in the spring these eggs hatch
out small lice, which insert their bills
in the buds and tender leaves and suck
the juices from them. These lice attain
maturity in 10 or 12 days, and then com¬
mence giving birth to living young at
the rate of two or three daily. They
continue this for two or three weeks
when they die. The young lice repeat
this process of reproduction exactly like
their predecessors, and so it goes on uu
til the fall. At that time a stock of
eggs is deposited on the bark of the
limbs and twigs to continue the species
another season.
Remedies—Scrape the dead bark off
the trees during the winter and wash
(he limbs with a solution of soft soap
and soda. This is done to destroy the
eggs. To destroy the young lice syringe
the trees at the time the buds are put¬
ting out with either strong soapsuds,
weak lye, or tobacco water made by
boiling 1 pound of the stems or leaves in
a gallon of water. A cold spell after
the lice have hatched out will kill mil¬
lions of them, though no degree of cold
seems to hurt the eggs.
The bug you sent for identification s
called the “Two-spotted Lady-bird,” be¬
cause of its having two bright orange
colored spots, one on each wing cover¬
ing. The Lady-bird is the friend of the
fruit grower, as she and her larve eat
great numbers of the lice.
Rotten I’ino SI raw as a Fertilizer.
Question.—O n a branch which runs of
through my farm is a large deposit
swamp muck, composed of rotten pine
straw, leaves and other vegetable mat¬
ter, mixed with soil washed in from sur¬
rounding land. Is this valuable as a
fertilizer? If so how shall I use it?
Answer.— Such a deposit as you de¬
scribe is valuable if you can utilize it by
a short haul. The value of muck lies in
the nitrogen and organic matter, the
amounts of potash and phosphoric acid
being insignificant. The nitrogen be¬
comes more quickly available by com¬
posting the muck, which brings about
fermentation. By this means, also, the
organic matter is converted into humus,
so important to the growth of all plants.
It will he best for you to throw the
muck out on the bank and let it become
dry before composting. Either of the
three following formulas will give you
a good compost:
no. 1.
Muck............ ... .4,000 pounds
Cow manure..... .... 2,000
Green cotton seed. ... . 1,000 «*
Acid phosphate... ....1,500 ••

In each case after mixing cover with
earth and let fermentation or heating
take place before using.
Amount of Fertilizer In an Acre of Cotton.
Question.— profitably How much fertilizer cotton? may
be used in an acre of
I have been trying different amounts,
but so far my experiments are rather
contradictory and disappointing.
Answer. —The amount of commer¬
cial fertilizer which may be used on an
acre of cotton varies so widely with the
quality and condition of the soil, the
seasons, previous crops grown, and
many other circumstances, that no set
rule can be laid down. Generally
speaking, if the land has been brought
to a very high state of cultivation very
heavy applications may be made, bnt
for ordinary Georgia soil* in good con¬
dition, that is, which have been care¬
fully cropped and improved and not al¬
lowed to become hard or destitute of
humus, ati application of about 700
pounds per acre has been found most
profitable. When this quantity is used
it is advisable to apply half in the drill
and well mixed with the soil at plant¬
ing and the other half at the second
plowing, in the siding furrow. A
bulletin from the Georgia Experiment
Station says: “It has been shown that
$8.00 worth of well balanced fertilizer
may be expected to increase the yield
of seed cotton on one acre 1,000 pounds.
But such results can only be attained
by concentrating the fertilizer on the
best land, not by scattering it at the
rate of 100 or 200 pounds per acre over
a large, worn out plantation. The mis¬
take should not be made of applying
large amounts of concentrated fertil¬
izers on thin, worn ont laud. The larger
tjie application the more imoortaot i*
is mat the land be in the best possible
condition.”—State Agricultural Depart¬
ment.
the I*ropf-r Proportion, of the ItilT.rent
Element. In a Fertilizer For Cotton.
Question. —Please give me yonr views
as to the best proportions iu which to
combine phosphoric acid, potash and
nitrogen to successfully fertilize a cot¬
ton crop.
Answer. —In fertilizing a cotton cron
phosphoric acid is relatively the most
important element and controls the ac¬
tion of tlie other two. Its presence is
very important to tlie development of
perfect bolls, and while it may be used
alone with soma beneficial results, it
is much more effective when combined
with the other two. Neither nitrogen
nor potash, when applied alone, produce
any appreciable increase iu the yield,
and these only do their best work when
combined with each other and with
phosphoric acid, which latter exercises
the deciding influence as to the quantity
of each, which can bo profitably used.
That is, in making up a formula for
cotton, the amount of phosphoric acid
should determine the amounts of the
other two. Potash and nitrogen are
generally used in the same proportions,
and the amount of phosphoric acid
should be from 2% to 3 times as large.
Thus: Potash, 1; nitrogen, 1; phos¬
phoric acid, from 2% to 3, would be
about the proportion for general use,
and these proportions we would get
from a fertilizer analyzing: Soluble
(available) phosphoric acid, 9; potash,
8; nitrogen, 3.—State Agricultural De¬
partment.
Is It Best For Cotton to Apply Fertilizer
In the Drill or ISroadcast?
Question.—I have decided to make a
heavy application of commercial Would ferti¬
lizer to my cotton crop, you ad¬
vise me to apply in trie drill or broad¬
cast? The laud is in moderately good
condition. Some of it was in corn last
year, some in grain and some in peas.
Answer. —Our experience has been
that when large amounts of fertilizer
are used it is not advisable to apply in a
single drill. Either two separate appli¬
cations should be made, one in the seed
drill at planting time aud well mixed
with the soil and the other in the first
Biding furrows, or if the seed are to bo
plauted very soon after the beds are
made, a part of the fertilizer may be
drilled into the center furrow and the
remainder in tlie two listing furrows.
The experiments at the Georgia station
show that “it is by no means necessary,
nor is it desirable to broadcast the ferti¬
lizer when iess than 1,500 pounds are to
he applied to an acre of corn or cotton
or other wide row crop. Broadcast ma¬
nuring should as a rule be confined to
crops that are planted broadcast, as

Proper Foil For tlie Cultivation of Pecans.
Quest-on. —Will you kindly write mo
something about the cultivation of pe¬
cans? The proper soil, the number of
years before bearing, etc? I am told
they must be plant d from the nut, for
the reason rhut if in transplanting the
tap root should be broken they would
not bear. Is this true?
Answer. —The pecan tree requires for
its best development a rich alluvial soil,
being a native of the rich bottom lands
of Texas and the states bordering on the
lower Mississippi river. They maybe
grown successfully on rich uplands of
the cotton states, bnt viil never amount
to anything on thin, thirsty soils, where
many have been planted. On suitable
land the trees should be planted not less
than 40 to 50 feet apart each way, and
they should be well cultivated while
young. It is not true that should the
tap root be broken off in transplanting
the tree would not boar. At the same
time care should be taken to mutilate
the roots as little as possible. Some
growers prefer planting the nut where
the tree is to stand, others prefer to
transpl an t. Under favorable coitdi tions
the pecan will commence to bear in 12
to 14 years.
The “Harlequin" Bug;.
Question.— I am a large grower of
turnip and mustard seed. In the spring
before they ripen much damage is done
the plants by a spotted bug. What is
it? Gan you give a letnedy?
Answer.—T he bug that injures jour
crops is without doubt the “Harlequin”
bug, the worst insect enemy of all cru¬
ciferous plants. Tiiey live through the
winter hidden under leaves or trash of j
any kind. They are ready to deposit!
their eggs from the middle to last of!
March, and then in from four to six
days these hatch ont a brood of larvce,
which at once commence their destruc¬
tive work by piercing the leaves and
sucking the sap. The leaf thus pierced
soon wilts and dies. These insects aro
shy and timid, and upon the approach
of a person try to hide behind anything
that will conceal them. They are very
difficult to contend with, as they cannot
be reached by any of the arsenical poi¬
sons. All rubbish under which thobugs
may take refuge during tlie winter
should be carefully burned, and infested
fields or gardens should have clean cul¬
ture. Hand-picking into pans contain¬
ing water or kerosene is often resorted
to as a remedy. Pyrethrumin decoctiou
or powder, and kerosene emulsion may
prove effectual when the bugs are young.
