Question.- Is the San J tse scale
fmi.g-rous in (ho south than at
j . ;i: h?
Answer —This pest i* much more
g 1 active in the south than at the north,
, iag to the Ic'ngor breeding and fed d
.
i ig season afforded it by the
1 limate. In Georgia, the scale lies dor
j taut only about two months—from
J;, .• 15 to Feb. )5—leaving It
mouths m the year in which to

j ivjye the insects and set them to breed
Fig again
In January, 1893, infested peach twigs
vo re received from Danville, Ga., on
which living young were crawling
Jm-oly. On Feb. 14, 1899, specimens
a-,-ero received at this office from Cairo,
On , and upon examination they were
found to be breeding. On March 8, 1898,
1 inspected an orchard iri South Georgia
nnd found the scale breeding freely on
plum trees. From this almost incessant
bleeding and feeding it can be readily
understood it.it the San Jose scale is
more dangerous in southern climates
than at the north, where the period of
it? destructive work is cut short by the
rohi of winter
Again, the peach trees being more
bus eptible to injuries of any kind than
almost any other-orchard tree, and since
i he peach is the principal fruit growu
in this state, we suffer more from the
ravages of the scale than other states
that grow apples and other (ruffs that
i.re more resistant.
With us peach trees are entirely killed
in two seasons after they are first aT
lacked. On April EO, 1898, I inspected
HU orchard of 1,000 3-year poach trees
tit Pine City, Ga., and after careful
search found only six trees infested
wi:h the San Jose scale. No treatment
was applied to this orchard, and on
Nov. 16 of the f ame year I visited it
again, and found one-tliird of the trees
imtirelt? eras tod over with the scale and
in a dying condition.
In view of these facts, with other
fiimilar cases, wo ninst conclude that
the San Jose scale is much more de
nirnctivo in the southern states than at
the north.—State Entomologist.
Raising “Broom Corn.”
••ftntifn Question. — I have fot decided tfte to grow
c6rn" m.frtflt'.
Tle.ise givo me nil flie infor¬
mation along ibis line possible.
Answ>:r.—T his.plant is a variety of
“sorghum,” and a 'native of the East
Indies. The introduction of this plant
is attributed to Dr. Franklin, who, find¬
ing a seed on n whisk broom that had
been imported, planted it, and from this
originated the culture of “broom corn”
in the United States. Tho average pro¬
duct of brush per acre is about 50d
pounds. There has been produced from
very fine soil and locality as high as

broom corn brush, there is always a (le
maud for it, ami it is a crop that can
easily cultivated. It is a profitable
for the farmers to.raise in those
to which it is well adapted.
Tho seed make very good food
horses ' when mixed with oats. It
nlso fipe food for poultry after
chicks are two or three weeks old,
fed with other food. When
with our common, Indian corn in
portion to three bushels of broom
bcs» where'our native corn grows
and the preparation of the land is
to that for corn. Good river or
bottom land is best suited to this
hut any good land well drained
with barnyard manure, or a g$od
tllizer, make « good yield. The
plan is to broadcast the manure,
and harrow the sant9 so as to
the soil thoroughly. Plant in the
or in hilis. the rows may be
throe to four feet, according to the
riety to be grown; the dwarf
in three feet rows and the larger
ties’in four feet rows. The .hills
be two or three feet apart. When
seed are sound and well-ripened,
quarts will be sufficient to plant
acre. Be sure to get good seed.
can use the seed drills that ^ili
small seed, or if only a few acres are
bo planted, you can plant with
hand. The cultivation is similar to
that of corn, only you have to use
care and skill because of the
of the plant. Thinning should be
when the plants are two or three
high, leaving five or s>x in the hid. or
drilled, the stalks should be left three
four inches apart.
As to the harvesting and curing
the broom com, I will take pleasure

AxswEB.-The .
Jisbeii in Georgia was built on the Oco
nee river, 4 miles beio-.v Athens, in tne
yesr IS37 This enterprise proved sue
ettrtni, Kid war* soon after followed by
many Others in the tame county (Clarke) |
end in Green, Richmond and other coun
ties From small beginnings these en- |
terprises have in late years developed to I
considerable magnitude, and with a pe¬
cuniary success that points to them as
agents of a most prosperous era m the
history cf our state. The spteudid wa¬
fer powers of the Savannah at Augusta,
and tiie Chattahoochee at Columbus,
could not long fail to attract the atten¬
tion of a people alive to their own inter¬
est and to the general welfare. Georgia
has great advantages in this respect
over the New England states, which
have heretofore manufactured most of
the American cotton and wool fabrics,
j but the dawn of a brighter day has capital set
, In, and we see from year to year
coming this way to our beautiful south
land. Manufacturers are how convinced
‘that ■ the place to manufacture cotton
is on the ground floor where the cotton
is grown arid produced, and sooner or
later, the whir of the cotton spindle
will be heard from the top of every monn
tain, as well as from every valley in our
beautiful Empire state of the south.
Here, wo huve no need of the middle
man or transportation Wages are much
less here than in the New England
states, the cost of water and steam
power is less, building material of every
kind is less, living expenses are less and
thecliniate is more favorable. The wheels
are seldom clogged or obstructed by ice,
tiio consumers of our products are at our
own doors,and for these reasons alone the
manufacturer of cotton must and will
come southward. There is still room
for greater strides along this line than
Georgia has made in the past, and
yet she has done well.
Just how many organized cotton mills
there are now in operation, we are un¬
able to say, but more than a decade ago
we bad more than 50. We also have
many wool factories, paper factories,
iron foundries, flour mills, gold quartz
mills and stamp mills in operation, and
railri ad shops, locomotive and car fac
tcries, carriage and wagon, boot and
S } J0C factories, and sash and blind facto
ries, we have in large number. We
have tanneries, potterios, liquor and tur
pentine distilleries and fertilizer facto
vies also without number.—State Agri
cultural Department.
Spraying For the Pest.
Question. —Owing to the continued
rains, I have been unable to spray a sin
glo tree since Christmas. How late can
I spray for the San Joso scale, and must
fftfe pot tfvnt of oil ba diminished as the
buds advance?
Answer.—T wenty-five per cent of
kereoseno is the strength to be used
against tlio San Jose scale during the
dormant period, and this can be used in
the spring until the fruit buds begin to
opou. In the spring when the tree be¬
gins to grow it is even in better condi¬
tion to resist the ill effects of the Uereo
sene. It is invigorated and enabled to
throw off the oil that might penetrate'
the bark. It is not safe, however, to
spray with any per cent while the trees

Gottorn Seed
Fi°ae B
Anyone who sends one dollar
for a year’s subscription to the
Atlanta Semi-Weekly Journal
can get postpaid one pound of the
celebrated African Limbless Cot
ton Seed without charge.
A pound of these seed will
plant one-fifth of an acre, and
with proper attention should
yield enough to plant a crop.
The seed were tested in a list
of thirty varieties by the Georgia
Experiment Station and a bul
letin recently issued by Director
Redding shows that the African
Limbless Cotton produced 70
p.ounds more per acre than any
other variety, and 161 pounds
more per acre than the average
of thirty' leading varieties.
The African Limbless Cotton
produced 780 pounds of lint per
acre, which is nearly four times
the average on the farms of the
South. This shows what high
fertilization and thorough cult
ure will do with these excellent
Seed. The value of the product,
counting cotton at 5 cents and
seed at 13 cents a bushel, was
over $45 per acre. The cost of
fertilizers used was $4.77 per acre.
The Journal does not guarantee
results, but the result of the test
at the Experiment Station makes
it worth a farmer’s while to test
tho. «d -vhc he can C ct .hem
for nothing.
The Journal brings you the
Nkws of the Woki * d Twicb a
Webk, with hundreds of articles
of special interest about the farm,
the household, juvenile topics,
etc, and every Southern farmer
should have the paper.
You don’t have to wait a week
for the news, but get it twice as
often as you do in the weeklies,
which charge the same price.
