AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION
BY DR. ANDREW M. SOULE
The Pecan Case-Bearer
Up to the present time our pecan
orchards have not been seriously at
tacked by many insect pests. It
would appear, though, that as this
industry grows older those cultivat
ing trees of this character will find
it necessary to fight insect pests
systematically. One of the insects
that promises to cause pecan orch
ardists great loss is the pecan case
bearer. A summary of its life his
tory as worked out by experts who
have specialized along entomological
lines is appended below. All who
have pecan trees should read this
statement very carefully and take
such steps as’may be necessary to
protect their trees. These state
ments also coincide with the ob
servations and recorded experience
of Mr. J. William Firor, who made
a special study of this insect.
It is advised by experts that the
best method of fighting the pecan
case-bearer is to spray the trees
in the latter part of August and
September with arsenate of lead
prepared in the following propor
tions: Take one pound of arsenate
of lead, two pounds of unslaked lime
and fifty gallons of water. Mix the
arsenate of lead with a small quant
ity of water and stir and pour in
the fifty gallons of water. Next,
shake the lime and strain into the
water and arsenate of lead already
mixed. Keep thoroughly agitated and
apply so that some of the solution
will reach every leaf.
This insect does its most serious
damage in the spring. At that time
the larvae feed upon the buds as
they begin to swell and open. When
the insects are as numerous as
they have been during the past few
seasons, by the time the trees should
be in full foliage, the damage Is
sufficient to make the leave look
ragged or “moth eaten.” Pecans
bear their nuts on the season’s
growth; that is, the shoot that bears
the cluster of pecans grows the same
year that the nut matures. The de
struction in the spring of a small
fruit bearing bud, therefore, means
the cutting off of a cluster of nuts.
Where the case-bearer is prevalent
many clusters are thus destroyed.
The trees apparently gradually
recover from the effects by* calling
upon reserve buds to come into
foliage and by the middle of May
give the appearance of not having
been damaged at all. These reserve
buds, however, are not nut produc
ing. Thus the most serious damage
of the case-bearers Is to the pro
ductivity of the trees. During the
latter part of the summer they feed
on the leaves. This lessens the
vigor and growing power of the
tree.
There are four stages In the life
of the case-bearer; egg, larva, pupa
and adult. Moths lay the eggs on
the leaves during May, June, July
and probably August and September;
The eggs hatch Into very small
worms which immediately begin to
feed on the leaves, eating holes in
to them. Since, therefore, the
larvae, or worms, feed on the leaves
between the last of June and frost,
it would seem possible to destroy
them by spraying sometime during
that period with arsenate of lead.
Experiments havfe proven this pos
sible. Spraying should be early and
so timed as to get most of the in
sects that are going to come .out.
It has been found by experiments
that the time for making this one
application is the last of August
or the first of September.
A few days before frost the
worms which have been feeding on
the leaves build cases to» cover their
soft bodies and each settles close to
a dormant bud for the winter. From •

T. W. WOOD & SONS, Seedsmen,
Richmond, - - - Virginia.
I frost until the buds begin to swell
in the spring the case-covered lar
vae remain nestled close to dor
mant buds almost of the same color
as the buds, very small in size,
consequently, difficult to discover
by man or natural enemies.
No method of killing the insects
during the hibernating season has
been discovered. However, it is
likely that experiments will be made
to discover solutions that will kill
them at such times. The lime-sul
phur solution, ’which is used against
the San Jose scale, or one of the
miscible oils, might do the work.
But growers should be cautious about
these materials until careful experi
ments have been made. It is ex
pensive to spray pecan trees, and
i until the effectiveness of any material
iis accurately determined, it is bet
| ter to stick to arsenate of lead
I sprayings. If the grower wishes
to make such experiments, It would
be advisable to do it on a small
scale. If four trees are sprayed,
four trees of the same variety must
be left unsprayed so that the merits
of the work can be determined. The
reason for taking trees of the same
variety is that the case-bearer works
with varying severity on different
varieties.
At the opening of spring the larvae
are very small, althoug-h they have
lived half of the previous summer
and all winter. But they begin feed
ing in the spring previously and
grow rapidly. Young, tender bud close
beside which they hibernated fur
nishes abundant food without incur
ring dangers of travel. Spraying
with poison at this stage has not
proven effective. This is due, no
doubt, to the location of the larvae,
their protective case and the pro
tection afforded by the rapid growth
of the unfolding bpds. If the spray
ing is made just as the buds unfold,
in a very few days the portions cov
ered with the spray are left behind
on the rapidly growing foliage, and
the chances are that only a very
small percentage of the worms would
feed on the sprayed portion. On the
other hand, if the spraying is de
layed until the foliage has had time
to fully develop, the damage has
been done and the larvae have gone
into the pupa stage.
After the larvae have reached ma
turity, they prepare to pass into the
pupa stage. The worms spin a silken
cocoon, which is attached to a fold
ed leaf or to the twig from which
the larvae had eaten the buds. This
cocoon is about one inch long and
can easily be located. By pinching
off the end of the cocoon, the pupa
can be seen in his resting quarters.
From these cocoons the adult moths
emerge. Natural enemies kill some
of these case-bearers when they are
in the pupal stage, but so far this
destruction has not been sufficient
to be of value. As stated, the moth
emerges from the cocoon during
June and July and probably a few
hold over until August and Septem
ber. Spraying will not kill these
pupae as they do not feed and are
difficult to get at with any con
tact insecticide.
The adult of the case-bearer is a
moth which emerges from the cocoon
and performs the important task of
laying eggs. The moths, as such,
are nos injurious, but their import
ance comes from laying eggs which
hatch into destructive worms, or
larvae. There is no known method
of fighting moths directly. It seems
that birds gather a good many for
food. Around towns where there are
very few pecan,trees it may be pos
sible that birds will keep them in
check. In the commercial sections,
however, there are not sufficient birds
to do this.
The pecan grower who has ten
acres or more of bearing trees will
find it advisable to have a power
outfit. In selecting power equipment,
the following points are of value:
1 — A tank that will hold a large
quantity of water. A 200-gallon tank
seems to be about the right size. It
should be equipped with an agitator.
2 The pump should be of simple
construction so that all parts can
be easily gotten to.
3 The engine is the most trouble
some part of the outfit to get
to do its work properly and con
stantly. Some of the points to be
desired in a gasoline engine for a
power outfit are: Power to give a
constant pressure of 200 pounds with
some reserve power left; ability to
stand hauling about the orchard
without getting out of adjustment;
and construction on simple lines.
4 Tank, pump, engine, wagon and
a quantity of accessories are re
quired. At least two leads of hose
will be needed for each power outfit.
The length of these will be deter
mined by the size of the tree to be
sprayed. If the trees are twenty-five
feet high each lead will need ‘to be
about forty feet long. Cut-offs and
extension rods are necessary. The
cut-off is fitted into the extension just
where the hose connects with the ex
tension rod.
slf spray guns are used trees
thirty feet high can be sprayed from
the ground. Spray guns require over
200 pounds of pressure. The nozzles
must convert the flowing stream into
a spreading mist. A. good style of
nozzle is a simple disk.
6 Another part of the outfit that
is important is the pressure gage. To
regulate the pressure, a valve is used
in the return pipe. As the pump
draws the material from the tank, all
that does not pass through the noz
zles returns to the tank. This regu
lator is doing good work when it can
be set so as to give the same pres
sure whether the nozzles are working
or cut off.
For a few trees or a young or
chard, a barrel spray pump will give
good results if sufficient hand power
is furnished and the operation is
carried on slowly and thoroughly.
There are many power sprayers and
barrel pumps on the market.
Protecting Beans from Weevils
P. B. P., Quitman, Ga., writes:
I have several bushels of dried
running beans in the hulls and I
wish information as to the care
of them to prevent bugs and
weevils from eating them up. Is
it better to shell them or leave
them In the hulls?
The best method of protecting the
beans you have gathered against in
festation by the granary weevil is to
proceed as follows:
Shell them as quickly as possible
and put them into relatively air-tight
containers. Large fruit Jars will an
swer for this purpose very well.
Then treat them with carbon bisul
phide. You can secure a small quan
tity of this material from a drug
store. You will only need to use it
at the rate of about two pounds psr
ton of beans to be treated. You will
see, therefore, that a relatively small
amount will answer for the effective
treatment of each jar of beans. Put
the carbon bisulphide in a little, shal
low dish like a patty pan. Cover
the top of the jar loosely. The car
bon bisulphide will immediately
evaporate, and, being heavier than
air, -will penetrate rapidly ato every
pant of the container. It will ef
fectively kill but all weevils. You
will need to repeat this treatment in
about 30 days so as to destroy any
weevils which may hatch later. If
you expose the beans to the air for
a few hours, the offensive odor will
disappear and they will be found per
fectly good and wholesome to use as
food. I should not prolong the treat
ment suggested for a period of more
than twenty-four to thirty-six hours.
Carbon bisulphide will not injure the
clothes or burn the hands. It is eas
ily inflammable in the presence of
light, so handle it in the day time
and out of doors.
righting’ the Army Worm
T. W. R., Vienna, Ga., writes:
My corn and cane are getting
full of worms and I do not know
jusit what kind of worm It is.
Please tell me what to use and
how to use it.
Presumably, your corn and cane
ields have been attacked by the
rmy worm. In the event this is
rue, take a quantity of calcium ar
enate and put into two gunny sacks.
Attach these to a stick of sufficient
engt'h to enable ■ you to dust two
ows at a time from the back of tne
nule. This treatment will prove
luite effective, and is simply and ef
fectively done. You can of course,
.ise either Paris green or arsenate of
lead. One pound of the poison should
be mixed with twenty pounds
of slaked lime. The spraying may
be done with a hand or power ma
chine. Another means of fighting
this pest is by plowing deep, wide
furrows at certain convenient points
in the field. The worms in traveling
from one section of the field to an-,
other fall into the furrows and may
thus be destroyed by throwing straw
over them and burning it.
You will find the use of dry appli
cations of poison much simpler and
less costly than the use of wet solu
tions. Prompt action should enable
you to control the spread of this pest
effectively. If it is left unchecked,
however, it may destroy your crop
as it is a ravenous feeder.
Cultivation of Chinese Cabbage
C. S. M., Waycross., Ga.
writes: I want to plant an acre
to Chinese cabbage this summer
or fall for greens. I have 1,000
pounds of hen manure mixed
with some soil. How would you
advise using this? What do you
think about using pulverized
sheep manure in the drill?
The Chinese cabbage, Pe Tsai, is a
rather new crop to most of our peo
ple. It seems to have established it
self in the favor of our housewives,
however, and its cultivation is now
assuming extensive proportions not
only in Florida, but in Michigan and
California as well. This plant dif
fers in its manner of growth from
the ordinary cabbage in that it is
rather tall and narow and develops
very much like celery. In other
words, it does not produce the typi
cal round or flat head of the ordinary
cabbage. It is a strong, vigorous
growing plant and does best in cool
rather than warm weather. It may
be grown as a spring or fall crop.
So far as we know it is as hardy as
the average cabbage.
One wishing to try this crop
should In our judgment sow the seed
about the first of August and trans
plant them to the field whenever a
favorable season can be secured in
the ground. September the first
should prove a satisfactory date for
transplanting. Set this crop In two
and one-half foot rows and leave the
plants about eighteen inches apart
in the drill.
There is no reason why you should
not use hen manure as a source of
fertilizer. Scatter it over the surface
of the ground and mix well with the
soil, in addition use a formula con
taining 4 per cent nitrogen, 8 per
cent phosphoric acid and 3 to. 4 per
cent potash at the rate of six to
eight hundred pounds per acre. The
commercial fertilizer should also be
mixed with the soil before the cab
bages are set out. The Chinese cab
bage apparently out-yield the ordi
nary cultivated sorts materially and
are recommended highly as a source
of green food for poultry. You could,
of course, use pulverized sheep ma
nure for the purpose you indicate.
Our Idea would be to leave three
watermelon vines to the hill when
growing them under the conditions
outlined in your letter.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Here comes
a Georgia sport. I have been reading Aunt
Julia’s Letter Box ever since It started and
I sure do like it.
I live on a farm of about 200 acres and
I like farm life fine. Who has my birth
day? I will be sweet sixteen next March
the 9th. I would like to correspond with
some of you good looking girls. I will an
swer all letters received. Hope to see this
in print. I will close as I hear Mr. W. B.
coming.
Your new cousin.
HARDY SKINNER,
Perkins, Ga., R. F. D. No. 1.
Dearest Aunt Julia:
Will you admit a Southwestern Alabama
girl into your happy circle? I live iu
the pine belt. Most people around make
their living at public wood, working at the
sawmill or running turpentine, but there
are still a good many with farms. We
live on a farm and I like farm life lust
fine.
I suppose Aunt Julia and all the Cousins
like flowers. I do for one. We have
some beautiful ones. I wish I could give
every one of you a bouquet of them.
I am sending 10 cents for the French
baby.
Your Niece and Cousins.

Mllby, Ala., R. F. D., Box 2.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins:
Guess you Cousins are wondering what
has become of a certain little boy near
Perkins, Ga., who won the second prize
on the theme “George Washington.” Guejs
you think I was just writing for money,
but I have been wanting to write to the
Letter Box a long time, but just haven’t
taken time.
I think Aunt Julia’s Letter Box is one
of the grandest things that ever happened
for the boys and girls of the south.
Who has my birthday? I will be six
teen June 10th.
If some of you good-looking girls want
OUR HOUSEHOLD
CONDUCTED BY LIZZIE O.THOMAS
Are Ton Helping or Hindering?
Th© Farmer and Yours Truly re
newed their youth last week. We at
tended the short course for the boys
and girls’ pig and canning clubs, and
I assure you I’ve never spent two
pleasanter days.
There were slxty-five girls pres
ent and fifteen boys. The homes of
Tuscumbia entertained the visitors,
and the state of Alabama sent the
teachers. Many of you belong to
such clubs, or you should, so I am
not going to tell you the program, I
am only going to tell you that if you
miss even one meeting you are los
ing something. I feel very sorry for
the boys and girls whose parents do
not make it possible for them to
learn all these things. There were
some clubs that had only one or two
representatives while others had
twenty-five, and the largest repre
sentation came from a club that was
eighteen miles from Tuscumbia.
Two trucks brought them, and when
I saw “Rural School Truck” on one
of them I understood why that com
munity ranks so high in all pro
gressive things. They do not com
plain .they do things.
Every school is supposed to have
these clubs, and you are fortunate
if you had a teacher interested in
the practical side of learning and
even more fortunate is the commun
ity made up of parents really inter
ested in their children’s learning the
better ways of hygiene and balanced
diet.
The cows, hogs and chickens these
young people are interested in add
to the health df a home just in pro
portion as they are cared for and
their addition to the table is prop
erly ■ handled. In this short course
there were demonstrations of the
fireless cooker, steam pressure cook
ers, a barrel churn and a canning
outfit.
The girls were taught canning and
the proper method of putting the
produce in the jars.
Why not right now make up your
mind to have a community fair and
make a social event of it? Let the
boys and girls show their pigs and
poultry and canned foods, and any
grown person who wants to can put
in their canned products and receive
honoroble mention, the prizes going
to the young folks. Do not have an
all one neighborhood affair, but let
the news get out that it is open to
all who wish to compete. Then get
some liberal merchants, the banker
and whoever makes a specialty of
pigs, poultry or calves to give prizes.
You will be surprised at the results.
We have a splendid county fair every
year, and some communities send
fine exhibits. It takes a little extra
work, some hard work in hot weather
perhaps, but you -are repaid for it.
The added value to your own experi
ence, to your own products and the
unconscious influence you exert mean
a great deal to the world.
I knew a woman who lived in a
most stolid, self-satisfied community.
There was no co-operation, no ambi
tion, nothing uplifting; for ten years
she did her best. There were little
girls with no home training, snuff
and tobacco seemed as necessary to
to correspond with a good-looking boy, let
your letters fly to

Hello there. Cousins! How are you?
I hope you're not like me, so blue.
But what's the use to have the blues?
I can be happy if I but choose.
11.
And when the world’s so bright and gay,
And children are out playing.
If you sit around and frown all erajr
The blues will just keep staying.
111.
Just throw aside that magazine
Os yours that you’ve been reading,
And take a cup of morning air
That so long you’ve needed.
IV ...
And you will feel much better,
I’m sure you’ll say you do.
I'm sending you this letter
To read when you are blue.
IV.
Now if you think this good advice,
Just let your letters fly
To a boy who sure will treat you nice,
And answer you or try.
VI.
You say you wonder how I look?
My eyes and hair are brown;
My age fifteen, my toes they crook.
I live just out of town.

them as to “mam and pap.” She
made friends of those children and
taught them many things. As they
grew up and went into homes of their
own they did things “like Mrs. Mur
ray,” and today that community is
often quoted because it really leads.
Those children were taught to lead.
No. Mrs. Curiosity, this is not an Ala

I wish that I could get the readers
of this page to learn so pick out
the good things and say to them
selves, “Am I like this; if not, why
not?” and strive with mind and body
to rise and help the others.
Ask yourself this question, “Am I
helping anybody? Do I criticize those
who are trying to help my chil
dren? Is there not some one thing
that I might teach some one? Could
I not at least help the young peo
ple by joining them?”

Horse Wins in Crash
With Auto, Says Suit
How an old-fashioned horse is said
to have carried away first honors in
a head-on crash with a modern auto
mobile is described in a $5,000 dam
age suit filed in Atlanta Wednes
day by L. J. Brumbalow against King
Boynton.
Brumbalow alleges that while he
was sitting in hl's car, where it was
parked on a downtown street, Boyn
ton appeared, driving the horse “at a
high and dangerous rate of speed’’
on the wrong side of the street. The
horse bore down upon the machine,
Biumbalow claims, hurdled the hood
and kicked the windshield to pieces.
Brumbalow was badly cut by flying
glass, he asserts.
Pool Dragged for Boy
Who Swims Out Sewer
BEDFORD, Ind., Aug. s.—De
tected by a watchman swimming in
a forbidden pool, James Marshall,
ten years old, dived.
When he failed to reappear, the
watchman and others dragged three
hours for the body. In the meantime
the parents had been notified and
were frantic with grief.
Returning home, the father and
mother found the lad playing in the
yard.
To elude the watchman he swam
through a large sewer connected with
the pool.
The father had a diplomatic dis
cussion with the budding strategist
in the woodshed.

MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE :
Itolonelygirlsathome
Here comes a girl from South.
Carolina for a little advice. I am’
five feet five Inches high and weigh
131 pounds. Is my weight about,
right for my height? I have black
hair, brown eyes, wear glasses; have
fair complexion, with a few freckles. 1
What colors would suit me best? I
am seventeen years old. Am in the,,
seventh and eighth grade at school.
How is my handwriting I will ap
preciate your advice.
BROWN EYES.
Your weight is sufficient for
your height. I should think you ->
could wear most any shade, if -
your complexion is good. Dark ''
colors are more practical and
are used more now than so
many "off” shades. Blues in »
all shades would become you,
and any color, just so you do
not try to wear but one at a >
time. It is poor taste to wear so
many diferent colors at one time,
and if so, they should harmon- ’’
ize. Your handwriting is very
good.
Will you please tell me how to
remove the brown liver splotches
from my face? It first began on
my lip, but keeps spreading. If pos
sible please answer in next issue of
The Journal, and oblige.
