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.

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. Gumdrno Ousts Potato As Stopper for Cans COLUMBUS.

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.
