PREPARING NEW FIGHT ON FRUIT TREE PEST The Atlanta Journal News Bureau, 623 Riggs Building.) BY TKIIODORE TXX.I.ER WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 2.—The United States department of agricul ture is employing new methods in combatting the peach Insect pest, \which it estimates caused a loss of perhaps $2.000.000 in Georgia this year. The 1920 season, the depart ment says, was particularly fuvor ;U»le to circulio or pest development And the resultant loss was quite heavy. At the present time, the de partment explains, defensive meas ures are largely spraying during the spring and early summer. This method of control, generally used by peach growers, has heretofore result ed in a fair degree of protection to the crop. The combination of unusual cir culio abundance and hot and rainy weather has greatly lessened the ef ficacy of the control measures in vogue, and the bureau of entomology is conducting experiments to deter mine the possibility of wholesale de struction of the beetles in orchards by thorough spraying and dusting of the trees in the fall. It is expected that preliminary results from this work will soon be available, from which it will be possible to decide what value, if any, this method may have. New methods of combating the plum circulio, which has been raising havoc with the southern peach crop, are occupying the at tention of the bureau of entomology. This beetle, which attacks not only he young fruit shortly after it has set, but also fruit as it is nearly ripe on the trees, lays its eggs under the skin, the resulting grubs eating their way into the heart of the fruit. The life of an individual adult cir culio may be nearly one year, and the beetles thus continue feeding on the leaves of the peach until hiber nation late in the fall and two or three months after the fruit has beefl harvested. Spalding Farmers Planning to Hold Cotton Off Market GRIFFIN. Ga., Oct. 4. —About 75 to 100 of Spalding county’s representa-' tive farmers met at the county court house Saturday to discuss plans for the holding of the present cotton crop and of combatting the low price of fered. Paul Flynt, •who is chairman of the Spalding county branch of the American Cotton association, presid ed and stated the object of the meet ing. Resolutions of the American Cotton association officers’ meeting held in Atlanta were read and dis cussed. These resolutions stated that the cost of present crop per pound was from 38 cents to 40 cents; that the farmers were offered only 23 cents per pound and urged upon the farmers the necessity of holding the present crop for at least 40 cents pei pound. „ Dr. J. H. Phillips, A. P. Patterson, .Tack Walker, Paul Flynt, G. S. B. Grant, T. W. Futral, and others, ad dressed the meeting. These men stressed the Importance of holding at least 75 per cent of this year’s crop off the market for at least ninety da>‘s. The low price of cotton ajid the ravages of the boll weevil, which has destroyed at least 40 per cent of the crop, is going tp hit the farmers of this county hard, it was pointed out, Unless they can realize something like 40 cents per pound, it Xvill have been raised at a loss of sls to S2O per bale. They called upon the mer chants. bankers, manufacturers, and all other classes of citizens to lend their moral aid to the movement, dis claiming any intention of crippling any industrj- or enterprise, but acting only in the interest of self preserva- The meeting finally adjourned with out takipg any definite action or adopting any specific plan, to meet again Monday morning at the same place. There is no doubt that senti ment among those present and throughout the county was Strom, against selling at the present Price, and that the bulk of this crop will be kept off the market in this county.

Colo.i z A Making Farmers Out of Soldiers Is What Uncle Sam’s New Policy In the Army Is Doing for America - s <jt O' jl w iW HI Bl - ; v S' BY HAL M. CO CUBAN (Special Correspondent. of The Tri weekly Journal.) CAM PGRANT, Hl.—Secretary of War Baker recently visited the Re search and Development Service schols of the American army here at Camp Grant. Brigadier General George Bell, Jr., commanding officer at the camp, took Baker “round thk place” and showed him soldiers at work in almost every branch of busi ness there is. But where do you suppose Briga dier General Bell finally ended up the trip, and then spent as much time at this one branch as he had in all the others? Right down on the farm! And it was a government farm, at that. “Back to the ram” The old ”back-to-the-farm” cry is the slogan of one of the branches of the Research and Development Service of the United States army. Hundreds of enlisted soldiers have answered the call and taken up the agricultural course of the new “build ers of men” training system Uncle Sam has adapted for peace time. If you ever visit Camp Gyant and want to find Brigadier General Bell, and he’s not at headquarters or at his home, run down to the farm. That place is his hobby! The army farm is at one end of Camp Grant and it covers 400 acres of rich land. Enlisted men are working this land and, when they step back Into civil life, they will know all there is to know about raising crops and tending cattle. Military Orders Off « There is no indication of regular army life present on the farm with the exception of- khaki uniforms worn. Even are absent in the dairy and plowing branches, where the soldiers wear white suits and overalls. They are farming, not get ting military training. It’s regular farm life fro mevery angle. Small grains, corn and forage crops are grown ort twenty-acre plots. These foodstuffs are sold to the camp mess halls at a lower figure than the market price. A mule barn, sheep shed, poultry bouse, hog house, stock judging (pa vilion, dairy barn and implement sheds have been erected. All types of farm machinery are used and stu dents are Instructed in the use of each. A prize herd of cattle that would make a county fair envious is part of the farm equipment. If a soldier, after training on Uncle Sam’s farm, can’t tell the difference between a Jersey, a Guernsey, a Holstein, a Short Horn and an Aberdeen-Angus, it’s his own fault. Trained Teachers In the hog, sheep and poultry fie | partments, only the best breeds are : kept. Dean C. B. Waldron, formerly of the North Dakota Agricultural col lege, heads the farm branch faculty. C. H. Pollock, of North Dakota and Cornell, is farm manager, and R. L. Leech, formerly of the University of Illinois, is in charge of stock rais ing. “We are teaching soldiers how to become real farmers—how to grow ctops anti raise stock,” says Dean Waldron. “That is our reply to. those who said the army took boys off the farm.”, Unpopular Skunk Is Real Friend of Farmer Few persons have seriously con sidered establishing friendly rela tions with a skunk. It has been done income cases under the .misap prehension that the animal was a cat, and the results have been un pleasant. But the Biological Survey of the United States Department of Agriculture has Investigated the skunk and found him to be the best wild-animal friend the farmer has. • Almost any farmer might have two or three dozen skunks at work for him destroying mice, grasshop pers, cyickets, and white grubs, and furnishing him from SSO to SIOO worth of fur a year. All that is necessary is that he respect their dens, keep his poultry in skunkproof yards, kill an old horse for them every fall, and be tactful when he meets them in the evening. There is a marked depression of the fur market at present, but recovery to normal is anticipated. It has been estimated that a year’s catch of skunks in New York I state is worth $1,000,000. Only one ! fifth of them are black or short striped. If all were of this higher grade, they would be worth $3,000,- 000. The department suggests that a preserve stocked with black skunks would eventually double or treble the catch of skunks in the territory surrounding it. ’ Crisp County Fair Oct. 25 to Nov. 1 ' CORDELE, Ga.. Oct. 2.—Crisp ) county fair will hold its annual ex i hibltion October 25 to November 1. I. G. Williams will be in charge of the live stock exhibit and will pro vide competent judgex and report all awards to the fair secretary. The poultry exhibit will be under ' a special tent and in charge of F. . S. Dorsey. The canning club and poultry clubs <!f the county are shaping their ex hibits under the direction of Miss Lou Hamilton, home demonstration agent. The nig clubs are busy and have many attractive exhibits. Dem onstration Agent C. B. Culpepper, as ■ sisted by A. J. Clary, have charge of : these. 1920 Flax Crop I In 1920, 6,000 acres of flax were cultivated in the United States, as ' against 5,000 acres in 1919, the United States Department of Agri culture estimates. Wisconsin, Min | nesota, Michigan, and the William ! ette Valley of Oregon lead in pro i duction. The 1920 crop is valued at $1,600,000. Raising Wild Ducks Wild ducks can be successfully propagated in many marshy locali ties. The United States Department of Agriculture has issued a new cir cular telling the most practicable breeds and how to handle them. A big army farm, embodying the best in modern agriculture, is part of the vocational training course at Camp Grant, 111. The pho tographs show Secretary of War Baker and Brigadier General Bell inspecting a pen of pedigreed pigs. Below are some farmer-soldiers at work. / ‘Cotton Day’ Was Success Throughout the Entire Belt, Haruie Jordan Reports The Tri-Weekly Journal is in re ceipt of the following report of the observance of “cotton day” from Harvie Jordon, secretary of the Atnerican Cotton association: “September 20 vva« the day set apart by the American cotton as sociation for ‘cotton day’) to be ob served by the people in all the coun ties and parishes of the cotton belt. The purpose ,of the me«rtlngs was to secure indorsement and pledges for loyally standing by the association’s recommendation for holding cotton for forty cents per pound, basis mid dling, this season, and to indorse plans for increasing food and feed crops as adopted at the cotton con ference held at Montgomery, Sep tember 1-3. “With but two exceptions, the gov ernors of every cotton state prompt ly complied with the request of the association, and issued sivong procla mations for cott6n day. From press dispatches, newspaper clippings and official reports from the various state divisions it is apparent tnat ‘cotton day’ was observed by large ans! en thusiastic meetings in practically all of the cotton-growing counties. Meet ings were held in every county in South Carolina, several hundred farmers, bankers and Merchants at tending each meeting and enthusias tically indorsing all the plans pre sented by the association. The re ports submitted on the condition of the crop generally indicated a short- Calhoun County, S. C., Joins Move to Found Export Cotton Firm At the enthusiastic meeting held on Cotton day, Calhoun county, South Carolina, not only unanimous ly indorsed the formation of an ex port corporation, accepting cotton in 'payment of stock, as recommended by Governor W. P. G. Harding of the Federal Reserve board, but in addition to this it urged that the incorporation committee of the ex port corporation when it meets on September 29 should arrange to ac cept not only cotton in payment of stock, but also accept cash and lib erty loan bonds in payment of same. A special committee was appointed to canvass for stock in the export corporation in Calhoun county and this committee in a few hours raised $60,000 in cotton and $3,000 in cash. This amount will be largely increased. Calhoun county is thor oughly alive to the tremendous bene fits to be secured by the organiza tion of the export corporation. It realizes that this will furnish a mar ket at profitable prices for not only low grade cotton, which cannot be sold, but also for good grades, which can only be sold at a price far be low the' cost of production; that in addition to this it will furnish not only a temporary relief but a per manent beneficial relief of great magnitude. The export corporation will place the machinery of the marketing of raw cotton into for eign countries for the first time in the hands of the south, and will ab solutely revolutionize the raw cot ton industry. Demonstration Agents Aid in Marketing Work of exceptional value to farmers has beers done by various county agents in connection with the organization of live-stock ship ping associations and livestock auc tion sales. The shipping associations have been especially successful in Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Oregon, as well as in several states in the south. The livestock auction sales have been developed in Cali fornia on an Australian model which was introduced by a county agent who had been engaged, in agricul tural extension work in New South Wales. The value of the stock mar keted through these auction sales la California amounted to $1,790,330 and increased returns to the farm ers by $166,946 over prices which the stock would have brought had the auction sales not been held. Killing Sheep Parasites Treating sheep for parasites saved one Monongahela County (W. Va.) farmer SSOO this year, the United States department of agriculture is advised. During a two-weeks’ period the farm bureau of Roane county. W. Va., had more than 709 Ifead o e sheep treated for parasites without fatalities. age of from 10 to 33 per cent be low the August expectations. It was the general consensus of opinion to sell no cotton at present prices ex cept to meet pressing obligations, and then to sell only the off>grades and finance the better grades in stor age. "In Georgia mass meetings were h£ld in fully one hundred counties. County organizations were perfect ed in many cases and plans started to establish local co-operative mar keting associations. Alabama came to the front equally as strong as Georgia, while most encouraging re ports as to county meetings have been received from all the states. Parish meetings will be held all over Louisiana on the twenty-fifth to celebrate ‘cotton day’ and ceement in stronger ferms the splendid organi zation work already done in that state. On no occasion in the past have so general and widespread county meet ings been held oq a single date and so largely and enthusiastically at tended by the people. It is conserva tively estimated that fully 500,000 cotton growers assembled in county mass meetings throughout the cot ton belt on September 20, and pledg ed allegiance to the American Cot ton association, and the plans it has promulgated in the interest of the growers. The success of ‘cotton day’ this year fixes it as a day of annual celebration through all the years to come.” Loss of $2,000,000 in Georgia This Year by* Peach Pest Is Reported The season of 1920 was particu larly favorable to curculio develop ment, and the loss to Georgia peach growers has been quite heavy, amounting perhaps to as much as $2,000,000, the federal department of agriculture figures. At the present time defensive measures are largely spraying during the spring and early summer. This method of control, generally 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 übreau 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 pre liminary results from this work will soon be available and from which it will be possible to decide what value, if any, this method may have. New methods of bombating the plum curculio, which has been rais ing havoc with the southern peach crop, are occupying the attention of the bureau of entomology. United States department of agriculture. This beetle, which attacks not only the young fruit as it is nearly ripe on the "trees, lays its eggs under the skin, the resulting grubs eating their way into the heart Os the fruit. The life of an individual adult curculio may be nearly one year, and the beetles thus continue feeding on the leaves of the peach until hibernation late in the fall and two or three months aftUr the fruit has been har vest e d. Gwinnett County Fair Draws Crowds From All Parts of County LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga„ Oct. 5. The Gwinnett County fair closed a most successful week Saturday night at midnight. The fair opened Tues day, Sept. 28, and while the weather was cold and windy for two days, the attendance was good all along. On Saturday, day and night, the grounds were simply overflowing with people from all sections of th* county. The exhibits were unusually good, and the big show’s midway was thronged with a happy crowd out for a good time. This year all -wheels of chance and games of skill and immoral shows were kepY off the midway and nothing was seen that even the clergy could not visit with approval. The war department had a wire less outfit at the fair and also # motor searchlight. The searchlight was used very effectively at night, and people for twenty-five miles af-ound observed the light as it was flashed across the heavens. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1920. BETTER SYSTEM • OF MARKETING SAVES MILLIONS Five and a half millions dollars. That is the amount of savings and in creased profits estimated to have been secured by producers through the assistance of the United States bureau of markets’ field representa tive in marketing, working in co operation with state marketing agencies in eleven states during the year ended June 30, 1920. This fig ure is made up of hundreds of Indi vidual items of sayings and addi tion profits estimated by growers, shippers and marketing agencies concerned and reported to the United bureau of markets. State co-operative work in mar keting is carried on by the United States department of agriculture in thirty-one states, but information re garding the total savings effected in all of them is not yet available. Improvement in methods of mar keting and distributing farm products is the object of this marketing work. Investigations of grading, packing, loading, shipping and marketing are made and visual demonstrations given producers to familiarize them with the best marketing methods. Thus, some 200 denominations of ap proved practices of preparing farm products for market and over 700 talks relative to, packing, grading, handling, storing and selling farm products and the formation of as sc ciations for co-operative activity were given. In one state alone two co-operative live stock shipping as sociations, with a membership of 3,030 shippers, were formed, and an estimated saving of $73,548 secured through the co-operative shipping of 333 cars of cattle, hogs and sheep from thirty-nine counties. Aid Marketing Organizations While complete figures are not available, those at hand show that the field men were instrumental in the formation of 183 marketing or ganizations, including fifty live stock shipping associations and fifty-seven fruit or vegetable associations. They also assisted in the organization of twelve credit unions and federations of existing associations, most of which are state-wide >.i scope. One hundred and sixty-six wool pools, handling over 10,000,000 pounds of wool were given assist ance in organization and grading. In a number of states the field men, through state agencies, secured the adoption of federal standards for farm products and containers. One hundred and thirty-eight groups of producers were assisted in making co-cperatlve sales. One sale included 417 head of cattle, which sold for $2.- 508.97 above the prices quoted by local buyers on the day of sale. Instruction in the marketing of sweet potatoes was given producers and shippers in the Southern stares. Tn one state plans and specifications for 39 sweet potato storage houses were furnished and in another state 53 storage houses constructed from plans furnished by the United States bureau of markets. A sweet potato exhibit car was arranged and moved 1.100 miles over four railroads touch ing 31 points in the sweet potato producing sections. The exhibit in cluded a miniature model storage house, working plans and specifica tion'- for storage houses, pictures, charts and slides showing approved methods of production, harvesting, storing, grading and packing. Demonstrates Approved Methods Exhibits illustrating approved marketing practices were conducted in six states. In most instances these exhibits were in connection with state or district fairs or at expositions of more than state im portance. Colorado’s potato ship ments run from 9,000 to 13,500 cars a year. Os this quantity, 40 per cent is moved during the winter months when there is great danger of frost damage in transit. To stim ulate interest among Colorado potato growers and shippers in better mar keting conditions, an exhibit of a full-sized freight car was produced in the Denver auditorium at the western potato show this year to show by actual demonstrating proper methods of lining and loading cars of potatoes to prevent loss from freezing in transit, and of sewing sacks to prevent loss of potatoes slipping through the tops of sacks.

Twenty-five short instruction courses relative to various phases of marketing were given in six states. In one state a course of lectures cov ering 12 weeks was given in a school of commerce. Co-operative enter prises in three states were given as sistance in accounting problems. The collection and dissemination of- infor mation relative to quantity, quality and price of local produce offered for sale was arranged for at 11 points in 4 states. z*. The United States bureau of mar kets’ report of the work of its field agents in marketing shows that the accomplishments were greater in number and of more value to pro ducers and consumers during the year ended June 30, 1920, than in any previous year. It is fe*t that wofK jl this character should make possible the development of a con sistent national policy in improving marketing methods. American Hemp American farmers planted 14,d00 actes to hemp in 1920, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. The crop is valued at about $1,500,000.
