FARM NOTES
In walking over Mr. Charlie
Hutchins’ pasture with him on
Tuesday of this week he showed
me a good check plot on the re-1
suit of lime and phosphate in his |
pasture. This check plot showed
the result of fertilization and
permanent pastures. It will be
worth any farmers time to go by
and see what a little lime and
phosphate can do to permanent'
pastures. Mr. Hutchins is doing
a good job of improving his
permanent pastures. Some of his ;
pastures are as good as any pas
ture that can be found in the
county. Mr. Hutchins has clean
ed, sowed and fenced in several
acres of new pastures this spring.
He has already used three car
loads of lime on his pasture and
fields this spring. He also used
several carloads last year.
Trion Co., Dr. Hair and Mr. L.
W. Mitchell over at Gore each
sowed several acres of alfalfa last
fall and just passing by and
looking at these alfalfa fields
makes me believe that every
farmer should have a few acres
of alfalfa on his farm for hay.
Alfalfa can be moved three or
four times during a year and if
fertilized each spring with phos
phate, potash and boron it will
do well over a period for six to
ten years.
The following farmers are en
tering this five-acre cotton con
test that is sponsored by the
state this year: W. B. Young.
Menlo; H. D. Dover, Summer
ville; W. W. Cook, Lyerly; How
ard Baker, Gore; C. W. Hutchins.
Chelsea; R. P. Brison, Holland;
Delaney Scoggins, Subligna; W
R. Dempsey, Gore, and Henry
McWhorter, Menlo. The prizes
that are offered for the farmers
that produce the most cotton on
five acres are as follows: State
prize, $500; district prizes, $250
for first prize, $l5O for second
prize and SIOO for third prize.

PROTECT CLOTHES FROM
MOTHS
Spring housecleaning also
means storing winter blankets,
suits and coats. These garments
in storage need moth protection
most because they suffer more
damage than those in frequent
use.
Although no moth-proofing
solution has been developed yet
which gives permanent and ab
solute protection under all cir
cumstances, several have given
real protection to fabrics during,
many years in storage. Among i
the best sprays for killing moths
in woolens, according to homel
management specialists, is a 3
per cent solution of magnesium 1
silicofluoride, a saturated solu
tion of sodium silicofluoride or a
2 per cent solution of DDT in an
oil suspension.
Closets, storage trunks and!
boxes used for storing winter,
clothes and blankets should be |
sprayed with a 10 per cent DDT
solution. Sun and air all gar
ments and blankets to be stored
and spray with the 10 per cent !
DDT before packing.
Solutions containing arsenic
should not be used on clothing, l
blankets and upholstery fabrics ’
; that may come in contact with
the skin. Woolen garments kept
in closets and not packed away
for the summer should be sun
ned frequently, brushed and care
should be taken to keep all the
woolen materials off the floor.
Serious moth infestations often
result from leaving woolen rags
or discarded woolen clothing
carelessly about the house.
DDT moth-proofing solutions
now on the market not only kill
moths by contact, but also leave
an effective residue on fabrics
and on closet walls and floors.
This residue gives future pro
tection from those insects. Flake
' nathalene or paradichloroben-
Izene will keep moths from the
;closed trunks, chests or wooden
I boxes.
Other ways in which clothes
moths may be killed or con
trolled for various lengths of
i time include washing, dry clean
ing, wrapping in paper bundles,
sunning and brushing.
Farm Bureau Notes
You can now buy your freezer
locker certificates at the fallow-'
ing places: Farmers and Mer
chants Bank, Commercial Bank
and at the county agent’s office.'
These certificates will be sold by
individuals in different sections!
of the county. This drive to build'
a freezer locked here in the
county is sponsored by the Coun
ty Farm Bureau and citizens of
Chattooga County are urged to
help us put this drive over and
build a freezer locker to serve
the people of Chattooga County.
The directors of the Fair As
sociation are meeting Thursday
night, April 24, at 8 o’clock in
the county agent’s office to draw
up plans for the building. Any
one interested will be invited to
this meeting, because it is very
important that this building be
constructed so as to give the
best service for our needs here
in the county.
House and Home
Spring is the time to set out
roses if you are an amateur
: grower.
I The first thing to consider is
i your selection of varieties. Be
sure to choose only the varieties
I that are suitable for your cli-
I mate. Time was when the north
-1 ern rose grower who didn’t want
to give his rose bushes winter
protection had to rely on a com
paratively few roses known as
“hardy perpetuals.” Now, thanks
to extensive rose breeding, there
are infinite numbers of hardy
! hybrid tea roses that combine
the everblooming qualities of the
I old tender tea roses with the
hardiness of the June-blooming
types.
Be sure to get good sturdy
stock. That described as “Two
year-old field-grown budded”
stock is reliable.
Before the frost is out of the
ground the beds can be prepared
by covering them with well-rot
ted cows or horse manure, coarse
bone meal, leaf-mold and wood
ashes. As soon as the frost is
gone spade this top-dressing well
into the ground, digging the hole
large and deep. The holes must
ibe large enough to allow the
roots to spread out to their full
[ extent. They must be deep
i enough to insure proper drain
! age. All growers include direc-
■ tions with their shipments. The;
j should be followed as closely a:
possible.
After the bush is put in th(
hole cover the roots well witt
soil and tramp it down firml;
I around them. Fill with loose dirt
' taking care that the bump oi
! the main cane is an inch or tw<
below the final level of the bed
Prune the canes if necessar;
and cover the whole bush will
i earth. Leave for 10 days.
The ground should be regular
■ly cultivated and kept loose oi
j the surface. Roses will stand al
; types of soil—sandy, loamy, o
heavy with clay. Too good drain
i age is controlled by addins
humus. Too heavy clays can bi
; broken up with sand, manures
and again humus, such as pea
moss.
Roses need plenty of food anc
regular applications at the prop
er times of balanced fertilizer:
bring desired results.
If drainage and soil consisten
;cy are good, watering is neces
f sary during protracted dry spells
Roses like plenty of moisture, but
■ they do not like “wet feet.” Fur
| thermore, care should be taker
, when roses are watered not tc
! wet the foliage. Soak the sol
■ around the bush.
Prevention of diseases anc
I pests is the best insurance. Pro
tect the plants by using spray
materials which are proper foi
i the purpose. Many people won
der why they have blackspot on
their rose foliage. Fungus dis
eases require copper of sulphur
applications. These are available
to use either as a spray or a dust,
with full directions on the pack
ages. Aphids and insects are
I controlled by the use of sprays
I containing nicotine, arsenate of
■ lead, pyrethrum and rotenone.
There are several all-purpose
I sprays available, easy to use and
1 effective. But unless you use an
i all-purpose spray, don’t expect a
nicotine or pyrethrum spray to
control blackspot or a copper or
sulphur spray to control insect
pests.
