AMERICAN FARMER PATRIOTIC
PROVIOES SUPPLIES AND MONEY
Few will question the patriotism of
the American farmer.
If there is any man in whom the love
of home, the love of liberty, and the
love of independence is thoroughly
grounded, it is the American farmer.
Naturally, therefore, he Is the one
man more than any other, who will
stand firmly behind his Government
in making the world safe for Democ
racy.
The farmer is doing, and will con.
tinue to do, all in his power in the
matter of the production of food 3 to
support our people at home, our boys
in the trenches and our allies.
But it is as necessary to finance lib
erty as it is to fight for it, or to feed
those who fight.
Because all of this is true and be
cause he can afford it on account of
the prices he is receiving for his prod
ucts, the farmer should be one of the
most eager purchasers of Liberty
Bonds.
He should be willing and glad to
share a part of his profits in support
of his government in the prosecution
of the war.
FALL SPRAYING AGAINST SCALE
URGED BY ENTOMOLOGY BOARD
Atlanta, October.—(Special.)—Get
ready for fall spraying of Peach and
Apple trees for the control of (he Ban
Jose scale and other pests which yield
to the same treatment, is the urgent
advice of the Georgia State Board of
Entomology.
This spraying should be done with
the well known lime-sulphur solution,
which may be purchased in concen
trated form or made at home, as de
sired. Directions for making, dilut
ing and applying the lime-sulphur so
lution will be gladly furnished upon
application to the State Entomolo
gist, Atlanta, Ga.
The important thing now is to pre
pare for this spraying and to do it
within the next few weeks.
Fall the Best Time
While spraying for San Jose scale
may be safely done at any time after
all the leaves are off the tree, fall
spraying is generally the best because
weather conditions are more favorable,
and there is an absence of the high
winds of February and March.
Usually with trees which are not
KILL THE WEEVILS WITH CARBON
BISULPHIDE TO PRESERVE GRAIN
Atlanta, October. (Special la
these times ot imperative tood con
servation, it is more essential than
ever to eliminate or control the va
rious destructive insects which infest
stored grain and seeds in the South,
and sometimes destroy entire crops.
These insects include the Granary
weevil, Rice weevil, Saw-toothed Grain
beetle, Red or Square-necked Grain
beetle and the Angumois Grain Moth,
all of which seriously damage com,
wheat, peas and other grains. It is
easy enough to recognize the weevils.
The moth is small and whitish color
ed, resembling the clothes moth.
The Standard Remedy
Carbon bisulphide, a liquid that
can be obtained at any drug store, is
the standard remedy for these pests.
When exposed it rapidly turns into a
gas which is heavier than air.
To get the best results the corn,
grain or peas should be placed in
a bin or crib, as nearly air-tight as
possible. The gas is very penetrating,
and will fumigate whether the grain
is in bulk or In sacks.
, Estimate the cubical contents of
It should not be necessary to con
vince any man of the need of the Gov
ernment for his aid.
Charity is not asked for, but help;
and help of a kind that knows no
selfishness.
If money Is loaned to the Govern
ment at a fair rate of interest and
repaid at the specified time full value
has been returned.
The man lending the money always
has something on which he can real
ize full value at any time he may need
money.
The man who cannot on account of
age, Infirmities, dependents, or any
other reason enter active service can
send his dollars to fight for him, real
izing every day that he has done his
best and that full credit will be given
him.
Small Investors Buy Liberty B ,nds
Of the first Liberty Ixian of $3,000,-
000,000 sixty-five per cent of the sub
scriptions were for amounts of SIO,OOO
and less. The same ratio is expected
to prevail for the second.
badly Infested this single spraying
will be sufficient for the control of
the scale. But where trees are bad
ly infested, they should have two
sprayings, one in the fall and another
in the very early spring before the
buds begin to appear.
While the lime-sulphur solution
does not hurt the tree, it will seri
ously injure leaves or buds, and for
this reason spraying should always
be done while trees are dormant.
Must Spray for Good Fruit
It makes no difference whether a
grower has only a few trees, or an
extensive orchard, with thousands of
them; he must spray his trees to con
trol the scale, if he wishes to get
good fruit.
When scale insects are allowed to
multiply, they slowly sap the life
of the tree, affecting its producing
qualities, and they also get on the
fruit, giving It a scurfy appearance,
vivid discoloration, and make it
worthless as a market product.
For any further information on this
abject desired, write the State Ento
piologisL State Capitol, Atlanta, Ga.
the space occupied by the grain by
multiplying the three dimensions to
gether, and where the bin is practi
cally air-tight, use 5 to 8 pounds of
carbon bisulphide for each 1,000 cubic
feet of space; and where not air-tight
use from 20 to 25 pounds to each 1,000
cubic feet.
First level off the corn or grain,
then make holes about a foot deep,
four feet apart each way. Begin at
the holes farthest from the door,
pouring an equal amount of the
liquid into each hole, and work to
ward the door. Fill in each hole with
corn or grain to confine the fumes.
The liquid will not hurt the grain
either for seed or food.
Precautions To Be Taken.
Carbon Bi-Sulphide gas, when mix
ed with air, is explosive in any kind
of flame, just about like gasoline; so
that precautions should be taken to
avoid any danger of fire. Inhaling
the gas produces no harmful effect
unless kept up for a long time.
For any further information re
garding these or other insects or dis
eases. write State Entomologist, State
Capitol, Atlanta, Ga.
