WEST & DUKES PEARSON, GEORGIA Patronize Tribune Advertisers PEARSON TRIBUNE, OCTOBER 26,1917 I *v/ : - . i I i ■ ft I 9 i cj f 9 I • . ft A - 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. ATTENTION PUBLIC!
