'forty insects
I ATTACK JE PECAN
Board of Entomology Tells How to
Fight Bugs and Diseases That
I । Injure the Tree.
Atlanta, Ga.—No matter what agrl-
I cultural or horticultural line a per-
I son decides to follow in Georgia, he
, must make a ■ knowledge of certain
plant insects and diseases a part of
his stock in trade. The State Hoard
of Entomology is established not only
to furnish him information on such
subjects, but to assist him by demon
stration in checking, controlling and
getting rid of pests and diseases which
h afflict growing plants and trees.
• With the progress of the pecan in
'; dustry in Georgia, the Department of
. > Entomology has made a special study
• of it, and has found that the pecan
i tree, which thrives in nearly all sec
l tions of the state, is subject to attack
jby about forty species of insects
)' while only two diseases of any con
sequence affect it.
। ■ State Entomologist E. Lee Worsham
1 has given some interesting data with
* regard to the most prevalent in the
state.
The pecan bud moth, a small yellow
ish or pale green worm or caterpillar
with a dark head, attacks young buds,
tender twigs and leaves. There are
| several generations Zif it, the first
, ^pming in May. Tile most effective
Wemedy is to spray with arsenate of
lead before it has a chance to get
down into the buds.
. I There are two species of the pecan
case bearer. This insect forms a case
j around itself for protection. The first
attacks the young buds and twigs;
i the second eats holes in the leaves
and devours the blossoms. They can
i be controlled by the use of arsenicals
. as in the case of the bud worm.
Burn the Web Worms.
i The fall web worm is a grayish

in a large white weE, which it leaves
latter to go to other parts of the tree.
The best method of control is burn
ing them with a kerosene or lightwood
torch before they leave their webs.
The pecan leaf caterpillar is rather
large and dark in color. Just prior
to shedding their skins, these cater
pillars leave the branches on which
they have been feeding and congre
gate on the trunk of the tree in large
ball-like clusters. When congregated
they can be killed by burning, but
they may be killed before this by
spraying with arsenate of lead.
The pecan tree borer, similar to the
peach tree borer, digs into the sap
wood usually where a tree has been
injured or where it has been budded.
The best khown remedy is to dig
them out with a knife wherever prac
ticable. The wounds should be cov
ered with grafting wax to prevent the
deposit of eggs when the female
emerges in Uie spring.
The pecan girdler is a small beetle
which has the pernicious habit of
girdling limbs and thus pruning them
off. The female has the habit of de
positing her eggs in the branches
pruned off, and the insect is best con
trolled by gathering up and burning
these branches during the winter.
The pecan and hickory nut weevil
is the insect that bores holes in the
nuts. Or, rather, the hole is made
by the grub or larvae boring its way
out. If infected nuts are boxed up
so that the larvae cannot get into the
ground where they must go to trans
form, they w'ill starve to death.
Only Two Bad Diseases.
The pecan is more or less free from
scale insects, and such scales as are
found on the tree are easily controll
ed by lime-sulphur and other sprays
used tor the San Jose scale.
The two diseases which most seri
ously affect the tree are pecan rosette
and pecan scab. Little or nothing is
known about pecan rosette, which
causes the ends of the twigs to die
back in the fall. Some growers have
resorted to the removal of the affected
parts, but Mr. Worsham is of the opin
ion that when a tree is attacked with
this disease the best thing to do is
to remove it entirely from the or
chard and burn it.
Pecan scab is a fungus disease
which attacks the nut and the hull cov
ering it in such manner as to dwarf
it and prevent it from maturing. The
scab is known to attack the leaves and
tender twigs as well. Seedlings as a
rule are more susceptible than the
budded or grafted trees. The scab
can be prevented by the application of
Bordeaux mixture just before the buds
begin to swell in the spring, and once
or twice later during the growing sea
son, say once in June and once in
July or August. It is always an ex
cellent idea to topwork seedling trees
with varieties which are more or less
resistant. The Stewart is a variety
which displays a great deal of resist
ance to this disease.
REAL USE FOR QUEUE
QUITE GOOD REASONS WHV|
CHINAMAN CHERISHED IT.
Was Believed to Promote Health, anil
Certainly Was a Protection to '
the Head Both In Summer
and Winter.
A great many people have, no doubt,
wondered just why the Chinese should
cultivate queues. It has been claimed
that the queue was sacred to them, I
that it was a disgrace to Injure those .
long braids of shiny black hair, just
as it was considered nearly l a sacrilege I
in Bible times to injure the beard. j
No doubt the Chinaman took pride I
in his long braid of hair, because his
fathers before him took pride in it,
but, according to several authorities
who have long studied the customs
and history of China and the Chinese,
there were other reasons for the
queue, and apparently quite good rear
sons at that.
In the first place, the Chinaman be
lieved that it was far more healthful
to wear his head shaven, except at
the top of his head, and let it grow in >
a long mass to be braided. One be- >
lief was that wearing the hair in this
manner Increased the circulation of
blood In the brain and therefore made
the Chinaman healthier and keener.
Then again, during cold weather the
queue could be braided about the
head, giving the protection of a thick
warm cap. And in extremely hot
weather the queue w r as again braided
about the top of the head, this time to
protect the wearer from sunstroke.
The long queue is also used ae a
sort of neck-cloth, to wrap about th4
neck, and it is bound loosely on the
back of the head to serve as a pillow
at night. Perhaps one of the most pe
culiar uses attributed to it is in sud
den illness or injury, especially in the
old days of warfare when swords were
the general weapons. Then it was
used as a turnijuet to bind about she
injury and prevent too great a loss
of blood. •
It was for these reasons as well as
for any reasons of sentiment or relig
ion that the Chinamen hesitated so i
tong before agreeing to sacrifice their I
queues, but it is evident that the cus-'
tom of wearing queues was not what
might be termed a “foolish habit,” as I
it was really made to serve a number
of uses.

PRINTYPE IS OWNED AND CONTROLL
ED EXCRUSIVELY BY THE OLIVER
TYPEWRITER COMPAEY
America rings with praise and ap
plause for Printype. This superb
new typewriter type has attracted
more attention than any typewriter
innovation brought out recent years
Hundreds of thousands of people
have seen this new type and wond
ered what it was that made prin
type correspondence seem like a
spoken message. There’s virility,
strength and charm in printype cor
respondence. There’s refinement
and “class” and style. Not pecause
of its novelty—it’s inherent in type.
A Vast Improvement
Printype is designed in shaded let
ters and numeral, like the type in
whice books and magazines are
printed. It is book type transformed
and adopted to modern typewriter
requirements.

H. S. HURWITZ,
This radical departure from the old
style “outline” letters makes it pos
sible to produce, on the Oliver type
writer, a page of manuscript as clear
and attractive as that of the finest
book. The Oliver is the first and
only typewriter that successfully
prints print.
The Prim .ry Reason
Printype resulted from our discovery
that “outline” type, with its sam“-
ness, due to absence of shading,
wus harmful to the eyes.
The Silent Test
For months, without any advertis
ing, we put hundreds of Printype
Oliver Typewriters into actual serv
ice, in many diverse lines of busi
ness. We wanted the public verdict
It came in a burst of admiration and
a flood of orders that proved prin
type a brilliant success. Printype
letters, wherever seen, excited the
keenest interest. Business men who
received their first printype letter
almost invariably answered, post
haste—“where did you get that type
Thus printype captured the country
without firing a single shot,
Price Not Advanced
The Printpe Oliver Typewriter sells
for SIOO. You can pay at rate of 17
cents a day The new type adds 25
per cent to the value, but not one
cent to the price. A small cash pay
ment brings the machine.
