" Goodrich 5 Super Traction Silvertowns 2 MAKE EVERY ROAD AN OPEN ROAD PERDUE SERVICE STATION Alamo, Georgia Hints to Gardeners > by Gilbert Bentley Flower Expert Ferry Seed Institute Flower Pests and Diseases AN effective way to defeat certain flower diseases Is, of course, to plant disease-resistant strains such as rust-resistant snapdragon and wilt-resistant aster. But the only way to combat insect pests is to spray or dust plants with insecticides. An early season pest is leaf beetle, a chewing insect whose presence is indicated by holes in the leaves. It is found most often on alyssum, zin nia. marigold and annual phlox. Leaf beetles can be successfully con trolled by using stomach poisons in the form of sprays containing arsen icals or pyrethrum. < Snapdragon, aster, petunia and verbena are the principal victims of the cutworm, a chewing insect which cuts plants off at the ground. To combat it, place about a spoon ful of poison bran bait around the base of each plant. Aphis, sucking insects, bother al most all the popular flowers with the exception of zinnia. They pro mote wilting and cause crumpling and discoloration of leaves. A con tact poison (pyrethrum or nicotine sulphate base) should be sprayed or dusted on the plants. Downy mildew is a disease found almost anywhere flowers are grown. It shows up white all over the plant and discolors to black, killing leaves and causing stems to rot. Zinnia is its particular prey, although pe tunia. phlox and others also are affected. JAs a remedy, flowers of sulphur may be dusted on very lightly, and the treatment repeated. "lake a big step toward elimina tion of all pests generally by burn ing garden waste and trash, espe cially any diseased stalks or leaves, at the close of the season. New Miracles Os The Photoelectric Cell By James D. Purdy Director, Schools of Electrical Engineering, International Correspondence Schools AN electric eye standing guard against smugglers is one of the unusual features of the new Free Port on Staten Island, New York. A 1000-watt light casts its beam across 2700 feet of water to a photo electric cell at the opposite side of the entrance to the port. A launch or other vessel crossing the beam and shutting off the light from the cell, sets off a siren and causes the ring ing of a bell to warn the custom guards on duty. * 4 M The photoelectric cell has been called into play to prevent lightning from interrupting the broadcasting of radio programs. If lightning strikes the antenna tower the flash is caught by a photoelectric cell trained on a discharge gap at the base of t-he tower. The cell sets up an impulse which through a compli cated mechanism shuts off the trans mitter's power for a split second, preventing the station’s power from being drained off into the earth, as would otherwise occur. The interrup tion is so brief that it is imper ceptible to the radio audience. » « o A new type metal-working lathe has been developed abroad, which is controlled by a photoelectric cell and is said to be capable of pro ducing objects as shown by a draw ing, without the intervention of the human hand. After the machine has been adjusted, the cell scans the drawing and automatically produces the object in the indicated shape and dimensions. The star; and a photoelectric cell are utilized to regulate with abso lute accuracy a new electronic clock installed for the Pope in Castle Gondolfo. When a certain star comes into the focus of the cell placed at the base of an astronomical tele scope, the light of the star causes the cell to set up an impulse which corrects any Might inaccuracy in the clock’s timing.

Hints to Gardeners by Harold Coulter Vegetable Expert Ferry Seed Institute * Miscellaneous Hints FLOWERS: When irrigating, lay the hose on the ground and soak the soil between the rows. Sprink ling requires the use of more water and is less thorough. To get better and larger blossoms, cease watering when buds appear. For a continuation of bloom, pick flowers regularly. Tins is most im portant with sweet peas and pans ies, less so with petunias. VEGETABLES: Avoid the com mon mistake of letting vegetables grow too large before picking. Younger vegetables are more tender, more .nourishing and more pala table. With a large percentage of the vegetables, get them comparatively early. Root crops—radish, carrot, beet—are at their best when hardly half grown. Pick peas just before pods fill out completely. Pick corn just at the "milk” stage, that is. when the ker nel, gouged with the finger nail, yields a milky juice. Use summer squash when small, soon after the bloom has dropped off. Other vegetables, of course, should be allowed to mature more com pletely before using. Tomatoes should be ripened well on the vine, as should winter squash. Canta loupe are at their best when they need not be pulled from the stem, but roll off the vine at a touch. There are exceptions to some of these rules of course. For instance, some may wish to use green toma toes for special dishes or for can ning, or they may wish to allow beans to grow to the dry bean stage.

Only three states in the union can boast a higher standing than Georgia in this ultra-modern meas ure of progress. For three straight years, Georgia lias held this high position — far ahead of the wealthier states of the East and North. And Georgia is rapidly gaining on the three Western states that still lead us, for- No state in the union — east, west, north or sou A— showed as Lig an INCREASE in use, in kilowatt hours, as Georgia rolled up during the year just past. In 1936, Georgia homes used an average of 1,076 kilowatt hours* per home — 48 per cent more than the national average of 725 kilowatt hours per home. In 1936, Georgia homes showed an average increase of 153 kilowatt hours—just exactly THREE TIMES the national increase of 51 kilowatt hours. Wluit to Qeoe’^a? These figures, in themselves, are proof of Georgia's progres siveness. And they take on deeper significance when we translate them into labor-saving devices, time-saving appliances, modern comforts and up-to-date conveniences, which have rid so many Georgia homes forever of the life-consuming burdens of a decade ago. This is a record which has added years of youth and happi ness to the lives of Georgia women. And it is a record that is growing brighter with each suc ceeding year! * This is the average for ALL Georgia electric utilities, privately and publicly owned. Far ahead of this figure teas the 1936 record of the Georgia Power Company alone —an average of 1,1 S 3 kilowatt hours, or 63 per cent more, than the ■national average.
