DAMAGE DONE BY PECAN INSECTS_AND DISEASES Board of Entomology Tells of Results of Investigations of Pecan Pests. Atlanta, (la. —(Special.)—The im-, poiraut information that there are vn-' of tie Pecan tree which are! .-.•■• t nubject to the attacks of cer tain insects, and that there are those which lie- jscmir-rly resistant to de- ' i structive Pecan scab, lias been devei ! Ope l'by the Georgia Board of Ento mology, anti will shortly be incorpo rated in a new bulletin. In this bul letin will appear much new and inter tilling information.’ Os the Idrty or more insects that attack the Pecan, several n< ■..■ one: have made their appearance in Geor gia since the last builetin was is sued. These are described and, in sofar as is pc- ible, the methods of control are given." There ate only two bad diseases which attack Pecans in ! Georgia, the worst of which is Pecan scab; the other is Pecan rosette. Perhaps the most interesting and 1 important information conveyed ): this bulletin is the fact that certain varieties are less liable to infestation by lhe Pecan case-bearer, one ot the i.iosi destructive of all inr.e -ls. To variet es upon which the fewest ot : these insects were found aie Money maker, Har.sen, Georgia, Curtis, Ro - sed, M.antura, Hican (none), Tesehi tnd Young. The min t info :•- i were the Capitol, Vanfleman, Hobby, Slit art. Nelson, Krotschtr, Teyl >r, Alley, Appomattox and Delrnas, Intennodi- ! rite between the two were the Mo bile, Creo.e. Slice" ...

Will Be Held Thursday, April 20—Experts Will Speak—Z; Ji Farmers and Business Men Should Attend. An important conference of' I fanners and business men from all South Georgia has been call ed to meet in Albany, Ga., on Thursday, April 20th, at ten o’clock a. m., to discuss and con sider the be. i methods of dic ing' with boll weevil conditions. This conference will be h Id under the auspices of the Geor gia State Board of Entomology, the States Relations Service of the United Stales and the Alba ny Chamber of Commerce. This will be one of the most nota ble, most interesting and most ini- I'orlant conferences on Ibis subject yet held. It will bring before farm ers and business men of the entire section some of the foremost expert of the country, in dealing with the Mexican Cotton 801 l Weevil. Experts To Be Present Among the speakers will ho Dr, W D Hunter of Washington, D. C., in charge of southern field crop insect investigation; Dr. Bradford Kimpii of V.. -liington. head of the States R li t ions Service; E. Lee Woi-kni Sair Entomologist; J. Phil Campbell, siate Agent for the States Reunion-. I Service; Ira W. Williams. Expert i : Cotton Breeding, and Chancellor T>. I C. Barrow, of the University of Geor- These men are all well equipped to deal with the situation and to tell farmers, bankers, merchants and busi ness men of all classes who are in terested in iliis problem ju.t what ■ should be done to make farming profii al.le in spite of the presence of (he weevil. All Who Can, Should Come This conference should bring to- i i fie Pecan, perhaps the Pecan case : ..r arer is the most serious, particu | larly in the soutb Georgia Pecan belt j It is a gray moth, as an adult, about an inch across with wings spread. ' The.worm lives in a case and sticks o head out to feed on the !<•: ves I and twigs. The best method of con | iroi is io spray with arsenate of lea i n August or the first week ot Sop- I (ember. In this way it is remliiy j I iie'd in check. The Pecan shucksworm, a common ■ insect attacking the shuck, preven’in■■ maturing of the nut and staining it, i ■ : cr.ntroiled by gathering and burning ; >he shucks. The Pecan cigar case-bearer, like i lie regular case-bearer but. smaller, i. scarce in Georgia. The control 1. u -enate of lead spray in March v> hep iie l it. are swelling The Pecan- nut ease-bearer is new in Georgia, having been fe st observed n 1915. The insect develop- within j he nut. Unless checked this insect | may soon do serious dar. a je. . lethods : . t control are now being worked out | The twig girdlers cut. off I’ecan | ! branches. Infested limbs should b> ' .• bered and burned. Keeping dem! ; limbs and all dead wood out of the I i orchard, checks many insects. Borers Must Be Dug Out. The Hal headed borers, flat, hard, ; i shiny beetles about half an inch long, i bore into- the bark and Iced between ! : ;he bark and wood. The. best method I - • to follow the cracks in the bark, dig them out and kill them. Shothole I .. "I pinhole borers are other lypm ol beetles which similarly attack the ; r, e. They are controlled by burning lead wood ami, where very serious, by whitewashing the trunk of the ' I’Rf?. The pecan nut curcuiip, similar tr ! he plum insect, is a weevil whin 1 ' bores into the nut. making the ordi j - wiry wormhole sometimes seen. Th< I : method of control Is not yet worked i out, but shallow plowing when th ' ’i "< t is in the ground gets many ot I ’ * in. The Pecan borer, like th* i ! Peachtree borer, must be reraovec ] with the knife. The fall webworm and similar i . cc should be burned with the kern I’llo torch or scraped off and slepper ei. The Pecan looper, alarm? moil chat eats the leaves, is controlled by arsenate of lead spray. Tiie »an>< etueejy is applied for the budworm wo species ot which attack and de troy the buds. Leaf hoppers, small Teen Insects which suck the' leaves nd cause them to curl, are controller i ’ by spray ot whaleoil soap.
