QUESTION. i send you in a small bot.

small eggs, what are they? Also bug
which wish you would name? If these
are injurious TO tree or fruit give me
remedy for them.
ANSWER. After careful microscopic
examination l find the twig covered
with the black, shining eggs Of the
"Apple tree Aphis." They are laid in
the fall of the year. and at first are of
light green or yellow color, but gradu.
ally become darker, and finally black
and glossy. AS soon as the buds begin
to expand in the spring these eggs hatch
out small lice, which insert Il cir bills
in the buds and tender leaves and suck
the juices from them. These lice attain
maturity in 10 or ~ days, and then com.
mence giving birth to living young at
the rate of two or three daily. They
continue this for two or three weeks
when they die. The young lice repeat
this process of reproduction exactly like
their predecessors, and so it goes on uu.

eggs. To destroy the young lice syringe

Warning In Regard to Compost PeddIers.
In the Monthly Talks and Answers
to Questions" for January l took occa-
sion to denounce one ]. d. Butler.
president of the Champion Chemical
Process Co" of Dunn, Fayetteville and
Thomasville, N. O., and published him
as fraud and Il swindler in that he
was selling worthless formula for
making a fertilizer, thus robbing our
farmers wherever he could. am now
in receipt of Bulletin from the North
Carolina Experiment Station exposing
this same rascal for selling his fraudu-
lent formula in North Carolina. In
that state he claims to be from Georgia,
i'll this he gives North Carolina as his
residence | have advertised this par
ticular rascal so thoroughly, simply to
put the farmers on their guard against
all vendors of fertilizer formulas. Asa
rule they are rascals, and unless they
can show the indo1 sement of their for.
mulas by this department, they should
be promptly arrested and punished
Should the aforementioned Butler again
make his appearance in Georgia. trust
that he will be promptly arrested. If
an example could be made of one of tbs
swindlers that sell worthless formulas
for fertilizers. the business would be
broken up. much to the benefit of the
farmers ! again repeat that this de-
partment is at all times ready to furnish
good formulas for making composts
and they can be had by simply writing
to this office. Another point to which
wish TO call the attention of the farm
ers is this: Sometimes guano or cotton
seed meal is offered for sale, either I'M
tagged or with tags of the previous year
on the sacks. This is q violation of the
law and subjects the manufacturer,
upon conviction, to the penalty of fine
or imprisonment, or both The manu-
facturers should know the law ON the
subject, and it they violate it they ought
to suffer. Occasionally a tag will acct
dentally be removed from sack, and,
of course, the law would not apply in
such a case.-State Agricultural De.

siding burrows OF if the seed are tc be
planted very soon after the beds are
made. part of the fertilizer may be
drilled into the center furrow and the
remainder in the two listing burrows.
The experiments at the Georgia station
show that it is by no meansinecessary,
nor is it desirable to broadcast the ferti-
ilzer when less than 1900 pounds are to
be applied to an acre of corn or cotton
or other wide row crop. Broadcast ma
nuring should as rule be confined to
crops that are planted broadcast, as
small grains, grass, etc.
Keep in mind that cotton following
peas requires fertilizer running lower
in nitrogen than when put on land
which has been planted in corn or small
grain. State Agricultural Department..
Proper Soil For the Cultivation of Pecaus.
QUESTION. you kindly write me
something about the cultivation of ne.
cans? The proper soil, the number of
years before bearing, etc? l am told
u,
the reason that if in TRANSFORMING the
tap root should be broken they would
not bear. Is this true?
ANSWER. The pecan tree requires for
its best development rich alluvial soil,
being native of the rich bottom lands
of Texas and the states bordering on the
lower Mississippi river. They may be
grown successfully on rich uplands of
the cotton states, but will never amount
to anything on thin, thirsty soils, where
many have been planted. On suitable
land the trees should be planted not less
than 40 to so feet apart each way, and
they should be we'll cultivated while
young. 1t is not true that should the
tap root be broken off in transplanting
the tree would not bear. At the same
time care should be taken to mutilate
the roots as little as possible. Some
growers prefer planting the nut where
the tree is to stand, others prefer to
transplant Under favorable conditions
the pecan will commence to bear in 10
to IA years.

Rotten Pine straw as Fertilizer.


QUESTION. branch which runs
through my farm is large deposit of
swamp muck, composed of rotten pine
straw, leaves and other vegetable mat
ter, mixed with soil washed in from sur
rounding land. Is this valuable as
fertilizer? If SO how shall use it?
ANSWER. Such deposit as you de-
scribe is valuable if you can utilize it by
short haul. The value of muck lies in
the nitrogen and organic matter, the
amounts OF potash and phosphoric acid
being insignificant. The nitrogen be-
comes more quickly available by COM
posting the muck, which brings about
fermentation. By this means, also, the
organic matter is converted into humus.

Narrowing Oats to Loosen Up Soil.

QUESTION: have field of volunteer
oats, very thick, would it do any good
to run through them with cutaway
harrow to loosen up the soil? If YES.
When! want to manure them with
acid phosphate and cottonseed meal,
what proportion of each shall I use?
Should | mix any potash with the meal
and acid?
ANsWER.-I would advise against u.s.
ing cutaway harrow OH your oats, as 1
think it would cut them up too much.
Ii would be an advantage to the oats to
cross and recross them with a plain
smoothing or straight tooth harrow,
which would loosen the soil to some ex-
tent and slightly thin out the oats,
which would probably benefit them. Do
this as soon as the ground is sufficiently
dry.
A liberal top dressing of cottonseed
meal, say 800 pounds to the acre, applied
just before narrowing, would probably
insure you good yield of oats. AS,
however, you doubtless expect to follow
your oat crop with peas, suggest that
you add 100 pounds of phosphoric acid
and so pounds of kainit to the cotton.
seed meal. In that case you might ex-
pect a fine pea crop after taking off the
oats without any further fertilizine -

deners, but gradually the custom grew
until every one that applied was furn-
ished with a few choice seed. This
proved very unsatisfactory for many
reasons, and so the practice was entirely
abandoned more than two years since.
The testing of new seeds and new vari-
cites is now very carefully and thor
oughly done by the experiment station
near Griffin. and the results are pub
lished i'll their bulletins and in many of
the papers of the state, thus doing away
with the necessity of this department
sending out any seeds for that purpose.

should be preferred. Insoluble phos.

ANSWER. answer TO your ques-

fertilizer you will use. If the elements
are readily available and highly ammo

large amount into two and even three
