MAY BE CHECKER.

QUEsTIoN = Is the San Jose scale more
dangerous in the south than at the
north? 8&F1SE3A8 "
ANSWER. This pest is much more de-
structive in the south than at the north,
owing TO the longer breeding and feed
ing season afforded it by the southern
climate. In Georgia, the scale lies dor.
mant only about two months-from
Dec. 10 to Feb. l5-leaving it ten
months insthe year in which to multiply
at very rapid rate, and prosecute As
destructive work of sapping the life Of
the tree. Even during the dormant Pc
Rod there come days warm enough to
revive the insects and set them to breed
ing again.
In January. 1893, infested peach twigs
were received from Danville, Ga, on
which living young were crawling pro-
fusely. On Feb IA, 1899, specimens
were received ar this Office from Cairo,
Ca, and upon examination they were
found to be breeding. On March s, 1893,
/ inspected an orchard in South Georgia
and found the scale breeding freely on
plum trees. From this almost incessant
breeding and feeding it can be readily
understood that the San Jose scale is
more dangerous in southern climates
than at the north, where the period of
its destructive work is cut short by the
cold of winter
Again, the peach trees being more
susceptible to injuries of any kind than
almost any other orchard tree, and since
the peach is the principal fruit grown
In this state. we suffer more from the
ravages of the scale than other states
that grow apples and other fruits that
are more resistant
With us peach trees are entirely killed
in two seasons after they are first at
tackled. On April 80, 1898, inspected
an orchard of 1000 3-year peach trees
at Pine City, Ga, and after careful
search found only six trees infested
with the San Jose scale. No treatment
was applied to this orchard, and on
Nov. Is of the same year / visited it
again, and found one-t third of the trees
entirely crusted over with the scale and
IN dying condition.
In view of these facts, with other
similar cases, we must conclude that
the San Jose scale is much more de-
structive in the southern states than at
the north.--State Entomologist.

Georgia. also give me any information
touching the early MANUFACTURES and
the progress of the same in Georgia?
ANSWER. The first factory estab-
lished III G orgia was built on the Oco-
nee river, miles below Athens. in the
year 1927. This enterprise proved sue.
,, cessful, and was soon after followed by
many Others in the same county (Clarke)
and In Green, Richmond and other coun-
ties. From small beginnings these en-
terprises have in late years developed to
considerable magnitude, and with pe-
cuniary success that points to them as
agents OF most prosperous era in the
history OF our state. Thasplehdid wa
ter powers of the Savannah at Augusta.
and the Chattahoochee at Columbus,

over the New England states, which

In. and we see from year to year capital

tain, as well as from every valley in our
beautiful Empire state of the south.
Here, we have no need of the middle
man or transportation. Wages are much
less here than In the New England
states. the cost of water and steam
power is less, building material of every
kind is less, living expenses are less and
the climate is more favorable. The wheels
are seldom clogged or INSTRUCTED by ice,
the consumers of our products are at our
own doors, and for these reasons alone the
manufacturer of cotton must and will
come southwark. There is still room
Tor greater strides along this line than
Georgia has made in the past, and
yet she has done well.
just how many organized cotton mills
there are now In operation, we are un-
able to say, but more than a decade ago
we had more than 30. We also have
many wool factories, paper factories,
iron foundries, -four mills, gold quartz
mills and stamp mills in operation, and
railroad shops, locomotive and car fac
tories, carriage and wagon. boot and
shoe factories, and sash and blind facto-

have tanneries, potteries, liquor and tur-

Raising "Broom Corn"


QUESTION. = have decided to grow
broom corn for the market.
Please give me all the infor-
nation along this line possible.
ANswER.-This plant is variety of
sorghum" and a native of the East
Indies The introduction of this plant
is attributed to DIR. Franklin. who, find
ing o seed ON whisk broom that had
been imported, planted it, and from this
originated the culture of "broom corn"
in the United States. The average pro.
duct of brush per acre is about 500
pounds. There has been produced from
very fine soil and locality as high as
1000 pounds per acre.
As there seems to be no substitute for
broom corn brush. there is always q de.
mand for it, and it is crop that can be
easily cultivated. 1t is profitable one
for the farmers to raise In those sections
to which it is well adapted. U
The seed make very good food for
horses when mixed with oats. II is
also fine food for poultry after the
chicks are two or three weeks old, when
fed with other food. When ground
with our common Indian corn in pro-
portion to three bushels of broom corn
to one of Indian corn, it makes good
food for cattle, hogs or sheep.
Generally speaking. broom corn grows
best where our native corn grows best,
: and the preparation of the land is similar
to that for corn. Good river or branch
bottom land is best suited to this plant:
but any good land we'll drained will,
with barnyard manure, or a good fer
tilizer, make good yield The better
plan is to broadcast the manure, pillow
and harrow the same SO as to pulverize
the soil thoroughly. Plant in the drill
or in hills. The rows may be from
three to four feet, according to the va.
riety to be grown; the dwarf varieties
in three feet rows and the larger varie-
ties In four feet rows. The hills may
be two or three feet apart. When the
seed are sound and well.ripened, two
quarts will be sufficient TO plant one
acre. Be sure to get good seed. You
can use the seed drills that will plant
small seed, or if only few acres are to
be planted, you can plant with the
hand. The cultivation is similar to
that of corn. only you have to use more
care and skill because Of the smallness
Of the plant. Thinning should be done
when the plants are two or three inches
high, leaving five or six in the hill, or if
drilled, the stalks should be left three or
four inches apart.
AS to the harvesting and curing Of
the broom corn, I viii take pleasure in
advising you later if you desire such in.

Spraying For the Pest.

QUESTION. to the continued
rains, have been unable to spray a sim
gle tree since Christmas. How late can
/ spray for the San Jose scale, and must
the per cent of oil be diminished as the
buds advanced? f ~
ANSWER. twenty-five per cent of
kerosene Is the strength to be used
against the San Jose scale during the
dormant period, and this can be used in
the spring until the fruit buds begin to
open. In the spring when the tree be-
gins to grow it is even in better condi.
ton to resist the ill effects of the kereo-
sene. 1t is invigorated and enabled to
throw off the oil that might penetrate
the bark. 1t is not saH, however. to
spray with any per cent while the trees
are in full bloom. The kerosene would
burn the petals and injure the fruit.
After the bloom is shed the spraying
can be continued with Is per cent
mixture. A greater per cent would
likely burn the tender foliage. The Is
per cent strength will kill large per
cent of the scale and check It's ravages
to great extent. If the orchard has re.
ceived the % per cent winter treatment,
however. 1t Should not be necessary to
commence the summer treatment 50
early. Every favorable day mp to the
blooming period should be utilized in
spraying infested trees with the vi Der
cent mixture. II 10 important that
bright, sunshiny days be selected to ap-
ply the treatment. otherwise the Oil
may penetrate the bark of the trees and
injure them before evaporating. State
