ISLE OF HOPERs AT WARSAW.
Sunday School Spent n Jolly Day al
the SeashOre


The Isle Of Hope Sunday School picnic
/ at Warsaw last week was an event among
the little ones as well as the older folk Of
Isle of Hope Mention of the picnic has
already been made in the Morning News
one of the picnickers has written the fol-

In our own experience of thirty years
in growing the tomato we have found no
other single obstacle to lorge yields of to-
matoes greater than the worm known as
the boil worm of cotton. The worm
known to horticuturists as the tomato
worm" does no damage at all compared to
the damage done by The so-called "cot-
ton" corn or boil worm In the aggre-
gate loss OF tomatoes of the past ten
years neither rot nor scald nor blight has
worked the same amount of harm TO the
crop as this Unsuitable, ubiquitous worm
alike the foe and one difficult TO con-
tend, of three great plants-corn. cotton
tomato. If this worm is as bad in every
tomato patch in Georgia as it is in our
own this season, 1t may be set down that
fully tWo-thirds of the first setting of fruit
has been destroyed Owing to much dry
weather the vines, though healthy look
ing, have not set much fruit by June
and of these so per cent. or more are per-
forated by the worm. The moth that laws

unless they cen be trapped before the eggs
are deposited on the young tomatoes little

One of the great problems for the experi

Treatment of the Peach Borer.

When borers once get INTO a peach tree
there is nothing 10 do but to cut them ONT
No application can be made to the ont
side of a tree to kill the borers inside Of
IT, says bulletin No 12S of the New JERSEY
experiment station.
The proper way is to keep them out from
TIE beginning. No young trees should be
set out until they have been examined for
borers, and no tree injured by them should
be put in.
The trees should be wrapped with a
double thickness OF newspaper when set
out, so that at least fifteen inches of the
trunk is covered above ground and this
wrapping should remain undl the middle
of September. When the wrappings are
taken off the trees should be closely ex-
am!ned, and If any borers have made their
way In above the papers they should be
cut out.
Thereafter the trees should be annually
protected by paper wrappngs, put on not
later than the first week in June. and pre-
ferabfy before the first of that month.
This protection TO continue each year to
the middle of September.
Hydraulic cement mixed with skim milk
is equally effective, and may be preferable
on young trees. II is sufficiently lasting
and cheap, and any borers attempting to
enter above il are at once seen, since there
is nothing to shelter them.
In tying on paper do not use too strong
or stin twine. Peach trees grow rapidly
and may become girdled. unless the Irvine
is somewhat yielding and breaks under a
moderate strain A little relying may be
required in August on young, rapidly
growing trees.
such are the results of elaborate inquiry
and tests at the New Jersey experiment
station, as summerized by Prof John
Il. Smith In bulletin 49,

The latest results of COW pea investi-
cations seem 10 confirm the high value
generally placed on that plant as soil
improver' Cow peas are grown chiefly as
source of forage and fertilizer nitrogen
Properly cured, the vines make excellent
hay, but they must not be housed too
dry.
Planters win find it economical to seed
all uncovered land to COW peas. Not onlv
is the soil protected from loss Of valuable
Iertlilzer ingredients, but more or less fer
ulzer nitrogen will be gained. on moder
ave slopes washing win be checked eff
iectlVely. In fact in many ways the
practice gives beneficial results.
Used as soil protection, that Is as a
cover crop. planters usually simply sow
the peas on soil, giving very slight prep
aration-a very short-slghted policy. For
every purpose for which COW peas arc
beneficial, rank growth is vastly sure
nor 20 a scanty growth. Time is very
important to the planter. 1t takes prac-
llcaliy the same time to grow an album
can't crop as TO make poor, thin growth
certainly rank growth of peas needs
the aid of fertilizer. Notwithstanding the
fact that this plant increases the fertility
OF the soil rather than reduces it. There
80 PNpN'ol misrepresentation on this
point
Cow peas, as well as other legunes
have the property of accommodating from
the air fertilizer nitrogen. They cannot in
the same manner accumulate potash and
phosphate, and must be fortified with
these two ingredients precisely as corn or
cotton.
The value of COW peas as soil improver
rests on the fact that with a liberal APP
pication of potash and phosphate, the
plant VIII supply not only the nitrogen
necessary for its own growth, but also
considerable quantity for the use Of other
crops.
Corn, or cotton, not only requires potash
ana phosphate fertilization, but also nitro
gen. As nitrogen is by far the most ex-
pensive Ingredient of the three. 1t is plain
that judicious use of COW peas may re-
suit in furnishing largely the nitrogen
required for other crops. A fair crop OF
COW peas yields per acre:

If potash and phosphate are literally
supplied the nitrogen is almost all clear
GAIN While the greater part of the potash
and phosphate is also returned for making
the following crop In the above illus
tration the use of 100 pounds of potash
and phosphate has resulted in a gain of
l25 pounds of fertilizer nitrogen. The lat
ter is worth about $13, while the former
cost perhaps Sc; but the former is large
ly returned for use again. While the
economy of the COW pea thus shown is
as actual as sunlight it Is equally true
that the nitrogen cannot be accumula ted
unless the potash and phosphates are
present in the soil in available form-that
is, as fertilizer.
Also, IL is too much to expect to get a
total assimilation of any fertilizer appli-
cation. For an acre, as indicated above
the plants actually take up 80 pounds of
potash and so pounds of phosphoric acid
To provide for this drain on the soil, the
application should be at least 125 pounds
of potash and 70 pounds of phosphoric
acid, say $50 pounds of muriate of potash
and 500 pounds of acid phosphate.

MISTAKE ~ BANK sTATEMEST.
Surplus Reserve Ovcrstated by Million
Week ago Saturday.

There Ia great public interest nowadays In
the weekly statements published every Satur-
day OF the cash on hand. loans and 80 forth OF
the banks In the Clearing House Association
and Of the other banks for which these banks
clear. The statement issued week before last
was surprising In that II showed an apparent
increase In the surplus reserve OF these asso-
ciated institutions OF over 81 100000. This
increase was much greater than those familiar
with the situation had expected. and various
rumors were current as to mistakes In the
statement.
1t can be positively stated that there was
this basis for these rumors. namely. that one
OF the banks In the Clearing House Associa-
ton did make a mistake in reporting its
condition. by creditine itself with nearly
S1.OOU.0OO more cash OH hand than 1t
actually had Oh hand. This error was. OF
course. corrected in the bank statement

shown by comparison OF last Saturday $
figures with those OF the preceding Sat-
urday S1.0OO.O0O greater than 1t really was.
The figures required by the Clearing House
are quite com picated. and small errors are
naturally not infrequent in the compilations
in which so many people share. IL Is believed
that this is the largest error that has ever oc-
Cured. Its probable character was discovered
by the accountants OF the Clearing House rs
soon as the report from the bank in question
came to them. The officers OF the bank de-
cared. however. that no mistake had been
