BROWN-TAIL MOTH
A SERIOUS MENACE

This brown-tail moth is a great dea
more serious as a menace to the fruit and
forest trees of Georgia than the people
realize declares State Entomologist
Worsham. I'VE are doing our best to keep
ii out of the state, and believe we have
been successful thus far. We have warn
ed every nurseryman in Georgia, and
all shipments of young trees from Europe
are being held up by them for our inspec-
ton. But there are dozens of other ways
that the pest might get into the state
and once here, it would take the work
of our lives to eXterminate it,"
About a month ago the first word was
published of the discovery of the moths
cocoons in a big importation of fruit trees
from Algiers, France. The entomologist
of New York state made the discovery
but not before several shipments had been
distributed over the Union. Two of the
shipments were headed for Georgia, but
Entomo1ogist Worsham, acting upon the
timely notice given by the New York Of
fetal, caught them before the young trees
could leave the cars they came in. Since
then, says DIR. Worsham, a number oil
other infected shipments have been head
ed off just in time.
Believing that the menace is serious
enough to warrant aggressive action, En-
tomologist Worsham has prepared a cir
cular that will be distributed among the
thousands on his mailing list during the
latter part of this week, as soon as the
curculars come from the printer.

TARIFF BILL WILL
DIVIDE DEMOCRATS

WASHINGTON, Feb. Zs-The Demo
cratic senators are going to be divided
when the tariff bill reaches them next
session. They are a unit on the general
principle that the tariff should be based
on the demands of the government for
revenue rather than protection, and APP
parently If the Democrats themselves
were in the majority and were framing a
bill it would be upon this basis.
Some of them believe In proceeding up
on this theory even though the Repub-
licans frame the BILL others, coming
from states in which there are large In
dustries which have heretofore been
the subject of protection. take the view
that, as the bill will. under any circum-
stance, be a protective measure, it is in
the line of their duty to their constitu-
ents to exert themselves to obtain the
best protection possible in the new meas
sure.
Senator Simmons. of North Carolina
is among the southern Democrats who
take the position that southern products
should be properly taken care of in pro-
tective bill and he will devote special at
tention to the lumber schedule, which he
apprehends will be vigorously attacked

QUERIES ANSWERED
Using Nitrate of Soda on Grain Crops


sE. H. J., Gainesville, Ca, writes: I
would like some information in regard
to the use of nitrate of soda as top
dressing for grain. When should it be
used, how much per acre. and what is
the increase in yield likely to be from
using it.?
Nitrate of soda is regarded as an ex-
cellent top dressing for grain. In our ex-
perience we have never found more than
100 pounds per acre a profitable applica-
ton to make. We prefer to make rather
light and frequent applications Of this
material. 1t would be all right to apply
nitrate of soda now. 1t may be applied
any time after growth starts. From a
practical point of view, we would not
apply IL now, because most of our grain
crops seem to be too far advanced when
the season is considered, and there is
danger of hard freezes seriously injuring,
If not destroying them. Nitrate of soda
may be applied with good effect on grain
crops until they begin to shot into head.
We prefer to use It before this stage,
of course, but in case of backward
season and where a crop shows evidences
Of needing stimulation, we are satisfied,
from our experience, that this material
can be used with advantage.
It is impossible for me to say just
what increase you may expect from the
use of 100 pounds per acre. 1 have seen
1t vary from a small increase up to seven,
eight and even ten bushels of grain per
acre. With corn 1 have seen larger in
crease than this obtained, and with cot
ton as much as 2SS pounds of lint have
been credited to an application of 126
pounds of nitrate of soda. This is, of
course, a rather remarkable increase, and
one could not expect to obtain it under
all conditions

NO BLACKS, ON JURY
WON'T SAVE NEGRO

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The case of
Marcellus Thomas, a negro under SEN
tence of death on the charge of killing
two men in Harris county, Texas, was de-
cided yesterday by the supreme court OF
the United States against Thomas. As
the grand jury by which the indictment
was returned against him contained no
man of his own race, he charged that
he had been Disseminated against con-
trary to the constitution of the United
States and therefore asked the supreme
court to intervene in his behalf
The court refused to reverse the decis-
ion of the Texas court.

comparatively dry autumn. OF course,
climate has an influence on the character
and composition of the nuts, since it has
been demonstrated that in tropical coun-
tries a larger per cent of oil is obtained.
As TO any other influences which climate
may exert but little is known, and the
subject has not been as extensively inves-
togated as the Importance of this crop
would seem to justify.

Preparing Land for Irish Potatoes

G. A. H., Tunnel Hill, Ga, writes: i
wish to plant Irish potatoes on good slate
land now in sedge. Would you recon-
mend the use of well-rotted tanbark on
this land? What kind of fertilizer ought
to use and how much?
We have no experience whatever with
the rotted tanbark on land intended for
Irish potatoes, but are somewhat at a loss
TO understand how it can be of any ma
terial benefit, as we can not conceive that
this material contains enough plant food
to make ii of value to the soil, and 1t has
occurred to us that 1t might not have a
favorable effect on the growth of the po-
tatoes, though this statement is not based
on experience.
We would pillow this land deeply as
quickly as possible. Then we would get
as much leaf mold or other rich woods
earth as possible, and apply literally in
trenches before applying the fertilizer. If
farmyard manure can be had, we would
use it as a top dressing over the whole
area at the rate of five to ten tons per
acre. A complete fertilizer may then be
used at the rate of 500 to 1000 pounds per
acre. A good formula will be the follow
ing: 1000 pounds of acid phosphate, 600
pounds of dried blood and 400 pounds Of
sulphate Of potash. This mixture would
contain approximately 3.9 per cent of
nitrogen, s per cent of phosphoric acid and
10 per cent OF potash. The potato loves
potash and 1t should be supplied in the
form of sulphate rather than muriate. To
succeed with this crop liberal fertilization
is necessary on all save very rich lands
which contain a superabundance of vege-
table matter. Many professional potato
growers use as much as 5000 pounds of
fertilizer per acre, and raise a second crop
on the same land. We would not advice
an inexperienced grower to undertake the
raising OF potatoes on an extensive scale
at first, nor the use of such large amounts
Of fertilizer. For potatoes, we would ap-
ply the fertilizer under the drill row and
away from the seed.

We Judge from your letter that you are

Of the parsley, though the sedge grass
