SOME ADVICE TO THE
FARMER.

Iwould like to make a few sugges-
tions to the farmer as to how he can
help in big and little ways to make his
wife, as she ought to be, the happiest
and best contented woman on earth.
If there is a telephone line in reach
of you, have phone put in your
house. If there is none, get together
with your neighbors and build one. 1t
will pay you as we'll as give pleasure
to your family.
Get to work on good roads in your
community, if you haven't them al
ready. Then get gentle horse your
wife can drive and see that it is at her
disposal at least once week. Got a
buggy for her to ride in instead of
having to use the old heavy farm
wagon.
Subscribe for one or two good mag,
azines for her.
Make her your business partner and
consult with her about everything.
The chances are she has just as much
sense aud business jugment as you
have and she may have more.
And remember that anything you
can DO to increase your wife's health
and happiness will increase your own
and that of the whole family Mrs.

gressive Farmer.

COTTON RED SPIDER
Press Bulletin No. LXXXI

Even now in some fields the red
spider is beginning to do its damage,
and this will become more evident as
our warmer and drier summer weather
comes on. This damage can be recog-
nized by the reddish discoloration OF
the leaf of the plant infested, begin
ming at the base OF the leaf where the
stem is attached and spreading out
over the entire leaf. Different from
the damage done by what is known as
"cotton rust,'' the leaves affected by
the red spider shrivel and drop of.
The so-called red spider is not spider
at all, but little red mite, which cuts
into the leaf and sucks the sap out of
the plant.
Infestation will be observed to begin
usually near the edge Of the field.
This is due to the fact that the spiders
pass through the winter on green vege-
tation, such as we commonly find
about the edges Of fields and along
ditch banks. When the cotton has
become well started, they wander on
to this and begin to spread. They lay
numbers of reddish colored eggs on the
under surface of the leaf, and spin
over these a fine web to hold them
selves to the leaf while at work and to
protect their young. Various agencies,
such as the plow going through the
field, a stray dog, or the wind, distrib-
ute the pests for distance often Of
many yards.
From these facts it can sbe clearly
seen that good remedy for the rec
spider is a preventive one-to keep
down by fall turning of the land the
green weeds common about the edges
of the field. The next precaution to
observe is not to let the pest get the
start. Spray the infested area with
one percent, lime sulphur solution.
MAKE up the same kind of solution
you used for a winter spray for the
scale on your peach and apple trees
and dilute this about twelve times. If
you do not recall how to make this
solution, full information will be
furnished upon request by the Division
of Entomology, Clemson College, 8. G.
If you have the commercial lime
sulphur solution, dilute SO parts OF
water to I Of the solution. Apply this
with spray pump with Vermorel or
Misty nozzle producing fine mist and
get this to cover the under side of the
leaves thoroughly. Should a spray
pump not be available, use an old
broom or something of this type and
attempt the same thing. If these steps
are taken as soon as the form begins
to spread, it is a comparatively easy
matter to control the pest; but if de-
layed it is almost an impractical mat
ter for farmer in his early season to
treat whole acre even with a good
barrel spray pump. The red spider
will be noted as of much more damage
during dry weather than when we
have plenty of rain; and often, though
not always, good, heavy shower is
better than any remediafmeasure man
can apply.

Preserving Fruit
And VEGETABLES.

@. G. Vincent, associate professor OF
horticulture at Clemson College, has
prepared the following bulletin, which
is of peculiar interest at this time:
To preserve fruit and vegetables for
exhibition in order that they may ap-
pear IN their natural condition is a
process little understood by the ma
jority of people. However, II one has
the time and inclination to take the
proper precautions, very little difficult
twill be experienced in preparing
the fruit. Success lies in the proper
selection of specimens for preserva-
ton. As much, it not more, depends
upon the selection and proper hand
ling of the frui5 and vegetables than
upon the formula used. Never allow
specimens to become fully mature and,
to meet with the best success, they
should be placed in the preserving
fluid fully two days before thoroughly
ripened. The fruits selected should
be in the best possible condition and
without blemish of any kind.
After washing in clear, cold water
to remove all dust, dirt, spores, or
other foreign matter, place carefully
in the receiving jar. Avoid handling
the specimens any more than is really
necessary. After filing the jar as full
as possible without bruising the sfruit.
the LIQUID should be poured in. Some
writers recommend straining the liz
uid through several layers of cheese
cloth. This is 6. good plan. Make the
lid air tight and Place in dark room
at temperature of 80 to 40 degrees F.
The Jars should he examined every few
days and if found fermenting the iq-
uid should be removed, the fruit rims
ed, and new liquid used, varying the
proportion of chemicals.
The following formulas have been
used quite successfully in preparing
fruit for exhibition:
/. To veg: ables such as squashes,
cucumbers, onions, dissolve one pint
of pure clean table salt in every gal
Ion of water used. Allow this solution
to sts nd twelve hours then strain
through several layers of cheese cloth
and pour over vegetables.
2. For strawberries, blackberries,
raspberries, and currants use clear
water-white kerosene. but be sure that
no water rem aims on the berries.
s For pears, peaches, and plums
use one quart of glucose and one-half
ounce of formaldehyde to every gal
Ion of water.
4 For apples use one and half
oaaces of formaldehyde to every gal
lon Of water.
5. Eor fruit in general, use one pint
OF glycerine, five ounces powdered bo-
rax to every gallon of water, then al
ter fifteen days add two ounces form
aldehyde to each gallon for dark fruits,
and two ounces Of sulphurous acid to
oil light colored fruits.
