were covered with ringworm, and my
face seemed worse. I got some medi-
cine which relieved the itching and
sort Of dried up the ringworm, but 1t
kept coming back. decided to let
the medicine 60, and scratched them
until they were sore. At that time
there must have been four on my face.
One extended from the corner OF my
mouth under my chin. That was the
largest one, but the smaller ones look

A SERIOUS FOE IS
THE MOLE CRICKET
But Department of Entomology Says
1t Can Be Suppressed by
Careful Effort.

Atlanta, Ga.-The mole cricket,
which is causing much trouble to
farmers, particularly in southeastern
Georgi, is believed to have been
brought into Georgia from the
West Indie, and for the past fif-
teen years it has been gradually MAX
ing it's way to the interior wherever
it can find sandy loan or peaty soils,
which constitute it's favorite and al
most excl" abode
-auoi'~
The mole cricket is a brownishcol-
ored bug about one and a quarter
inches long with six strong and well
developed legs. Its forefront legs are
highly specialized and these, together
with its head, constitute its burrowing
apparatus with which it tunnels
through the ground very much like
the mole, whence its name.
The mole cricket mates in the early
spring. and the eggs are deposited
from April Is to June Is, an important
fact in connection with the work of
their determination. Only one brood
occurs during the year Each female
will deposit from twenty to sixty eggs
In an egg CIldIlUSI VI bCh ACouAAo vi
from the main tunnel and within about
five inches of the top of the ground.
The eggs hatch within twenty-four to
twenty-six days. The young cricket
reaches the adult stage within eight
to twelve months.
Eats Many Kind of Plants.
The mole cricket's food consists
both of plant and animal life. The
cricket will eat the eggs of its young
or feed upon another of the same
species, but its principal food is com
posed of the young and tender roots
of growing plants. The cricket does
not confine it's feeding to one particu-
lar plant. 1t will feed on practically
all truck crops, such as lettuce, pep
per. tomatoes, turnips and potatoes.
and upon pastures and lawns winch

Young sugar cane is also much-de.
sired article of diet Both the potato
vine and potatoes themselves are eat.
en- The cricket sewers the vines OF
tomatoes. potatoes and peppers just
below the surface of the ground. AS
much as fifty per cent. of field OF
potatoes has been destroyed by the
prlCKelS GdIIuS INV AoOSAo'
Probably the most effective method
vet presented in controlling the mole
cricket is to pillow the breeding areas
two or three times between April ID
and June Is. This exposes the eggs
in large numbers to the sun which
kills them, or they may be eaten by
insectiverous animals.
In the case OF young and tender
nlants. preventive measures have Of
fen been employed with good effect,
such as placing around them tin, wire
qauze or paper cylinders. A very
good tin cylinderis made by melting
the top and bottom off a tin tomato
can. The cylinder should extend apou.
two inches above the ground. All not
beds in an infested area should nave nv.
solid or gauze wire floors, preferably
the latter. and with fine mesh, anu
thew should be screened over during
the night, as that is the time when
the cricket does most Of its feeding.

FORTY INSECTS
ATTACK THE PECAN
Board of Entomology Tells How to
Fight Bugs and Diseases That
lnjure the Tree.

Atlanta, Ga.-No matter what agri-
cultural or horticultural line per-
son decides to follow in Georgia, he
must make a knowledge of certain
plant insects and diseases a part of
his stock in trade. The State Board
of Entomology is established not only
to furnish him information on such
subjects, but to assist him by demon
stration in checking, controlling and
getting rid of pests and diseases which
affiict growing plants and trees.
With the progress of the pecan in
dustry in Georgia, the Department of
Entomology has made a special study
of it, and has found that the pecan
tree, which thrives in nearly all sec
lions of the state, Is subject TO attack
by about forty species of insects
while only two diseases OF any con-
sequence affect it.
State Entomologist E. Lee Worsham
has given some interesting data with
regard to the most prevalent in the
state.
The pecan bud moth, a small yellow
ish or pale green worm or caterpillar
with dark head, attacks young buds.
tender twigs and leaves, There are
several generations OF 1t, the first
coming In May. The most effective
remedy is to spray with arsenate OF
lead before 1t has chance to get
down into the buds

around itself for protection. The first
attacks the young buds and twigs;
the second eats holes in the leaves
and devours the blossoms. They can
be controlled by the use of arsenicals
as in the case of the bud worm.
Burn the Web Worms.
The fall web worm is a grayish
or brownish caterpillar which natures
in large white web, which it leaves
later to go to other parts of the tree.
The best method of control is burn
ing them with kerosene or lightwood
torch before they leave their webs.
The pecan leaf caterpillar is rather
large and dark in color Just prior
to shedding their skins, these cater
pillars leave the branches on which
they have been feeding and congre-
gate on the trunk of the tree in large
ball-like clusters. When congregated
they can be killed by burning, but
they may be killed before this by
spraying with arsenate of lead.
The pecan tree borer, similar to the
peach tree borer, digs into the sap
wood usually where tree has been
injured or where it has been budded
The best known remedy is to dig
them out with knife wherever prac-
ticable. The wounds should be COW
cred with grating wax to prevent the
deposit of eggs when the female
energies in the spring.
The pecan girdler is a small beetle
which has the pernicious habit of
girdling limbs and thus pruning them
off The female has the habit OF de-
posting her eggs in the branches
pruned off, and the insect is best con-
trolied by gathering up and burning
these branches during the winter.
The pecan and hickory nut weevil
is the insect that bores holes in the
nuts. Or, rather, the hole is made
by the grub or larvae boring its way
out. II infected nuts are boxed up
SO that the larvae cannot get into the
ground where they must go to trans
form, they will starve to death.
Only Two Bed Diseases.
The pecan is more or less free from
scale insects, and such scales as are
found on the tree are easily controll-
ed by lime-sulphur and other sprays
used for the San Jose scale.
The two diseases which most serl-
ouSly affect the tree are pecan rescue
and pecan scab. Little or nothing is
known about pecan rosette, which
causes the ends of the twigs to die
back in the fall. Some growers have
resorted to the removal of the affected
parts, but Mr.. Worsham is of the opin-
ion that when a ree-is attacked with
this disease the best thing to do is
to remove it entirely from the or
chard and burn it.
Pecan scab Is fungus disease
which attacks the nut and the hull COW
ering it in such manner as to dwarf
it and prevent 1t from maturing. The
scab is known to attack the leaves and
tender twigs as well. Seedlings as a
rule are more susceptible than the
budded or grated trees. The scab
can be prevented by the application OF
Bordeaux mixture just before the buds
begin to swell in the spring, and once
or twice later during the growing sea
son, say once in June and once in
July or August 1t is always an ex-
ceIlent idea to topwork seeding trees
with varieties which are more or less
resistant. The Stewart is variety
which displays great deal OF resist
ance to this disease.
