ample. The food of sucking insects,
which include all the scale insects and
the plant lice, can not be poisoned by
spraying-Paris green and arsenate

scale, woolly aphis, and the lice that
infest melons, apple trees and many
other useful plants This group can
only be overcome by spraying with a
remedy that kills by contact with their
bodies, or serves as a repellant; hence

try. On the other hand, the apple

tato bug, tomato worm and the great

trolled by spraying at the proper time

Paris green or London purple, and Is

In fighting the various diseases OF
plants-mildew, fruit rot, blotch, scab,
etc.-the main principle involved is
the idea of prevention-spraying with
a remedy, like self-boiled lime-sulphur
solution or Bordeaux mixture when the
fruit is first formed, and then at in
tervals of not more than four weeks,
to destroy the disease when its germs
begin to grow. The germs of the de-
structive fungi are SO very minute that
they can not be seen with the naked
eye, and the air is full Of them. If the
plants are covered with the solution
when a germ starts to grow on the
skin OF fruit, leaf, or branch, it's ten
der young parts are destroyed by con-
tact with the remedy. Several spray
ings are necessary, not only because
rain may wash off the first application,
but also because the growing tissues
expand, and the new parts must be
protected by repeated sprayings.
1t is apparent, then, that the spray
pump must be frequently used If the
crops are to be protected from their
enemies. 1t is also apparent that many
kinds of crops can be protected by
spraying. Most people think of the
spray pump In connection with the
orchard and vineyard, but it has q
much wider use. Not only fruit and
vegetable crops can be protected by
the spraying machine, but wherever
insects or fungi threaten, there is use
for the spray pump.

SEED SELECTION ON THE FARM.

Nothing has been proved more con-
clusively within recent years than the
importance of seed selection. This
applies to every crop grown on the
farm.
There is a general impression that
there is something mysterious about
plant breeding, and that practical
farmer can not accomplish anything
in this direction. No greater mistake
could be made. While we hear much
about selection for disease-resistanc
drought-resistance ETC., after all, selec-
ton for crop improvement in any d.
rection means simply, select seed from
the best individuals under all condl-
tions.
When a crop has suffered from any
adverse condition, such as drought,
for example, selection Is more i'm
portant than at any other time. A
field of corn, oats, wheat, or cotton
should under such conditions be care
fully searched over, and seed saved
from the finest individual plants. This
seed planted the next few years to
itself will soon produce enough to
seed a large farm.
Suppose, for example, tomato
grower in Gibson county had been in
the habit of annually selecting his own
tomato seed, choosing not only good
fruit, but also good plants. He would
almost certainly have had blight
resistant stock of seed, provided this
disease had been prevalent ON his
land, just as Professor Essary secured
the blight-resistant tomato, discussed
in Bulletin 95 of the Tennessee Expert
ment Station.
In like manner, suppose Tennessee
farmer had twenty-five years ago be-
gun selecting seed from few fine
clover plants on his farm. When the
deadly "clover-sick" disease invaded
his fields he would have kept up this
practice of saving seed from the best,
and consequently would have had an
immune clover without having ever
known what his neighbors' trouble

In these days of manifold dangers to
field, garden and orchard crops, 3
spraying outfit is as important a part
OF farm equipment as pillow, a seeder,
or cultivator. For what ia the logic
OF soil preparation, seeding and culti-
waiting the crop, If insects and diseases
are permitted to destroy it? The spray
pump is as useless, standing In the
barn, as any other unused implement,
and it is as much a mistake to use 1t
at the wrong time as 1t would be to
plow a clay field Immediately after a
heavy rain-no good and much harm
would result.
A good spray pump has its sub
merged parts made OF brass or bronze,
sets low on it's support, and can de-
velop force enough to deliver the spray
under high pressure. For ordinary
farm use a pump mounted In a stout
barrel will serve all needs, but If there
is an orchard of five acres or more
power spraying outfit will prove a
good investment Even In small or
chards spraying pumps Of the Samson
type, costing about $40, are much more
effective than the barrel mounts, since
they develop much more pressure.
Every year sees improvement In
spraying machinery, and number of
firms are putting high-class outfits on
the market so that 1t would be unfair
to recommend particular make. The
intending purchaser should study the
catalogues of different firms, and If
there are spray pumps in the neigh
borhood he should get the opinions of
their owners before purchasing.
The use of the spray pump has only
become general in the last ten years.

of Agriculture have been experiment.
ing with view to learning the best
methods of crop protection, and have
embodied the results OF their investi-
cations in bulletins, so that now there
is available an extensive literature in
the form Of reports and bulletins that
can be had free of charge.
There Is widespread confusion in
the public mind regarding the meh-
DDS, the time, and the remedies used
in spraying, and the novice should
seek the advice of his state expert
ment station before beginning opera
tons. One should know the nature

rum is getting scattered In some Of
the Southern States. This disease may
be recognized by a dark.sh brown
spot occurring on the steem, increas
ing in area, until it completely girdles
an kills all of the stem above the az
fected area. Two reports of this dis
ease have come to the writer during
the past month. 1t is hoped that per
sons noticing this disease will send
specimens, that knowledge of the
distribution of this rose disease may
be known. The best advice that can
be given regarding the treatment is
that of pruning out the affected canes
as far as 1t may be possible, and spray
ing the remainder of the bushes with
some standard fungicide such as Bor-
deaux Mixture or lime-sulphur solution
properly diluted. The best time to take
action against this disease is while the
roses are dormant, as much stronger
spraying mixture may be used at that
time.-G. M, Bentley, Tennessee Ex-

PLANS PROMULGATED
TO RELIEVE GROWERS

There is no reason for the cot
ton producer of Henry county to
worry about the ready sale of
his cotton. The Paris Business
Mems Club have three plans for
the protection of Henry county
cotton.
(1) The association has a
storage house where cotton can
be stored and insured for 35
cents per month per bale.
(2) There are quite a number
of volunteers in the association
who will buy a bale of cotton
from the producer who feels
that he is Obliged to sell for
cash outright.
81 Quite a number of the
merchants have agreed to take
the producers cotton at 3 cents
per pound in the seed and give
him in exchange such merchan-
disc as he may need or give him
credit on account. All of these
arrang ements are good an d
should relieve the cotton situa-
tian in Henry county.
The Business Mems Club make
these arrangements and offers
for no other purpose than to
stand between our farmers and
lower prices. 1t is best to keep
our cotton and our money at
home, and these plans will bring
about the desired effect and save
the cotton crop. There must be
no sacrificing of cotton in Henry
County. If there should be any
sacrifice it should be mac at
home and to our people. By CO.
operation a people can always
protect themselves. Farmers
will please call upon the secreta-
ry of Business Mems Club in the
City Hall at Paris for full infor-
nation and directions.
By holding the present crop
under the above arrangements
and decreasing the cotton acreage
next year, our farmers will have
acted very wisely. The farmer
now has an opportunity that
never before has confronted him.
There will be an immense de-
mand for wheat, barley, rye,
corn, cattle, food-stuffs, etc. in
1915 and the wise farmer will
side track cotton and get busy to
take care of markets in foreign
countries as we'll as this country.
