LETTERS TO EDITOR
Fighting Enemies of the Peach

To the Editor of The Age-Herald: Anyone riding over this part of the
 state at this time will be impressed with the large amount of peach trees and plum
 trees in bloom. This promises to be a
 banner fruit year. However the large
 amount of waste to be caused by the lit- tie insect known as curculio, which stings
 the fruit just at this time, is tremendous.
 If unchecked the production will very like
 ly be diminished from 30 to 50 per cent by this insect alone
 It IS possible for anyone or at least for
 any community cooperating to save this
 waste at comparatively little expense, but
 action must be taken at once The dam ags is frequently done within the first two
 weeks after the tree comes into bloom. Within two days after the period of full
 bloom spray the tree thoroughly with a solution of two pounds of neutral arsenate of lead with three pounds of freshly slaked lime, in a barrel of water. After
 about 10 or 12 days give a second spray ing. this time using two pounds arsenate Of lead in each barrel of 'self-boiled lime sulfur" solution. Directions for preparing this solution are given in bulletin No loz or the Alabama experiment station which will be sent free to all applicants. The lime sulphur treatment is used be- cause 1t is very effective in preyentine the brown rot
 The trees may be sprayed with Bor- deauX Mixture for fungus or with self boiled lime sulphur and arcenate of lead for insects such as the curcuio Where
 the trees are few, say less than 25 il is not necessary to procure expensive ap- paratus for spraying. Small hand sprays a ba rdy wa ctp
 stores for about B. The material for making the spray is inexpensive. It is very easy to save 8 worth of fruit by an application to few trees It is best to spray the trees soon after
 the blooms drop and again 10 days to two
 weeks later. Those interested can Secure specific information from the Alabama ex- pertinent station at Auburn. Also the coddling moth needs attention just now. This Is the enemy of the ap- pie. and may be destroyed in similar way.
 demonstrator for Jefferson county, would gladly assist Jefferson county farmers and fruit growers, while an appeal to the general agent for north Alabama, c. NJ. Mauldin, would receive immediate at- ter tion. These gentlemen are located in the county courthouse.
 County Superintendent P NJ McNeil l contemplates writing letter to his prin- cipals calling their attention to this op- portunity for becoming of real service to | their communities by taking the initiative in this matter.
 Also. no doubt. the department of ag- riculture at Montgomery would be glad to assist in eradicating the curculio from
 our orchards.
 In my opinion the spraying apparatus and the canning outfit can bring hun
 dreds of thousands of dollars into Ala bama coffers and assist materially in re- storing "good times" Respectfully, N. R. BAKER, Assistant County Superintendent of Edu- cation.
