DAMAGE DONE BY PECAN |
INSECTS AND DISEASES
Board of Entomology Tells of Results of Investigations
of Pecan Pests

Atlanta, Ga.-(SpeciaL) THE i'm
portant information that there are va
rieties of the Pecan tree which are
least subject to the attacks of GER
tain insects, and that there are those
which are peculiarly resistant to de-
structive Pecan scab, has been devel-
oped by the Georgia Board of Ento-
mology, and will shortly be incorpo-
rated in a new bulletin. In this bull
letin will appear much new and inter-
esting information.
OF the forty or more insects that
attack the Pecan, several new ones
have made their appearance in Geor-
gia since the last bulletin was is
sued. These are described and, in
sofar as is possible, the methods of
control are given. There are only two
bad diseases which attack Pecans in
Georgia, the worst of which is Pecan
scab; the other is Pecan rosette.
Perhaps the most interesting and
important information conveyed IN
this bulletin is the fact that certain
varieties are less liable to infestation
by the Pecan case-bearer, one of the
most destructive of all insects. The
varieties upon which the fewest of
these insects were found are Money
maker Harsen, Georgia, Curtis, Rus
sell, Mantura, Hican (none), Tesche
and Young. The worst infested were
the Capitol, VanDeman, Schley, Stu
art, Nelson, Frotscher, Taylor, Alley,
Appomattox and Delmas. Intermedi-
ate between the two were the Mo-
bile, Creole, Success, President, Pabst,
Teddy, Bacon and Hadley.
Trees That Resist scab.
Most suspectible to Pecan scab
were found the Georgia, San Saba,
Capitol, Delmas and many seedlings.
Only slightly infested were the Van
Deman, Schley, Alley, Halkert and
Mobile. The varieties declared safest
to plant from standpoint of immunity
from scab are Moneymaker, Russell,
Stuart, Schley and Alley, the infec-
ton noted in the two latter being very
slight.
Pecan scab, the most serious fun
gus disease attacking Pecans, is indi-
Gated by small black pustules on the
leaves and nuts. 1t is best controlled
by a thorough and careful spraying
with Bordeaux mixture in the proper
ton, pounds copper sulphate, 8
pounds lime to fifty gallons of water.
The mixture should be carefully made
dacprihad in tho
Pecan rosette causes the twigs to
die back IN the fall Little is known
about it. Some growers remove the
affected twigs. Entomologist E. Lee
Worsham is of the opinion that it Is
best to remove and burn the tree.

! the Pecan, perhaps the Pecan case
bearer is the most serious, particu-
larly in the south Georgia Pecan belt.
1t is a gray moth, as an adult, about
an inch across with wings spread.
The worm lives in a case and sticks
it's head out to feed on the leaves
and twigs. The best method of con-
troll is to spray with arsenate of lead
in August or the first week of Sep
TENDER. In this way it is readily
held in check.
The Pecan shucksworm, a common
insect attacking the shuck, preventing
maturing Of the nut and staining it. is
controlled by gathering and burning
the shucks
The Pecan cigar case-bearer, like
the regular case bearer but smaller, is
scarce in Georgia. The control is
arsenate of lead spray in March when
the buds are swelling.
The Pecan nut case-bearer is new
in Georgia, having been first observed
in 1915. The insect develops within
the nut. Unless checked this insect
may soon do serious damage. Methods
of control are now being worked out
The twig girdlers cut off Pecan
branches. Infested limbs should be
gathered and burned. Keeping dead
limbs and all dead wood out Of the
orchard, checks many insects.
Borers Must Be Dug Out.
The flatheaded borers, fiat, hard,
shiny beetles about half an inch long,
bore into the bark and feed between
the bark and wood. The best method
is to follow the cracks in the bark,
dig them out and kill them. Shothole
and pinhole borers are other types or
beetles which similarly attack the
tree. They are controlled by burning
dead wood and, where very serious,
by withdrawing the trunk OF the
tree.
The pecan nut curculiO, similar to
the plum insect, is a weevil which
bores into the nut, making the ordi-
nary wormhole sometimes seen. The
method of control is not yet worked
out, but shallow blowing when the
insect is in the ground gets many OF
them. The Pecan borer, like the
Peachtree borer must be removed
with the knife.
The fall webworm and similar in
sects, should be burned with the kero-
sene torch or scraped off and stepped
on. The Pecan looper, a large moth
that eats the leaves, is controlled by
arsenate of lead spray. The same
remedy is applied for the budwcrm,
two species of which attack and de-
stroy the buds. Leaf hoppers, small,
green insects which suck the leaves
and cause them to curl, are controlled
by spray of whaleoil soap.
The new bulletin, as soon as pub
lished, will be furnished to anyone
interested, on application.

Boy Scout Leaders Needed.
From The Boston Adrertiser.


Few movements have had the widespread
popularity that has come to the Boy Scouts
Of America. There has been no difficulty in
onlisting all the boys who can be accommodate
ed in this organization, but a check has come
from another quarter. Although 10000 men
ale now serving in various capacities as lead
ers IN the organization, they are not enough
to handle the 100000 boys already enrolled
and to allow the increase in numbers which is
desired. II is said that in greater Boston
alone 5000 bows could be added to the organi-
zation if it were possible to find older men
willing to devote little time to fitting them
selves for leaders. The Boy Scouts offer I'M
usual advantages in healthful recreation and
training and it is to be hoped that n sufficient
number of volunteers will come forward to
enable the organization TO admit every boy
who desires to become Boy Scout. There
arc plenty of young men who could do much
TO help themselves by taking the special train
ing for "scoutmasters." Such training is a
fine thing for any one who can spare the time
to fit himself for that work 1t not only
helps young man physically, but Is good for
him mentally and morally.

Museums in War Time.

! 1t is usual now to hold the war account
able for most of the minor evils that can
not plausibly be attributed to the weather.
During the last year public attendance has
fallen off at some of our museums and
places of instruction or amusement-at
the Metropolitan Museum of Art, at the
Geological Park and at the Aquarium. 1t
is supposed that the loss of some Of Mr..
Morgan's popular treasures may account
for the apparent waning Of interest in art,
but why the public should be less inter
ested than usual in the animals of The
Bronx and the fish at the Battery is not so
obvious. Of the fact there can be no
doubt-at the Geological Park there was a
falling off of more than 100000 visitors;
at the Aquarium of more than 100000 We
are asked to believe that the decline is a
consequence Of the war.
The official explanation is hardly credi-
bic. Mr.. Hornaday argues very plausibly
that many persons who used to have fam
lily outings in the park or Sundays and
holidays have joined the armies abroad"
and the number is probably considerable
Still, it is difficult to believe that this cir
cumstance is alone sufficient to account for
so remarkable a difference. No one who
ever visits either of these places can doubt
that foreigners patronize them freely, but
with all due allowance for the thinning of
their ranks it is unlikely that the number
of visitors has been reduced in this way
by the hundreds of thousands. Is it not
possible that the increasing popularity of
the movies has something to do with the
matter?

10 the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Despite his vacillations, President
Wilson, up to a certain point is as stubborn
as the typical mule of Democracy and. as in
the affairs with Germany and in Mexico and
in other instances, is capable of the astound-
ing UoHe faces that have frightened his DO
litical friends. He starts in with an undi-
gested statement, clothed in the majesty OF
well-rounded English, and he sticks TO his
epigram and growls about It much in the
manner of a dog with a bone.
He has made the statement that the rail
road brotherhood hold-up has the sanction of
society. He sticks to this statement while
trying TO cloud the national intelligence
with the "eight-hour day" pretending that
1t is really an eight-hour day of work these
highwaymen bludgeoned out of him, to the
loss OF all other crafts in the land
The majority of the metropolitan press
happens to be against Mr.. Wilson, but there
Is always a possibility that they may be
swayed by other than reasons of conviction.
To any one not surrounded by about FORTY
feet Of political adulation and sycophancv
and by a mountainous sef-love il would seem
time TO reflect, but Mr.. Wilson is not vet ~
that stage. He may change his mind when
the occasion for opportunism and petty poll
tics is past-when Mr.. Hughes is in Office

The 0ptician.
From me Providence Medio1! Journai)

tFror7 IN, PTotfdeucc Medical Jorrrdl)
The recent gathering Of opticians at Provi-
dence for the annual meeting Of their ma
tional organization has left at least two well
marked impressions on the public first. that
everybody should wear Crookes lenses. and
second, that the meeting was one of physi-
clans. Both ideas are erroneous, but the lat
ter is really the more serious, inasmuch as
many people will be led TO think that they are
consulting oculists and receiving a physi-
clans examination when they have their eyes
examined by the optometrist. The optician
or optometrist, as he now prefers to be called
has perfectly legitimate place in the prac-
tice Of medicine, and that is in the furnishing
Of glasses ordered by an oculist. His posi-
ton Is homologous to the pharmacist, who is
admittedly versed in the compounding OF
drugs, but in these days is rarely considered
capable of treating sick persons. The optom-
etrst is not doctor and should not pose
as one. Unfortunately, there are even physi-
clans who do not realize this. II is a com
mon observation Of oculists that the optician
who does no refraction. but confines his work
70 his proper sphere Of grinding lenses and
fitting frames does far better work than his
competitor whose vanity is tickled by being
called Doe"

Make Ii a Crime.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: No mentally sound, right thinking and
right feeling American citizen. native or nat
uralized, exercises the least measure Of an
tagonism toward the striking of the members
of labor union, provided it be conducted
without exhibitions of violence against their
employers or their property, in disregard of
the public peace. Labor unionism, conducted
within the law. is not un-Amercan, and
therefore has the Endorsement Of a large
percentage Of the rank and file" Of the great
population of this republic.
But when il comes to the calling out Of
hundreds OF thousands Of wage earners asso-
ciated with other labor unions having nc
afiilation whatever with or material interest
in the status of the Striking" labor union,
that is another question entirely. The hint
ing even at such a calling out by any labor
union leader Cor miseader, rather would be
utterly shameless, and he should be instantly
arrested and promptly dealt with by the
grand jury, swiftly tried, convicted and
Gagged" for many years as just penalty for
his objectionable crime against not only the
public peace, but also the best interest of
legally organized labor unions themselves
This matter has gone sufficiently far along
the wrong road already TO justify our Gov
ornor in converting the Legislature in special
session to enact statute branding as a ser-
Gus, infamous crime the Sympathetic strike"
or the seeking to occasion il.
