ERADICATE THE White GRUBs
Of Strawberries Should a.
Careful In Selecting Land-Best
to Avoid Sod Lands.

strawberry growers who are trou-
oied with white grubworms should be
careful in selecting the land upou
which the plants r to be set. Sod
n according to ]. r. Watson. en-
tomologist to the University of F1ort-
ia experiment station. is apt to be in
tested with the worms. He advises
that the land be given to some crop
not injured by the grubs for two or
three years after the sod is turned
under. If the grower cannot wait
that long. he might pasture pigs on
the land six months before planting
Pigs root the grubs out and eat them
II stable or barnyard manure is used
as fertilizer, it might be well to mix
with 1t from 200 to 400 pounds of cya-
hide to the acre It Is possible that
cannot be obtained. About
100 pounds of sulphur or enough to
slightly color the manure might he
added. The sulphur can be applied
between the rows.
Neither of these substances will kin
the grubs. but they act as repellen,s
and will probably drive the erubs
away. The best method, however. il
to avoid sod lands.

HILL MEN GET VICTORY.

Big Convention at Memphis Selects

route. although there are a number of
minor points of difference that still
remain to be settled.

started within three months and then
will appeal to the Jefferson Davis
Highway Commission to name their
road the Mississippi section of the JEFF

The hill route advocates have made
preliminary arrangements for a meet
Ing to be held at Grenada, Miss, with
in 80 days, to make definite plans for.
starting work On the road, as provided
in a majority committee report, which
officially awarded the name of JEFF
ferson Davis Highway to the hill route.
The two hill routes, from which is
yet to be selected the official route for
the highway, are as follows:
Nc. From Memphis through Her
nando. Senatobia, Sardis, Batesville to
Grenada.
No. From Memphis to Olive
Branch, independence, Tyro, Oxford,

There is no quarrel among the hill
