Points About
Planting An Orchard
T. H. Mediation, Prof. Horticulture,
Ga. State College OF Agriculture.

va. 0baNS NOhSSS VI agriculture.
Orchards should be planted in Geor-
gia before Christmas, though they are
sometimes planted later. Get the
plants delivered about the last of No
vember. When they arrive heel or
bank them till ready to set out This
is done by digging a trench on the
north side CT hill or house, putting
the roots of the trees therein and COW
ering them.
Peaches and trees that grow to sim
liar size should be set about 20 feet
apart each way, pears twenty-five feet
apart; apples 35 to 40 feet apart and
pecans SO feet apart
Dig hole about two feet square
and two feet deep, pecans to 4 feet
deep. Put the top soil>and some well
decomposed barnyard manure, or a
pound or more of cottonseed meal or
bone meal in the bottom of the hole
mixing well. Prune off all twisted and
broken roots from the trees, set in
center of the hole and begin to fill
with top soil. Pack down thoroughly
as the dirt is being thrown in. Fill
higher than the surrounding surface.
The tree will show how deep it has
been in the nursery. Do not set in
the orchard more than one inch deeper
than that
After planting, prune the tree back.
Peaches should be left from 1 foot to
IL inches and apples Is inches to 2
feet high

Kill the WeeviIs
In Stored Grain

State College OF Agriculture.

John r. Fain, Prof. Agronomy, Ga.
State College OF Agriculture.
In the southern part of Georgia es-
pecially, the grain weevil will do great
damage to stored grain. Seed grain
especially requires protection. The
grain should be treated with carbon
bisulphide. One pound of the LIQUID
put in cup On top of the grain will
treat one ton of grain. The fumes
from the carbon-bisulphide being heav-
Ter than air sink down through the
pile of grain and destroy the weevils.
The grain should be in a tight bin,
barrels or other receptacles that can
be closed tightly Until the treatment
is complete, no one should approach
the treated grain with a light, burn
ing pipe or fire in any form The gas
produced is highly explosive
Two insects cause the weevil dana
agAs the granery weevil and the an
goumois moth. To be on the safe side
1t would be well to treat grain imme-
diately after storing and again in the
latter part of winter Corn taken from
stalks that have been stripped of their
fodder is infested with weevils worse
than corn not stripped because the
fodder-stripped corn has tendency
to open its husks and let the insects in.
If a community desires to buy car
bon-bisulphide cheaply the College of
Agriculture can provide information as
to how TO save money.

Dairy Profits From
Right Breeding
w. H. HOWELL, Field Agt. Dairying
Ga. State College OF Aeri.


Georgia must have better cows.
Only one-third of them pay for the
feed they eat. A profitable dairy COW
inherits ability to give large amount
of milk, through right breeding. The
scrub sire is responsible for most of
the robber cows.
That well-bred bull will get daugh-
tiers that will be better mich cows
than were their dams, is proven by
the records.
The best information available deal
ing with the transmission Of dairy
characteristics by the bull to his
daughters comes from the Jersey herd
of Prof G. H. Eckles, of the Mis-
souri, Experiment Station, where com.
plete butterfat records have been kept
of every COW since 1892. The first bull
used was Missouri Rioter from a good
sire but mediocre dam.
The daughters gave less milk and
fat than their dams. In every case
the daughter was inferior to her dam
The next bull used was Hugorotus
a cheap bull without any high class
animals in his pedigree This bull
had eleven daughters with a total Of
fifty lactation periods with dams witt
sixty-two lactation periods. The rec
ords are as follows:
Dams. Daughters
Average yield
of milk 1869 lbs. 4,567 lbs
Average p er
cent of fat 4.66 $40
Average yield
of fat in lbs, 231 lbs. 245 lbs
The general results of using thi:
bull were disastrous.
The next bull used was Lorne o
Meridale. This bull had a splendiC
pedigree from the standpoint of rec
ords of production and his daughter,

Some Farm Saving Hints

Georgia farmers waste needlessly a
great deal of their investment in farm
machinery by failure to properly store
and take care of it when through with
it in the field Collect the farm ma
chinery in the tool shed. If there is
no tool shed the Department of Agri-
cultural Engineering of the College of
Agriculture will furnish plans and a
bill of materials for one free.
Clean the machinery thoroughly and
cover all bright parts with a heavy
OIL Clean out oil holes and plug
them with wood or waste.
Put on Paint. Nothing adds to the
appearance of farmstead as much
as paint and whitewash The selling
price is added to very greatly. The
structures are preserved and their an
nual depreciation decreased A full
set of formulas and advice as to the
application of paints and white washes
will be sent to all farmers of the
state upon application to the Depart
ment of Agricultural Engineering of
the College.
Convenient Farm Buildings. An
enormous loss of time results from
poorly designed arrangements for feed
ing livestock on the farm. The build
ings have not been designed with lit
tie thought of labor saving The Agri-
cultural Engineering Department of
the College of Agriculture can pro-
vide sets of plans for farm buildings
which will mean much saving of time
