FALL SPRAYING AGAINST SCALE
URGED BY ENTOMOLOGY BOARD

badly infested this single spraying
win be sufficient fer the control OF
the scale. But where trees are bad
ly infested, they should have two
sDrayings, one in the fall and another
IN the very early spring before the
buds begin to appear.
While the lime-sulphur solution
does net hurt the tree, it viii seri-
oualy injure leaves Or buds, and for
this reason spraying should always
be done while trees are dormant.
aust Spray for Good Fruit
IT makes no difference whether q
grower has only a few trees, or an
extensive orchard, with thousands Of
them; he must spray his trees to con-
troll the scale, if he wishes to get
good fruit.
when scale insects are allowed to
multiply, they slowly sap the life
OF the tree, affecting its producing
qualities, and they also set on the
fruit, giving it a scurfy appearance,
vivid discoloratior, and make it
worthless as a market product.

Georgia's Stock Hogs

From tiglres uttered by the Fed
eral Department Of Agriculture as
Of Of September I it is apparent
that the United States is facing a
serious and a very real problem in
the matter Of decreasing meat ami
mails, Particularly is this true Of
hogs, large numbers Of which have
been Killed in the past eighteen
months in the Western markets ON
account of the excessive cost Of feed
sNifs. Continued advance in Pork
prices merely adds to the acuteness
ot the situation,
For the year ending September / /,
last, there were 60,24o,Oo0 stock
hogs in the United States as com
pared with 65,645, 600 for the cor
responding period Of 1915. Geor-
gia IS one Of tho few states showing
am increase for the same period, the
stock hogs numbering 2,507 900,
which represents an appreciation
81 thirteen per cent over the pre-
aedipg year This stale ranks
fourta in hog production and these
figures should prove highly encour-
aging to the farmers. Ia no other
section Of the country can hogs be
raised more probably and with as
title care. Particularly is this

Atlanta, october. - Especial = In
these times Of imperative food con
seryation, it is more essential than
ever to eliminate or control the va
rious destructive insects which infest
stored grain and seeds in the South,
and sometimes destroy entire crops.
These insects include the Granary
weevil, Rice weevil, Saw-toothed Grain
beetle, Red or Square-necked Grain
beetle and the Angumois Grain Moth,
all of which seriously damage corn,
wheat, peas and other grains. It is
easy enough to recognize the Weeyils-
The moth is small and whitish color
ed, resembling the clothes moth.
The Standard Remedy
Carbon bisulphide, a liquid that
can be obtained at any drug store, is
the standard remedy for these pests.
When exposed it rapidly turrs into q
gas which is heavier than air.
TO get the best results the corn,
grain or peas should be placed tn
a bin or crib. as nearly air-tight as
possible. The gas is very penetrating
and will funigate whether the grain
is in bulk or il sacks.

Fall the Best Time
While spraying for San Jose scale
may be safely done at any time after
all the leaves are off the tree, fall
spraying is generally the best because
weather conditions are more favorable,
