Many Enlist Ia The Navy. Do 1t.


More men are enlisting in the
Navy now than ever before in the
history of the country. These are
the young men who are an honor
10 themselves and their country and
Of whom every real American has
just reason TO beproud There are
thousands more men just like these
and the Navy needs their service
not sometime, if we have war, but
NOW.
The duty Of filling the Navy rests
primarily with the citizens Of this
country, and every American citi-
zen who is worthy Of the name
should do his part in helping to
man our ships. Ships have beer
built for the defense of the country,
and now it is up to the people to
man them. There is no time to
lose. If the Navy is called, we
want every unit of the fleet to 60
out fully manned with trained men.
There is a prevalent idea among
civilians that the only time to
render service to your county is in
time OF war. " Also there has been
SO much 81 talk to the effect that
we can rise up in our might over
| night and send forth an invineible
Navy and Army that some believe
lit. Such flase ideas are to be
deplored and should be dispelled at
once. Men for the Navy must be
trained before they can render their
country efficient service.
1t is to be regretted that some
parents not only use theirinfuence
to prevent their sons from enllsting
but in many cases refuse to sign the
age certificate required. 1t is the
patriotic privilege Of parents to in
culcate in their sons love Of coup-
try and that bis first duty is to his
country and those who fail do not
their duty clearly.
It is urged on all leaders Of com
munlty thought 70 consider serious
ly the critical situation, the impera-
tive need Of the Navy the necessity
to be prepared to act quickly, and
to cooperate with recruiting Of
fcers in putting the facts squareIy
before the people.

PECAN TREES NEED ATTENTION,
SAYS STATE ENTOMOLOGY BOARD

/, by destroying the buds. The adult
of this insects is a notified gray moth
which, with wings spread, is about an
inch across. During the summer the
larvae feed upon the leaves and in
the fall upon the twigs. The accepted
method of controlling the case-bearer
is spray of arsenate Of lead applied
some time during August or the first
week in September. In this manner
a large percentage Of these insects is
killed.
There are varieties which are more
OF less resistant to the case-beareF,
and it may be possible through the
planting of these and proper use of
the spray to keep them practically
eliminated from the orchard
There are other kinds of case-bear-
ers which attack the pecan, but far
less frequently. One of these is the
pecan cigar case-bearer, and another
the pecan nut case-bearer, a new conner
to Georgia. Study of the control
of this latter insect is now being made
by the State Board of Entomology.
5orers Do Much Damage
Pecan trees are frequently attacked
by boring insects just as are peach
and other fruit trees. This insect is
largely local, although it has dene ex-
tensive damage in those areas where
it has been prevalent The fiat headed
borers are the most abundant and most
destructive of this type Of insect. They
are fiat, hard, shiny beetles about half
an inch long. They bore into the bark
hot ho,
The most satisfactory method of com
batting these insects is to dig them out
with knife, after which the tree
should be painted to prevent further
decay.
Examine oak and persimmon trees.
If located near pecan grove, for the
beetles known as pecan twig girdIers.
These insects prune off small limbs
and twigs and in many sections work
serious destruction. The only known
method of control for this pest is to
gather and burn the infested limbs in
the fall.
Pecan caterpillars
The pecan bud moth, a pale green
worm of caterpillar variety with dark
head which first comes in May. is con-
trolled by the arSenate OF lead spray
The fall web worm, the grayish cater.
pillar which natures in large white
web in the fall. should be burned off
with kerosene or a light wood torch
before they leave the web The arse.
nate of lead spray also helps.
The only known way to control the
pecan or hickory nut weevu which
bores holes in the nuts, is to boy m
the infected nuts so that the larvae
cannot get into the ground.
The State Board of Entomologv is
vigorously pushing its experimental
work for the control of the various
insects and diseases which attack the
pecan, and all the information which
it has gathered is at the disposal Of
any one interested, if he viii write

23-7t 1.-THE Right Way"
The Lee County journal. (Leesburg, Ga.) 1904-19??, 1917-03-30

Atlanta, March.-(Special. )-Rapid
growth OF the pecan industry in Geor-
gia has made more important than
ever the dissemination of knowledge
regarding the proper control OF the
diseases and insect pests which attack
the tree and its fruit.
There are only two diseases OF any
moment which attack Georgia pecan
trees. These are pecan scab and pc
can rosette, and Of the two the former
ID the most widespread and destrue'
tive In this state. Pecan rosette is
fungus disease which attacks the
twigs OF the tree, causing them to die
and drop off in the fall. There is no
known remedy that is effective against
it.
But 1t is pecan scab which Georgia
growers, on account Of its widespread
prevalence in certain areas, have most
to fear. Pecan scab, the most serious
disease affecting the pecan, Is caused
by a fungus which enters the tissues
Of the leaves and nuts and seriously
affects their development. The small
black pustules Of the scab on leaves
and nuts may sometimes be so numer-
Gus as practically to cover the entire
surface. Its effect is to dwarf the nut
and prevent 1t from maturing, some
times causing 1t to drop from the tree
In an immature state. .
Resistant Varieties
II Is a peculiar fact that there are
not only varieties which are resistant
10 scab but that different varieties
resist II in greater or less degree in
d,fferent sections. Very wet seasons
also promote the growth of the fun
gus. while in dry seasons its enect
NAV be hardly noticeable.
while various fungicides have been
used to control pecan scab, the best
results have been obtained so far by
snravInr the trees with Bordeaux mix
ture at the strength Of $3.50. Tne
times for spraying cannot be laid down
an ! set rule; it must depend largely
mon the seasons. There is less occa-
sion or necessity for spraying during
a long dry season, but in wet seasons
frequent sprayings are important
GENERALLY speaking, it is best TO spray
6rst lust before the buds begin 70
swell ii the spring, then again N
Inne and In July and in August Splen-
aid results have been obtained through
careful spraying which is made to &C
cord with the nature Of the season.
About Forty insects
While there are only two diseases,
there are approximately forty insects
which attack the pecan. Only a few
of these. however. are so numerous
and SO widely prevalent in Georgia as
TO cause extensive damage.
One Of the worst Of these insects is
the pecan case-bearer, q serious enemy
OF the tree, which prunes on leaves
and twIgs and reduces the nut yield
