CROP PEST LETTER
BY Prof. j. G. Sanders, State Eco
nomic Zoologist.
THE ROSE CHAFER

VERY rose grower is more or
n, less bothered with the rose
- bug or rose chafer. 1t also
attacks cherries, grapes, peaches
and many other fruits. 1t is more
abundant in regions having sandy
soil than where heavy clays are
present, as the looser soil presents
better breeding facilities.
To protect the plants, fruits
and flowers from this pest spray
with sweetened arsenate of lead.
Add to fifty gallons of water 21a
pounds of powdered arsenate of
lead and two gallons of cheap
molasses. 1t is absolutely essen
tial that the spraying liquid be
sweetened. If not sweetened the
chafer will not eat it.
On grapes make an application
Just before they bloom again
after the bloom has fallen. If
not protected, it is possible for
the crop to be lost in few
hours by the insects eating the
blossoms.
In the case of fruit crops, ap-
ply with the first appearance of
the insects.
In rose gardens start spraying
when the rose chafer is due and
keep the foliage covered with the
sweetened spray. If you have
only a few rose bushes or grapes
to protect, use the arsenate of
lead at the rate of two table,
spoonfuls to a gallon of water
and four tablespoonfuls of mo-
lasses.
Rose chafers do not breed in
cultivated ground. If possible
break up and cultivate for a
season all uncultured ground III
the vicinity. 1t will greatly re-
duce the number of rose chafers.

the injured and have them cared

arms and laid them out against
the wall under a shed. didn't

Just then two lorries drew up

PROHIBITIONISTS WILL
PASS BONE DRY" LAW

Atlanta, Jan. 16.-That prohi-
bitionists are planning to attempt
the passage of bone dry" law
at the next session of the Georgia
legislature is conclusively shown
by the fact that Governor Harris
already has been asked to call an
extra session for the purpose of
securing early action on such
a measure.
While the governor is an ar
dent prohibitionist, having made
possible the enactment of the
present drastic laws by including
prohibition in his call for the ia

they were passed, he will not

AS the result OF the United
States Supreme Courts decision
unfolding the validity of the
Webb-kenyon act of congress, it
is illegal for state legislature to
pass an act prohibiting absolutely
the importation of any whiskey
into the bounds of state. Geor-
gia's prohibition law limits the
quantity to two quarts of wills
key, four quarts of wine and
forty-eight pints of beer within a
period of thirty days, although an
individual can only import one,
which is to say that if he imports
two quarts of whiskey he cannot
import any wine or beer, etc.
This limit was paced in the
Georgia law because the exact

The Cordelc Dispatch dcvotes

each five departments and two cX-
ira ones to balance ii up The
way its written IS very crcditablc
even ii the admitted ncHpcnencc
OF the writers is NOT taken into
consideration. The plan ON which
the Cordele School News is CON
Quoted makes it a great deal
easier to advertise me school and
to bring home to the patrons the
work the school is dong Our
column is for the primary purpose
OF giving the news as it happens
and that is abou, all one fellow
can do. We have the copy OF the
Dispatch for inspection and if any
student has inspiration toward
contributing to this column in the
same manner-comc on.
The editor OF this column in
vites any and all readers to send
letters for publication on any per-
tinent subject. We welcome
letters of criticism as we want to
make the column as valuable as
possible.
One thing the writer was glad
to note about the Cordele school
news was that no mention was
made OF the approaching school
meet. We hope the Cordele
folks forget there even is such a
thing till its all over.
The first basket bail game OF
the season was a splendid victory
for the Fitz-IIi team, q to II
over the Ashburn grants. The
victory carries mucn food for
thought. Ashburn defeated Cor
dele and Cordelc defeated Hawk

the inconsistency of The Dope

RAILROADS TO HAVE
LOW RATES TO FAIR

Atlanta, Ga, ian. 16-Through
the cooperation OF the railroads,
all of which are interested. in
bringing farmers to the South,
the lowest rates ever granted eX-
cept to great events like the Pan
ama-Pacihc Exposition have just
been announced for the South
eastern Land Show to be held in
Atlanta on Feb. | to Is.
The object OF the show, which
is modelled after the great land
shows Of Chicago and the north
west, is to exploit southern farm
lands and attract settlers. 1t is
a rather surprising and signifi-
cant fact that not more than 25
per cent of the cultivatable land
i'll the state of Georgia is now I'M
der cultivation, and the proper
ton in other southeastern states
similarly low.
Southeastern farm lands of all
kinds will be "on exhibit" at the
land show, the exhibits consisting
of samples of soils and products
and comprehensive data concern
ing the location and price of such
lands, the average climate and
rainfall, and other facts which
prospective purchasers will want
to know.
A big feature of the show will
be guarantee of the correctness
of all the facts and data concern
ing each and every exhibit. Lands
exhibited will be listed for sale
with the Burdett Realty Company
! of this city and investors can
make immediate purchases before
leaving Atlanta with the absolute
assurance that they are getting
what they pay for.
1t is expected that the show
will attract hundreds of prospect
i've settlers of a very, desirable
class from all parts of the country
and that a great impetus will be
given to the general farming in
terests of the entire southeast.
