Atlanta, Ga, Especial In
its recent campaigns designed to pre-
pare Georgia farmers for the fight they
must make against the Mexican cot
ton boil Weevil, the State Board Of
Entomology and its representatives
have urged as one of the important
factors, the planting of home gardens.
The value of the home garden was
urged in every one of the fifty or more
meetings held in various south Geor-
gia counties this year The campaign
has been taken up in almost every
town and city in the state; back yards
and vacant lots, wherever they are
available, are being converted into
home gardens in the effort to lower
the ever increasing cost of living. The
home garden is recognized as indis
pensable on the farm, and along with
it truck farming as a business is re-
ceiving more and more attention and
growing in importance throughout the
state every year. Georgians, particu-
larly in the middle and southern sec
items of the state, should have home
gardens all the year around. There
are several vegetables which will stand
the winter climate and which can be
grown in the open during the winter
months
To Control Garden Pests
Recognizing the growing value both
Of the home garden and the truck farm
ing industry, the State Board of Ento-
mology has made special study of
insects and diseases which attack
truck crops and has prepared a bulle-
tin describing these and the best
methods for their control. The intor-
nation contained in this bulletin VIII
be found valuable to practically every
gardener in Georgia. A copy Of 1t Will
be sent upon request addressed to the
State Board of Entomology, State Cap
itCI, Atlanta, Ga.
Many truck crops are susceptible TO
attack by nematode worms winch
cause the formation of knots on the
roots of the plant. Among the plants
most severely injured by this worm
are beans, beetS, cantal0upeG, celery,
clover, cucumbers, egg plant, lettuce
okra, potato, satisfy, squash, tomatoes,
watermelon and others. On the other
hand, there are many varieties which
are immune to attack The nematode
can be eradicated only by cultural
methods or proper rotation of crops.
BY planting immune crops IN INFESTED
areas for d few years, the nematodeS
will die Of starvation. There are va
rious ways of treating seed beds to
destroy the nematode, and the pur-
chaser of plants such as tomatoes,
cabbage, egg plant, etc, should be sure
thew are grown in soil which is free
from this worm.
At times the red spider IS partlcu-
larry injurious to certain garden Vege-

MAKES FINE JELLY
FROM MAY HAWS

w. p Hall, a well known farmer
who lives on Route c from Cordele,
believes in taking advantage of every
chance to cut down the high cost of
living and conserving the food sup
plies Incidentally, Mrs. Hall is a fin
:shed artist when it comes to cooking
jelly, and with as good a product as
May haws as a basis she can make
some of the finest, clearest l9lly you
ever laid your peppers on.
Thursday Mr.. Hall brought seventy
two glasses of this fine jelly to the
city and disposed of it in few min
utes at ten cents per glass. He ex-
poets to bring another supply to the
city in a few days.
The May haws are not as good quail
ity this year as they have been of
recent years, but hundreds of house
wives are gathering them for the pur-
pose of making jelly.

There were twenty incoming

animation A. Quarantine-a number
which would have been regarded as
remarkable In days OF peace before
there was any danger OF submarine
blockados. and especially notable TO
shipping men inasmuch as most OF
them were boats which had passed
through the danger zone marked out
by the German ruthless destruction
order.
Among them were the Belgian
steamships Rcpubllea Argentina from
Rotterdam, Hainaut from Calais, and
Leopold II. from Rotterdam. British
ships in the feet were the great White
star f.Oighter Canopic from the Med
iterr1ncan, the Buffalo from Hull and
tho Islo OF Lewis from Amsterdam.
France was represented by tho Hon
duraB from bordeaux.
Out OF the war zone also came

such as the A. A. Raven, Y. s., from
Wales: tho Pendrecht, Holland, from
Rotterdam; the Virginian, U. g., from
Naples; the Vinland, Norwegian,
from st. Jago, and the Aztec, Z. s..
also from Havre.
Other ships which rounded out the
waiting fleet were the Danish JellinS
from Guantanamo. the British Mon
tora from Australia, the American
Yenrut from CienfueGos, Cuba, the
Spanish Neguri from Seville, the Am
Crican city OF Gaspe from Jamaica,
the swedish Algierie from Lisbon and
