Bermuda. It is especially adapted
to wet places, growing where water
covers the land all the while. Ii
can be propagated from cuttings
like Bermuda or possibly from its
seed. 1t should receive much more
attention than it has in the past.
Another paspalum recently intro
duced in Georgia is Vasseys Paspa-
Ium (Paspalum LarranegaD which
is somewhat like Dallis grass. 1t is
spreading rapidly, due to the large
number of fertile seed produced. 1t
has a value in pastures but not SO
great as Dallis grass.
There are several other species
adapted to special conditions. Slen-
DER Paspalum (Paspalum setaceum)
grows on the poorest and dryest
places, being common in Well-estab-
lished pastures all over the state.
1t grows in small punches and can
be distinguished by its slender,
hairy leaves Ciliate Paspalum
(Paspalum ciliatifolium) is also
widely scattered over the drier soils.
1t is larger than slender PaSpalum
and has leaves with hairs along the
edges. 1t furnishes quite a little
grazing. Other closely related
species (P. Supinum, P. debile, and
2. SUPPLEMENTARY are scattered
through south Georgia and add some
thing to the grazing of that section.
In the cultivated bottom lands
Hurrah grass (Pas. Boscianum),
sometimes called Bull grass, Chero-
kee grass and Crowfoot gives sum-
ger grazing, but will not last in a
pasture.
Giant Carpent grass is found
throughout lower south Georgia and
adds quite a bit of grazing to the
pastures and ranges in which it oc-
ours. 1t is similar to carpet grass,
but larger, and capable of growing
in wetter situations. For low, wet
heavy soils it may develop into
valuable plant Under ordinary con-
ditions it does not have as heavy
carrying capacity as ordinary carpet
grass.
The broomsedges, Of which there
are about a dozen kinds in Georgia,
furnish much of our native grazing.
Unless grazed closely they will be-
come tough and unpalatable. The
common kind (Andropogon Virgini-
cus) is the most widespread, being
very abundant in abandoned fields.
Little Blue Stem (Andropogon SEQ
parius), is more bunchy, curly
also, but in lands that have not
been cleared. Both are utilized to
a good extent and are regarded as
equals in value. Needle grass CAN

FIGHTING BLIGHT IN A PEAR
ORCHARD

w. NJ. W., carriers, Ca, writes:
have some pear trees of fine variety
that used to bear fine fruit, but they
blight badly now and the fruit is knotty
and hard inside. Is there q spray I
can use to kill the blight or is there
some other remedy that is better?
Pear blight is one of the Oldest
fungus diseases known to exist in
this country. 1t passes under va
rious names, such as fire blight,
twig blight and blossom blight. 1t
is very widely distributed throughout
the United States. 1t is more dis
astrous in its attack upon the pear
than any of it's other numerous
hosts. 1t is also parasite Of the
apple. The control of the pear blight
is very difficult, but the best method
of treatment is as follows:
Prune out the blight as soon as
it appears. This work should be done
in the fall and winter. It requires
very keen eyesight and extreme
care so as to make certain that
none of the blight escapes destruc-
ton. Going over the orchard sew
eral times is, therefore, very neces.
sary. Reinfection, of course, may
take place from distant orchard
In cutting back for blight it is very
necessary to cut beyond the APP
parently affected part of the limb
The shears should be thoroughly dis
infected before each new cut is made,
as carelessness in pruning may tend
to spread rather than check this
disease. a. a. t@h'

TO REMOVE TARNISH
FROM Three METALS
Rottenstone Mixed With Oil Is
Substance Most Used.
oxaITc Acid, euttermiik or Vinegar
Are Cleaning Agents Suggested by
Household Experts-WhItln0
Takes Up Moisture.

The tarnish on copper, brass and
bronze Is copper carbonate. 1t may be
removed by friction, or dissolved in
weak acids.
Rottenstone mixed with oil to a
creamy consistency is the common
substance used on these metals. After
this cleaner has been applied the
metal should be polished with a soft
cloth. A final rubbing with dry rotten
stone or whiting will give the metal
an even brighter luster.
Oxalic-acid solution, buttermilk or
vinegar. especially when warmed,
quickly dissolves the tarnish on these
metals. All traces Of these cleaning
agents must be removed, however, or
the metal will tarnish again very
quickly. say household specialists of
the United States department of agri-
culture. Washing the metal in water,
drying 1t, and rubbing 1t with dry
whiting is usually effective. The Witt
ing not only takes up moisture but
polishes by friction.

Wise housekeepers can have plenty
Of grape Juice for use not only as q
beverage but as flavoring In various
tempting desserts. The following d.
rections for making It are given BY the
United States department Of agricul.
ture:
Only clean, sound, well-Fipsned. but
not overripe grapes should be used.
These may be crushed by potato
masher or some similar implement, or
the Juice may be pressed out In an o..
dinary cider mill. Pour Immediately
into glass or enameled vessel and al
low It to stand overnight. Drain the
Juice from the sediment and run
through several thicknesses of clean
flannel. Pour into clean bottles, leav-
ing space at the top for the liquid to
expand when hot. Put bottles on
false bottom in a wash boiler, If no
commercial pasteurizer 10 available {;
fill boiler with water to within an
inch or so Of the tops Of the bottles.
Place thermometer In one Of the bot
ties and heat until the Juice reaches
temperature Of $50 degrees; then take
the bottles out and seal or cork them
Immediately. Only new corks that
have been soaked for 80 minutes in
water at a temperature Of about 40
degrees should be used. 1t is well to
take the further precaution Of sealing
the corks with parafan or sealing wax
to prevent the entrance Of mold germs.
Grape Juice may also be made by
adding one pint Of water to every i've
pounds Of grapes. Concords and Mag
aras make an acceptable product.
Crush the grapes, add the water,
bring nearly to boiling point, and
strain. Add one-half cupful Of granu-
lated sugar to every quart Of Juice.
Bring just to boil, pour into boiled
bottles or cans. place in water bath.
and boil ten minutes; seal air-tight.
Unfermented grape Juice properly
made and bottled will keep indefinitely
If not exposed to the atmosphere or to
infection from mold germs. When a
bottle is once opened, however, the
contents should be used as soon as
possible.
