New Cane Pest
Makes Appearance
In South Georgia

CAIRO, Ca, Nov. ia new and
serious pest has just been discovered
in several cane fields near Cairo,
just issued here by DR.. P. A. Yeder,
technologist, CT the bureau of plant
industry in conjunction with En-
tomologist T. E. Holloway, Of the
bureau of entomology, both Of the
United States department of agricul-
ture.
The pest is described as the gray
sugar cane mealybug, and, although
it has been in the Louisiana fields
and in tropical countries for num-
Der Of years, this is the first in
stance of it's being found in the
southeast.
Attention was first called to the
pest by a farmer living about eight
miles from Cairo. Specimens were sent
to government entomologists in
Louisiana and at Washington, and
it was definitely identified as the
gray mealybug.
Government officials say that the
full grown mealybug is about an
eighth of an inch long by about half
an inch wide. 1t has a plump, round
ed appearance, and is gray in color.
1t has six legs and can move about
slowly. but it usually inserts its bill
or beak into q cane stalk at a joint,
and sucks the juice out of the plant,
staying there unless disturbed,
Many of these females are often
crowded around the joints and may
be found under the leaf-sheaths by
pulling them away from the stalk.
The male however, is entirely d.f-
ferent, being a small winged in
sect.
The females lay clusters of eggs,
putting forth at the same time a
mealy or webby secretion which
forms a kind Of nest for the eggs.
The eggs soon hatch, and the young
resemble closely, EXCEPT in size, the

THOUSAND BUSHELS
Of APPLES WE RE
EXHIBITED At FAIR
BY JACK L. PATTERSON

The largest and most extensive ap-
pie display ever assembled in this
country by a single exhibitor was
that of the Consolidated Fruit Grow
ers' exchange, Cornelia, Ca, at the
recent Southeastern fair. The eXhi-
bit included more than 1000 bushels
and all the varieties that have be-
come famous among the mountains
Of Habersham and Rabun counties.
The exhibit was a conclusive dem
onstration of the superiority Of the
North Georgia Mountain apple. Top
ping the regularly arranged display
was trees conveyed from the or
chards of Habersham. The trees
were loaded with delicious fruit.
Among the varieties was the cele-
brated Arkansas Black" thought
by many to be the most beautiful
specimen in the world.
Five times as many people as re-
side in the city Of Atlanta might
each have procured an apple from
the exhibit. Facing each Of the two
central aisles in the Agricultural
building, the display extended half
the length Of that enormous struc.
ture. Passing it, down one side and
Of apples-red ones, yellow ones,
striped ones, big ones, little ones
and all the sizes between-banks of
apples 10 feet high and sloping grad
ually toward the center at the top.
And along the top a long line of
real apple trees and thousands of
real juicy apples hanging from the
twigs. And-since hundreds Of spar
rows were lured into the great build
ming the rear entrance Of the build
birds hopping about among the
branches. AS q background, span
ming tn erear entrance OF the build
ing, was a giant arch, bearing the
name of the exhibitor in artistic de
sign made of apples nailed to the
arch. At either pillar Of che arch was
a pyramid of apples.
The display was easily the out
standing exhibit of the 1922 fair, sur
passing in extent that Of any other
single exhibitor and, because of it's
beauty, attracting the attention of
everybody who entered the building.
The president Of the Toronto, Can
ada, exposition, who, for 80 years
has visited all the great fairs Of
the United States, declared it to be
the most artistic display he had ever
seen, and the largest display by a
single entrant that had ever corAo
within his observation.
These delicious Georgia apples
were on sale at many Of the booths,
besides the large store Of the ex-
change, and the comment of the
thousands of purchasers regarding
the excellence of quality was unqual-
flied.
The Consolidated Fruit Growers
Exchange is composed of 80 COM
mercial apple orchards in Haber
sham and Rabun counties, traverse6
by the picturesque mountains of the
Blue Ridge range. The apples are
graded, and packed in modern plants
located at Baldwin, Cornelia, Dem
crest and GAINESVILLE in Habersham
and Clayton and Mountain City in
Rabun county. In these packing
houses the machinery and equipment
are of the latest design and highest
order of efficiency. The manager Of
the exchange has absolute control
over grading and marketing the
fruit. Every box bears the exchange
label, which is a sufficient guarantee
Of quality.
