WHITE-FIY FUNGUS NOW
AVAILABLE TO GROWERS
Rainy Season is the Best Time to
Spread Fungus

The period of summer rains has
been found to be the ideal time for
the starting and spreading in your
grove, the Red Aschersonia' and yell
low Aschersonia, fungi which are
both natural enemies of the common
and cloudy-wingcd whitefiy Of citrus.
For this purpose the chronological
Department of the State Plant Board
has ready for distribution at cost, to
the growers, pure cultures of these
fungi.
In using these cultures grown by
the Plant Board the grower elimi-
mates the chance of introducing new
insects and diseases into his grove
which he takes when using fungous
material collected from other groves.
This precaution should be particular
ly observed since the recent outbreak
of canker has occurred. In addition
a more uniform and rapid distribu-
ton of the fungus is made by the use
of cultures, than where natural
methods are depended on, as most of
the fungus of one season is lost
during the dry periods OF winter and
spring, SO that the smalAamOunt of
fungus left is slow in starting in the
summer.
A culture, the amount that can be
grown in a wide-mouthed pint bottle,
is sufficient to treat an acre of grove.
Directions for applying it are fur
nished with each order. The price
is rs cents a culture, cash with order,
including postage.
In ordering cultures DR.. L. w.

raising Of spring calves as there are

The most important thing about
artificial feeding is to see that the

calves at the same degree Of tempera-

amounts of bran, ground oats and
corn meal to take the place of the
nourishment found in butter fat.
In case scours occurs, the best
plan is to reduce the feed of the calf
one-half or more, and clean out the
digestive tract with a light dose of
castor oil, Some farmers find that a
little lime water or parched -four will
help in checking scours.
Young calves are rather suscepti-

Watch for scab on Late Bloom

Owing to the unusual seasonal con.
ditions this year there was great
deal of late bloom on citrus. The
crop from this late bloom is apt TO be
attacked by scab during the rainy
season OF July and August and made
ursalable, unless something is done
to check the scab, according to DR..
o. F. Burger, plant pathologist.
July is the most critical time for this
bloom, says DR.. Burger, and a spray
ing with 4bordeaux-oil, (3-S-50 Dor
deaux and l percent oil emulsion) &,
is recommended for about the middle
of July. The use of bordeaux-oil will
serve to keep the scale insects in con-
troll, while bordeaux alone has no
effect on them. The same spraying
will also help control melanose.

Stuffy Stewart in
 Town to Join the
 Barons Thursday

Stuffy Stewart. veteran Baronial infielder who has just returned from try-out with the Pittsburg Pirates, did not join the team in New Orleans, as was expected. las arrived in Birmingham. Stuffy will join the Barons here Thursday when the To- cal Southern leaguers return from a series at New Orleans
 Stewart is as pepper as ever, and is anxiously awaiting the time when he will again don Baronial uniform. He is expecting to have his best year with the Barons this season.
 With Stewart in the lineup, the Baron infield will be consid- erably strengthened. With three youngsters holding down the first three infield positions, it seems that veteran Is needed to steady the works. and Stewards work with she Barons last season proves he is the veteran for the job.
 The Barons return to Birmingham tomorrow to open series with the Mobile Bears. after winning two out of three games at Mobile. and losing two of the games already played at New Orleans.

Walker and Graham to Be RiuaL HurLers To-day

Babe Ruth" Graham opposing him for the Partners.
 The teams will enter the game on about even terms, as Howard has the advantage of the game being played on her home lot while Panthers have been much more actively engaged than the East Lakers have.
 The Partners copped the first game of the series some time ago, winning a 5-2 victory in Munger bowl. The Bulldogs, however, will be out for revenge this afternoon and may give the Hilltoppers gobs of trouble in stopping their efforts.
 "Gabe Graham" elongated Panther southpaw, has been going great guns ever since the season got underway. He was the twirler who got credit for the defeat of Auburn and Sewa- nee earlier in the season. There Is a possibility that Coach Brown may run "Feedem' Oates, midget twirler, in against the Bulldogs. Oates is an experienced little pitcher with a won- derful hop and plenty of steam.
 sLouse" Walker is acknowledged the ace of the Bulldogs pitchings staff, and is expected to cause the Panthers trouble. Walker has pitched very little during the present cam paign however, and Coach Marshall may not start him today
 The Partners hitters have been on a rampage during the entire season, gleaning more hits than their oppo- nents in almost every game. Their. hitting on the road trip last week boosted their average considerably.

PeLs Find Eberhardps s Offerings Easy To Hit
 And Barons Lose, SO
Clarke Gets Four Hits For BaronS = Fuckers Great Throwing Cuts Off BaroniaI Runs in Second Encounter of Series

New Orleans. April 25-(SpeciaI) Alright support behind Joe Mar tina in the pinches and signor Joe's own steadiness when danger threat ened, and the timely hitting and daring base running of the PelCans gave the Pelicans an easy to o victory over the Barons. In the Sec ond game of the series this afternoon at Heineman park.
 Though the Barons obtained 10 hits-two moro than were annexed by the locals-they were so helpless after getting on the sacks the game was one sided.
 Standing out in the Pelican de- fense was the deadly begging of Dan Tucker.
 Eberhard's Hard Luck
 Mike Eberhard, who started on the hill for the Barons, experienced some real fought luck right off the reel, or he might have done better.
 His own wildness got him into trouble. After the Barons had been up and three down in the opening half of the first. Bogart led the Pel- ican attack by working Eberhard for pass. Gilbert hit to third and Bogey was forced at second. Henry walked, Tucker hit to Neun, who booted the ball, then wound up by throwing wild to Eberhard at first, Gilbert scoring, Henry going to third and Tucker to second.
 Andy Foss at that point contrib uted a single to center, bringing home Henry and Tucker. Foss went out trying to steal, and Knaupp famed.
 Though Clarke tripled with one out in Birmingham second, he died at third when Burkett struck out and Henry retired Krehmyer Eber-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-04-26

hard retired tho Pelicans in order in their second, and when Martina benched the Barons in their third, I1berhard came right back and made it three in row again.
 Taylor Gets PaImbeach
 With one out in Birmingham s fourth, Harper singled to right. Fay Tor plastered one against the Palm beach sign in left. Harper's unwil lingness to advance because of Bo- gart's threatening pose under the ball held Taylor to a single, but he'll gain Palmbeach suit anyhow, and probably feels just as well satisfied Clarke drove a clean bingle into right field. Picking up the ball on the run, Tucker lined 1t to the plate so swift ly, so accurately and so far ahead of Harper, that Harp turned around and beat it back to third. Burkett lifted a fly which Tucker pulled down in short right. Again Tucker threw to the plate; and again his peg was so deadly that Harper changed his mind and ran back to third. Martina then famed Krehmyer and three Barons died horrible death.
 Terrible Tucker
 Eberhard continued unbeatable pitching in the Pels' fourth. In Bir- mingham's fifth, after two were down and Silva on first. Nuen singled against the right field fence, Tucker narrowly missing cutting Silva down with a magnificent peg to third. Harper popped out to Knaupp, killing another rally. The Pels scored in later innings, but the tallies were not needed.
 Taylor and Clark led off Birming- hams sixth with singles, but stayed where they were while Bogart ham dled flies by Burkett and Krehmyer. and Knaupp got under Robertson's fly. The Pels went out in order in their sixth, Martina treating the Barons likewise in the first of the seventh.
 Bnrons Have Chance
 Again in their eighth. did Birming- ham have a sterling chance to score. and failed. with one down. Taylor sin gled to right and Clark singled to left. Burkett flied to Gilbert, and Kane. hitting for Krehmyer, ground ed out. short to first, Smith throw ing him out from the grass.
 The Barons were hep1ess before Martina in their last.
 Rain, which started to fall in the sixth Inning, held off lightly. and the game was not interrupted.
 George McQuilan. for the Pels, and Earl Whitehin, for Birmingham. are the probable pitchers for this after noon's game, which will start at 4;l5 because of the Knights Templar drill.
