Melons and Peaches
Speeding to Markets

Georgia watermelons, which
like peaches and other lucious
edibles, have made Georgia
famous throughout the country,
are speeding to the markets. A
full train load from South GeOr-
gia territory has been handled
by the Atlanta, Birmingham &
Atlantic railroads and officials of
the system report that many car
loads will be shipped during the
season from various points on its
line.
Last years Georgia water
melon crop was 1900 carloads
less than the crop of 1921, and
the 1921 crop was 2,C00 carloads
under the production Of 1920,
which was 16, 900 carloads. This
years crop will be 10000 car
loads, according to latest esti-
mates, and will go to the markets
somedays behind the average
shipping dates of the last several
seasons. Watermelons consti-
tute anE'important money crop in
a number of South Georgia
counties, which the A. B. and A.
railway traverses, and generally
good prices for this years crop
seem to be in prospect.

1t destroys the germs.

AS this is Of great Importance
for the success of the plan the
cotton should be gone over the
second time, right after the first
picking, so as to remove any
squares. missed. This will take
only about Ito of the time of
the first picking. 1t is not nee
essary to remove the very small
squares as eggs laid in these will
not hatch, but only squares
whose bracks or shucks are large
enough to hide a weevil.
Poison should take place as
soon after picking the squares as
possible. Unless it looks like
rain it is a good plan to stop
some Of the pickers about 5
O'Clock in the evening and poison
all the cotton that has been pick
ed over that day. The mop
should he stuck down into the
bud Of the cotton plant, so as to
get a little Of the mixture in each
bud. All the squares being re
moved the weevils will make for
the bud of the cotton. so that
the poison is much more effective
than when applied without strip
ping. If the poison stays on un-
til II o'clock the next day it will
not be necessary to poison again,
but if the poison is washed off
by rains before that time the
poisoning should he repeated.
Dust can be used instead of the
mixture, but it must stay on 3
or 4 days to be effective. 1t
should be forced down we'll into
the bud of the plant.
Even when the greatest care
is takened it some times hap
pens that a few Weevils are mis-
sed. So ten days to two weeks
sitter picking the squares walk
through, the treated fields and if
a weevil has been missing stop
and get all the punctured squares
within a radius Of 10 or Is feet.
Farmers who wish to try out
this method on their own farm
can still do so. DR.. Smith states
that it can be successfully az
piled even after the cotton has
started to bloom and a few small
boIls have formed. When ap-
piled as late las this, however,
the labor connected with remov-
ing the squares is much greater.

Florida Method OF
Boil Weevil Control

W ILE IOIlud ltu VI COIl u OlllhS
the boil weevil, DR.. George d.
Smith, of the Florida Station
and originator of the method,
was invited to visit the Georgia
Experiment Station and describe
the details of his methods for
the benefit of the farmers who
could attend. Since then there
has been numerous requests
farmers for description of DR..
Smiths method. These are
given below substantially as
made by DR.. Smith in his address.
AS yet there has been no op-
portunity to try out this method
under Georgia conditions as DR..
Smith published his results only
last fall. This year the Georgia
Experiment Station is making
thorough trial Of this method
under Georgia conditions. and
farmers interested are invited to
visit the Station and see the
results. DR.. Smith claimed that
his method is simple, practical.
and logical when compared with
other methods. He has used it
four years successfully under
Florida conditions and sees no
reason why it should not be sue
cessfully applied under Georgia
conditions.
The material needed for ap-
plying this method are few and
easily obtained. Each picker
should be provided with small
sack with double draw string
in it so it can be closed tightly.
Two of these sacks can be made
from a yard Of cotton cloth. A
mop made with a short stick
with a rag tied at the end, and
a mixture made by STIR
ring two pounds of calcium ar
senate in 1-2 gallon of water and
then adding one gallon of mo-
lasses. Some large close woven
sacks are useful for disposing Of
the picked squares.
In using this method all the
with the Weevils they
contain, are removed from the
cotton; when there are two or
three large squares to each plant.
The field is then Immediately
poisoned, SO as to destroy any
weevils which escape the pickers.
AS all the weevils will be out of
their winter quarters by this
time, and all the eggs destroyed
by removing the squares, and
SO per cent Of the adult weevils
killed by the pickers or the poi
son. There will be so few wee
wills left that practically a full
crop may be obtained. Further
more, DR.. Smiths experiments
show that removing the first
squares stimulates the cotton
plants in such a way that the
bottom, middle, and top crops
are produced at about the same
time. This enables the farmer
to get practically a full crop be-
fore the weevil begins to mi
CRATE. Also it leaves one or two
pickings.
A good picker can pick about
one acre day. The small bags
with draw strings should be
used so as to prevent any Weevlls
escaping. When they are full
they should be empticd into the
large closely woven bags. These
bags should be kept securely
tied. When they are full the
weeviIs may be destroyed by
burning or the bags kept in hot
for 48 hours. The
gleen squares will heat and kill
the weevils.
1t is impossible to be certain
that all the squares are removed
by going over the cotton once.

navy experimentation and develop
ments promise to be invaluable to
the development of aircraft for
civilian use. I look to the day when
aircraft will be a tremendous COM
mercial asset, and the navy and
army more than any other agencies
are bringing that day forward. Along
the whole path of our progress, 1t Is
astounding the number of mile
stones hat have been checked off by
the navy. While defense has been
the prime object, the civilian by
products that have resulted from
naval experimentation and study
have in themselves been worth u
whole naval expenditures!
THE lesson of Navy Day.? 1t Is
this:
"Our freedom, the safety of our
| families, the institutions we prize, all
demand that we maintain a proper
defense.
FOR the sake of our children and
their children's children we must

WASHINGTON. Oct. 27-Navy
Day, Oct. 81.
Piacards and posters with this
cryptic message are plastered all
over our towns and cities-east,
west, north and south. What does
it mean? Wasn't u whole navy
program and policy settled two years
ago by the Conference of Limilta-
ton of Armament?
Seeking the answer to these ques-
tions at the source, l went to see
Theodore Roosevelt, acting secretary
of navy during the absence, with an
injured foot, of Secretary DENLY.
Nav Day, by the way, also is the
birthday anniversary of Roosevelts
famous father. the great Teddy"
"What's this Navy Day thing?" l
inquired. "Why is Navy Day? What
is it? What's the big idea behind
1.-THE whole thing?"
q The acting secretary grinned a
"Fine!" he exclaimed. You're
skiing just the question we want
Herybody to ask. Smoke q cigaret?
Got a match?"
Matches and cigarets traded, and
the smokes going good. Roosevelt
got down to cases.
Educational
Navy Day" he said, lis a day set
aside specially for informing the
public on the importance and needs
of the navy. 1t is a day to catch the
interest of citizens everywhere-ln
the middle west and west as well as
along the coast-on the subject OF
our naval development.
"Prior to the conference on naval
limitation, our naval programs were
ALWAYS shaped by the tug-of-war
between the big and the little navy
folks; between those who wanted us
to have incomparably the strongest
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-10-27

navy on earth and those who wanted
virtually no navy at all.
The arms conference for the first
time, gave us a definite mark at
which to aim. 1t committed us to a
definite naval policy-that of p
navy equal to Great Britain's and
40 per cent larger than any other
navy.
Navy Unbalanced
"At this time we have not got a
treaty navy. Dur naval strength Is
not balanced. We lack essential ele-
ments, including mine-laying sub
marines, scout submarines, scout
cruisers and certain m~odernized
| equipment on board u capital
| ships. Our mission is now to create
a balanced and adequate treaty
navy. We will undertake no build
ing plans in the unrestricted classes
which might be said to reopen nave
competition, but we must endeavor
to put ourselves on a parity with the
ratio allowed us.
"Of course the prime reason for a
| navy is defense. Our navy Is the
shield which prevents an enemy
from striking at our vitals. 1t is
also the right arm of the State De-
partment, visualzing and translat-
ing its policies into action.
"But as an aid to civilian progress
| the navy also is a tremendous factor.
Andrew Carnegie once said that the
navy was responsible for the de-
velopment of the vast steel industry
In this country.
"The navy was the parent of the
terrific radio development of the
past few years. The first broadcast
ing was done by the navy from Ar
lington as long ago as 1905. The de-
velopment of radio has been in no
small part due to the constant ex-
Fermentation of the navy.
