TWENTY PUREBRED
BULLS FOR GLYNN
Farmers There Receive Fine
Sires AS First Step in Up
building of Herds

BRUNSWICK, May 5.-The
purchase of purebred bulls through
aid of the Glynn county commits
sioners will probably mark a new
era in cattle raising in this section.
As has been published, the idea
originated with the board of Glyun
county commissioners, who made it
possible to bring the animals here
and dispose of them on an install
ment payment plan.
The delivery of twenty purebred
bulls occurred yesterday afternoon
and the following were the purchas-
ers: J. B. D. Paulk, Anguilla, A A.
O. Townsend, Anguilla, /; R. NJ.
Scarlet, Fancy Bluff, 2; r. S.

Bladen, 1 j. D. Gould, st. Simon's,
/; B. w. Arnett, Mt. Pleasant, /
R, E. Price, Kingsland, Camden
county, /.
Every one of the animals are Of
aberdeen angus stock and all of the
herd is eligible for registry. 1t will
be seen from the locations of tie
places of the purchasers of the stoch
that they will be thoroughly scatter
ed over the county, practically
every militia district getting one or
more of the animals. The total
cost was $1,3O5, but this figure does
not include the four head purchased
by Mr.. Paulk. A large number went
out yesterday to look at the fine
specimen and all pronounced them
perfect.

PICK UP DROPS IN

Experts Advise Gathering and
Destruction of All Fallen
Fruit Beneath Trees

FORT VALLEY, May 5.-Ex-
perts attached to the government
and state laboratory here state
that a large percentage of the small
peaches that are now falling are
infested with curculio larvae, or
worms" This fact indicates that
many adult curculios are present
in the peach orchards of Middle
Georgia, Notwithstanding the un-
usually cold winter which caused
some to believe that the insect had
been pretty we'll killed out. Grow
ers are, therefore, advised to starr
Immediately to pick up all small
peaches that fall prematurely, in
order to reduce the number of cur.
culos in orchards. In some years
the majority of the worms" in the
Hiley's, Georgia Bellies, and Elber-
tas at harvest are second-genera-
ton worms" the eggs of which
We're deposited by adults that re-
suited from worms" in the
peaches dropped in April and May.
If these drops are picked up ana
and destroyed the numbers of the
second brood of worms" will be
materially reduced, by preventing
thousands of worms" of the first
brood from reaching the adult
stage. The eggs for the destructive
second brood of worms are de-
posted by these first-generation
adults.
Experiments conducted by this
Laboratory show that three collec-
tions Of dropped peaches will eli
inmate about 80 per cent of all Gun,
culio worms" that fall during the
season in peach drops" The first
collection should be made about q
week after the small peaches pc
gin to fall, and the other two at
intervals Of five or six days. A
special effort should be made to
collect first the smallest peaches
that drop, as the smallest drops"
are the most likely to contain cur
culio worms" All drops" should
be destroyed as soon as thew are
collected by burying in trench
ll8 to "a inches below the surface
of the soil. A layer of ouicklime
should be placed over the drops
before filling in with soil. The
worms" can be destroyed by boil
ing the drops" if this can be con
veniently done. Burning drops
has not proved very satisfactory.
