THE STANDARD SPRAY FOR
PLANT DISEASES IS THE
MORDEAUX MIXTURE.
Stock solutions may be made now
for the season's operations and kept
on hand tor use when needed. To
make this solution, dissolve bluestone
<cooper sulphate) in water at the rate
of one pound of bluestone to one gallon
of water. Use only wooden, glass,
copper, or earthenware vessels. Place
the bluestone in a cloth bag and sus
_ * *u -
pend it for a few hours, just unaer mt
surface of the water.Then slake one
pound of fresh stone lime for each
pound of bluestone, adding- enough
water to make one gallon for ea.h
pound of lime used. Thus if you use
four pounds of bluestone you will have
four gallons of lime solution.
To prepare the spray for use, put
one quart of the bluestone solution
and ten quarts of water in the sprayer
tank. Start the pump with a stream,
*
not a spray nozzle, and with good
pressure direct the stream back into
*
the tank.Then while the pump is run?
* ?* ? ~ f'nn-lr r\no niisrt
Xllllg 5LI Uilo> xix k)iv vmw ^ -
of the lime solution. Pour the lime
water slowly and let it enter the liquid
in the tank at the same point where
\ the bluestone spray is being- pumped
- in. This insures quick and thorough
mixing. After the mixing is complete,
continue to pump the solution
back into itself for a minute or two.
1
Give careful attention to straining.
Do nbt use muddy water. Well
water is better than warm stream or
tank water.
Spray as soon as the dilution is
made, since it should be applied while
fresh.
* Another way for mixing the solution
is this: Add 3 quarts of water to
N 1 quart of bluestone stock solution
and 3 quarts of water to 1 qt. of lime
stock solution. Pour these together
slowly and stir vigorously all the j
while. (For large quantities of spray j
material increase the two solutions by I
any equal number of gallons desired) j
If one ounce of arsenate of lead j
powder (or two ounces of arsenate ol
lead paste) is added to this soution, [
it becomes highly effective in de- j
stroying chewing inserts. A little j
more than a teaspoonful of nicotine
sulphate added to 8 quarts of the mix- ;
ture will be effective against sucking i
insects.
Dusting.
For caterpillars, beetles, z nd other j
.chewing insects poison powder applied j
with force is one of the easiest and'
most effective means of control, and
every gardener should be provided
,
with a dust gun. Mix one part of j
arsenate of lead powder with 8 parts J
of air-slaked lime or * finely sifted j
ashes or road dust. Apply liberally;
and preferably when the plants are!
wet with dew.
For Plant Lice.
Many gardeners have difficulty in
controlling this insect. This is effective:
Dissolve 1 ounce of soap in
a pint of water. Dissolve 1 teaspoonful
of nicotine sulphate in a pint of |
water. Mix well and add three
quarts to make a gallon. Spray with
force, using a fine nozzle. If leaf tobacco
is available, it makes a good ,
substitute for the nicotine sulphate, j ,
if properly prepared. Boil 1 pound J
i '
of tobacco in water for half an hour,- ,
strain and add water to raise to 2 or'
3 gallons. It is then ready for use.!
- These two solutions may also be used j
with some effect against the harle-: ,
quin or calico bugs. ! ^
NEW PUBLICATION*
ON SOIL BUILDING. 1 1
i ,
I.
Clemson College, April 22.?"There '
are five important factors in soil improvement
and economical crop pro- 1
duetion; namely, (1) control of soil'
moisture, (2) sufficient organic mat- .
ter, (3) deep plowing and thorough
tillage, (4) systematic use of lime in
rotation, and (5) intelligent use of
commercial fertilizers", says Extension ,
Bulletin 51, entitled "Soil Improvement
and Economical Crop Production,"
by N. E. Winters, Specialist in
Soil Fertility, whch has just come 4
from the prnter and is ready for distribution
by the Extension Service. Clemson
College, S. C., and by the
county agents.
Moisture and Humus Big Factors.
In discussing moisture control the
publication states among other things
that South Carolina loses annually
about $9,000,000 worth of soil fertility
in the leaching of nitrogen from the
soil and that the use of cover crops
would save most, if not all of this
loss. Regarding organic matter, it is
shown that humus helps to control
soil moisture, holds plant food, makes
plant food n the soil more rapidly
available, and makes more efficient
the use of commercial fertilizer applied.
Commercial Fertilizers Valuable.
That the South Carolina farmer appreciates
the value of commercial fertilizers
is proved by the fact that in
!
tration Column i
1920 over one-sixth of the fertilizers
sold in the United States was bought J
by South Carolina farmers, but where
our farmers have made their mistake,
says the bulletin, has been in the continued
use of large amounts of commercial
fertilizers without regard to
other factors, which make the use of
fertilizers more effective and profitable.
In short, the use of fertilizers
is beneficial, while the abuse of fer- !

fui7" r j
Bulletin 51 is illustrated with tour
tables and eleven cuts which aid greatly
in making clear and impressive the
facts and ideas of the publication,
which should do much to stop soil robbing
and encourage soil building.
POULTRY CALENDAR.
This is one of the best growing
months of the year for chicks. Dust
all hens and chicks with good insect
powder. Pay particular attention to
head lice that may be on baby chicks.
Provide chick size charcoal and
ground bone or meat scraps in the
mash hopper; fked when practical.
Sour milk should be fed constantly.
It is a good supplement for meat J
scraps. Furnish plenty of green food
for chicks. Watch for crows, cats
hawks, etc. Clean summer quarters
at once. Spray house to kill vermin.
Make spring cleaning in poultry yard.
RAINS HURT CROPS.
Too much rain in large areas of the |
J
northern counties has delayed plow- f
ing and planting considerably, accord- I
ing to the weekly crop summary of j
the United States weather bureau, Columbia
office, Richard H. Sullivan,
meteorologist.
The crop review for the past week
follows:
"The weather during the week has
been too cool for best crop development.
There has been too muclf5fc'ain
in large areas of the northern counties,
and plowing and planting are
consequently delayed; on the other
hand more rain is needed on the coastal
plain. Cotton and corn planting
continues, with good stands of early
niantines in the eastern, central and
southern counties, but planting is J
backward in the Piedmont. Wheat has
shown some deterioration due to rust;
the crop is heading. Oats and rye
are in good condition. Tobacco transplanting
is about finished. Vegetables
are becoming plentiful; lettuce
and asparagus shipments from the
trucking districts have about ended,
and bean and cauliflower shipments
will begin soon. Sweet potato transplanting
has begun. White potatoes
continue in good condition generally,
and all fruits, except apples, are good
to excellent; strawberries are ripening.
Warmer weather and more sunshine
are needed."
BRYAN MAKES PLEA
FOR REPRESENTATION.
Lincoln, Neb., April 30 (By the As-I
socaited Press).?In a letter to President
Harding, which he made public,
William J. Bryan urged that a representative
of the United States be sent
to the Genoa conference, not necessarily
to bind this country to the conclusons
of that conference but to ad^'se
wth the natons of Europe n an
effort to brng about the rehabilitation
3f the world.
Mr. Bryan wrote the president it
was a 'national and international ca- I
lamity" that the United States did
not enter the league of nations, the
responsibility for which, he said, rest
'about equally with the Republicans
and Democrats."
''But the mistake of the past," he
added, "should not prevent wiser ac- j
Lion in the present and future." :
