X Hold Curculio In Check Now is the time for all good oeach growers to come to the aid of the industry and hold the cur culio or peach worm in check, says R. D. Suber, county farm agent, who states that curculio control is not entirely an indi vidual problem but one which concerns the entire community be cause of its movement from one orchard to another. In some of the peach districts a good many wormy peaches ar* oresent in the drops. Unless these irops are picked up and destroy 'd the worms in them will go ! nto the soil, pupate, and produce 'dult curculios fsnout weevils re- 'emhiing the boll weevil). All home and commercial or- '.hardists should immediately nake an examination of the drop ■md, if worms are present, should ’mmediately nick un the fallen reaches and bury them two feel deep. In the commercial peac'' areas of the state, this is of ut most importance, as curculio out breaks in other extensive or charding areas have been very disastrous in years past. Other means of control consist in spray ing with arsenate of lead and Jarring the trees for the adult curculio at emergence time. , ^ ■ — Get The Machinery Ready For Harvest With the harvest season fast 'proachbig, it is important to '-eck un on the condition of •" ewers, binders, or combines in e der to have such machinery in '■'-st class condition for the har- PRE-VIEW OF PARADISE v THE FLAMING BEAUTY OF MAGNOLIA AND MIDDLE- TON GARDENS NEAR CHARLESTON* S.
