SPRAYING PEACHES
\ND PI.I MS
With spring coming on and the
fruit trees budding and blooming
its time for the orchard grower
to get his spraying,,equipment and
start to work.
The one insect that gives most
trouble to the peach growers i>
probably the curculio. To success-
fully control this bug 2 lbs. of lead
arsenate, 3 lbs. of hydrated lime
to 100 gallons of water and sorax
the tree when most of the blossom
petals have fallen. Second spray-
ing about 7-10 days after 1st
spraying or when shucks are
splitting with 2 lbs. of lead arsen-
ate, 6 lbs. of wettable sulphur, 8
lbs. of hydrated lime and 2 lbs. of
zinc sulphate to 100 gallons of

er's under USDAV price suppoi:

eggs, dried and canned fruits and
Irish potatoes.
In addition, PMA also ha- pur-
chased other foods which childun
need for a balanced meal. Included
are cheese, dried milk, canned to-
matoes, tomato paste and orange
juice.
"The school lunch program con-
tinues to be a never increasing
outlet for a lot of farm products
which are not being absorbed
through regular trade channels,"
Thurmond e mpha si zed.
He added that this is one of the
reasons for the joint sponsorship
of the national school lunch pr« •
gram by US DA and the State De-
partment of Education. It is es-
sentially a community project with
the1 state government matching
funds put up by the federal gov-
ernment and looking after foods
received from I'SDA.
This partnership makes it possi-
ble to shift plentiful foods into
areas where these foods are le-s
plentiful. For instance, Texas
school children are benefiting from
raisins, prunes and peaches grown
in other parts of the country,
he explained.

CUT ANT CONTROL
Now is the time to start killing
the cut ant, states C. \. Stone,
Count> Agricultural Agent. The
colonies are weakest, this time
of the year. The cut ant towns or
colonies are very easy to locate,
as several hills are generally very-
close together and will vary in
size from 15 to 100 feet in dia-
meter.
A three percent solution of
chlordane may be used. To obtain
this solution follow the direction
on the container. From 10 to 20
gallons of solution, depending on
size of colnov, should be poured
down the main colony and a small
amount into each leading tunnel.
The chlordane is heavier than air
ao there is no need to cover the
entrance after the solution has
been applied.
The above mentioned gives a
irocd control.
