among these . seven causes on per
centages proportionate to their va
rious needs.
Approximately $9,200,000 for t those
objects was received during 1025, it
is announced, but inasmuch as only
$4,698,000 of this amount was in
distributable funds some oT the ob
jects suffered for lack of - sufficient
cash. Under the leadership of the
Commission a definite effort is being
made to; secure as much' or more
money as was contributed 4in 1D25, I
but in undesignated amounts so that
each cause v?ill get its proportionate
6hare.

PROTECT APPL'E CHOP
BY SPRAYING IN TIME
Raleigh, X. C.. April 12. ? Indica
tions aVe that this will be one of
the best seasons for heavy ipple
production? in several years and
growers art "urged to; - spray the
fruit thoroughly and at the right
time to save; this crop and produce
a high quality: of fruit.
& H*. Brannon. extension entomo
logist at. State College, .is spending
Tiis time this spring with: the fruit
growers of the State and finds that
if' the apple croQ is protected by
Fpraving this year, the jcrower*
should make money. Especially i>
it important- to spray for control of
the codling moth or apple worm.
I*ast year, he states, very few of
the worms were killed ; by sprays.,
The moth emerged all duvinr the
yPTTT ? in-U'iiil ? uf at tun ? definite
periods and more worms- entered
winter quarters than usyal. These
worms will soon emerge as moths;
will lay eggs, prcducing worms
which eat into the apples and will
cause tremendous damage.
"The. codling moth larvae . o i worms
pass 'the winter in cocoons beneath
the bark of apple trees, under trash
and in cracks in the ground. The
larvae transform to pupae just be
fore blooming time. This stage
lasts ab ut one month"- when . t'hdl
moth emerges and- begins t'(J de
posit eggs on the leaves. The young
worms bore into the blossom" end
if the. -apple and cat to the core.
They feed in the apple- about one
month and leave Jthe fruit, crauling
down- -the trunk to begin t'h? life
cycle all oyer again. .
"To control the moth, growers j
must use arsenate of lead poison
applied at the proper time. The I
powdered. -f.rm is used and ' the poi
? son i> applied at the rate f 11-2
pound* of arsenate to 5'0 gallons of
water; Mjx two pounds of lime j
with each ' pound' of lead arsenate j
b6tore adding the arsenate of lead'
to, th^ ?i*ray. ' The finporcant j
time for the codiing moth spray is
?when seven-eighths of. the blossori j
fc)et.al:< "have fallen. This U very |
important."/!.

? Soda makes money (or thousand* of |
planters.
G. M. Adams, Smith County, Texas,
produced 8081 pounds of net lint on a
| 5-scre plot and won the State Contest
together with $1700 in prizes. Vo r
i esch acre, he mixed' 400 pounds of
Nitrate of Soda, 700 pounds of Acid
and 100 pounds of Muriate of Potash,
and applied it two weeks before plant
Claude Craighead, a 13-year-old boy
of Athens, Louisiana, made 1323
pounds of lint on one acre of land and
won the State Boys' Championship.
His net profit was at the rate of
$172.35 an acre. He used 600 pounds
of Nitrate, 1200 pounds of Acid and
?400 pounds of Kainit.
ELatner Beall, a high school boy, of
'Wilson, Arkansas, has won the State
Cotton Growing Championship in two
successive years. In 1924, he used 200
^pounds of Nitrate pes.acre at planting
and-lQQ pounds when the cotton-was
knee-high. His yield averaged 752
pounds of lint per acre. Last year, he
^ raised the early Nitrate application to
300 pounds and got 1008 pounds of
lint per. acre.
The Mississippi Cotton Production
I Contest was hela in two sections, the
? llilPartd ithe-Di'lta. In. the former.
Will Terry, of Jacksort, wOn with an
average acre yieldof 4507 pounds of
seed cotton. He used 200 pounds of
Nitrate of Soda as a side dressing, in
addition to his other fertilisers. In the
Delta section, Earl Love, of Dodds
ville, and Dr. S. W. Johnson, of Vicks
burg,. produced the largest average
yields of seed cotton, 4201 and 4177
I>ounds, respectively.
Under average conditions, 200
pounds of Soda under the cotton and,
if possible, another 100 pounds as a
side dressing, will make a paying crop .
? for. two rca-son3. It will make q largo
yield of lint and will set the squares
earlier and faster, before either dry j
