THE ENTERPRISE TOBACCO BEDS SHOULD HAVE UTMOST CARE • Probabilities Are That All Insects Will Be More Numerous This Year ——♦ Br JOHN R. MORRIS Editor, Tobacco News Georgia tobacco farmers are al ready making war on plant bed in sects. The warm winter weather has been favorable to insects, and the probabilities are that they will be more numerous and will do more severe damage than usual unless preventive measures are used. Cutworms, moles, mole crickets and snails are the prin cipal ones that menace tobacco plant beds. They often destroy entire beds, and sometimes the damage is not even suspected until it |,ias already been done. Cutworms are already at work on plants, such as cabbage, onions, etc., and it will be well to take im mediate steps to prevent damage to young tobacco plants when they, start coming up. The very small size of the tobacco ' plants, and the feeding habits of these : I insects make it necessary to poison j them with something that they will eat. J. M. Purdom, an expert in this | work, advise to make up a poison bait j I by thoroughly mixing one pound of arsenate of lead, or calcium arsenate, ' or one-half pound of paris green with j 25 pounds of shorts, bran, cottonseed ' meal, or corn meal. Add suffioient | 1 water that has been sweetened with 1 I syrup to make a crumbly mass. Re- I j move the cloth cover and apply by I ' sowing the small crumbs of this mix- j ture over the bed. If there arc mole | runs in the bed, drop small balls of the mixture in their runs. Two or three applications of this mixture should be made at intervals of two i weeks. After the plants have put on five or six leaves the dry mixture can be dusted on the plants. Insects, especially mole crickets and snails, often find protection under the logs around the edges of the bed, and at night or cloudy damp days crawl out and feed on the plant* in the bed. It will be well to lift up these logs and sprinkle lime under them. Our farmers should use every pre caution to make a crop of quality to bacco during 1932. Most of ourjarm- I ers are in bankruptcy as the result jof growing tobacco. They can make money if they will cut the, acreage and take care of a smaller crop. The mar keting conditions in foreign countries will lend us no hope to base any claims for better prices. Domestic types have sold at a profit this season. We must grow them or go out of the to bacco growing business, SELL PEANUTS AT LOW PRICES Hope of Receiving Living Price for Crop Given Up | By Martih Farmers I Growers of peanuts in this section have abandoned all hopes of receiving a living price for their 1931 crop, and are now selling heavily on a market that has for its top price 1 1-2 cents per pound for best bunch. The move ment of peanuts within recent days has i been heavier than at any time since ! the crop was harvested, and it is esti ! mated that at least half or more of the crop has already been marketed. The following, market bulletin was issued by a leading commission house of Norfolk and Suffolk last week: "The demand for cleaned and shelled and the attitude of the holders of farmers' stock will govern the market during the next several weeks. "Cleaners have very small stocks, and warehousemen, as a whole, at fac tory points about two-thirds the usu al quantity in late January. It is es timated that one-half the crop is in the country in the hands of farmers, merchants, and small warehouses. "Shipments of-cleaned and shelled so far running over SO per cent ahead to corresponding date last year. Yet big shipments to Chicago and* other market centers might indicate that part of these shipments have been for storage. "Suffolk market, I 1-4 to 2 1-4 cents, according to grade." 2,577,119 PIECES MAILED IN 1931 Extension Service Mailings Reach New High Mark Last Year V ■ ♦ During the year ending December 1, 1931, the mailings, to farmers, teach ' ers and field extension workers totaled ' 2,577,119 pieces from the division of | publications of the Extension Service and Experiment Station at State Col lege.
