A historical note reflects on long ago scenes and compares shadows before Daguerre. It discusses insect threats like Chilocorus bivulnerus and Pentilia miseila and proposes remedies for San Jose Scale including soap sprays and hydrogen cyanide gas. Director Sedding announces Bulletin 33 on scale management and fumigation guidance from Hugo N. Sraryrs, Torticuturist.
The advertisement claims Ayer's Sarsaparilla makes “new men” by cleansing blood and improving skin. It asserts lasting power and a proven record, contrasting the remedy with imitators unable to match its history.
The San Jose Scale is described as the era’s most inveterate orchard foe, invasive since 1893 from California. It infests twigs, limbs, fruit, and leaves, with rapid, live births up to 500 per female and potential offspring reaching 8 million, threatening nearly all Georgia orchards and forests except pines or cedars.
State Agricultural Department advises a fertilizer with 5 percent phosphoric acid 3 percent ammonia and 8 percent potash for wheat on land cleared of pea vines. Topdress with 50 to 100 pounds nitrate of soda in spring and prepare seed beds thoroughly to improve yields. Canada peas show promise as hay for cattle and sheep though experiments are limited in the south.
A Washington jeweler, Frank B. Martin of 926 Pensylvania Ave, recounts severe blood poison and costly doctor visits before praising S S S as a curative. He says after four bottles he improved, after eighteen he was cured, with no relapse. The firm Swift Specific Co offers books on the disease mailed free.
State Agricultural Department advises farmers to sow peas at two bushels per acre on average land, cover 4 to 5 inches, and resow if killed by cold. Sow peas and oats together, plowing peas to 4 or 5 inches then harrowing in oats, so crops mature together with higher quality hay and a balanced protein-rich feed.
The State Agricultural Department notes sowing vetch with wheat or rye helps it stand taller and prevent close ground cover. Vetch is richer in albumens than crimson clover and winter hardy, but should be cut before it becomes too woody. One Minute Cough Cure is mentioned.
Notice that at the next Georgia General Assembly session a bill will be introduced to authorize the establishment of a dispensary for sale of spirituous liquors and malt beverages in Jackson Georgia by the mayor and council. The notice is dated August 25, 1597.
