Kent county Farmers Institute

.r,,o or,ounced session Of the Farmers

- The Town Hall at FELTON,, by Thomas
b Coursey, and the attendance above lnS
or.roge "Eoualizatiou of Taxes and
opeacb Yellows," occupied most OF the
,,,re devoted to discussion. On the tax
s,,b;act there were many opinions ana
,,onv views expressed of how the veNed
nrohIam could be solved, but it was the
unanimous opinion of the majority oi
t,,ose nresent that bonds and mortgages
should be taxed.
"peach Yellows and its Cause" was
f,und to be a subject on which every
naacb grower present had an opinion
While every man interested in peacn
.rsos would welcome the man who Will
,roduce a sure cure for this destructive
disease of the peach orchards, as the ian
atical Indians would the promised Mes
siah. The probability that the cure VIII
not be found, is almost certainty Dul
s,irl there were those there on Monday
Who are willing to believe that cure
has been found, and ask Of the Legisia'
t,re to provide for experiments with a
wash invented by Mr.. Croft, which II
is claimed has cured trees affected WIN
che "vellows." If this should prove to
ne true it is a most valuable discovery
for Mr. Croft. We hope it may turn out
TO be a sure remedy, and as Prof. Chester
ofDelaware College, is already making
some important experiments in this line
Il would be we'll to have the new wash
given fair trial under his careful super
