SPAIN SAYS WAR.

The Spanish government not wait
ing TO receive notice Of the "ultima-
tum'' from the United States, sent
Ambassador Woodford bis passports,
and the Spaniards say war. President
Mckinley has already ordered the feet
at Key West to proceed TO Cuban
waters and next week an army of 3d.
900 men will probably proceed against
Havana. The proximity of Cuba to
our coast and its distance from Spain
is greatly to our advantage. Madrid
is almost due east from New York,
and Cadiz, the southern port at Glib
raltar is 3215 miles from New York.
From Cadiz to the Cape Verde Islands,
west of Africa and almost due east
from Cuba, is 1876 miles. From Cape
Verde Islands to Porto Rico Is 2300
miles and Havana is HOO west of Porto
Rico. By this route Havana is nearly
5000 miles from Spain's nearest port.
From New York to Porto Rico is 1926
miles, and from New York down the
coast to Havana is 1927. The dis
tance from Key West directly south to
Havana is very short so that in situa-
tion the United States has all the ad-
vantages. In the fortunes and misfor-
tunes OF war we believe the advantages
are all on our side and yet We may suf.
fer some defeats and many losses. Nc
one doubts that victory win perch
upon the American banner.

THE PEACH cURcuL1o.


a heavy tribute is levied annually on the
peach crop of Delaware BY the curculio.
The adult beetle lays the eggs in the small
fruits just after the blossoms fall. In few
days the eggs hatch and the little grub
bores into the fruit. The peaches that are
attacked when very small usually fall and
comprise large proportion of the June
Drop" while the fruits attacked when halt
or more grown adhere to the trees as
wormy and gummy fruits. Whenever the
set ofpeaches is light. MS it will be in parts
of Delaware this year, it is ofgreat economic
importance to the fruit grower to prevent
the loss from the curculio, which often
amounts to more than fifty percent Of the
total setting. If the peaches that form on
the tress in southern Delaware this spring
are saved from the curculio, there will
still remain good crop in most sections Of
the state.
The only practical means Of destroying
the curculio this spring is to jar them from
the trees upon canvas and kill them after
they have fallen. The canvas can be
stretched over light frame, leaving slit
in one side to allow the tree to stand in the
middle. The tree is then jsrred by quick
blow from q padded mallet either on the
trunk or main branches of the tree, and
the curculios are then swept fiom the can
vas and destroyed. 1t is best to jar early in
the morning as the beetles are then slug
glish and fall readily. The jarring should
be continued every day or over a period Of
three weeks. or until no more curculios
are taken. In some seasons the injury does
not last more than two weeks. The i'm.
portant points to observe are. lst. jar as
soon as the blossoms have fallen, I'd, to de-
stroy the curculios that fall, Sd, continue
the jarring till the beetles disappear.
The curculios can be absolutely controlled
by the jarring method, which is usual prac-
tice among the plum growers, and many
peach orchardists in western New York.
In New York, however, the canvas is in
the form or an inverted umbrella which 10
wheeled from tree to tree on q wheel-bar-
row-like frame. A cut Of curculio ma
chine is shown in Bulletin XXXV of the
Delaware Experiment Station.
The cost of jarrng an orchard de-
pends entirely on circumstances, but it
should not cost under two cents per tree
or over twelve cents for the entire seasons

WHAT does it mean2 Tax Collector
j. Allison Clpaver attacks the published
reports of The Road Commissioners for
St. Georges Hundred. lie says that
on April 2. 1898 in a conference the
commissioners agreed that he was due
500. 90, yet they charge him in their
published statement with owing $466. .66
on '95 and '96 taxes. That is a small
alter, however-small compared with
his charge that they omitted from their
statement a bond due from Mr.. J. 2.
Cochran for So, 800, making their in
deb.ednsss S7.79S.72. What does this
mean II the tax payers were men
alive to their interests they would learn
the meaning. 1t is debt the people
must pay, then why not investigate?

ut is clear that in the event of war with
Spain the country will have to resort to an
issue of bonds. After criminally refusing
to make it possible to levy an income tax,
the Republican party is in position to re-
turn the favors shown it by the money
classes and bonds will be issued. 1t is a
rare occasion in the history of this country
that does not afford the Republican party
an excuse for advocating the issued Of
