GOOD NEWS FOR PEACH GROWERS.
Enemy to San Jose Scale Found and Depart
ment at Washington Will Distribute a
Million "Lady Bugs" to kill the Disease.

After long search the Department
of Agriculture, in Washington, has
found an insect it believes is an enemy
OF the San Jose scale and which, it al
so believes, will wipe the enemy of the
peach tree off the face of the earth.
The department will distribute this
bug to peach growers, this fall. and if
it turns out to be all that is claimed for
it, willresult in the saving of thousands
of dollars each year on this Peninsula.
The much-desired bug was found in
North China about a year ago by Mr..
G. L. Marlatt, of the chronological
division of the Agricultural Depart
ment. 1t was from China that the San
Jose scale originally came, and it was
to China that Mr.. Marlatt directed his
steps with view to finding the scales
most destructive enemy. The latter
returned to the United States and to
Washington last fall bringing with
him $50 of these ''ladybugs' in a little
bamboo cage. All died except two,
which, singularly enough, proved ex-
tremely hardy, and lived all through
last winter in little glass cage in Mr..
Marlatt's Office. They were survivors,
and as such were best adapted to this
climate and country. This spring they
laid eggs and Matched out 200 young
ones, which are now full grown and
healthy and getting ready to bring
forth young on their own account.
They have already exterminated the
scale insect on many of the trees on
the department grounds, and when
they in turn bring forth broods, the
division will have enough TO begin
sending them about over the United
States fruit raising districts where the
scale insect is playing havoc.
Immediately after Matching out 200
descendants, the original pair of
Chinese "ladybugs" died. They were
preserved as curiosities and as the
parents Of the anti-scale insect ladybug
in the United States. The 200 des-
cendants of this frstpair are kept in an
immense gauze covered cage that COM
pletely incloses plum tree having a
serious case of San Jose scale, and
which the ''ladybugs' have about ex-
terminated. They are now laying eggs
and in few months the division will
have a million or rnore of the bene-
fetal insects for distribution.

PLEAS FOR PARDON WERE IN VAIN.

Argument was heard before the

Jacob H. Ridgeway and Wilbur E.
Mills, the four young fox hunters of

six months for aggravated assault and
battery on Bethuel w. Hall, farmer
of Milford Neck, whom they had
charged with shooting their dogs.
Henry Ridgely, Jr., and former Sena-

The fight for the pardon of former
President of the Levy Court John
Lynn, of New Castle County, and
former Commissioner Henry NJ. White

ENROLLED. PROMOTED

The above enrolment includes all
who moved away from town, but they
were few compared with the whole
number not promoted. have sought
to find out the reason for so many not
being promoted and 1 find the reason
is very largely because the children do
not attend regularly. The great per-
centage is not among students of an
age capable of working and helping in
the home, but among the students of
the lower sums who are allowed to re-
main at home for very trifing reasons.
Parents must be shown that their
children cannot advance by such ir-
regular attendance. The above fig
ures will help show them if they look
at them carefully. J. P. BURDETTE.

The first game of baseball on the
new grounds of the Smyrna Baseball
Association, was played Monday after
noon before large crowd of specta-
tors. Despite the inclement weather,
the grand stand was nearly filled and
the game was watched with interest
and enthusiasm from the beginning
until the game was stopped by rain at
the close of the seventh inning. The
Smyrna club, new and without prac-
tice, crossed bats with the strong ex-
North Philadelphia team. At first it
looked as though it was to be pitch
ers' game, and for the first five innings
Smyrna played an almost faultless
game and were in the lead of their op-
ponents. The sixth inning the game
was tie and by errors on the part of
Smyrna, Philadelphia was allowed to
make three runs in the seventh inning.
Manlove Hayes Wilson, of Dover, who
caught Delaware Willis, had his finger
split by pitched ball in the first part
of the game and was forced to retire.
