SPRAYING OF FRUIT TREES.

W HILE some Delaware farmers have doubt
" ed the efficacy of the spraying Of trees
for the prevention of the havoc caused by the
San Jose scale, farmer near Boyertown, Pa,
has reaped great rewards for his labor because OF
his persistence in combating the pest with the
spraying treatment. J. II. Funk has harvested
5000 bushels Of apples and 800 bushels of pears.
His neighbors fruit was practically destroyed by
the pest, and Mr. Funk had the largest crop in
the county. 1t has been stated by newspaper
near Mr. Funks home that by placing his apples
IN cold storage he will greatly enhance his profits
Mr.. Funk attributes his success, as compared with
the failure of his neighbors, to intelligent spray
ing And his example has called the attention of
other farmers of Pennsylvania to the advantage
OF growing apples as a crop. Apple culture is
likely to extend
Delaware farmers, especially some Of those in
Kent county, have brought apple culture to a high
degree Of perfection. The exhibit Of apples at the
last meeting OF the Horticultural Society, showed
that Delaware could rank with the best of the
apple producing States, and in some regions of
Kent the apple production makes up for the fail
ure OF the peach crop. Apples are harder fruit
than peaches. The difficulty in the spraying of
peaches is that the yield of the fruit is so uncer-
tain that, should the crop after the trees have
been sprayed fail the grower is confronted with
the additional loss of the expenses of spraying,

army should be improved and that the people

he encountered the prosecuting officers of the
Kaiser, who held that such remarks were of
reasonable nature and promptly the doors of the
jail open for him.

PROPHETS APPEARING.

IT He State prophets beginning to show
4 themselves in Delaware, and enthusiastic
predictions are heard on many sides, Just upon
what the prophets base their predictions is hard
10 determine, because there has been and is no
definite basis upon which to figure the result of an
election which will not be held for several weeks
There is hard campaigning to be done from now
until the finish. The campaign really became
warmer sooner than was expected, but some Of
the big guns are yet to be fred before the voters
rally at the polls. Some of the prophets base
their forecasts on certain "ifs" and butts and
these conditions may have an important bearing
upon the campaign It is said that both sides
have made block books OF the districts, but this
means cannot be as trustworthy as in regular
political campaign, where the political opinions of
voter can be. guaged with a fair degree of ac-
curacy. The question Of prohibition has not been
before the people Of Delaware for many years,
and hence any predictions Of the result are merely
speculation and guess work. The result of
campaign does not depend upon the size or en-
thusiasm Of public meetings. Stirring up the
voters at mass meetings Is one way, but getting
the men qualified and getting them out to vote
is different proposition
That there is a large and uncertain element,
many Of whom have not made up their minds, is
undoubtedly true and votes will be changed until
the very day OF the election The uncertainty Of
the election, judged by all known means of form
ing an accurate opinion to the result, adds now
city and interest to the campaign
Wilmington is becoming a warm battle ground
for both sides, and yet it is noticed that men who
have in the past been unusually active in political
work have not appeared on the surface and il is
doubtful If many of them will come to the front.
They seem TO think it is question for every man
10 decide without personal advice. One of the
features Of the campaign is the activity of the
women, who, if they cannot vote, will be able to
do much work in persuading the men, While the
anti-license men profess confidence that the result
viii be in their favor, some of the leaders of the
license forces seem to be absolutely sure that the
license cause will win
The next two or three weeks may throw addi
tonal light upon the outlook, but the uncertainty
that must necessarily surround an election Of this
sort promises to keep public interest on the keen
est edge. We shall have all sorts of predictions
but one mans guess is about as good as anothers
IN this election.
