Pennsylvania State Zoologist H. A.
Surface says that fruit trees attacked by
San Jose Scale can be saved if not too fal
gone. He gives numerous instances in
Pennsylvania and New Jersey where cut.
ting out diseased branches has saved hun.
dreds of trees. He says:
Suppose you have tree with top and
branches dead from the ravages of scale.
Cut them off. Cut the tree down to its
bare limbs, or if you find life in a peach
tree cut down to the stump. Cut it back,
That is the term we use. A foot square
infected with scale is worse than half a
foot Of bark stripped
Here's the gist of it: When you find
scale injecting trees, cut off the limbs and
even if you have to sacrifice some which
look nice, cut back to the branches Then
keep insecticide handy and cover the
stumps and limbs. It's a mistake to
think that new growth is not scale proof.
Fighting scale takes eternal vigilance In
secticldes, such as lime sulphur wash,
can be put on with a paint brush. If
New Jersey had used it five years ago her
farmers would have had more fruit to day.
There are many trees seemingly kill
ed, but they are really alive and little
care in examining them will show life.
Just 'dehorn or 'detnp' these dead trees
and put on an insecticide and you will
find the man who calls them dead made
a mistake"

Preparations have been completed fol
the third annual State corn exhibition anC
convention to be held in Dover, Novem
Der 18th. Judging from the number o.
inquiries received, It'll safe to predict I'M
usual interest in the event this year. The
management of the Corn Growers As
ISOLATION announces that more than 5000
will be offered in premiums. There will
be five classes this year, four for indivi'
dual exhibitors and one for oranges.
A special feature aside from the above
classes, will be an exhibit made by Della
ware boys who registered in the corn
growing contest last spring. These boys
exhibited ten sample stalks of their corn
at the New Castle county fair, where they
attracted much attention. Three classes
are open to boys, one from each county to
which four prizes will be awarded. Thirty
two boys are registered in this contest.
A special class Of the regular exhibition
is offered for the ten ears of corn of any
variety or color shelling the greatest NUM-
Der of ounces of grain.
There will also be a contest between the
oranges of each county for the best exhi-
bit Of six ten-esr samples grown by six
individual members of a grange. A first
and a second prize will be given in each
county, and silver cup as sweepstakes.
The corn show is held earlier this year
in order that the State Board Of Agricul-
ture may have the opportunity to select
samples of corn to send to the national
corn show at Omaha, Neb., early in De-
cember. President Gorbit Of the Della
ware Corn Growers Association was re-
Gently elected a vice-president of the
National Corn Exposition, and will re-
present the State and be in charge of its
exhibit at Omaha.
The complete premium list of the Del
aware corn show, together with the pro-
yramme for the convention, will be issued
in few days. Requests for the premium
list, or particulars regarding the exhibit
ion should be addressed to A. E. Gran
ham, Secretary Delaware Corn Growers
Association, Newark, Delaware.

Figures of more than usual interest tC
persons interested in sociological study
in general and to those interested in the
welfare of the blind in particular, are
made available by tile Delaware Com.
mission for the Blind.
There are ia blind persons under the
care of the commission. The commits
sion's work among these during the last
six months has given opportunity for
careful and most valuable observation.
The commissou has found encourage
ment in many of these observations, par
ticularly as to the inclination Of blind
children for education. Of eighteen
blind children of school age, fifteen we're
found capable of education, an excellent
average for even children possessing
vision.
Eighty-four adults we're found capable
of education, twenty-eight could not be
interested. Sixty-one are noted as max
ing marked progress. There we're thirty
six illiterates and seventeen invalids.
The total number of blind visited, com.
forted and instructed by members of the
commission was 124.
The distribution Of the number of
blind appears to correspond with the
population of the towns. Wilmington,
for instance, has the greatest number, Sc.
Dover has the next largest number,
there being nine. There are six blind at
and six at Laurel. New Castle
has four, and Camden, Delaware City
and Milford each have three. There are
two blind persons in each Of these towns,
Georgetown, Lewes, Middle
town. Odessa and Smyrna. Blades,
Harrington, Jones' Neck, Leipsic, Ocean
View, seaiord and Townsend have one

CITY COUNCIL IS IN FAVOR
OF MUNICIPAL WATER WORKS

bert" It was in reply to that council
mans question as to the possibility OF
the board favoring the submitted con-
tract.
Continuing on this same subject. he
said the company would make no Inn
provements unless they received extra
compensation. OF this he felt certain.
That before any kind OF proposed con-
tract would be considered seriously
by the board of works the Water
Works company would have to como
way down in it's demands. Mr.. Study
laid especial emphasis on the point
that it was Just as essential that the
common people" be protected in this
matter as the manufacturer. and that
the board would see that their rights
were protected as well as were those
of the weather. citizens.
Extra Main Needed.
In reply to statement by E. G. Nc
Mahan that the essential point was
that the water works system should
be safe and that an extra main should
be laid from the pumping station to
the city for this reason, City Control
Ter Webster Parry, gave council the
opinion of T. A. Taylor. who superin-
tended the construction of the plant.
Mr. Taylor Is now superintendent OF
water works company at Alton. III:
Recently he was in the city and went
over the ground with Mr.. Parry.
When the question of the supply main
i came up he expressed surprise to Mr..
Parry that the company did not have
an extra main, merely as matter of
precaution. Mr. Taylor said that it
was his belief the main was stronger
at the present time than it was when
| it was installed. However. he admit
ted, the probability of the main break
ing at any time when extra heavy
pressure was a constant source OF
danger.

People Besieging Real Estate
Agents for Houses, But the
Urgent Calls Cannot Be Re-
sponded To. :.
HOUSES At MODERATE
PRICES MUCH NEEDED
William E. Bockhoff, Head Of
New BeaIIvieW Factory, Is
Wondering Where He Will
Quarter WOrkmen.

Not for a period of twenty years. it
is said, has there been such a scarcity
Of houses to rent in Richmond. 1t is
absolutely impossible to supply the
demand. One real estate agent stated
this morning that he had had at least
fifty calls within the last month for
small houses to rent and he could not
furnish them, and practically every
real estate dealer in the city has had
a similar experience. At present there
is not a vacant house in the city for
rent and 1t is doubtful If there is
city In the state where like conditions
exist. Houses can not be built fast
enough and contractors are working
overtime in an effort to meet the in
creasing demand.
While many houses are being built
they are mostly private dwellings it
is said and the campaign wages mer-
rily on. Perhaps nothing more clearly
illustrates the fact that Richmond is
ION the BOOM and in an exceedingly
prosperous condition than this short
age of renting houses. Rchmond's
reputation as panic proof city, has
resulted in an influx this summer OF
strangers who desire to make this city
their permanent residence. the like of
which has never been seen before.

Special Judge Paulas in Cir
cult Court Hears Arguments
In Suit of the Greatest I'M
p0rtance.
Improvement PLANS
HINGE ON THE RESULT
Pennsylvania Railroad Fight
ing to Obtain Land for It's
Double Track-A Vigorous
Defense.

In the circuit court yesterday at
ternoon following the completion of
oral argument and the submitting OF
briefs and lists of authorities on
which both sides base their claims.
Judge Paulas of Marion, who acted a.
special judge in the case Of the Penn
sylvania railroad company against Mrs.
Margaret McCaffery for the appropria-
tion of real estate, announced that he
would return to this city in . few
days and render his decision. The
Pennsylvania company wants Mrs.
McCaffery's land located in Jackson
township appraised in order that
about 100 feet adjoining the company
land may be purchased for the purpose
OF carrying on the plans Of double
tracking the system between this city
and Indianapolis. John l. Rupe ap-
peared for the Pennsylvania company
while Shiveley & Shiveley represented
Mrs. McCafery. .--.-..
Objections Made.
BY bill of objections. the defend
ants attorneys averred that the Penn
sylvania company has no power un-
der the Indiana statutes to appropriate
land for the purpose Of double track
ing. Mrs. McCaffrey's attorneys claim
that the law providing for the condem-
nation of land for the purpose Of build
ing railroad does not apply in this
case becauses the railroad has already
been built. Mr.. Rupe admitted that
there were no recent laws which gave
his company the privilege Of acquir-
ing additional land for the purpose of
double tracking. but he also said that
by the terms of the charter granted
the Indiana Railroad company In 1S47
such provision was made.
The defense also object to the in
completeness of the complaint as ii
did not specify what kind OF improve
ment would be made by the railroad
adjoining the land. As q matter OF
fact, the Improvement will be high
nh. probably ten feet high. which will
shut Mrs. McCaffrey's farm entirely
on from fnterurban Facilities, which
she now possesses. The defense claims
that her farm will be damaged to the
extent Of SIS an acre In selling value
as Z result Of the Improvement.
This is the first Of several similar
cases filed In the circuit court by the
railroad company. consequently
Judge Paulas' decision will be q very
important one The point raised by the
defense make the conditions Of the
case much different from the ordinary
condemnation proceedings
