much smoke there must be some fire.
My conviction is that if we have as
big a peach crop as we had last year,
we will get better prices. If we have
killing frosts at blooming time, then
the prices on those escaping will be
very much higher. My conviction is
that if one half my peaches should be
killed at blooming time, l would
make more money out of my peaches
than would if none were killed.
But | do not wish it to be so, for it |

many of my neighbors would lose all
of theirs for they are on lower and
f1atter ground. We can not control
such things but if l could, l would
never want to prosper at the expense
of some one else.
I see some reports in the papers
that the apple buds have not been
hurt by the cold weather. Now, apple
buds do not kill in the sense that
peach buds do. The fruit buds may
kill on a peach tree when the leaf buds
do not kill, but not so with apples.
Ii the fruit buds kill on the apple
trees then the leaf buds kill also, and
that means the death of the limb. So
it is common saying among fruit
men that apples do not kill in the
bud. That statement is true only in
the sense that if the fruit buds are
killed the limbs are killed too.
We have two notable cases where
the introducers of new fruits have
honored their wives. Peter M.
Gideon, of Minnesota, originated the
beautiful apple known as the Wealthy.
He produced apple seeds from the
coolest part of Vermont and grew a
number of hardy seedlings. None
was especially valuable but one, and
on that one he bestowed the name Of
lis wife-Wealthy [ have met Peter
M. Gideon. He was something of a
genius, but was eccentric. Another
case of honoring the wife is in the
naming of a peach. Samuel Fl.
Rumph, of Marshallville, Georgia,
originated something like 10, 900 new
peaches. After testing his new crea
tons, he found but one that was
worthy of world wide dissemination
and he named that one in honor of
his wife and called it "Elberta. - All
honor to the two noble women whose
names are thus perpetuated. In the
Bling cherry the name of faithful
Chinaman was perpetuated by Seth
Lewelling the originator of this
famous fruit, Bling was his faithful
servant.

desire to learn whether this parasite
appearing on the bark is the San
Jose scale or not. This parasite ap-
pears on many of the wild cherry,
also on the wild currant and spirea.
If it is the San Jose scale, it may be
menace to the fruit and ornamental
trees and the shrubery on the cultivat-
ed portion of my grounds. If not 700
much trouble, L will thank you for
information either in the columns of
The Ranch, by mail or telephone.
The insect appearing on these twigs
is not the San Jose scale but the
Oyster Shell Bark Louise (Lepidos-
aphes Ulmi LINN. This is pest that
appars at it's worst on Puget Sound.
While it does not multiply nearly so
rapidly as the San Jose scale when
the latter is under the most favorable
conditions for multiplication, it is
really about as dangerous on the
Sound in its destructive work. The
climate of Puget Sound is not con-
genial for the San Jose scale and it is
far less destructive here than in the
lower dry valleys east of the Cascade
Range. This is the testimony of some
of our expert entomologists. Where
the climate is equally congenial to
both these pests, the San Jose scale
will do vastly more harm than the
Oyster Scale Bark Louise. Fortunate
Iy the means of combating these
pests is the same for winter treatment
and that is the time when the greatest
success attends our labors in that
direction. Spraying with lime-sul-
phur wash in the winter or early spring
is alike destructive to both these
pests. The work must be thoroughly
done for it must be understood that
this remedy kills by contact. For
the Oytser Shell Louise, there should
be good deal of lime in the prepare
ton. II the material is bought al
ready prepared, then add enough
Stacked lime so it will show white on
the trees.
The Bark Louise may be very sue
cessfully combatted by spraying with
kerosene emulsion in the latter part
of May. About that time the first
brood of eggs is Matching and the
emulsion will kill the young insects.
After their shells are formed this
remedy will not do them much harm.
The Oyster Shell Bark Louise is
very destructive to maple trees in
some parts of the United States. This
is notably so in Maryland. Ii this
pest has done much harm to naples
in Western Washington, L do not know
it. [ have not seen it on my maple
trees in Seattle. If the wild cherry
trees of which Mr.. Callahan speaks
are not considered valuable, l would
recommend cutting them down and
then burning them over as you do
slashings. This insect does not travel
very rapidly and is not carried on the
feet of birds as young San Jose Scale
is. Neither of these pests can live on
dead tree.

DELAWARE LAWMAKERS IN
OUTING AT CHINCOTEAGUE
SENATOR WALLS AND ASSEMBLY,
MAN HOFFECKER UNABLE TOGO
Party Had Rough Experience in Beng
Marooned on a ;Sandbar For Three
Hours.-SignaI for Help.

Some of the members of the Del
aware Legislature who returned Mon
day from their outing and reunion
at ChincOteague Island had an un-
pleasant experience. The party
went out in a launch and a float
towed by the launch to fish, but
went ashore and stove a hole in the
bottom of the larger craft on a
sandbar. They were in no danger,
except they were likely to be ma
rOOned for several hours. Finally
DR.. George W. Marshall, a State
Senator and former insurance com
missioner, tore the shirt from D.
Miffiin Wilson, the Secretary of the
Delaware Railroad Company, and
signaled passing fishing schooner,
which took the lawmakers ashore.
Some of those in the launch included
Senator Alexander P. Corbit, of
Odessa; Representative Thomas F.
GOrmley, of Wilmington; Represen-
tative Everett G.. Johnson, who is
editor of che Post of Newark; SEN
ator George W. Marshall, of Mil
ford; D. Mifflin Wilson, of Dover !;
Senator Louis A. Drexler, of Beth
any Beach; Representative E. Frank
Locates, of Laurel; DR.. Samuel M.
D. Marshall, of Milford, and some
others. Representative ]. E. Hof-
fecker was unable to go on account
of illness and Senator E. G. Walls
was at RehObOth. Smyrna therefore
was not represented. On Saturday
morning they started out in a big
launch for Assateague life saving
station and lighthouse, while an
other party of the Assemblymen
went on f--.ing trip. After the
party had inspected the Assateague
lighthouse, they started back to
Chincoteague, and just as they were
ounding from the Atlantic Ocean
into the Bay the launch stuck. For
three hours the launch cIung too
the sand bar with the waves beating
about it, and finally the distress
signals were seen by some fishermen.
They took off the Assembymen in
row boats and returned with them
to Chincoteague. The accident oc-
Cured nine miles from Chincotea-
que. The launch was left on the
sandbar, but was recovered when
the tide rose Saturday night.

POOR REED BIRD SHOOTING
Gunners Not Getting as Many as They
Expected and Are Disappointed
New Law Also Affects Sport

The gunners and sportsmen are
disappointed at the outcome of the
cunning season for the reed and the
rail birds because from the general
appearance and the many thousands
of birds on the river front and
marsh land it was expected that the
season would be one of the best in
decade at least. The new law re-
quiring the gunner not to take over
six dozen and three birds has not

the birds were hard to get beause of
the great fusilade of gunners' fire.
arms whenever they would alight to
feed in the daytime since the open
ing of the season. The greater part
of the gunners are reaping from
three to four dozen of the toothsome
creatures, while many obtain less.
The birds are in excellent condition
and are fattening daily with the
excellent grasses to be obtained.
No great number of the birds are
killed by one shot. The record for
one shot was possibly made by Ed
ward Mcdaniel, the baseball ball
player of che New Castle Athletic
Association, who secured fifteen
birds with one she'll. He secured
total of 81 reed birds and IL rail
birds. The rail bird hunters are
greatly disappointed because of the
scarcity of the high tides and the
failure to secure the birds now
plentiful on the marshes. which must
be waded after, and this is extreme
ly hard work in the sticky mud.
The highest bag this season has been
AZ, while in recent years on good
tides it has been possible to secure
as high as three to -four times that
number on tide. The birds are so
tlt they cannot fly any distance and
are easily killed. Good tides are
looked for before the middle of
next week and better shooting is ex-
pected by the knowing ones.

OOn boulevard through Delaware ar
rived in Smyrna last evening and
registered at the Delaware House
where they will make their head
quarters until they have surveyed
the route west of Smyrna recently
selected by the Town Council and
the Roard of Trade. This route as
already stated comes around by the
head of the pond, and passes lust
this side of 'Font Hill," the home
OF Mrs. Presley Spruance and cuts
through a half mile section of the
corporate limits of Smyrna through
lands of Mrs. R. Hopper Smith,
Frank Boyer and others, crossing the
State road near st. Peters Gene
terry and thence across the meadow
of Denney's mill and in a straight
line coming out again to the State
road at William Armstrong;. The
surveyors are now working from
Hoffecker's Millpond toward Smyr-
ma but what changes they will make
remains to be seen, but it is prac-
tlcally assured that the route will be
west of Smyrna. While the SURVEY
ing is going on in Kent County, the
actual work of construction is be-
ginning at Georgetown in Sussex
County, the eastern route having
been selected by General Dupont
and the State Highway Commission
at meeting held in Wilmington
Saturday. Up until yesterday, there
had been no articles of incorporation
filed as required by law Incorporating
a boulevard company. Inquiries at
the State house revealed the fact
that within few days General Du-
Pont will file his certificate of in
corporation, as the matter is now in
the hands of his attorneys in Will
mington. The new road is to be
thirty feet wide while 40 feet addi-
tional is to be used along the road
by General DUPONT for his own
private purposes. The work on the
big road begins in Georgetown and
will run south through Millshoro to
Sevlbyille, that part of the road
being the first that will be complet-
ed. 1t is stated the road will be of
bitulithic construction. Monsieur
Storms, of France, and Mr.. Atkins, of
Scotland, the two high salaried con-
sulting engineers, took up their offices
in the DUPONT headquarters and the
road is expected to be pushed speed
lily with six separate contractors at
the work.

about the place. Kingslow was
struck twice in the side one bullet
passing through his left hand. AL
