DIR. Rowan'S Salary, Hop

AWAIT ANSWER
TO PROPOSITION

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK, July 19.-An important
congregational meeting of the New
ark Presbyterian Church was held in
the church yesterday morning when
matters pertaining to the salary OF
the Rev. William J. Rowan we're dis
cussed At the present time Dr..
Rowan, in addition to being pastor
Of the church is also professor OF
rhetoric and oratory at Delaware CO..
lege He receives a salary of $1,000
as pastor of the church and a like
emount for his duties at the col
lege
At a meeting of the official boaro
of the church several months ago the
matter of increasing the pastors sal
airy was discussed and it was finally
referred TO a special committee. 1t
was to hear this report of the com
mittee that the meeting was held yes
terday For some time there seems
to have been a feeling among some
of the officials of the church that il
would probably be best for DR..
Rowan, 10 be paid a salary whereby
he could give up his work at the col
lege. There was no claim or con
tention that the church was losing
any of the services of the pastor,
but il was simply the thought of
some few that it would be best for
the pastor to have no other official
duties but those connected with the
church
Several propositions we're made at
the meeting yesterday and most of
them were voted down. Some of the
members thought that DR.. Rowan
should receive a salary increase as
pastor without interfering in any way
with his work at the college Even
tually a motion prevailed that Dr..
Rowan be offered $1,000 a year as
pastor beginning the next year pro-
viding he sewers his connection as a
member OF the faculty of Delaware
College.
It is not known as yet what Dr..
Rowan's answer will be to this prop
ositjon.

turiSts TO Control Disease
PRIZES FOR THE
BEST FRUIT EXHIBIT

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del. July 19.-Tne eyecu-
tive committee % the Peninsula Horti-
cultural Society requested the aid Of
tie Federal Department Of AgricUl-
ture in an investigation II the cpl
demic of apple and pear light IN the
peninsula this year Lee A. Hutch
ms was sent over as a representative
OF the department and spent several
days on the peninsula. The present
cpidemicfwas caused by peculiar wea-
ther conditions. The remedy is to
cut out all hold over blight when
the trees are rruned in the fall In
the apple tree not more than one
| blighted twig IN ten thousand will
carry the gerEs over winter The
live blight is shown by peculiar red
dish streaks on the bark These
should be cut out. cutting six inches
below the blighted part Also the
cankers on the trunks and larger
limbs should be cut out All cut sur
faces should be disinfected by wiping
them with a sprnge mOistened with
bi-chloride of mercury.
Young trees may be saved by go
ing over them carefully and repeated
ly from hlossoming time until July
or August and cutting out blighted
Z twigs as they appear. Such a course
would be impossible on large bearing
trees. but on small trees, not more
than five or six years old, il is a sim
pic matter and will save the trees
from serious injury yellow Trans
parent and Jonathan trees are among
the worst hlighters, while Winesap
Stayman and Mammoth Black Twig
are comparatively resistant.
