W0RMlNESS OF NUTS

entomaogists Of Department Of
Agriculture Recommend Three
Good Methods.

mSat Of Agricuiture.)
In order that growers and shippers
Of chestnuts may guard their product
against w0rsAiness, ent0m0logists Of
the United States department Of ag-
riculture recommend that as soon AZ
the nuts are gathered they be fuml-
gated with carbon blsulphide, treated
with hot water. or subjected to dry
heat In q kiln. II the carbon bisulphidc
method be employed, the nuts should
then be exposed to the air In order
that all traces Of the chemical shall
be removed. The three measures rec
commended destroy minute eggs and
young grubs, unobJectionable, on the
whole, but which may later develop In
10 worms and ruin the nuts. In any
ease, however, nuts should be careful.

craI consignments Of moldy and
wormy chcstnuts have been seized on
recommendation OF the department OF

therefore, to employ the measures rec

tion of all good horticulturists; but in
my opinion 1t does not matter much
II we only cut out small limbs, and
prune frequently.
As soon as the leaves hive fallen in
autumn is advised by many to be the
best time to prune; however. some
cling to the opinion that the cold and
dry winds make the wounds slow to
heal, and there is danger Of forming
u diseased spot where the cut is made.
Some claim that when u large
branch is removed, 1t will heal faster
when removed in midsummer; but
there are some serious objections to
that rule. 1t Is very busy time, the
foliage is heavy and hard to handle.
and the removal Of q large portion
Of the tree Injuries the growth Of the
tree.
But, We have noticed one advantage
Of late winter or spring pruning Of
grape vines, and that Is the fact that
deep SHOWS often break the canes that
have been left after pruning, worse

II is a matter for congrstulation
and a source Of pride. TO less TO the
people Of Delaware than to Delaware
College itself. that that institution is
once more the recipient of a splendid
donation which will be used in carry
ing out the plans made possible by
earlier benefsctiOns from the same
generous giver. Few communities
have a citizen who not only has the
means but the inclination to devote
such a large sum TO the cause of edu-
cation, and seldom indeed is it pos
sible for such a gift to accomplish so
much as is the case here. Delaware
College has done excellent work in the
past with very limited resources but
its usefulness should be multiplied
many times by the means supplied
through these gifts.

Delaware NAV not have the abund.

Delaware may not have the sbund-
ant resources Of some Of its sister
states for the building and maintain
ance of good roads. but it can at least
do something. We have always
thought the taxes turned in from
license tags should be used exclusively
for building roads and now since later
reports give the number of license
tags over the 5000. mark there should
be enough revenue from this source
to build several miles of good roads
every year. 1t is only just that since
automobiles pay q yearly tax. that the
big sum accrueing from this depart
ment. should be spent in keeping roads
in repair and building permanent stone
roads. We hope the coming Legisla-
ture will make provision for this.

II is a sheer waste Of public money
to build macadam roads and not keep
them in repair. The stone road from
Smyrna to Clayton and the stone road
from Smyrna to Duck Greek are badly
in need Of attention. 1t will cost less
to put a top dressing and fill in the
holes and ruts now than to allow the
road to wear out and have the whole
work to do over again. Kent County
Levy Court should see to this at once.
