TO GET FEDERAL AID

The State Board of Education met at

missioner of education, Professor A. r.

DELAWARE TOHAVE REGIMENT

The First Delaware Infantry now
numbers 1926 men. 1t is relief COM
mon to the men in the ranks, that no
matter what happens now, Delaware
will have full regiment. 1t means, if
this is true, that when the Blue Hens
Chicks leave Camp Mcclellan with their
colors cased and KITS slung on their backs
for 'Atlantic Port" they will be led by
a Delaware band and have Delaware
chaplain. To the uninitiated, it means
much the same thing whether state is
represented by two battalions or by a
regiment, but to the men who did guard
duty on the Mexican border last summer
and fall it has different significance.
1t meant that the boys Of Delaware had
to be commanded for the majority of
the time by an outsider. They were
brigaded with men from other states
and required men from other state Or
ganizations to give them full regi-
ment. There was no band and conse-
quently no music for the Delaware boys.
AS matter of fact, they were not sup
posed to have any regimental colors but
this was one thing that the pride of
"Delaware's Own" could not stand, and
after repeated requests the Delaware
militia has the unique distinction of
having the right to carry two American
and two state flags, one for each bat
talon.

spective county, as to the point where
it shall be taken.

SWEET POTATO INSECT PEST

Sweet potato growers are warned to
be on the alert against new insect
pest, the sweet potato leaf folder,
which was found in 1916 in injurious
numbers in the region Of Brownsville,
Tex. 1t has been noted also in Louisiana.
Field workers of the Bureau of Ento-
mology of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture who have studied
the new pest at Brownsville found it
can be controlled by careful spraying.
Arsenate of lead, used at the rate of l
pound of powder to 40 gallons of water,
was found effective. These sprays des-
troyed from SO to 96 per cent. of the
larvae on the sweet potato vines.
The sweet potato leaf folder constructs
a shelter by folding leaf or drawing
two leaves together with silk which it
spins for the purpose. AS itjncreases
in size it devours most of the leaf eX
cept the larger veins and midrib. In
1916, at Brownsville, Tex, the pest was
first observed about the middle of Sep
tember. By the middle of October the
caterpillars had become so abundant
that it was found advisable to spray i'm
mediatefy. When done early enc spray
application may be sufficient, whereas
if treatment is delayed until large
number of larva have spun cocoons, two
or more applications may be necessary
in order to effect complete control.
Natural enemies of this insect in
Texas are the jackdaw- or boat-tailed
grackle and the spined soldier bug.
