BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB WORK
A. ID. Cobb to Follow up Short Course
at U. of ID. With Interesting Program

After four days instruction and
pleasure the eighty boys and girls,
members of various clubs in the three
counties who attended the Short
Course at the University Of Delaware
recently have returned to their homes.
State Club Leader A. d. Cobb mapped
out a program this year with the idea
in view to develop leadership among
the young club members so that they
could assist their fellow club MEM
bers when they returned home. Earl
Meredity, of Greenwood, and Grace
Souders, of Pennington, two of the
club members, spent most of the week
at College Park, Md, guests Of the
Boys and Girls Clubs of that State
who were holding their short course
at the University of Maryland at the
same time. The Maryland clubs sent
three of their members to Delaware,
the plan being to exchange ideas on
the work. In many respects it was
the most successful Short Course that
has yet been held and this line of
work among the sons and daughters
! of farmers is bringing good results.

POCOMOKE OUT OF sHo' LEAGUE
Lack of Support Forces Salamanders
to Quit Peninsula League Baseball

Lack of Support Forces Salamanders
to Quit Peninsula League Baseball
The Pocomoke City baseball club of
the Eastern Shore League has thrown
up the sponge. The team was dis
banded Friday after the game with
Cambridge, and the franchise is now
at the disposal of the League. The
cause of this move was lack of pa
tronage, the crowds dwindling to moth
ing after it was found there was no
chance for the club to cop the pen
nant. At the beginning of the sea-
son Pocomoke looked strong. Seven
men in the 300 hitting class were
keeping the team up among the lead
ers, and at times, in the lead. The
pitchers were winning with the help
of good stick work and the outfeld
and the infeld apparently had no
weak spots, and withal the fans were
satisfied. But all at once the team
slumped, and it seemed impossible for
them to recover their stride, and when
they began to lose steadily, patronage
dropped almost to zero. To recuper-
ate losses the management began to
sell players-Ryan to Cambridge, Nc
Donald to Dover and Phifer to Sails
bury. With Robinson, of Cambridge;
Mackey of Crisfeld; Emerson, of Do
yer, and Scarborough, a recruit, the
club was kept in the field, and it must
be said the made-over team played
good ball till the last, their one un-
forgivable fault being they couldn't
win, and the town seemed to have no
use for a losing combination. The
directors of the club are considerably
in debt, and, to avoid a heavier de-
felt, thought it best to disband, and,
with the help of the money due from
the league, settle a part of their OBJ
legations.

Trenton Fair who was specially en-
gagged this year has several startling
and sensational acts and features bill
ed, besides the regular 1O-act vOdvil
program which will make the specta-

afternoon and continue the remainder
of the week. The Community Sev-

the children who attend the Fair
Games, contests and dramatic work
done on Fairgrounds will be eXem-
plified under the direction of cOmpe-
tent supervisors There will be seat:
for families who bring their lunch
and other comforts for mothers. An!
one who desires to take a flight in

yet the grubs were still there by the
millions and not a one seemed miss
ing. Poultry will eat the grubs and
also the beetle after it has developed,
and apparently it does not hurt them,
but some claim that the beetle will
kill turkeys if eaten by them.
Delaware State Board Gives Warning
The State Board of Agriculture has
some of these beetles in bottles of
alcohol at the Office in Dover, and
will be glad to show them to anyone
who wants to see them. All persons
in Delaware should be on the lookout
for this Japanese Beetle in this State,
and should become acquainted with
what it looks like, and should report
to the State Board of Agriculture at
Dover as soon as any are discovered.
The State Board of Agriculture had
an exhibit of the Japanese Beetle at
the Harrington Fair, and will also
have an exhibit at the State Fair at
Wilmington, for the purpose of ac-
quainting the people with what the
beetle looks like, and its history. Al
persons who visit a district that i:
infested with Japanese Beetles anC
then return to Delaware or a section
that is not infested should use specia
caution, and see that no japanese
Beetles are brought home in theil
automobile, as they will fly in the ca
and may not be noticed.

Potatoes, Tomatoes, Cabbage, Escape
The Japanese Beetle is particularly
fond Of the silk on corn and twenty
four were counted on one hill Of corn.
They eat it completely off the ear.
There is some difference of opinion as

Of the silk begins. Some farmers adj
vised, that so far, Tomatoes, Potatoes
and Cabbage have been practically ex-
empt from the attacks Of the beetle.
In the early fall the beetle goes in
the ground, particularly in sod, and
goes below the frost line, apparently
going down from four to twelve in
ches, it reappears in the early spring
in the form Of a grub, and later de-
velopes into a beetle. One farmer
advised that he plowed his ground
eight inches deep in the early spring,
and turned up so many grubs that the
ground was actually greasy in some
places. He had large flock of gum
eas and they came on the field and
ate all they could, the chickens also
filled up, and finally the birds came in

Would you like to have an abund'
ance of roses for cutting. for table
decoration, for boquets, to give your
friends.
OF course you would. But" you
say, Il haven't the room for rose
garden" or II haven't the time to take
care of garden roses; all can grow
is the climbing kinds!"
Well, even so, you can have all the
roses for cutting that you want. There
are several new climbing roses that
have been developed during recent
years, which bear their flowers on
long stiff stems, and are better for
cutting than many of the regular gar.

A New Type of Rose Which Seems
To Combine All Good Qualities.

Salt An Effective Means of
killing Common Burberry

Chemicals will play an important
part this year In the eradication
campaign against the common bar
berry, which aids the spread of black
stem rust to the wheat fields. Where
only the digging method has been
practiced it was difficult to remove
all the roots, especially in rocky
ground or around tree stumps. Where
even the smallest fragments of the
roots were not destroyed sprouts
have sprung up the following year,
necessitating repetition of the
work In lawns or gardens where a
careful watch can be kept Of the
places from which bushes have been
removed, digging is all right, for in
a year or two all roots left at the
first digging will have sprouted and
can be removed.
To make the eradication of the
bushes simple and sure, two chem
icals have been found by the United
States department of agriculture to
be effective for use In such places as
pastures and wooded lots and along
fences where it is difficult either to
dig bushes up completely or to locate
the exact spots in resurvey. OF
these two, common or crushed rock
salt is very satisfactory. Ten pounds
of salt piled on the crown will kill
a bush Of average size 1t should be
applied to the bush as dry salt and
may be used at any season Of the
year with success. The bushes either
may be left standing or cut down. If
left standing, they are easily located
and the necessity of retreatment
more easily determined
Another chemical recommended for
use by the department is sodium-ar.

semitic solution where it can be pro.
cured in large enough quantities
commercially. Sodium-arsenite solu-
ton is an efficient poison which has
been found to be effective in killing
barberry bushes. A gallon Of the
stock solution, which can be pur.
chased at about $1.5O will make
about 40 or so gallons Of solution
when diluted with water. Two gallons
Of this dilute solution poured In the
center of the crown at the surface of
the ground is usually sufficient to kill
an average-sized bush. 1t should be
used only during the growing season,
or from about the first of May to the
last of September. Although sodium
arsenite is not more poisonous that
most orchard sprays, it should be
handled with care, as it has a cor
rosive action on the skin
Unless sodium arsenite is found to
be cheaper or more convenient, 1t
probably will be best to depend on
salt.

VETERINARY HOSPITAL
IN SPOKANE WILL CLOSE

The Veterinary hospital in Spokane
which is operated in connection with
the courses in veterinary science at
the State College Of Washington will
be closed, as a measure Of economy.
Reduced assessment of valuations of
state property have caused a loss to
the college of $4,000 year, or $lO2.
900 for the coming biennium, so the
board of regents lave been forced to
every expedient which will effect
saving without actually reducing the
quality or quantity of class instruc.
ton or the work of the main agricul-
tural experiment station.

on millage basis, and the lower the
tax rate is, the less money the miHage
brings the college for its running ex'
penses. No appropriation whatever
was made by the legislature for
buildings or rspairs
