The farm CTS of the community have volun- teered the use of their tools, wagons and teams; the state will furnish shrubbery and seeds for planting; the school children and civic clubs will be asked to furnish the laber. It is planned to make this field day a model for like programs at other schools Luncheon will be served the workers by the women of the community.

The memory of two distinguished Ensley women will be perpetdated Armistice Day, when myrtle trees will be planted by the Thread of the Story club to the memory of Mrs. Drayton Trucks and Mrs. George H. Millar. These two women were mem bers of several important clubs here and both have passed on during the recent weeks. Mrs. Millar was the wife of the general superintendent of the Fairfield works and greatly es- teemed. Mrs. Trucks was one of the most popular as well as the most useful women of whom Ensley has any recollection.
 The tree for Mrs. Trucks will be planted in the Ensley park, while the one in memory of Mrs. Millar will be planted on the grounds of the Minor school. The programs incident to the two appropriate and interesting af- fairs will be carefully arranged and doubtless largely attended.

COOLING MOTH CONTROL

The apple growers in Kent county
consider the codling moth as the most
destructive of all insects that attack
the apple crop each season. The dam
ages resulting from the ravages of
this insect amount to thousands of
dollars as all infested fruit is disqual-
flied upon the markets.
The codling moth passes the winter
in the larvo or worm stage and may be
found in cracks and crevices in pack
ing houses and cellar storages in
which apples have been kept during
the winter, or the worms may be
found in baskets that contained ap-
pies last fall at picking time or that
had apples in them all winter. These
small worms will spin cocoons from
which will emerge the adult moths
about the time the young apples are
beginning to form. These moths lay
their eggs in the calyx end of the
apple and the young worms upon hat
ching Immediately commence to bur-
row their way into the fruit. This
causes the wOrmy apples which must
be discarded at harvest time. The Sec
ond brood of the codling moth matches
later in the summer and a number of
the larvae eat their way into the ap-
pies from the side in addition to their
entering the calyx end, thus giving
this insect the well-knOwn title of
"side-wOrm."
In order to accurately determine
the exact time of emergence of the
adult moths each spring and summer,
few trap cages have been placed in
the commercial apple orchards Of the
county under the direction of County
Agent Russell E. Wilson who conduct
ed this investigational work among
the fruit growers last year. The cod
ling moth larvae were collected and
placed in wire cages which were hung
in the orchards of Frank w. Richard
son near Rising Sun, and Leonard So
per near Magnolia. Careful obserVa-
lions were made of these cages from
time to time during the summer, and
when the maximum emergence was
noted, in these trap cages, notices
were sent from the County Agents Of
flee to every fruit grower in the coun-
ty giving the warning of the proper
time to apply the codling moth spray
When the adult moths emerged in
the trap cages it was konwn that they
were emerging in the orchards in
large numbers and consequently they
were soon to deposit their eggs on the
apples. In order to properly control
this injurious insect it is very essen
tial that the spray be applied at the
time of maximum emergence of the
adult moth, for the arsenate of lead
spray must be on the fruit when the
eggs hatch and the young larvae start
to eat their way into the apples.
These codling moth experiments are
being carried on again this year by
the County Agent in cooperation
with the University of Delaware, the
U. S. Department of Agriculture, and
the Kent County Farm Bureau. AS the
time of emergence of the moths varies
each year, it is necessary that Obser-
vations be made each season and
spray warnings sent out accordingly.
Trap cages this spring have been
placed in the orchard of K. P. Cool,
west of Wyoming, and in Mr.. Rich
and Mr.. Soper's orchards
where similar experiments were con-
