U. S. ASKED TO PROBE
FOR CAUSE OF YELLOWS
Peach Growing States Fear The
Industry May Be Entirely
Destroyed.

In 1891 growers of peaches in New
Jersey and the lower Delaware RiV-
er valley noticed that a strange dis
ease was attacking their crops and
because of its appearance called it
the "YellOWs," name that still
sticks to it. The disease spread and
in 1898 became so alarming that a
prize of $50 was offered to any one
finding way of preventing it. The
reward was claimed by two contest
ants, who convinced the authorities
that the disease was caused by in
sects.
Then came a number of other in
vestigations which proved that the
winners of the prize were mistaken,
and so the work of finding a cure for
the trouble was taken up again and
is still going on. At the last meeting
of the New Jersey State Horticultur-
al Society, held at Atlantic City, a
resolution was adopted approving of
a cooperative investigation of "yel-
lows" and 'little peach" by the Unit
ed States Government and the affect
ed states. The President was asked
to approve of an appropriation suf1-
cient to carry on the work. William
H. Martin, plant patholOgist of New
Jersey, says that the danger from
the disease may become prevalent
and ruin the peach industry of his

MEETING OF MOTHERS PENSION
COMMISSION

The Mothers Pension Commission
held its regular monthly meeting OF
Wednesday, July Both, in the ofic,
of Miss Griggs, executive secretary
in the County Building, Wilmington
Those present were Miss Cora
Coombe Tschudy, chairman; Mrs. 1
Layfield Long, recording secretary
Mrs. Joseph, Lank, Milton; Miss Jul
ia Burton, Georgetown; Mrs. Chas
B. Jacobs, and Mrs. Howard Pyle OF
Wilmington.
OF the thirteen new applications
considered, seven were granted, two
of which are conditional on the ap-
plicants' conforming to certain re-
quirements. Four applications were
disallOwed and two were held over
for further consideration.
In eleven families, children were
taken ffthe list as they had reach
ed the age when the pension could
no longer be granted. Three pensions
were increased, four were discontin-
ued, and one was transferred from
Sussex to New Castle county. Two
extra grants were given to meet spe-
cial needs.
In the case of one applicant, in
vestigation showed that her husband
had eloped with another woman,
\ leaving his wife with four little chill
dren. The executive secretary sug-
gested that this would appear to be
violation of the Mann Act and is a
proper case for the Federal authori-
nC IaA .G
Courts, and she was advised to turn
the matter over to the proper author
tiles for action.
While the Mothers Pension Com
mission is authorized by law to con-
slider applications in the case of de-
sertion, it is strongly felt that a pen
sion should be granted only after
every legal effort has been made to
compel the deserter to fulfill the du-
ties of fatherhood and take care of
his own family; that in case of de-
sertion it was hoped the courts
would not show any leniency but
would apprehend the man just as
soon. as possible; that if a sentence
of Imprisonment should be imposed,
then after his return to civil life,
careful watch be kept over him to
see that he provides for his family

ord time.

state. He says:
In Michigan, "yelloWs" appeared
about 1866, but was not sufficiently
prevalent to attract attention until
about 1870, when the peach industry
was destroyed within one decade.
similar outbreaks have been record
ed IN Delaware. In 1887, in a six
year-old orchard, only 13O trees out
of 2,146 were found to be free from
the disease.
Figures obtained by Prof. M. A.
Blake indicate that epidemies in the
vicinity of Vineland have occurred
periodically about once every ten or
fifteen years. Prior to 1907 there was
a severe outbreak of the disease.
From 1913 until 1917 they stayed be-
low five per cent. In the three-year
period from 1917 to 1920 the number
of affected trees increased from an
average of about six to twenty per
cent.
Causes Premature Ripening
What are 'yellows' and little
peach and how do they affect the
tree? One of the most characteristic
symptoms of yellows is the fact that
the fruit on diseased trees usually
ripens several days to two weeks in !
advance Of that of a normal tree, and |
in addition the fruit from an affect
ed tree is commonly more or less red |
spotted and blOtched. The spots |
either occur on the skin or through |
out the flesh.
"Little peach differs from 'yel-
lows in that the fruit remains small
and ripens from several to ten days
later than normal fruit of the same
variety, and the diseased fruit is
frequently flattened and somewhat
rectangular in FORM"

1-Cent, Arkansas, 4.
In view of the question which has
been raised in highway circles as to
whether it would be advisable to in
crease the tax on gasoline to three
cents a gallon in Delaware, in order
that at least so of the badly needed
hundred miles of dirt road might be
surfaced next year, it is interesting
to know what the gasoline tax now
is in other states.
Arkansas heads the list with the
highest tax Of all, four cents on the
gallon.
Seven states already have a three
cent tax. They are: Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia,
Kentucky, Arizona and Oregon.
Two states a tax of 215 cents on a
gallon. They are: Utah and Oklaho-
MA.
Sixteen states have two-cent tax,
as follows: New Hampshire, Massa-
chusetts, Pennsylvania, Delaware,
Maryland, West Virginia, Indiana,
Tennessee, Alabama, South Dakota,
Montana, Colorado, Idaho, Washing
ton, Nevada and California.
Nine states have a one cent tax.
They are: Maine, Vermont, Rhode
Island, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas,
New Mexico, Wyoming and North
Dakota.
Eleven states have no tax at all
on gasoline. These include: New
York, New Jersey, Ohio, Michigan,
Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota,
Missouri, Nebraska and Kansas.
