CORN TERMINATION TESTS
MUST BE STARTED now

For the past two years extensive
studies regarding the corn roOt-rot
and its injurious effect upon the yields
of corn have been made by County
Agent Russell e. Wilson, who is work
ing in cooperation with the Agricul-
tural Experiment Station of the Uni
Versity of Delaware.
In conducting this work four or five
farmers are selected each spring and
each co-OperatOr is requested to as
sist in keeping accurate records.
From the supply of seed corn which
is to be used for planting on each of
these farms thirty ears are selected
from each lot for use in making these
roOt-rot Investigations. These thirty
ears will plant approximately two
acres on each farm, making from
eight to ten acres of corn which are
included in this project each year in
the county. Ten kernels are taken
from each ear for the termination
test which is done at the Experiment
Station, and each ear from which
these grains have been taken is care
fully labeled to correspond with the
grains which are used for testing. In
uuuhAnS Tic LCSl VI NhCSG SetlupAGS Va
corn special attention is paid not only
to the percentage Of termination but
also to the prevalence of the roOt-rOt
disease in each ear.
The corn in each of these thirty-ear
lots is divided into two classes, ac-
cording to the degree of termination
and the amount of root-TOt present in
the seed. The ears in each class are
shelled and planted separately on
each farm and, at harvest time, the
yields on each plot are calculated on
the acre basis. The corn in the re-
mainder of the field serves as a check
for comparison purposes and the
Yields per acre are also calculated for
the untested seed.
termination plots this spring have
been established on the farms of
Frank J. Lewis, near Cowgills Corn
er, John r. Hartnett, west of Dover,
Dewey Sapp, near Houston, and e. H.
Sapp, west of FELTON,.
According to the results obtained
from this work in the county during
the past two years there has been
difference in yield of from ten to thir-
teen bushels per acre in favor of the
disease ?free seed which also showed
100 per cent termination. Taking
these facts into consideration it is
easily apparent that our corn yields
in the county could be readily increas-
ed if only good seed were planted. An

COOLING MOTH
INVESTIGATIONS

This spring will mark the third year
in which the Investigations relative to
the emergence of the adult cOdling
moths have been conducted by County
Agent Russell E. Wilson in the apple
producing sections of Kent County.
The fact that the orchardists in
this county consider the codling moth
as the most destructive of all insects,
that attack the apple crop each sea-
son, has been the chief cause of this
inVestigational work upon the part of
the Agricultural Extension Depart
ment. A few years ago similar work
was done in this section by the Bur-
eau of Entomology of the u. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, but at that
time the Investigations were carried
on in a more extensive manner than
is being followed at the present time.
The Bureau Of Entomology. however,
is cooperating with the County Agent
in this project and has supplied some
valuable information and material for
the conducting of the work in this
county each year. In addition to this
assistance a great deal of important
data has been collected from the work
which was conducted in the county
previous to 1921 and also during the
past two years, and it is the desire of
the County Agent to continue this
project each year.
The cOdling moth passes the winter
in the larva, or worm, stage and dur
ing the late fall and early spring
these worms may be found concealed
in webs which have been formed in
the cracks and creVices in the pack
ing houses and cellar storages and in
baskets in which apples have been
stored for any length of time. The
adult moths emerge from their CO.
coons about the time the young apples
are beginning to form. The eggs are
laid usually in the calyx end of the
apple and the young worms, upon
Matching, Immediately commence to
burrOw their way into the fruit. This
is the cause of the wormy apples
which must be discarded at harvest
time when the fruit is being graded
and packed. The second brood of the
cOdling moth matches later in the
summer and a number of the larvae
eat their way into the apples from the
side in addition to their entering the
Milford chronicle., 1924-06-06

calyx end, and it is for this reason
that the codling moth has been given
the name of "side-worm" by some of
the fruit growers.
To properly control this insect it is
very necessary that the arsenate of
lead spray be applied at the time when
these larvae hatch. In order to deter
mine the date of emergence of the
adult moths, therefore, several trap
cages have been placed in the COM
mercial apple orchards in the county
each spring by the County Agent.
Cooling moth larvae are collected and
placed in these wire cages and then
these cages are carefully watched
throughout the season. As soon as the
maximum emergence is observed
spray notices are mailed to all the
fruit growers advising them of the
date when the apple trees should be
sprayed. When the adult moths
emerge in these trap cages it is
known that they are emerging in the
orchards, so the spray warnings are
sent out accordingly.
These cages this spring have been
placed in the apple orchards OF
Frank w. Richardson, near Rising
Sun, Leonard SOper, near Magnolia,
Ed. Todd, near Viola. S. II. Derby.
near Woodside, X. P. Cool west of
Wyoming, and Troy D. Metheny, near
Hartly. The work this year has been
extended considerably in order that
more accurate check might be obtain
ed on the adult emergence in differ
ent parts of the apple producing area
in the county.

DR.. James J. Walsh
of New York CITY,
tOLecture on Cures

DR.. James J. Walsh is recognized as
one of the great medical doctors of
the country today. He is in demand as
a speaker before important medical
societies.
Dr. Walsh calls his lecture "Cures"
of "The Funny Things That Cure Peo-
pie" In this lecture he contributes
many points of view which it is ad-
vantageous to have emphasized in our
American intellectual life of today.
Perhaps some physicians may be in
clined to think that there is ridicule of
the profession in the lecture, but the
serious minded physicians throughout
the country do not think so. DR.. Walsh
brings to Chautauqua something tang
ible, beneficial and instructive. We
can all we'll afford to hear him.

be retired by the creation of a

she should be so self-conscious

Freckles won't rub off like the
stuff that comes in boxes. Our

no handicap. We'd call them
dandelions in beautys garden, and
your dandelion in his yellow jacket
is a pretty fellow, for all the
harsh things lawn makers have
said about him. But we know
that the girl who can't get them
off with lemon peel, nevertheless,
will consider them a nuisance.
And that her small brother will
jeer and advise the use of a nut
pick. Freckles undoubtedly were
outcasts when the maids of old
Egypt went bathing in the Nile,
