EARLY CHURCHES
in DELAWARE
Continued from first pagel

terians were still cOntending for su-
premacy, with more vigor than they
had shown in their early years of
existence, the writer says. The
Quakers and Baptists, who managed
to stay on the stage from the time
their existence in America, were of
little moment in Delaware at the
time, the author believes. The
Swedes and the Dutch, who repre-
sented the Lutherans, had been abb
sOrbed by the English cOlOnists, the
introduction states.
In an interesting manner and with
strict observance of historical facts,
Elizabeth WatersOn tells of the
work accomplished by the denomi-
nations in the case of education, for
the welfare of the negroes and the
Indians, and also the general atti-
tude of the churches towards the
Revolution
Some excellent plates of Old
Swedes Church. Old Drawers
Church. Barratt's Chapel, the "Cra-
die of Methodism" in the year 1880
are contained in the book
A table printed shows the COM
parison of the number of churches
in each denomination in 1776. At
that time in Delaware there was one
Baptist; 2 Roman Catholic; ! Luth-
eran; - Quaker; u Episcopalian
and % Presbyterian churches here.
"Churches In Delaware During
The Revolution" is a book well
worth reading and one that adds
materially to the interesting facts
about churches in Delaware's early
history.

BETTER LIVING FOR FARMERS

AS one who believes the American
farmer deserves an improved stand
ard of living, you will enjoy a pro-
titable ten minutes reading the little
booklet, Better Living for Farmers"
which is given free on application
by the International Harvester Com
pany, 608 South Dearborn street,
CricagO, Illinois.
All thoughtful men will agree that
the automobile, the radio, running
water, electric lights, are just as i'm
portant on the farm as in the city
perhaps more necessary. To the far
mer who does now possess these
good things of life, Better Living
for Farmers" points the way.
Modern farming methods, less
hand work, and the use of efficient,
labor-saving equipment are factors
which often determine the difference
between profit and loss; and it is
with these matters that the book
deals.
The suggestions set forth for re-
ducing the farmers costs and in
creasing his income are not based
on theory. They come from the ex-
perience of successful farmers who
have proved to their own satisfac-
tiOn that their small investment in
cost-reducing, labor-eliminating ma
chinery has paid them many times
over.
These farmers are the counter
parts of the progressive manufactur-
er who realizes that his supremacy
is doomed if he does not replace his
antiquated machinery with the best
Such farmers have come
to realize that profitable continual
tion and leadership in agriculture is
impossible unless they employ the
methods of the factory manager.
AS a result, the more progressive
American farmers are adopting
.hese methods, and their reward is
he higher standard of living that
7ou and every other man interested
n prosperous agriculture want
hem to possess and enjoy. Write for
copy of this little booklet. Tt is
lot an advertising scheme; but it
las educational value and rich in
ood thoughts and suggestions.

ment of Agriculture maintains a spe-
cial Bureau of Entomology, where
scientific research is continuously
going on. There are stations under
state and federal supervision in diff
ferent Investigations of insects and
methods of direct attack. To insure
growers against impending ruination
of crops, bulletins are issued on pre-
cautiOnary measures.
Preparedness the WatchWOrd
Interest in developing lasting bar
riers against pests Is not confined
to the government, as private indus
tries have realized the peril of the
situation. They are mObilizing forces
to cOunteract the danger. For in
stance, the Great Western Sugar Re
fining Co. of Denver, Col, carry on
hand 100000 pounds of Paris green
as a form of ammunition against the
web worm attacking the beet crop.
They give it to the farmers free of
charge, receiving in return the as
surance of a prize beet crop.
Then, too, the largest insecticide
and fungicide manufacturers, such
as The Sherwin- Williams Co.,
through their research and expert
mental bureau, are prepared to
give any information regarding par
ticular insect problems. They offer
the service free and it is rendered
by scientists and research workers
who are experts in their particular
fields.
The continuous invasion of these
perilous pests is placing Americas |
interests at stake. Preparedness
should be the watch-wOrd. 1t will
mean good crops for which there is
always a ready market. This as

Don't put milk bottles out for the

Don't use milk bottles as contain

any other purpose.
Don't continue to buy milk from

only encourage the traffic. Hold the
bottle up and examine the bottom

Don't keep on taking milk that

Don't leave the milk out on the

the control of pests. Yet it was
through these early experiments
that the development of the best
known insecticides and fungicides
has come about.
Spraying has come to be acknOwl-
edged as the strongest and most
effective method for fighting insects.
There are two types of spraying.
dormant and summer. Spraying
trees when the leaves are off and
growth ceases is called dormant"
spray. 1t is used for the control of
such insects as San Jose scale, Oys-
ter shell and scurvy scale. Spraying
trees while they are dormant is
practiced because a stronger mix
ture can be used to kill scale in
sects than could be applied with
safety in the presence of foliage and
fruit. Other insects including peach
twig bOrer, pear-leaf blister mite
and peach leaf curl, a fungous dis
ease, are best controlled by dormant
sprays.
Dormant Spraying
The secret of the success of any
dormant spray depends a great deal |
upon thorOughness of application.
Wherever a limb or twig is missed |
by the spray, there the insects or
fungus will continue to thrive. A
fine mist spray applied at approx
mately 200 pounds pressure is eff
fective. Such a spray will insure
thorOughness and penetration into
the crevices of the bark and be-
tween the bud scales.
Dorman spraying is practical
either in the spring or fall. Spring
spraying however for the control of
scale insects is more effective than
fall or winter application. In some
fruit sections the sO-called DELAYED
dormant" spray is being used most
against San Jose scale on
apples. The buds at this time shop
Up green and care is taken not to
apply the delayed dormant spray
when the flOwer-buds show pink be-
cause of danger of burning.
The reason why the delayed dor
nant spray is more effective in the
control of San Jose scale than q
dormant spray is because the scale
overing sOftens and loosens as the
esult of resumed growth by the in :
ect underneath.
For many years lime-sulfur solu-
ion was used exclusively as a spray l!
Or San Jose scale. Dry lime-sulfur Il
regarded as perhaps the most :.
poch-making development in insect Il
ontrOl. Dry lime-sulfur is lime q

insecticide. 1t is used to comba
sucking insects such as the scale
aphis, thrips, red spider, blister mite
etc. These pests possess small
beaks which they insert into the
tissues of the plants, bark, fruit ol
leaves, sucking out their juices. This
reduces the vitality of the trees, de-
forms and disfgures the fruit and
often kills the trees.
These insects are destroyed by
contact with the insecticides which
causes death by suffocation or ex-
ternal poisoning. The insecticides
used here include the most impor-
tant dry lime sulfur, miscible oils,
oil emulsiOns, nicotine sulfate and
nicotine dusts are useful, too.
Dry Lime Sulfur
Then come the fungicides, the
principal ones being Bordeaux mix
ture, dry lime sulfur, wetable sulfur
and self-boiled lime and sulfur.
These are the agents used to pre-
vent fungous or plant-life diseases
such as apple scab, pear scab, apple
powdery mildew, grape pOwdery
mildew, peach leaf curl, peach
blight, anthracnose, blotch and bit
ter rot Of apples, brown rot of ap-
ricots, peach and cherries, tomato
blight or leaf spot, celery blight,
potato blight, etc.
These diseases are caused by
fungi or myriads of living organ
isms that attack and live in the It's
sues of living plants. These min
ute organisms or spores, which
are a low order of plant life, be-
come active at more or less definite
periods. The float about in the air |
and alight on trees, plants and veg
etables where they germinate and /
grow in the living tissues of the
leaves, buds or fruit, very similar to |
a seed planted in the ground, caus-
ing the unhealthy condition.
After termination or infection has
taken place there is no remedy. Fun
gicides are preventiVes only, not
cures, and must be applied previous
10 possible infection. The presence
Of the spray prevents the germina-
ion of the tiny fungous spores, the
Ultimate disease and the loss of
,rops.
Dry lime sulfur is a fungicide as
veil as a contact insecticide. 1t is
he only spray material known hav-
ng appreciable insecticidal and fun
,icidal value. These double quail
les make it a most important spray
ng material.
There are also combinations of
tomach insecticides and fungicide {
Oisons which are designed to de- (
troy chewing insects and prevent {
lngous diseases. These are cOmbi-
atiOns of arsenate of lead and Bor- {
eauX mixture or Paris green and {
ordeauX mixture. &
Aerial Combat
The use of the aerOplane to spray
llcium arsenate over the cotton t
elds against the ravages of the boil g
eevil, is the most modern strategy il
the new pest war. o
Spraying is about $50 years old.
S early as 1879 writers on the a
'owth and culture of the pineapple p
entioned the use of such variegat- S
things as water, hot and cold, d

would almost seem that they were
aware of an impending struggle so
rapid has been the increase in their
army. In the number lies their
strength-cOuple with the fact that
they are generally first on the
ground.
Man doesn't usually take preven-
tive measures to keep insects away.
Instead he seems insensible to them
until suddenly they are upon him in
immense hordes-cruelly eating and
destroying the very source of his
wealth and happiness.
Finding preventive measures to
charge into the army after it is al
ready assembled and entrenched and
to catch it unawares is mans only
recourse. The time for this is in the
vulnerable formative stage of the
pest.
In the life Of every insect there is
a period when they are most sus-
ceptible to injury and attack. To
strike them then means victory
from apparent defeat. If
the attack takes place before or af-
ter this formative period it may re- /
tard growth to some extent but on |
the whole it will most likely prove
pretty much a loss of time and re-
The weapons now used in the
struggle against insects are of the
poison gas variety. Many years ago,
before there was so much interfer-
ence with nature by man, pests were
destroyed by pests larger than them
selves and these in turn were ami
lilated by birds and beasts. Nova
lays a great many of natures eX-
of pests have been done
way with by man or his agents.
Stomach and Contact POisOns
To replace the by-gOne. pest kill
RS, science has evolved a number
f poisons which if properly applied
ave the same deadly effect. These
oisOns are divided into four groups
ccording to the purposes for which
hey are used.
There are the stomach pOisons
-hich are used to poison the food
f chewing insects, insects that are
rovided with mouth parts with !
-hich they bite off and consume
)liage and attack fruit. Such are
le cOdling moth, curculiO, potato
eetle, army worm, alfalfa weevil, c
ypsy moth, cotton boil weevil, to- f
alto worm, cabbage worm and v
lmerous other caterpillars. il
This poison is sprayed or busted

bles and is consumed by the at g
