of the passage of the bill which is
now in the Senate, is Henry P. Scott,
banker, who declared he would go to
Dover and enter a protest against its
being enacted into a law and urged
all good citizens to do likewise.
The Loose bill, Mr.. Scott said,
"permitted each citizen one quart of
liquor. Since legally another quart
could not be obtained it is fair to
presume that quart would be kept for
midicinal purposes.
"The Weer bill would make illegal
the possession of any liquor. The
man or woman then owning the quart
warranted under the Loose bill would
have to destroy that quart or inn
mediately become a lawbreaker, sub
ject to Jail sentence.
"The quart held legally under the
Loose law represents property which
should not be taken without due pro-
cess of law, and if taken or required
to be destroyed, should be paid for
by the State.
"The situation therefore would be-
come ridiculous and would add enOr-
mously to the number of lawbreakers.
Liquor for emergency or medicinal
purposes is a necessity. One mans
life in my own locality was saved not
many months ago in a pneumonia
crisis by hastily administering brandy

we'll said, this country will never be
destroyed from without, but risks
very grave differences from within
leading to destruction.
81 am of the opinion that the tenn
perance cause is winning out to an
observance of law. The habit of q
people cannot be changed in the short
time since the passage of the Eigh-
teenth Amendment. The government
can stop the manufacture of liquor
and its importation, and it should be
left to handle this situation. People
will not continue to buy the vile stuff
being illegally sold, which l under
stand is becoming more and more
dangerous to life"

the fruit grown, the farmers have no
difficulty in disposing of their crops
and usually the fruit is sold at the
vineyard. Most of it goes to Phila-
delphia commission houses, which
send their agents to Kent county
early in the summer and buy up the
entire output of the vineyards before
the fruit is harvested.
When the farmers succeed in elm
mating the black rot, they usually en-
joy a crop that for money value is
the best. The prices obtained last
year were very satisfactory and SELL
ing as some of them do through a
cooperative plan of marketing and
under government inspected guaran-
tees, the net returns have been very
assuring.
Experiments in spraying will be
continued this year at the farm of

partment show almost conclusively,
that if the vines are sprayed early
enough and at the right time, that it
is the most efficaciOus exterminator
of the black rot known. Three sprays
are advocated and the survey of the
vineyards will determine when these
are to be made.

Reasons for their request are that
