The State of Delaware holds right
TO the reef islands within its state
lines. State engineers and real es-
tate men say a sale by the State Of
this property for summer homes,
fronting a boulevard, will more than
pay the cost of construction. 1t.
Governor ]. Hall Anderson, of Del
aware, a member of the State High
way Commission, in recent state
ment said:
'No other section of the Atlantic
coast, to my knowledge, has such
an opportunity as this for a drive
of seventy miles along the strand,
with a clear view of the sea practi-
cally all of the way. If, as has
been asserted, the road cost can be
financed by the sale of a part of the
adjacent lands as home sites, it
would now seem the chief question
necessary for decision is whether
there is danger in erosion by the sea
of any part of the route in contem-
plation. We shall ned the verdict
of coast survey men on this point"
Writing to the Eastern Shore of
Virginia Chamber of Commerce S.
B. Field, of Baltimore, whose own
ership of Assateague Island came
down to him in an original grant
from King George III says:
"In years gone by have frequent
ly ridden a bicycle the length of
Assateague Island to Ocean City,
Md, and found the beach hard and
in splendid shape all the way. AT
that time there was no inlet just
below Ocean City and in this con-
nection I might say I doubt very
much if the inlet can be kept open
because of the fact that there is
not a large enough body of water
in Sinepuxent Bay to create suf-
ficient heavy tidal flow to keep 1t
cut out"

Pleasant View Farm,
Milford, r. D. 9.

Milford, R. D. 2.
Editor Milford Chronicle,
Milford, Delaware.
Dear Sir:-I notice in this weeks
issue where you corrected an item
which appeared in a former issue,
and feel that you should correct the
account of the accident, which re-
suited in the death of our little girl,
Sunday, June 10. There was scarce
ly word of truth in it; her brother
was standing in the yard and saw
plainly what took place. The fact
that the blame was all placed on the
child, has caused me almost as much
grief as the loss of the child. I am
not seeking money, nor revenge, but
it seems hard to know that the child
was not given a square deal; she
was not on the concrete, neither did
she run in front of the car; she
stood waiting for the car to pass,
and the driver thinking she was go
ing across, apparently lost his head
completely and turned out on the
dirt shoulder and hit her, fracturing
her skull, breaking her leg above the
knee, and cutting and bruising her in
numerous places. No horn was
sounded and no brakes were applied,
the car running 200 feet or more af-
ter leaving her body.
Still, the coroner's jury rendered
a verdict that it was absolutely un-
avoidable," when not one witness
could say positively what happened.
They only knew what happened af-
ter the accident. Her f1fteen-year-old
brother was the only eye witness to
the tragedy, and the driver does not
deny his statements. It was acci-
dental, but not all her fault, nor did
her daddy tell her to remain where
she was until he returned for her,
as was published. Won't you give
that little form in the churchyard a
square deal?
Her Mother,
Belle Draper Steen.

EXPLAIN METHODS OF
FIGHTING JAP BEETLE

not bearing fruit may be sprayed
with l 1-2 lbs of arsenate OF LEAD
(powder) to which is added lz'5
lbs of the New Jersey standard
Drymix (sulfur-8 lbs, hydrated
lime-4 lbs. and spreader-O.5 lbs.)
and additional lbs of hydrated
lime. In certain cases where the
concentration of beetles has become
very heavy on the fruit OF early
ripening peaches. it may be posi-
bile to spray them with a contact
material, such as pyrethrum SOAP
which will kill the insects on con-
tact and will greatly reduce the IN
festation on the plants, probably
sufficient to carry the fruit over
or days, which is necessary IN or
der to bring it to maturity.
In the protection of grapes
against the attacks of the Japanese
beetle it should be remembered that
the punches OF fruit are never eat
en- by the Japanese beetle. 1t IS
therefore necessary that the spray
be applied to the foliage only. For
the protection of the grape foliage
Bordeaux Mixture, prepared ac-
cording to the 1880 formula should
be used. Three pounds of arsenate
of lead powder should be added to
each so gallons of the Bordeaux
Mixture and care should be taken
in it's application to have as little
go on the fruit clusters as is posi-
BILE. Grapes should not be sprayed
later than July 5th.
"It is recommended that shade
trees, rose bushes and other orna-
mental plants which can be spray
ed with arsenate of lead without in
jury, should be sprayed with coated
arsenate of lead, which IS now on
the market, at the rate of 8 lbs. to
so gallons of water. No flour or
| lime should be added to this mix
ture The advantage OF the coated
lead is that it remains on the fol-
iage much longer and in a much
more uniform coating than does the
arsenate of lead and flour. The re-
suits which have been obtained at
this laboratory indicate that a much

In some cases it is desirable to
use a contact spray or material
which will kill the beetles as ii
strikes them, but does not have any
poisonous properties which make ii

made. In such cases there are at
least two brands Of pyrethrum soar
now on the market, which are re-

Japanese Beetle Laboratory. The

spray to tender foliage. For the
