COUNTY AGENTS
ADVISE GROWERS
ON COOLING MOTH
continued 1ro1n first page)

continued 1rOIn first page)
the past few weeks by DR.. Dozier
and County Agent Wilson for data
concerning the emergence of the
adult moths, and it has been fOund
that the long period of cold nights
and cool days during the past month
has undoubtedly retarded the devel-
Opment of the larvae to the adult
moth stage. From the fact that these
cages still contain the codling moth
in both the worm and pupal stages,
and in some cages a few adult moths
are beginning to issue, everything
would seem to indicate a long per-
iod of egg deposition. This fact only
emphasizes the absolute necessity
for the maintenance of a thorough
cover spray in which an arsenical
compound has been used.
Although adult moths have been
noted in packing houses as early as
May 20, and few moths have emer-
ged in the small observation cages
to date, the maximum emergence
will probably not occur until some
time this week. Allowing the usual
length of ten days required for mat
ing, egg deposition and Matching, the
next cover spray must be of the trees
in readiness for the young worms as
they are appearing. 1t is strongly
advised, therefore, that thorough
spraying with arsenical mixtures be
applied at this particular time. For
general use on late varieties of ap-
pies it is is recommended that 8
pounds of lead arsenate be used to
the 200-gallOn tank of spray solution,
while on the early varieties it is ad-
visable to reduce the amount of lead
to 6 pounds per tank.
In addition to these six small
cages, DR.. Dozier and County Agent
Wilson have secured the cO-Opera-
tion of four commercial fruit grow
ers to construct large screened cages
twelve meet square around bear
ing apple tree in each of these four
orchards this spring. These large
cages have been built in the or
chards of J. Leonard Soper, S. H.
Baker, Frank c. Bancroft and S. H.
Derby, and been infested by placing
in them several baskets which were
heavily infested with the codling
moth larvae, nd from which the
adult moths will emerge and attack
the apples on the trees in these
screened areas.
The object in enclosing the entire
tree in each case is to study the
complete life history of the first
brood, as well as that of the other
two broods of the codling moth in a
confined area with view to advising
the fruit growers concerning the
emergence of the second and third
generations of adult moths whose
larvae cause such great injury to the
late varieties of apples.

missioner for Delaware, explained
that the preparation has an alcohol
ic content of between 80 and so per
cent. 1t has been sold in large
number of drug and grocery stores
in the State during the last two or
three years. The ginger in its double
strength form has been manufactur-
ed for about that length of time.
Mr.. Hill said the preparation may
be handled from now on only by
those who obtain permits. Whether
a person, to obtain the ginger, will
have to obtain a physicians pre-
scription, will likely be ruled on by
the Treasury Department later, he
said.
Any person who has the prepara-
ton in his possession or sells it
without a permit is liable to arrest
on a charge of violating the Ma
tional Prohibition Act, Mr.. Hill
added.

FEWER BERRIES NOW BY RAIL

Shipments of Strawberries over
the Delaware Division of the Penn
sylvania Railroad this season are
smaller in comparison with the
shipments for the corresponding
days and periods of last year. The
shipments began about three weeks
later than last year, and indications
are that the railroad will carry con-
siderable less of this fruit than in
several years.
Thousands of quarts of berries
are being transported to various
points in New Jersey, New York and
the Eastern States, by motor trucks.
Last Monday 325,S76 quarts Of
berries were shipped over the Della
ware division, as compared with
418,576 quarts for the correspond
ing day last year. The total ship
ments to date is 744,553 quarts as
compared with 3,434,266 quarts for
the corresponding period last year.

Frank Bouchar, steward at the
Oregon hotel cafe, was telling me
the other day about another valley
of which the world knows nothing.
It's up near the North Pole. Bouch-
ard was u steward with the Cook
polar expedition. He tells how he
and some companions found a little
valley, shut off from the rest of
the world by mountains of ice,
where some 250 people lived in the
midst of plenty. This valley, Bouch
ard says, was green and productive
and the people were abundantly sup
piled with water from hot springs.
The people Were white, according to
Bouchard, but they spoke a strange
language that none of the visitors
could understand.
That is strange and romantic
story, folks. Nature is taking care
of that little group of people up
there thousands of miles from the
outposts of civilization. But think
what il would mean to US to live
our lives in such a restricted way.
We long at times for such things.
But why should We! We have ro-

il is the romance of the dollar. Yes,
Just that, the romance of our old
