GRAPE GROWERS ADVISED
TO SPRAY VINES EARLY
Continued from first page)

on the canes which are tied up, this
source of infection on the new wood
is known as the "carry-over" which
affects this new growth on the first
seven internodes before the cane is
five inches long. 1t is of greatest
Importance, therefore, that this new
growth be thoroughly covered with
the Bordeaux spray at the time
when these disease spores are ready
to develop and disseminate. This
first spray is applied when the new
growth is from One-half to three
fOurths of an inch in length, and
consists of $3.50 strength of Bor-
deauX mixture. This formula calls
for pounds of copper sulphate, 6
pounds of hydrated lime and so gal
Ions of water.
The second application is recon-
mended when the growth has reach
ed a length of from five to eight
inches, and for this spray the grow
ers use the $3.50 formula of Bor-
deaux in those power outfits equip
ped with spray guns, and 4-4-50
mixture in those sprayers operated
ny LTdCJlOu power.
The next application, which is
known as the pre-blossom spray, is
one of the most important in the
prevention of spread of black rot,
and should be applied just as close
to the blossoming period as possible.
Bordeaux mixture of the same
strength as recommended for the
second spray is used for this appli-
cation. AS a control for the first
brood of the berry moth, however, it
is advisable to add 11a pounds of ar
senate of lead to each fifty gallons
of spray material, and if leaf hop
pers are prevalent one pint of 40
per cent nicotine sulphate should
also be added at this particular time.
The after-blossom spray is an
other very essential application for
the complete control of black rot
and anthracnose, as we'll as the
berry moth, rose bug and leaf hop
pers. The $3.50 Bordeaux is used,
as recommended in the two other
sprays, with one pint of cheap mo-
lasses added to each fifty gallons of
spray material for the control of the
rose bugs especially.
The fifth spray is advised at the
time the grapes are the size of peas,
which is generally about two weeks
after the pre-blossOm spray. The
$3.50 Bordeaux mixture, with the
arsenate of lead, is again used for
this application for the further Grad
ication of these various diseases
and all insect troubles including the
root-worm. If weather conditions
are favorable for the development of
rot and mildew as the fruit begins
to ripen, it may be necessary to ap-
ply a later spray using colorless
materials such as soda, ammonia
cal copper carbonate, or neutral
copper acetate.
Although every effort has been
made by Kent County Agent Russell
E. Wilson to include every grape
grower on the list to receive this
spray service. there may be few
growers who are not receiving this
material, consequently these grow
ers should get in touch with the
county extension office in Dover if
they desire this spray service each
season.

MANY TOWNS ASK FOR
STATE AID FOR new
SCHOOL BUILDINGS
lContinued from Page Onel


The members took no action on
the question of inroads made into
the school fund by bills passed by
the last legislature. The members
of the board felt that it would be
useless to discuss the matter until
thev have time to look into the sub
iect and until it is learned whether
the Governor approves the bills now
before him.
President of the Board, G. S. Will
liams, was elected a member of the
Americanization Committee, it hav-
ing been customary that member
of the State Board be a member of
that committee.
There was a lengthy discussion
as to the distribution of S4S,000 for
teachers salaries included in bill
ypassed by the legislature to meet a
deficiency.
It was decided to allow the fol-
lowing amounts to the several eis-
tricts based on net enrolment, aV-
erage daily attendance and number
of teachers: State board, $21,677.S0;
Wilmington, $17,O23.66; Claymont,
SSO7 .43; Alexis l. DUPONT. S476.S9;
Newark, $1,O2069; New Castle,
S65S.92; Smyrna, $758.4S; Dover,
S9S37O; Caesar Rodney, S599.70;
Harrington $7O2.45; Milford $S94.79;
Georgetown $470.3O; Lewes $5S5.S5;
Seaford, S6O3.S4; Laurel, $772.6O;
total, SAT, 7,9S6.60.
1t was decided to employ Major
P. S. Prince as State Physical Di-
rector, for another year, part of his
salary being paid by the State
Board and part by the D. I. A. A.
Association, which association has
been paying Major Prince this year.
The board discussed the transpor-
tation problems, including the con-
tracts with bus drivers, it being de-
cided that after three years, new
contracts would be asked for in
which former bus drivers could
compete for the position if they so
desired.
The following resolution was pre-
sented and adopted:
Resolved, That the business man
ager be authorized to notify boards
of school trustees to whom allot-
ments for repairs, upkeep and main
tenance have been set up, to 1ile
with the State Department of Pub
lie Instruction on or before May 10,
1927, all bills against the aforesaid
allotment for the current school
year, and
Resolved, That the Business Man
ager be authorized to withdraw any
unused balances in the allotmentS
aforesaid, that may remain to the
credit of any school district after
the aforesaid bills have been paid,
and
Resolved, That the right of the
school districts to incur any addi-
tional bills for repairs, upkeep and
maintenance shall be only upon ap-
plication of said Districts and ap-
proval by the Department, and
Resolved, That the Business Man
ager be, and he is hereby authorized
to use any or all of the balances in
the aforesaid accounts for the pay
ment of the following:
(a)-Deficits in Institutional Ser
vice. costs.
(b)-Excess costs in districts
where allotments for repairs, up
keep and maintenance have been in
sufficient.
(c)-To provide for costs of ma
terial or labor where work may DE
