GREEN APHIS ATTACKS
LEAVES ON SHADE TREES
Forester Says That Dry Weather
Caused Ravages OF Pest

A number of shade trees in Mil
ford were attacked by tree pest
the early part of this week, and on
those trees visited by the pest many
of the leaves fell to the ground.
Persons whose trees were attacked
were much concerned about the
trouble. Such condition likewise
existed in Wilmington where num-
erous inquiries were made about the
pest. Edward Potter, Wilmington
city forester explained that the pest
is known as the green aphis and
that the dead leaves falling from
trees as result of the operations
of the insects do not mean that the
trees are dying. He further pointed
out that the insects do no harm to
trees.
The insects, gathering in hundreds
on one leaf, suck all the sap from
the leaf and then start working on
the steam eating it through and
causing the leaf to fall. 1t is not
detrimental to the tree in the slight
est degree, though, Mr.. Potter an
nounces, and tree owners need not
be alarmed.
The number of the insects seems
to be larger this year than in prev
ious years, because of the dry wea-

VIENNA POWER PLANT
APPROVED BY COMMISSION
Shore Concern To DismantIe Laurel
Plant Eventually

The Maryland Public Service
Commission has granted permission
to the Del-Mar-Va Power Company,
a subsidiary of the Eastern Shore
Gas and Electric Company, this
city, to build power plant for the
latter company at Vienna, Md. The
building of this plant means event
ual dismantling of the plant at
Laurel, Del.
The permit calls for the construc-
tion of REINFORCED concrete build
ing, II feet by 1872 feet, on the west
side of the Nanticoke River; also
the construction of switches into
the property from the B. c. and A..
Railroad and bulk heading for river
transportation.
Generating equipment will include
a 5000 Kilowatt Westinghouse tur-
bine, capable of generating $4,000
volts of electricity, to be installed
Immediately and another of "at
least an equal capacity" to be in
stalled after the first turbine is put
into operation.
Present installation and the build
ing is to cost 81, 100000 and will be
completed by April 1, 1928.
The Eastern Shore Gas and Elec-
trio Company has already built a
trans mission line from the site of
the plant at Rhodesdale for service
to Cambridge.
Another transmission line will be
built direct from the plant to Sails
bury. The line will be suspended
across the Nanticoke from steel
towers $50 feet above the surface
of the water.
After the first turbine is put into
operation the plant at Laurel, Del,
will be held in reserve to be ulti-
mately dismantled after the second
turbine is ready.
F. w. C. Webb, local attorney for
the company, today said that the
company officials have discussed no
plans for the removal of the general
offices from Salisbury to the new
Dlant.

messed Lindbergh Demonstration

Mr.. and Mrs. Harry M. Ennis, of
Milford, and Miss Mary Welch, of
Reading, Pa, returned Saturday
night from delightful automobile
trip through Virginia, and into
North Carolina, where they visited
Eugene Welch, formerly of Milford.
The route taken by the party carried
them along the Blue Ridge Noun
tains and through many of the his
toric places of Civil War fame. On
their return trip they had reached
Norfolk when they were advised of
the expected arrival of Colonel
Charles A. Lindbergh in Washing
ton Saturday morning. They changed
their plans for the return trip and
drove to the National Capitol where
they saw the tremendous ovation
and demonstration given to the
transatlantic flyer. Mr.. Ennis, in
describing this feature of the trip,
stated that as they drove up along
the Potomac River the road followed
it's way close on the banks of the
stream. The cruiser Memphis on
which Lindy returned passed within
a stones throw of the shore and the
automobile party very clearly saw
the returning hero. They then went
to the city and witnessed the parade
and heard Lindbergh and Coolidge
talk.

Last spring Fred B. Smith, who
operates poultry farm in the Shaw
nee district, west of Milford, sent to
the State of Oregon and purchased
ten cockerels for which he paid

Smith expects to realize about $500
from the chicks grown from the
stock purchased in Oregon in the
spring. Mr.. Smith devotes most of
his time to growing Barred Rocks

try raising. Other poultrymen in the
vicinity of Milford who devote all of
their time to this business are MAX
ing good money from their focks.

FRUIT GROWERS HEAR
MARKETING EXPERT
DIR. F. B. BOmberger Explains
Grading Methods Used By
Western States.

Over fifty commercial orchardists
from all sections of Kent county and
the State attended the meeting which
was held ON Thursday evening Of
last week in the Fruitland Grange
Hall in Camden under the auspices
of the Delaware Fruit Growers As
sociation to hear the subject of mar
keting farm products discussed by
DR.. Franklin B. Bomberger, Director
of the Marketing Bureau of the Del
Mar-Va Eastern Shore Association,
Salisbury, Maryland.
DR.. Bomberger just recently re-
turned from an extended trip to the
Pacific Coast where he was sent by
the Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore As
sociation to make survey of the
methods being employed by the fruit
and vegetable growers in that sec
ton of the United States in the CO.
operative marketing of their pro-
ducts, with view to gathering some
information which might be of val
ue in assisting the growers on this
Peninsula in solving some of their
problems of marketing.
One of the outstanding features in
corporated in all of the cooperative
organizations in the Pacafic Coast
region is that the growers believe in
united effort in the selling of their
farm products, as has been demon
strated many times by the success
with which those various associa-
tions have solved their marketing
problems almost three thousand
miles from the principal cities in the
eastern section of the country.
The first step to be taken by the
fruit growers in that region was to
lower the cost of production through
the installation of various types of
power machinery, and other me-
chanical devices, whereby the re-
duction of hand labor could be real
lied. AS the result of this program,
the growers have been able to OBJ
tain wider margin of profit, and
thereby place their fruits and vege-
tables upon the eastern markets in
direct competition with the same
class of products from the eastern
farmers.
One striking factor which was OBJ
served by DR.. Bomberger in visiting
the Hood River Valley section was
