1928 ASSOCIATED TOURS
GUIDE FOR MOTORISTS

Motorists who plan to take a va
cation tour, this summer, will be in
tereSted to know that the Automobile
Club of America has just published
the fourteenth edition of its annual
road book, the 1928 Associated Tours
Guide, which is now ready for dis
tributiOn.
The Guide in its one hundred and
twenty-eight pages, contains a
wealth of useful information for ex-
actly planning where to go on your
vacation trip and how to get there.
The motor maps, mileages and itin-
eraries shown in the Guide, covering
the vast area of the United States
east of the Mississippi and eastern
Canada, as well as the more popular
transcOntinental and transformation
routes, afford the motor vacationist
wide range of touring fields from
which to select.
In all, the Guide gives over one
hundred and twenty-five thousand
miles of the best, hard surfaced
highways in the country, especially
chosen for their charm of scenic
outlook, leading to seaside, noun
tain and inland resorts of rest and
recreation. For motorists who plan
to drive to any of the big conven-
tions which will be held this sum-
mer, the complete motor map of the
United States and corresponding it.
ineraries given in the Guide, will
furnish adequate information for the
entire trip. A large folding map Of
the entire eastern section of the
country, bound in the Guide, is han
dy for planning large scale tour.
A Feature of the Guide that motor
lists are apt to appreciate is that all
itineraries are so arranged as to al
low for logical stopping place at
the end of each days run, where ac-
commodations for the night in a
good hotel or inn may be found.
Both the National and State High
way numbering systems are shown
on the maps and in the routes. There
is also given a digest of all the state
motor laws, speed restrictions, Ii
cense regulations, ferry schedules,
as well as numerous maps showing
how to enter, leave or avoid them.
Among the tours with large maps
in the Guide are: Adirondack, Can
adian-Pacific, Cape Cod, Capitol,
Dixie, Granite State, Maine, Mid
West, Great Lakes to Gulf, Green
Mountain, Lake Land, Ideal, Long
Island, Montreal-Quebec, New Jer-
sey, Post Road to Boston, Real Tour
to the Berkshires, Scenic, Shenan-
doah and TranscontinentaL
For the convenience of motorists,
the Guide will be distributed through
local newsdealers in all parts of the
country or may be obtained by re-
mitting fifty cents, to cover cost and
postage, to The Automobile Club of
America, IL East 53rd street, New

peninsula daily from June Is to
September last year.
This was at the height of the
touring season, and means that not
less than 10000 automobiles licens-
ed in States other than the three
came to the Peninsula in the ten
week period.
In support of the increasing tour
ist traffic, gasoline tax increases are
cited by the association. In Della
ware this increase in 1926 was 13 per
cent, and last year there was an ad-
ditiOnal increase of 20 per cent over
1926. The increase in the two Vir-
ginia counties was from approx
mately 81 per cent, in 1926, to an
additional SO per cent last year.
The gasoline tax law of Maryland
prohibits making public information
of this nature, but it is safe to say,
the association holds, on the founda-
ton of individual checks maintained
in the Eastern Shore of Maryland
counties, that they experienced an
increase at least equal to Delaware
and the Virginia counties.
The increased percentage has in
each insance allowed for an increase
in the tax rates and for local car
1t is estimated that the 10000
cars brought 100000 visitors to the
Peninsula and that the total ex-
pended by tourists, in the two-and-
one-half-month period was $780,
900.
These figures do not include tour
lists coming in by railroad, water
lines or bus.

SPRAY NOTICES TO
GRAPE GROWERS

In connection with the grape
vineyard spray service program for
this season, copies of timely spray
notices in regard to the Importance
of the pre-blossom application of
Bordeaux Mixture, with the addi-
ton of arsenate of lead and good
sticker, for the control of the black
rot and the berry moth, were sent
out last week from the office of
Kent County Agent Russell E. Will
son to all the grape growers in the
county and the adjoining areas in
the state.
This spray should precede the
blossoming period just as closely as
possible, or when from five to ten
per cent of the blossoms are out.
For this particular application the
growers have been advised to use
1 IL pounds of powdered arsenate
of lead to each so gallons of the
Bordeaux Mixture, which should
consist of pounds of copper sui
phate and pounds of hydrated
lime to so gallons of water, and
also to thoroughly cover the vines
if an effective control is to be ex-
pected.
It is also being advised that the
growers use the arsenate of lead
and the sticker in the after-blossom
spray, which should be applied i'm
mediately following the blossoming
period, as further protection
against this destructive insect pest
The chief purpose of these spray
notices, therefore, was to place
special emphasis upon the import
ance of this pre-blossom applica-
tion as an effective treatment in
the control of the berry moth
which has been causing heavy loss
es to the crop in many of the vi1e-
yards in the county during tie
past two years. The other object
in view in sending out these warn
ings was to call the attention Of The
growers again to the recommended
spray schedule for the remainder of
the season, as several weeks ago
these farmers received from the
county agents Office in Dover cop
les of Experiment Station Bulletin
No. 154, "Grape Disease Control in
Delaware" by DR.. T. F. Manns,
plant patholOgist and soil bacteriOl-
ogist of the University of Delaware,
which contained the results of six
years of spraying demonstrations
and experiments conducted in Kent
county in regard to grape diseases
and their control.
