RESTOCKING STATE

The outlook for fishing in the
lakes and streams of the State this

copdng to Chester B. Townsend

Game and Fish Commissioners. Ac-
/ tivities of the commission in re-

hunting and FISHING season a good
one.
Thousands of yellow neds, pike
ana bass ami 'Other fish have been
placed in the ponds and lakes. Fifty
pairs of quail Rave been distributed
in each of the three counties of the
State, and in Sussex county thirty
pairs 'of pheasants have been freed.
Because of the danger of bring
ing tltlaremia into the State, no
jack rabbits from Missouri or Kan
sas have been imported this spring.
The State Board of Health eau
toned the commission against i'm
porting rabbits. Delaware is one
of the half dozen states which up to
this time has not had a case of this
which is somewhat similar
to typhoid fever. The disease is
contracted by handling the entrails !
Of the rabbit.

[Continued from frst taael

900. To this sum, is to be added
100000, which the School District
can bond itself for under the pres
ent two per cent school bonding
law. The General Assembly of 1925
will be asked to reimburse Mr.. du-
POnt for the balance.
The destruction of the Seaford
school is looked upon as a catas-
trOphe by Mr.. DUPONT and officials
of the Delaware School Founda-
ton. They stress the fact that as
the state finances are not fluid there
is no way for the state to meet the
emergency created by catastrophe
of this kind.
1t was also said that the consid-
erations which moved Mr.. dupont
to take the step he has are that
three school districts, Ellis, Wood
land and Flowers have already con-
solidated, and Tulls and Browns
are ready to consolidate. It is
thought that if there were a new.
modern school at Seaford, undoubt-
eddy several other districts would
enter the consolidation.

[Continued from first bage1


apples other than the Early Ripe
which will be nearing the pre-pink
stage, and while some burning of the
leaf tips might occur, it will not
cause any disturbance to the growth
of blossom buds.
Where spraying for apple scab is
only necessary the growers are be-
ing advised to use the commercial
lime sulphur to rs, or 8 gallons in
1872 gallons of water. In those Or
chards where the red mite, scale,
aphis and apple scab are to be con-
trolled it is recommended that the
commercial lime sulphur be used at
the rate of 20 gallons to $50 gallons
of water. With heavy insect infesta-
ton, however, the growers are ad-
vised to use an oil spray to which is
AIDED Bordeaux Mixture of the $3.50
formula, lime sulphur l TO 40
strength, or any commercial sulphur
compound that will mix with the
oil.
In regard to the early blooming
varieties of peaches which will be
showing pink this week, DR.. Adams
has advised that the growers use a
sulphur-lime dust or dry-mix for /
protection against the brown rot in
the event that damp and cool wea- !:
Their should occur.
If there are any fruit growers in
the county who are not receiving
this spray service they are request
ed to get in touch with the County
Agents Office where their names
will be placed on the mailing list to
receive these orchard spray notes /
and other information in regard to
insect and disease control.
