FRUIT GROWERS ARE
URGED TO SPRAY NOW
[Continusd from first bagsl


standard sulphur-arsenate. of leat
lime dust should be used at thl
particular time.
Weather conditions this mOntl
have been more favorableS for or
chard work than at any time during
April, and although apple scab ap
peared during the second week IL
May for the first time this year, the
general infection observed at this
period is no greater than was foupc
at this time last year. The hrsl
infection occurred during the early
pink stage, and favorable weather
for scab development continued
following the pink stage with the
result that further infection will be
evident about the third week in
May on the leaves from the leaf
buds. The small leaves in the
blossom clusters are showing gen.
eral infection of the frog-eye leaf
spot, but this disease will not be-
come a disturbing factor if it is
confined to these leaves only. The
curling of leaves and frost cracks,
however, as the result of low tenn
perature, are very common in many
orchards this spring.
Rosy aphis is showing more prevail
ence than last year, and this is
especially true in Kent county, but
it has been noted that this insect is
less severe in those orchards where
the oil sprays were used in the de-
layed dormant stage of growth. The
attention of the fruit growers is
also being called to leaf hoppers
which are putting in their appear
ance, as we'll as the curculie on
both the apples and peaches.
Peaches are ready for the next
spray about three weeks after petal
fall, or two weeks following the
shuck stage. This spray is a much
needed one for protection against
the curculio, brown rot and scab,
and should consist of dry-mix at
the rate of so pounds to 200 gallons
of water, to which should be added
3 pounds of arsenate of lead and 10
pounds of lime.
In the event dust is to be used,
the growers are advised to use 10
1920 combination, or an 80-5-15
formula, if frequent applications
are being made. If aphis should be
present, 11z pints of nicotine sui
phate (Black Leaf 4O) should be
added to each 200 gallons of spray
mixture. The efficiency of this mix
ture will be greatly increased by |
the addition of two quarts of fish |
oil soap to this amount of spray.
Proper spraying often decides |
whether a crop will be a success or
a failure, so all the growers are
being cautioned regarding the i'm
portance of a thorough covering on
their trees in order that they may
expect the best results in the con-
troll of the many insects and dis
eases that are troublesome in the
during the season.

n'enf, Perfection Stoge Company
I WISH you could have come
Il out last time, Jane" said
Nancy, as they drove to the home
of a Kitchen Club member. 1--WE
worked out the most adorable col
or scheme for Mrs. Collins kitch-
en-. That's the place we are going
this afternoon, to see how shes
finished it up, and to get some
new recipes. There's an inside
story to her kitchen which will
explain some of the things you
see there.
"Mr. and Mrs. Collins have
just recently married. He was a
widower with the worst little boy
you ever saw. Mrs. Collins is one
of those motherly souls who can't
let anything go hungry. Stray cat,
tramp or whatever it is, it gets
fed if it goes to her. She hasn't
said anything about it. But we all
think that her real reason for fix
ing up her kitchen is to get hold
of that boy. Her theory seems to
be that if she can make him COM
Portable and feed him properly,
he won't be such a problem.

This was put in especially for the
boy, so that Mrs. Collins could help
him get his lessons. She has it on a

uses the board, too, to make notes of
groceries she needs to order.

COUNTY GRAND JURY
CONDEMNS SUSSEX JAIL
Report Submitted To Judges Says
Jail Should Be Enlarged Or Re
placed By New One.

The members of the Sussex Coun-
ty Grand Jury, after inspecting the
county property last week, have sub
mitted report to the Judges of the
Superior Court of Sussex county in
which they condemn the present Jail,
and suggest that it be either enlarg-
ed or replaced by another new
building. Suggestions are made for
the public toilets, and the Aims
house is found to be in good condi-
ton. The report as submitted fol-
lows:
To the Honorable Judges of the
Superior Court of Sussex County,
Delaware.
Gentlemen
We, the members of the Grand
Jury of Sussex County, Delaware,
submit the following report from
our visit of inspection to the Jail
and Almshouse:
1t is our opinion relative to the
Jail that immediate steps should be
taken by the County Commissioners
to enlarge present Jail or build
new one. We found about forty
prisoners occupying four rooms and
consider present conditions a dis
grace to the county.
We also recommend that the pub
lie toilet in the rear of the Jail be
torn down Immediately, and a new
one built in the rear of the court
house. We feel this change an alb
solute necessity. We feel that Sher-
if Bryan is doing as we'll as anyone
could under present circumstances.
We found sanitary and comfort
at the Almshouse very
satisfactory. The buildings in a
state of good repair. We would
recommend that the road from the
highway to. the county building be
graveled and the holes filled, as we
found two or three in very bad con-
dltion and detrimental to the health |
Of the inmates.

LATE APPLE PRICES ARE
DISAPPOINTING TO ALL
Some Growers Put Their Crop In
Storage To Await Better Prices

Late apples are going forward to
market by the scores of truck loads
daily. They were never any better
than they are this fall, and because
of storms during the growing season
only the perfect fruit remains to be
picked.
The only disappointing feature is
the price, growers say. Wholesalers
obtained them at 81 to $1.40 bushel
hamper. Some growers are storing
their apple crop hoping that they
may be able to obtain a better price
within the next six months. Storage
plants are charging thirty cents a
bushel for six months storage. If
the consignee removes the apples
within six months the charge is just
the same, thirty cents. Apples will
keep in storage from one to three
years, provided the temperature is
properly maintained at fraction of
a degree above freezing.
The Concord grape crop in Della
ware is from sixty to eighty per
cent harvested. Jumbo baskets to
the wholesaler brought forty cents,
which is not a very desirable price,
in the opinion of growers. Some
owners of vineyards contracted to
sell their entire output at forty cents

MILFORD REPUBLICANS
OPEN HEADQUARTERS.
Large HOOver-Curtis Banner Will
Be Strung Across Walnut Street
Probably Next Week.

Republicans in Milford will com
mence a strenuous campaign next
week, and it will be continued with
every possible effort to interest the
voters in the Republican candidates.
Former Senator 1. Dolphus Short
has asked for and secured the prom
Use of large banner of Hoover and
Curtis from the State Republican
Headquarters. Just as soon as this
banner arrives it will be placed in
front of Republican headquarters,
which will be opened on Walnut
street in the business section. The
Republicans in Milford have made
it a part of their campaign strategy
to withhold an active canvass and
campaign drive until late in the
campaign. With the opening of the
headquarters, possibly next week,
the workers will start in earnest
and an intensive drive will be con-
Quoted until the close of the polls on
November 9Th. The Republicans in
Milford are united this year and ex-
pect to give substantial majorities
for every candidate on the ticket on
both the North and South Milford
sides of the town.

BURTON SENTENCED ON
MANSLAUCHTER PLEA
Negro Given Light Sentence. Court
Believes Self-DefenSe Plea

George w. Burton, colored, of
near Cedar Greek Mills, east of Mil
ford, said to be about seventy years
old, who killed Fisher Smith, also
cOlored, on March 10, this year, was
sentenced to serve one month in the
Sussex County Jail by Chief Justice
Pennewill Monday afternoon. In
imposing sentence, the court stated
that in their opinion it was a case
of self defense.
Burton pleaded guilty to man
slaughter at the April term of court
this year, and since that time has
been in prison. Having already
served five months, it was the opin-
ion of the court that an additional
month was all the time he should be
confined. Smith is said to have
gone to Burton's home at night and
called him out and pounced upon
him because of some differences that
existed between them. Burton, it is
stated, managed to get away from
him and procure his gun and in
second encounter shot him.

MARYLAND POULTRY
MEN TO TOUR della.
WicOmicO, Worcester And Somerset
FancierS To Start Jaunt Oct. II

Final arrangements have been
made for the first annual tri-county
poultry tour, conducted by the ex-
tension service for the poultry grow
ers of Wicomico, Somerset and Wor-
cester counties, Maryland, to the
leading plants in Delaware and New
Jersey. 1t is expected that poultry
growers from Dorchester and Caro-
line counties will join the party at
Georgetown.
The tour will start from Berlin,
Md, Wednesday, October 18th, at 8
a. m.
Among the places to be visited
are: The D. w. Steele farm at Oc-
can View; the plant of A. C. Jones,
Georgetown; the William Haas farm
near Dover, and the North American
egg-laying contest at Milford.
At New Castle the party will take
the ferry to PENIS Grove, N. j.:
drive to Bridgeton and spend the
night there. Thursday morning the
tour will continue to Vineland, the
leading poultry section of New
Jersey.
In Jersey the poultry farm of Paul
Smith will be visited This farm has
10000 pullets in a four-story house.
There are $4,000 to 10000 birds on
this farm and confinement brooding
is practiced.
At the Green Gate Poultry Farm
a fine 3,00O-bird plant, practising
sanitation for disease and parasite
control, will be observed.
The Vineland egg-laying contest,
where there will be seen 100 Compel
ing pens, will also be visited. Some
of the party will likely attend the
annual meeting of the New Jersey
Poultrymen Association to be held
Friday at Atlantic City. The others
will return home Thursday after
noon.
Each of the county agents of Wi
comico, Somerset and Worcester
are hoping to have at least fifty
make the trip.

DEMOCRATS REVISE
DELAWARE CLAIMS
Rebuffed BY RaskOb In Plea For
Funds To Swing State To Smith

Democratic leaders who have
been claiming Delaware for Smith
are revising their forecast because,
they say, Chairman Raskob, of the
Democratic National Committee, has
turned down their request for finan-
cial aid.
A delegation went to see Mr.. Ras-
kob in New York. He listened and
then informed his visitors there
were enough wealthy men in Della
ware to finance the State campaign,
and that the National Committee
needed all available funds else
where.
The decision caused lot of gloom
in Democratic circles. On top of
that the campaign to swing the Neg
70 vote from the Republican Party
has collapsed.
Republican leaders say the State
will give Hoover one of the largest
majOrities in the history of Della
ware. Reports from all three coun-
ties tell of gains made. The women
are particularly active.
The Statewide primaries for coun-
ty officers and members of the Leg
islature, while productive of some
bitter contests, seem to have left no
bitter feelings. The defeated candi-
dates all have pledged themselves
to support the nominees. The ac-
ton of Sussex leaders of appor-
tioning the county offices among the
two factions has done much to
create harmony in the State.
One of the most important meas
ures to come before the Legislature
will be the bill of Pierre S. du Pont
to revise the tax-cOllection system
in the State.
