KENT GRAPE GROWERS
TODECUSS PROBLEMS
Meeting Will Be Held At Caesar
Rodney School Wednesday,
March 18th.

The most practical methods fol
the control of those plant diseases
and insects which are more or less
prevalent in many of the CONNER
cial grape vineyards in Kent coun-
ty and throughout the State will be
discussed at the grape growers
meeting which is to be held at the
Caesar Rodney School building
Camden-W Wyoming, on Wednesday
evening, March 10, at o'clock.
This meeting, which is being plan
ned by County Agent Russell E.
Wilson in cooperation with George
Butler, Vocational Agriculture In
structor at the Caesar Rodney
school, is another one of the series
of agricultural meetings for the
farmers in the county, and particu-
larly for the orchardists, poultry
raisers and grape growers in the
central. part Of the county.
The problems of grape disease
control will be discussed by DR.. T.
F. Manns, Plant Pathologist of the
University of Delaware, under whose
supervision the vineyard spraying
and busting demonstrations for the
control of black rot and other dis
eases were conducted in Kent coun-
ty for a number of years in coop
GRAFTON with County Agent Wilson
and several commercial growers. DR..
Manns has had considerable expert
ence with the various diseases of
the grape in this section, as well as
in other parts of the United States,
and his talks on this subject are
always interesting and full Of infor-
nation which is of practical value to
the growers in their spraying oper-
ations.
The other speaker on this pro-
gram for March 10 will be DR.. L. A.
Stearns, Entomologist of the Della
ware Experiment Station, who will
present the control practices for the
grape berry moth, leaf hopper, and
other insects which attack our vine
yards. DR.. Stearns came to Della
ware last November from the Ohio
Experiment Station, and since he
has been in this State but a short
time, this meeting will give the
growers an opportunity to become
better acquainted with him, and to
learn of the latest spraying recon-
mendations for their vineyards.
All grape growers in the county
and State are cordially invited to
attend this meeting which has been
planned for the chief purpose OF
bringing together all those people
who are interested in grape culture
and talking over plans for the COM
ing year.

BIRD MIGRATIONS

One of the most marvellous things
in nature, is the migration of birds.
1t seems a most amazing thing that
these little creatures will return
year after year from flights of hun
dreds and thousands of miles, to the
same locality, and often nest in the
same spot.
What instinct is it that tells bird
down in the far away jungles of
South America, that the time has
come for him to set out for his sum-
mer work, and that guides him over
all these vast spaces, over long
reaches of ocean, back to the little
home where he nested before?
We study the habits Of these birds
until we can predict what they will
do, but what power gives them this
intelligence beyond anything we
could do without scientific instru-
ments and tools? Anyway we well
come the results, and the first bird
arrivals of spring are as sweet as
the Homecoming of our children, and
the world seems cheerier after they
arrive.

SELLING ACTIVITY

Different business people meet the
situations of trade in a different
spirit. If some men find trade dis
appointing, they lay the trouble OFF
on hard times, or the lack of the
support they should get from their
townspeople. But such complaints
do nothing to bring in trade.
Another type of man does not
spend any time lamenting conditions
that he can't help. He realizes that
there are always adverse conditions
that have to be struggled against.
He sets out to see what he can do
to meet those conditions.
If trade does not come in as fast
as he wants it, he reasons that the
trouble is probably with himself. He
sees that the country is as a whole
prosperous and the people are
spending a lot of money somewhere.
He asks how he can get a larger
share of that expenditure.
He usually reaches the conclusion
that he has not done enough aggres-
siveness hustling after that trade.
So commonly the first thing he does
is to start advertising on a larger
scale. He has faith to believe that
if the people know what he has to
sell, the excellent goods he shows,
the low prices and bargains he Of
fers all the time, they will at least
be interested to come in and see
them.
He does not propose to be forgot
ten and ignored. He knows that if
he keeps his name before the public,
the idea will spread that he has a
live business, that he is a hustler,
and that it is not good judgment to
buy without investigating his lines.
So the people flock to his store.
When they get there, they buy goods.
Not many more complaints are
heard from that kind of man. We
have many of them in Milford.

UNEMPLOYED WOMEN

When a man with family to sup
port is out of work, and after dill
gent effort can't find anything to do,
something seems wrong. Everything
possible should be done to find en-
ployment for all such.
Also the cases of unemployed
women are often very pathetic
Many widows and deserted wives
with one or more children to care
for, have a most difficult problem to
solve. Still, the average woman
without a job is not quite so badly
off as the unemployed man, as she
does not in the majority Of cases
have a family to support.
Many women who can't find work
in factories and offices could sup
port themselves by doing house
work, assuming that they were will
ling to take some pains to fit them
selves for such tasks. They thus
have a resource which the unem-
ployed man lacks, although women
and girls who have fitted themselves
for Office work, might feel it a great
hardship and perhaps below their
dignity, to perform domestic tasks.
Domestic service is more or less
unpopular, because it is claimed
that it does not have a good social
standing. Yet it is precisely as hon
orable to cook and clean in a home,
as it is to work in a factory or Office.
The average domestic servant
probably earns higher pay today,
the value of food and lodging being
counted, than the average woman
worker in factories and offices. Do
mestic service has been unpopular
in part, because women required
their helpers to work too long
hours. If they wish to attract more
workers, they should be
more generous in this respect. But
there are great many families to-
day where the women who are do
ing their own housework, would
hire helpers and give them comfor-
table homes, if they could find such
at price they can afford
10 pay.

STOPPING WAR

Now the scientists claim they have
the power to put an end to war.
They spoke just after the business
men, or capitalists. Previously the
politicians seemed to think it was
exclusively their job, but preachers
and teachers and various propaganda
lists were back of them and ready to
claim the credit if anything was ac-
complished. The danger now ap-
pears to be that the broth may be
spoiled by too many cooks. So many
people are taking a hand in the abO-
lition of war that quiet peace-lovers
are beginning to get uneasy.

LADY AsTOR,s MESSAGE

Nancy Langhorne Astor, famous
native of Virginia and now Viscoun-
tess of Astor and first woman mem
ber of the British parliament, gave
notable message to Americans in
a radio talk on the naval confer
ence. She dwelt on the thought that
the nations should think less about
having to fight each other, and more
about helping each other.
The idea of total disarmament can
not now be considered. But the best
projections against war in future
will not be armed forces but the
spirit of justice, the realization of
the folly of war, and international
friendship. No nation will ever want
to fight another people who have
handed out generous helping hands
to it.

SPRING THOUGHTS

If people were strictly philosoph-
ical they would find all seasons and
all kinds of weathers alike to their
unclouded spirits. They would be
strong and optimistic even when
skies are darkest and weather chill
lest.
But being human, they are sensi-
tive to their environment. They are
happier in sunshine than in storm.
And so it has always been human
nature to consider the springtime as
the most hopeful season. People get
a reaction from the changes of ma
ture, the ascent Of the sun to higher
attitudes, the growing warmth, the
return of bird favorites, the revival
of nature, the prospects for coming
harvest.
These changes indicate a rising
tide on the part Of nature. AS the
flowing tide of the ocean fills the
flats and hOllows, so the revived ac-
tivity of nature puts new energy in
to peoples minds and hearts. 1t is
great time for new beginnings. Let
us all have some here in Milford.

THE REASON many motorists are
arrested for going so miles an hour

A NATION AGAMST RELIGION

N IVA AAOAN 4AO@AA4NACA AA6AAOtAOAN
One of the most amazing develop
ments of modern. times is the war
fare which the Russian soviet gov
ernment is waging against all relig-
ion. The execution Of priests and
other churchmen has become COM
mon feature of the news. Sacred
images are burned, churches are put
to use as museums or storehouses,
church bells are confiscated.
The ceremonies of religion are
blasphemed and ridiculed. A soviet
newspaper recently printed a bias
phemous picture representing God
with a pipe in his mouth. Religious
education is denied to children, and
no Sunday schools are permitted.
The soviet authorities take pride in
their godlessness, and they educate
their children into theistic beliefs.
The soviet government claims that
the Christian churches have been
used as a tool to keep the people
satisfied and contented under the al
legged abuses of the capitalistic sys-

WHAT CITIES ARE SPENDING
Not many people realize what a
tremendous program of construc-
ton by municipalities is to be car
ried on this summer, as the result
of the recent business stabilization
movement. Reports from 1000 cit
les show that the expenditures of
these municipalities for public
works will be $5OO,OOO,OOO greater
than they were in 1929.
Preparation for these expenditures
is probably one reason why the
steel mills made such an unexpect-
edly quick recovery from the ef-
fects of last November's smash in
the security markets. The engi-
neering departments of many of
these cities must have been order
ing material they are going to need.
This indicates that many idle peo-
pie will soon be set to work, which
must have a very favorable effect
on the country's business.
SeS
wealth is to destroy all religion.
They call religion "the opiate of the
people"
1t will be interesting to see what
effect this has on national charac-
ter. So far in the world it has been
to create social order and
human welfare, in countries that had
no religion. The more intelligent |
the religion was, the better off peo-
pie were. This theory certainly |
seems to work out, for in our own
country people do not like to live in
without churches. When
ever churches have been founded in
new communities previously without
hem, peoples conduct is improved
and the public welfare gains.
If the theories that have so far
worked out we'll are verified in Rus
'ia, there will be a deterioration in
character in Russia following the
destruction of religion. That coun-
ry can be expected to relapse into

ST PATRICK

The annual recurrence OF ST
Patrick's Day stirs enthusiasm IL
the hearts of millions of descend
ants of the Irish race, which mas
played so large part in the MS
tory of America.
This old saint must have oeen
one of the most forceful figures oil
antiquity. One old saying was thaI
he found no Christians in Ireland
and left no heather, which may have
exaggerated the case somewhat but
evidently he was one of the most
persuasive preachers that ever llV-
ed.
St. Patrick lived in the fifth CEN
fury. and times were very rough IN
those days everywhere. For a man
to go among those wild tribes, IN
primitive time of near barbarism'
and persuade the turbulent people
of those days to accept a gospel OF
peace and gentle living like the
Christian faith, indicates either su-
perhuman power or else a unique
gift for swaying peoples thought
It is no wonder that the memory Oh
this robust old saint has come down
so clear and vivid out of the mist
Of those ancient centuries.

COVERED WAGON CENTENNIAL

COVERED WAGON CENIENNAAh
Congress has authorized the COM
memoration of the Tooth anniver-
sary of the departure of the first
wagon train from st. Louis to Ore
gon. which left April 10, 1880. The
event thus recognized began one OF
the most romantic and difficult mi
grations ever recorded in history.
Beautiful cities and towns now
lie all over the territory that was
then a hazardous waste. 1t seems
almost incredible that within the
lifetime of living people, all these
regions were a trackless wilder
ness.
These early attempts to cross this
mighty desert were even more per-
ilous than the voyages Of the early
explorers who crossed the Atlantic
ocean. The greater part of these dar-
ing adventures left their bones to
bleach on the sands of the desert.
The people who set out from the
eastern cities on these ventures
knew that they might never return.
It is hard to tell which was the
greatest peril that they encountered,
the bands of hostile Indians and
outlaws, or the perils of mountains
and desert. The Indians were ma
turally exasperated at seeing their
choicest possessions gobbled up by
the palefaces. They took their last
stand on the plains with the feeling
that they must do or die to save a
remnant of their old empire.
AS we ride along our smooth
roads in our highly developed auto
mobiles, we can not conceive what
it must have been to drive a cover
ed wagon over mighty mountains
having scarcely suggestion of any
trail. Or what it was to travel day
after day without water, received by
futile mirages.
Their tolls and sufferings and sac
rifices have given us this great uni
ted country, held together by its
bands of steel and wire and ether
waves, never again to be separated,
and ever drawing closer together as
communication improves.
