GRAPE VINEYARD
FERTILIZATION

In order that additional data may
be obtained with reference to the
value of muriate of potash in the
production of grapes of higher
quality and increased yields per
acre, demonstrations with this fer
tilizer will be conducted again this
year in three commercial vineyards
in Kent county under the direction
of County Agent Russell e. Wilson,
who has been working with this pro-
ject in connection with the vineyard
fertilization program for the past
several years.
These demonstrations will be con-
Quoted in the vineyards of Denny
Pleasanton, southwest of Dover; l..
R. Jackson, near Wyoming, and Ed.
Todd, near Viola, where extra
amounts of muriate of potash have
been applied along with the regular
system of fertilization for each vine
yard. In addition to these three dem
onstrations, the fertilization project
which was established in 1924 in the
vineyards of B. B. Chase and N. W.
Taylor also will be continued with a
view to determining the combina-
tions or single elements in CONNER
cial fertilizers which will give the
most profitable results from the
standpoint of more and. better
grapes, and the maintenance OF
proper vine growth for fruit produc-
ton.
In securing the grape yields from
the eight different blocks in both the
Chase and Taylor vineyards during
the past six years, it has been OBJ
served that, with the exception OF
one year when the nitrate of soda
and muriate of potash block produc-
ed the greatest yield, the application
of superphosphate (169o acid phos-
phate) and muriate of potash re-
suited in the highest production OF
grapes, indicating that the addition
of potash has played an important
role in the growing of grapes IN
this section of the country. There
has also been a remarkable differ
ence in the yield of grapes and in
the compactness of the clusters in
those blocks which received the eX-
ira quantity of potash in the other
vineyards, with the result that many
of the growers are now following
the practice of using higher per-
centage of potash in their CONNER
cial mixtures each spring in their
vineyards.
Taking the 2-8-10 fertilizer at the
rate of from 600 to 800 pounds per
acre as the basic application for
grape vineyards in this section,
these demonstrations have been
planned so that the amount of po-
tash will be increased to Is and 20
per cent in some of the blocks. AS
an additional feature of these dem
.onstrations with muriate of potash
this year a chemical analysis of the
sugar content of the grapes produc-
ed in each block will be made, and
this information correlated with the
yield results and the size and COM
pactness of the clusters.

The Variety of Vegetables
To Be Planted in Garden
By Laura B. Rutherford
County Home Demonstration Agent

Do you know that on many farms,
more attention is paid to the prop
er diet for the hens and cows than
to the members of the family?
And, do you know that many chill
dren are underweight, have defec-
tive teeth and tonsils, and are not
getting a fair start in life because
they do not get enough of the right
kind of vegetables in their diet?
In a recent study among the mo-
theirs by Laura B. Rutherford, Coun-
ty Home Demonstration Agent, it
was found that most families do not
plant a wide variety of vegetables
nor do they plant surplus to pro-
vide for canning and storing for
winter use thus providing sufficient
vegetables to maintain the good
health Of the family the year round.
Very few plant or definitely plan for
leafy vegetables in the diet.
Also, in this same study and sum-
mary of health habits, it was Found
that out of approximately SOOO
school children, only about one
seventh have leafy vegetables in suf-
ficient amounts, less than one half
have two vegetables beside potatoes
daily. g
The physical examination OF
school children by the County
Health Doctor showed that about
$3.50 of the children suffer from
faulty nutrition, which means tnat
thew do not have enough of the
right kinds of food to build and re-
nair their bodies as we'll as build
I'm resistance against disease.
In the light of the above facts IS
if not time that the people OF our
community are becoming aware ol
tbe fact that a greater effort must
be made to supply their chlldren
with the necessary foods for Detter
health and life?
To bring these facts to the atten-
ton of the people of Sussex county,
the Sussex County Health Outlook
conference was held in Georgetown
on March 7. During this conference
certain recommendations were made
bv representative people OF sussex
county. Following is one OF the hoS'
important. soo,i1,,
sbould have a home garden whlch
will include the following varieties
of vegetables: Broccoli, spinach,
kale. swiss chard, cabbage, brussei
snrouts. lettuce, turnip and beet

beets, parsnips, asparagus, peppers
tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, peas
beans, carrots, squash. A succession
of vegetables should be planned anu

such vegetables, as cabbage, beets'

MUSCLE SHOALS BILL

There is no end of speculation in
the National Capital concerning the
Norris bill which has passed the
Senate and is now in the House. 1t
provides for government operation
of Muscle Shoals. In view of the
growing belief that President HooV-
er would veto the bill, some of the
House leaders will endeavor to pre-
vent action by that legislative
branch of the government at the
present session of Congress.
Anything that will be troublesome
to explain to the voters is unpopular
in Washington, and the disposition
on Capitol Hill is to sidetrack such
measures as Muscle Shoals.

L|NDY'S LANDING
Night Scene at Roosevelt
Field, With $4,000 Cheer
ing, on Local Screens.

The spectacular landing at night at
the brilliantly lighted Roosevelt Flying
Field, NJ Y, of Col. and Mrs. Charles
A. Lindbergh, after their crosS-country
fight was caught by The Evening Star
Universal newsreel cameraman and Is
showing today in the Warner Bros.
theaters, the Rialto, and houses In
nearby Maryland and Virginia.
Shots of his plane, which came buzz
ing over New York after making a hop
| across the country from the coast in
lax hours, breaking Hawks record by
about 8 hours, were taken by camera
| man who had gone up in plane from
Roosevelt Field. Great lights Illuminated
the field for miles around. Yet the
plane is first seen as a mere speck in
the sky, getting larger as 1t circled
above the landing field until it glided
gracefully to the ground.
Flyers Are Congratulated.
Thousands Of spectators are shown
surrounding the plane to congratulate
Indy and Anne, who had acted as
navigator in the one-stop trip. The
Talking Reporter tells Of the thrilling
incidents of this record flight and Of
other interesting events in the film.
Another brilliant air feat Is shown at
Matfer Field, Calf, where Army flyers
mobilixed in the air in the biggest
gathering of planes since the war.
Planes are shown sending out great
smoke screens to blind the enemy. A
great blanket of clouds was made by
the smoke, which hid the city Of San
Francisco from any possible enemy
lurking in the air.
French Schooner Rescued.
Many other interesting scenes in
clude the rescue Of q French schooner,
which was caught in an ice foe on the
coast of Newfoundland; the first trial

Indicate New
Changes For
NeckIne
By WILMA LA VILE

What is it that gives the eve
ming gowns of this summer
their look of newness? Most
people will answer that it's
their longer, fuller skirts, and
that is partially true, but If you
stop to consider well, you will
notice that the neck line and
top of the gown has changed
just as much as the skirt.
First of all. it's not as smart
to wear low decolletage as it
was last winter. The back Of
your gown may be cut very
low. but if it is, there will be
some other detail about it that
will keep it from looking bare.
According to Paris, it's just q
little bit newer to have gowns
cut only medium low in the
back, instead of extremely low,
as you will notice by several we
are sketching here.
Among the many ruses that
fashion employs to dress up the
neck line Of a gown are these:
The ruffle is often used all the
way around, either softly gath
cred or pleated. Nothing could
be more youthful or becoming.
Or perhaps there are bows tied
somewhere about the shoulder
straps or neck line that give
most dressed up appearance.
Patou, who Is famous for his
smartly feminine evening gowns
that are at the same time very
feminine, uses straps sometimes
intricate enough to be called
harness straps, in the neck line
of his gowns.
OF course you have noticed
that many capeletS and boleroS
swing about feminine shoulders
in the evening. They nearly
always achieve the effect Of
adding d little more to the gown
though In reality it may be just
as low as a perfectly plain cut
neck line. Again Empire sleeves
that sometimes drop over the
shoulders are smart and very.
very popular.
We can attribute two new in
fluences to Vionnet, who is CON
sidered the greatest Of all de
signerS in the use Of diagonal
lines that fit the gown. One
of these Is the cowl neck line.
The other Is the dsagonally cut
or one-sided neck line that is
flattering to almost anyone.
Take your choice among these
new fashion devices and be as
sured that any one of them viii
mark you as smart in the sum
mer Of 1880.
