past and present Of the republic.
Difficulties that might exist be-
tween the two countries are re-
moved by the closer relations be-
tween hte two groups Of scholars.
Mexican educators believe that tie
six weeks study in Mexico City
does more to advance the cause
OF goodwill between the nations
than several years Of isolated lee
lures or studies would do.
At the present there are not the
facilities for entering the Mexican
capital from the south as there
are from the north. Eventually Il
Is hoped to build up in Mexico
City a melting pot Of informal gath
erings between the peoples Of the
two Americas that will give a feei-
ing OF addition TO the marks set
by the stay Of Ambassador Dwight
Whitney Morrow in Mexico and
Of the flying there Of Colonel
Charles A. Lindbergh.
Excursions from Mexico City to
the monastery Of Churubusco, the
suburb of San Angel, the wild Ven
ice of Xochimilco springs, to Pa
chuca. the Pyramid of the Sun. to
Cuernavaca (Morrow's home), the
temple of Quetzalcoatl, the valley
OF Cholula-these and Others are
reckoning to Americans, and the
call is being answered by a larger
number OF Americans each yea.

Spanish is given the fundamentals
Of the tongue IN an atmosphere
that could not be had in the United
States. Advanced students will find
in the government school courses
as high as they wish to attain.
While the mastering OF the

the rich wealth Of experience to be
gained by a visit in Mexico City
and the surrounding country can
not be over-emphasized, American
educators say.

Xank STUDIES in Mexico
Top Good Will

American students Of Spanish
are going more and more into
Mexico. Many r passing through
Brownsville.
The sister republic to the south,
American scholars have found. Of
fers more material, color. and first
hand information for the student
Of the language than could be had
in the United States, declares L.
Lopez Montero, Mexican Consul to
Brownsville.
Each summer, particularly, many
students avail themselves Of the
opportunity Of studying in the Ma
tional University Of Mexico. The
number going there has increased
annually.
Revolution in Mexico, we are as
sured by Mexican authorities, is
a thing Of the past and no longer
a matter OF consideration. Amer
lean and Mexican newspapers car
ry editorial comments eXpounding
the keynote that in no civilized
country car q general be greater
than the army. can the army be
stronger than the peoples govern
ment.
First Hand knowledge Sought
Industrial development in Mex
leo, particularly under the leader
ship Of President Pascual Ortiz
Rubio. is believed by many as on
the threshold of greater possibiii-
ties.
American students have taught
these fundamentals and are flock
ing to the southern republic to
gain a true insight into the lives
of persons Of an entirely different
heritage.
A trip to Mexico City to enroll
in the summer school Of the ma
tional university is alluring TO
young Americans in college study
ing the language and the people.
A check-up of the things learned
in school is made by a first hand

hatch eggs only from blood tested
stock.
Although all the fiocks under the
supervision of the State Board of
Agriculture were not blood-tested
this year, it is planned to have them
all done next year. 1T is also of sig
nificance to note that several flock
owners and hatcherymen are using
cockerels from Records of Perform
ance hens that have laid from 200
3O2 eggs in 365 days. The use Of
these cockerels will undoubtedly
benefit f1ocks not only from the
standpoint of increasing the aver
age flock production, but will intro
duce new blood and build UP the vi
tality of the focks
A system of poultry identification
has been developed to aid in detect
ing chicken thieves. 1t consists OF
tattooing the birds in the web OF the
wing with an indelible tattoo oil.
Each farm is assigned a different
number. Enforcement officers feel
that such a system will aid them IN
the detecting of thieves. Any poul-
tryman desiring to tattoo their blrds
should write to the Poultry Depart
ment. State Board of Agriculture
and a number will be assigned their
farm.

ORCHARD SANITATION
FOR CURCULIO CONTROL
Continued from Page u

Stearns states that seasonal condi-
tions during 1929 were generally
conducive to insect activity with the
result that the curculio was on the
rampage throughout this section of
the county and it went into hiber-
nation in unusually large numbers
last fall. The fruit growers in Della
ware, and especially in the Bridge
Vile district where two broods of
this insect developed last year, ex-
perienced severe damage to their
peaches and other fruit crops, so it
is very necessary that measures
should be adopted at once to guard
against a repetition of such losses
this coming year.
Experiences and observations have
shown that under abnormal wealth
er conditions such as we had last
summer it is impossible to success
fully combat the curculio by either
spraying or busting. In view Of this
fact, therefore, this control pro-
gram should, also, include the
cleaning up of rubbish and the drop
ped fruit in the orchards. The cur
culio lives over the winter in the
adult beetle stage and it hibernates
in fence rows, woodlands and waste
fields, and in piles Of prunings and
rubbish in and around the orchards,
making it of extreme Importance
that a general cleanup campaign be
waged by all the fruit growers dur
ing February and the early part Of
March in order to reduce the num-
ber of curculios appearing in the
spring.
In following this practice of bur-
ming the orchards, great care should
be taken to prevent injury to the
trees, fences and buildings, and it
should never be attempted without
adequate supervision and sufficient
labor to control any emergency that
may arise. Piles of prunings and
rubbish should not be burned closer
than 200 or 300 yards to the orchard
and even then the work should be
done on a still day or when the wind
Is blowing away from the trees.
