ORCHARDISTS MEET FRIDAY
VIII Hold an Important Meet at
Camden on CodIing Moth Control

At the request of a special COM
nlittee of orchardists appointed to
cooperate with DR.. L. A. Stearns.
entomologist of the Delaware ex-
pertinent station, in formulating
plans for the most practical and
effective control measures for the
codling moth, letter has been
maield from the Office of County
Agent Russell E. Wilson to each
fruit grower in Kent county in re-
gard to a meeting which will be
held in the Fruitland Grange Hall
in Camden, Delaware, on Friday
evening, December 10, at 8 o'clock.
At. a similar meeting of fruit
growers which was held in Cam
den on September 4, for the pur-
pose of discussing the codling
moth situation and control prac-
tices, J. Leonard Soper, Herbert c.
Richardson and Arthur F. Walker
were selected as members of this
special committee to assist DR..
Stearns in planning a control pro
gram for Kent county for next
year. In view of the severe pre-
valence Of the codling moth in
many of the orchards in this Sec
ton this past season, which result
ed ia large numbers Of apples be-
ing stung by this insect, a control
program supplementary to the
regular spray schedule was advis-
ed by the experiment station en-
tomologist in an effort to solve
this problem. This program in
cluded such practices as scraping
and banding Of apple trees, dispos-
ing Of all drop and Gull fruit which I
contained the cooling moth worms, |
and properly storing all baskets
and other containers which were \
used in the orchards or packing
houses during the past year. These
recommendations may be regarded
as guide posts on the road to a
cleaner apple crop in 1881. All of
these control methods will be dis
cussed in detail at this meeting on
Friday night Of this week, and it
IS expected that large crowd of
fruit growers from all sections of
the county and state will be pres
ent 70 take part in this discussion.

Opening the kitchen door his eye
caught sight of rabbit eating
leaves in his cabbage patch. With
game he was looking for right at
his door, he lost no time in taking
quick aim and the rabbit, a nice
fat one, was his. Such luck made
it unnecessary for him to take
long tramp so he put his gun away
hoping that again when he wonted
to go out to supply his table he
would find another such shot, easy
to bag.

FACTS AND DATA CONCERN
ING SALE ELECTRIC PLANT
communicated

The Smyrna Times: It is most
gratifying to be informed, that at
the special meeting of Smyrna
Town Council, held Monday even
ing, December 8th, that Council
decided to take under their worthy
consideration. other phases of the
Towns lighting problem along
with the sale of the Smyrna Elec-
trio Light Plant and distribution
system to the Eastern Shore Pub
lie Service Co. Council is to be
commended upon their marked
change of attitude. Now that
Council is making an attempt to
gather together other data, the
people of Smyrna would be most
interested in a release of these
facts as they are compiled, to keep
them well informed on the subject.
After all, the lighting problem is
a matter for the tax payers to de-
eide for themselves, not have
Council decide for them. There
fore, in order that the weighty
question may be reviewed by the
taxpayers intelligently, these peo-
pie should be informed by Council
as the different data is compiled.
Progress, ;but not urgent haste is
necessary, relative to. the matter
at hand. 1t would be far better
for the people Of Smyrna to wait
until all angles of the question
have been thoroughly investigated,
base their vote upon the several
different findings at that time,
than it would be to rush headlong
into the matter unprepared, cast
their vote in more or less ignor-
ance of facts, then perhaps, regret
at their leisure. No matter how
the final vote may 60, the future
of Smyrna will be directly effect
ed. And, it is quite reasonable to
believe, that the general public
would like this effect to be for the
benefit Of Smyrna, SO that Smyrna
may continue to progress, to be-
come greater and greater as years
go by. Smyrna now has the right
start to advance rapidly and it
would be nothing less than a crime
to throw a barrier in her pathway.
Every tax payer in Smyrna should
familiarize themselves with the
question under discussion, SO that
hey will be in position to vote

clared that in his opinion the en-
hancement of their property would
be sufficient inducement to the ma
jority. AS for those few who held
out, he advised that the road be
run through their properties, leav-
ing them right in the middle of it.
Public opinion would soon do the
rest, he said. AS for himself he
offered to donate as much of his
property along the road as might
be needed in Strengthening the
roadway and expressed the hope
that others would follow his ex-

Altho this is the busy season for fox farmers, we have seen quite a number from the island ranches in town this week, among them MT. and Mrs. ChaS. Zimmerman from Brothers Is lands, Peter Jorgenson from Reid Island, R. H. Campbell of Castle, Islands, MT. and Mrs. Andy An derson from Whitney Island, Bert Buchanan from Level Is land, and Bill Abbes from Storm Island. Most of the ranchers re- port excellent prospects for a good increase this season. While the spring has been cool and backward for green things, there have been no long continued wet spells and the foxes have fared very we'll so far.

TWO new NAVY
SHIPS BETTER
THAN R-100
More Than Double Cruising
Radius, Safer and Faster,
IS Claim For DriCibIes

Although similar In shape and
general specifications to the two
Navy dirigibles now building at
Akron, the RICO. now winging
its way. to Montreal from Eng.
land, will be outstripped in yir-
t,fally every, department Of air
worthiflesS by the American craft.
Navy figures showed yesterday.
The ZR S-4 and 5, being built
by the Goodyear Company for
the Navy. win be faster. safer,
far more manageable and Nfar
more powerful than the R-10O.
Besides they win have q cruising
radius Of almost three times that
of the British ship, and will have
80 per cent more lifting power.
Dimensions Similar
In dimensions, the two are very
similar. The zR 8 ships will be
1856 feet long against 7O9. and
/ 1929 feet in diameter against 131
feet. The overall height would
be virtually the same were not
the gondola Of tn ZR s ships
swung blow the craft, adding
enough height to require a 1855
feet clearance against 1873 feet for
the RICO.
TRus, both ships are Of the
"squatty" type. short and fat.
which engineers have proven to
be aerodynamically most efficient.
But there the similarity ends. In
the matter of safety, the Amer
lean dirigibIes will use noninflam-
mabIe helium gas. and will pay
less for it than the British must
pay for their highly dangerous
hydrogen. The Goodyear ship
will be of rigid construction
throughout with triple layer Gov.
ering, while the RICO Is Of single
layer construction. Semi-rigid
framing, the rings" being held
together and braced by only a
bicycle,wheel bracing of wires.
Longer Cruising Radius
The R-1O0 has a cruising radius
of $500 miles, while the z r S
viii have 1850 miles. Their
maximum speed will be 81 miles
an hour against 90 for the Brit
ish ship. The six RICO motors
generate only $500 horse power
against ALSO by the eight Of the
Goodyear craft.
Beneath the hull, there will be
q compartment for five airplanes
which may be lowered and
launched into the air and then
taken back aboard while in full
flight.
