SPRAY NOTES TO
FRUIT GROWERS

moth control program, Dr. l.. A.
Stearns, entOmologist of the Della
ware experiment Station, has recon-
mended that the rough bark on apple
trees be scraped and burned, since
this practice will greatly reduce the
number of alternating larvae as
well as put the trees in condition to
be banded during the coming sum-
mer and fall. These sanitation prac-
tices are supplementary control
measures to the regular spray pro-
gram as published in the 1881 spray
schedules which have been mailed
recently to all the fruit growers.
Peach growers should also take
advantage of dry period during
this month or early March to burn
over oodlands and waste fields for
distance of 200 or 300 yards from
the orchards, as essential practices
in the control of the curculiO All
pruning and rubbish should be de-
stroyed, and the vegetation along
fence roks should be grubbed out
and burned. In his experimental
work last year DR.. Stearns observed
that sanitation practices of this ma
ture reduced the curculio infesta-
ton approximately 20 per cent,
which may be regarded as important
facts to be considered in the grow
ing of better fruit in this section of
the country.
Along with these recommends
tions for burning the fields and
waste places adjoining orchards,
precautions which must be observed
have been issued by w. S. Taber,
state forester, who is requesting the
public to cooperate with his depart
ment i'm a program for the preven-
ton of forest fires which cause
thousands of dollars in damages to
timber and other property each year
in this State If any fruit growers
are planning to do any burning this |
spring and are in doubt as to the |
method to pursue, they may obtain
such information free of charge |
from the State Forestry Department
at Dover.

disease, is composed of Il compare
lively large allowance of milk and
cereals with little meat, fish and
cheese. This is supplemented by
vegetables, fruits, dried peas and
beans and a fairly small amount of
fats and sugars. Oranges and fresh
or canned tomatoes are included to
insure against scurvy. Eggs, now
being so cheap, can be literally US
ed instead of meat.
Strange as it may seem although
Milk is recognized as the most val
uable of all foods from the view
point of supplying the necessary Wit
amines and minerals, it is often the
first food dropped. New York City
alone is selling a million less quarts
a day than in normal times. This
may cause serious results. During
the war Denmark sold it's milk fat
and a great many Danish children
developed egg infection. This might
have been prevented had leafy veg
etables or cod liver oil been used
literally.
For the growing child building up
bone, tissues and teeth, a glass OF
milk every meal, every day is a
safe rule to follow. Meat will sup
ply some of these elements but at
much higher cost The thoughtful
homemaker will buy less of the eX-
pensive foods but still include milk,
the perfect food, in the diet thus
helping out her limited income and
still safeguarding the health of her
family.

GOVERNOR NAMES
new COMMISSION
[CODttnued from Fr,. Pagel

| the past 20 years or more to have
boxing recognized lawfully as a
sport in Delaware.
Eighteen years ago while Repre-
sentative in the legislature Timothy
j. Mooney, of Wilmington, introduc-
ed boxing bill that included the
name of Mr.. Hallam as one of the
commissioners. 1t was reported on
its merits but was defeated in the
House. Two years ago a bill SINH
lar to that passed by the present
legislature was defeated by one vote
in the House after having passed the
Senate.
Under the new boxing and wrest
ling law, no person or corporation
is allowed to give boxing or wrest-
ling exhibition unless a license shall
have been granted by the Athletic
Commission. The Commission has
discretion as to the issuance of such
licenses, and the time of holding eX-
hibitiOns and the matches booked
also must have the approval of the
commission before they can be stag
ed. Licenses for exhibitions shall
be granted only to persons who have
been bona fide residents of Della
ware for three years, and persons
and companies desiring to give eX-
hibitions must have at least a three
months lease on the hall in which
such shows are to be presented.
No more than five boxing bouts
and no more than thirty rounds of
boxing are permitted in any one
show. The program may include not
more than one eight-rOund bout.
Matchmakers, referees, judges, time
keepers and physicians of clubs. as
well as the contestants themselves
and their managers, must obtain Ii
cenSes before they can participate
in boxing exhibitions in the State.
Adequate bond can be required of
clubs or corporations for the faith
ful carrying out of their obliga
tiOns to participants in shows and to
the public, and the commission can
or revoke any license for a
violation of its regulations. Heavy
penalties are provided for violation |
of the new law.
The Commissioners are required |
to meet their expenses from license
fees and from the five per cent of |
gross receipts of exhibitions that !
must go to the State. The Commits
sion is authorized to elect a secre-
Lary who may be paid up to $500
year. The commissioners are to re-
ceive $40 for each day of actual SER
vices provided there is sufficient
money for that purpose. rhe com
also must maintain official
headquarters.
1t is expected the Commission will
meet some day this week to organ
re. AS there is no appropriation for
he Commission, it is altogether
likely that it will have to be finan-
,ed by the Commissioners themsel-
res until sufficient revenue comes in
o meet expenses.
Governor Buck is known to he an
exponent of clean sports, and feels
hat the Commission he has named
will conduct the newly legaiized
port on high plane.
