along with the advancement of the
season, and it continues to demand
attention until the spraying period

been made each year to include
every fruit grower in this spray

growers who are not receiving this

FRUIT GROWERS
SPRAY SERVICE
Has Been Continued Again
This Year by State Board
of Agriculture
AGENT r. E. WILSON AIDS

The orchard spray service pro-
gram, which was started seven
years ago for the benefit of all
fruit growers throughout the state,
has been continued again this sea-
son under the direction of DR.. J. F.
Adams, plant pathologist of the
University of Delaware and the
State Board of Agriculture, who
has ben preparing timely orchard
spray notes which are mimeo-
graphed in the county extension Of
fees and mailed to these growers.
To date four editions of spray
notes for this season have been
mailed to the fruit growers in Kent
county from the Office of County
Agent Russell E. Wilson, and every
effort has been made to place this
information before this specialized
group of farmers in such a way
that it will be of the most practical
value in their problems of insect
and disease control. Ever since
this orchard spray service has been
an important part of the county
program of work it has been a rath-
er difficult matter to check up the
results which have been obtained
each year, as this type of work is
different from the conducting of
experiments and demonstrations
where definite results are secured.
A fairly satisfactory idea of the
spread of influence has been OBJ
tained, however, by a survey of the
manner in which these spray rec
concentrations and suggestions are
being accepted by the various
growers, and the practical use
which is being made of this infor-
nation each season in the growing
Of better and cleaner fruit in this
section of the United States. The
fact that more fruit growers are
calling upon the county agent and
the pathologist and entomologist
each year for advice in regard to
their spraying problems may be re-
garGed as sufficient evidence that
this service is worth while, and
many growers also have expressed
their appreciation Of this work.
In addition to the suggestions and
recommendations regarding the use
of materials for spraying fruit
trees, these spray notes also in

DEMOCRATS TRY
TO CUT BUDGET
Not Satisfied With Governor
Bucks Bill, They Draft
New Measure
MAY LEAD TO DEADLOCK

| Democratic members of the
House who are dissatisfied with the
Budget bill, which carries the ap-
preparations to operate State de-
partments and institutions for the
next two fiscal years starting July
l next, are working on a substitute
budget bill that may be ready in a
few days. This bill, it is said, will
take care of an appropriation for
the State Welfare Home, Smyrna.
Representative Poore, Democrat,
who is a member of the House ap-
preparations committee and who
served as secretary Of the legisla-
tive budget committee, is getting
the bill prepared. At the begin
ming of the session, Representative
Van Solver, Republican floor lead
er, who is also a member of the
House appropriations committee and
consequently served on the legisla-
tive budget committee, introduced
the budget bill recommended by
Governor Buck. With the admins
tration bill as a basis the budget
committee consisting of the finance
committee of the Senate and the
appropriations committee Of the
House conducted hearings for
many weeks relative to appropria-
tions requested by various depart
ments and institutions. AS a re-
suit Of these hearings the budget
committee prepared a substitute
bill which was offered in the House
under Poore's name. The substi-
tute bill totals $265,6O8 more for
the two fiscal years than the origin
al budget or administration bill
In the original bill some items, in
cluding maintenance for the State
Welfare Home, had been left out
by mistake and this fact included
for most of the increases in the
The substitute also
provided for a graduated scale for
the reduction Of salaries of State
running from 5 to 20 per
cent, according to the salary now
received. 1t was learned this morn
ing that the proposed new substi-
tute will not total even as much as
the original bill and consequently
will be approximately 100000 less
than the bill recommended by the /
budget committee for two years.

HOUSE PASSES
BEER MEASURE
Amendment Legalizes Sale of
Brew Anywhere in the
State of Delaware
SENATE MUST APPROVE

All dressed up like a Christmas
tree, as one member described it,
because of the numerous amend
ments that have been added to the
original Representative Schroeder's
bill to legalize the sale of 80 beer
was passed by the House Monday
afternoon by a vote of 25 to 9. At
ter adopting the ten amendments
which the Senate made to the act,
the House added three more of its
own. Because of these the measure
now has to be returned to the Sen
ate for consideration by that body
of the House amendments. The
most important change made in the
original by the House amendments
was offered by Representative
Jones. 1t would make the bill
Statewide in its effect, that is, the
distribution and sale of beer would
be legal anywhere in Delaware,
even in those districts which have
voted themselves dry. It would
not, however, make it legal to man
ufacture beer in this State except
in Wilmington When the origin
al bill was before the Senate last
week Senator Latchum presented
an amendment to make it State
wide but the Senate rejected this.
Just what action the upper branch
will take now that the House has
made this change is being watched
with interest. The other two
were presented by
Representative Rees. One would
reduce the license fee for retailers
outside of Wilmington to $50. The
specifies that this fee in
will be S100. The
other would reduce the license for

COURT
FOR DELAWARE
Continued From Page one)

A very delightful program of
games, etc.was offered by the COM
mittee, after which refreshments
bring an annual revenue of at least
$1,0O0,000 to the State treasury.
Senator McIntire said he consider
ed this one of the most important
measures before the present Cen
eral Assembly. He declared Della
ware will have to do something to
preserve its charter business which
other States are striving to take
away, and this bill will provide a
method whereby this business can
be saved for the State Under the
provisions of this act, the Supreme
Court will consist of three Judges
who will be named by the Governor
each for term of twelve years.
Not more than two of them could
be of the same political party. The
act provides for a combination of
the Superior Court, the Court of
General Sessions, and the Court of
Oyer and Terminer into one court
to be known as the Court Of Cen
eral Sessions. 1t does not disturb
the Court of Chancery as now con-
stituted, or the Orphans Court, or
the Court of Common Pleas in the
counties. Neither does it change
the status of the magistrates thru
out the State. 1t specifies that the
chief justice now holding this office
would be the chief justice of the
new Court of General Sessions. 1t
transfers all the business now
transacted by the Superior Court
and the Court of Oyer and Term
iner to the Court of General Ses-
sions as it would be created under
this act. The salaries of the mem
bers of the new Supreme Court are
not specified in the bill. They
would have to be fixed in the bud
get or new bill will have to be
passed by the Legislature setting
up the amount of their pay. 1t is
estimated these salaries would be
in excess of the S1O,5OO
now paid the chief justice and the
chancellor and that the remainder /
Of the estimated S50,00O cost would

clerk of the court and the current
