HAACS CHOSEN AS
TAX COLLECTOR.
Governor Buck Names
Isaacs When Successor
Fails To Qualify.

John S. Isaacs, who for the past
four years has been Receiver of
Taxes and County Treasurer for
Sussex County, was re-appointed to
that office by Governor c. Douglass
Buck on Tuesday. The appointment
was made necessary because of the
failure of John M. Rogers who was
elected Receiver of Taxes and Coun-
ty Treasurer at the last election, to
qualify. Under the law creating the
office it is necessary for the candi-
date elected to fill the office to quail
ify on or before the first Tuesday in
June, which in the present case was
June 9th. Mr.. Rogers failed to
qualify for the office, and after wait
ing one week for further action on
his part the Governor took action.
Under the law Mr.. Isaacs would have
held office until a successor was
duly elected and qualified. IL is
evident, however. that Governor
Buck desired that the duties of Mr..
Isaacs be made lawful without ques-
tion and for that reason the appoint
ment was probably made. The ap-
pointment holds until after a sue
cessOr has been elected at the next
General Elections in 1884 and quail
fed on the first Tuesday in June
1885. Mr.. Isaacs is "a Republican
and has filled the office with much
credit to himself during the last four
years. Mr. Rogers, who failed to
qualify within the limit set by law,
is a Democrat, and was elected at
the elections last November for a
four year term.

EXPECT GOV. BUCK
TO PERMIT BILLS
FOR S5OO,OOO TODIE
Leaders Agree The State
Should Not Assume De-
ficit Of $1,1OO,OOO.
TINE LIMIT EXPIRES
Executive Shows Meas
ures Already Enacted
Exceed Income.

With the State facing a deficit in
the general fund of approximately
$500, 900 at the end of the next fiscal
biennium; representative citizens
from all parts of Delaware, in con-
ference on Monday with Governor c..
Douglass Buck, agreed it would be
unwise for him to sign any more
bills passed by the recent General
Assembly providing appropriations
for the various commissions, boards
and institutions.
Although no announcement was
made following the conference as to
what the Governors action will be
on the bills still awaiting his con-
sideration, it is not believed, in view
of the sentiment expressed at Mon
days meeting, that he will approve
any of the appropriation acts that
still await his signature. AS con-
sequence measures providing appro-
priations of about $500,00O will prob
ably die.
Under the State Constitution the
Governor has 30 days after final adj
iournment of the Legislature to con-
slider the bills that are passed. The
time limit expired yesterday. All
measures not having received his
approval by that date will automat-
ically die.
Those attending the conference
were given statement compiled by
the State Auditor which showed that
with appropriation bills already ap-
proved and after the budget bill has
been provided for there Will be de-
ficit in the general fund on June 30,
1885. amounting to $600,0OO. 1t was
also shown that if the apprOpria-
tion bills still pending were approved
by the governor these additional ex-
pendiiures would bring the deficit
to 81 100000 on June 30, 1888.
Many of the. appropriation acts
pending are for State institutions
that are said to be in urgent need
of financial assistance to enable them
to enlarge their facilities for caring
for the inmates. All of these were
by the .conferees as
worthy causes and they expressed
their appreciation of their merits
but at the same time they agreed
that it would be ilnwise to add to the
States expenses when it will have
big deficit confronting 1t at the end
of the next two years.

bills before the Cover

CUTS TO FACULTY
DIR. HulIihen Says Off
cials Restricted BY Leg
islative Act.

DR.. Walter Hullihen, president of
the University of Delaware, in a re-
port to the Board of Trustees at their
annual meeting last Friday, criticizes
the General Assembly for its action
in reducing salaries of members of
the faculty and other employees of
the university under graduated
scale of from 5 to 20 per cent. He
pointed out that the appropriation
requested from the Legislature pro-
vided for 10 per cent reduction and
that the graded salary cut comes
on top of that.
DR.. Hullihen said it was unfOrtu-
nate that the reduction was made in
the way it was as it really amounts
to a dictation by the Legislature as
to what salaries shall be paid by the
Board of Trustees and deprives the
board of the power to manage its fl
nancial affairs. He added that it is
questionable whether the Legisla-
ture has the right to take away from
the board the power to use its funds
in whatever way it considers to be
most advisable.
DR.. Hullihen also pointed out that
the university as yet does not know
how much its Federal appropriations
will be reduced and consequently
has been unable to make up budget
for the next fiscal year.
DR.. Hullihen's report as to the en-
rollment showed 792 students ell
rolled in Delaware College and the
Women's College which is probably
the largest in the history of the uni
versity. OF the total 361 or As per
cent are from Wilmington; 1866 or Il
per cent from rural New Castle coun-
ty; 40 or per cent from Kent coun-
ty; n or 100 per cent from Sussex
county and 139 or Is per cent from
outside the State. OF the total %
students have been doing graduate
work.
The new faculty members elected
by the board follow:
DR.. Paul B. Peterson. of Minnesota,
research. fellow in plant pathology,
all salary and contingent expenses
to be paid by the Crop Protective
Institute.
DR.. Elizabeth Dyer. of Yale. in
structor in chemistry to succeed

FRUIT GROl sgA
GET SPRAY ADVICE
County Agent Says Cod
ding Moth Should Be
Controlled Now.

Within the past few days the fruit
growers in Kent county received
from the office of County Agent Rus
sell f. Wilson copies of the ninth
edition of orchard spray notes which
were prepared by DR.. J. F., Adams,
plant pathologist of the University
of Delaware and the State Board of
Agriculture, with reference to the
spraying of apples, peaches and
grapes at this period of the season.
In regard to the apple situation,
the excellent growing weather has
resulted in the general vigor of fol-
iage and the pronounced sizing up OF
the fruit during the past ten days.
Scab remains a major disease dis
turbance in those orchards where
the secondary infection has not been
thoroughly controlled on later varie-
ties, but fire-blight infection has
been extremely light in view of the
favorable weather conditions, and
cedar rust is not causing any par
ticular damage to date
According to reports on the ac-
tivities of the codling moth, a 100
per cent pupation of the over-win-
tered brood had occurred by June 1,
and the orchard emergence of the
spring brood is drawing to a close.
As the first brood larvae entry into
the apples is now under way, it is
being advised that the growers use
the bands around their trees, espe-
cially because of the arsenic and
lead residue regulations which are
confronting the Orchardists this sea-
son.
For the third cover spray, which
should be applied this week, the fruit
growers are advised to use either
the dry-mix at the rate of 20 pounds
to 100 gallons of water. self-boiled
lime sulphur 16-16-100, or CONNER
cial substitutes according to the rec
concentrations of the manufacture
ers. Bordeaux at the strength of
4-S-t00 is recommended where Bit
ter rot, blotch or fruit spot are pre-
valent. Specific recommendations
have also been given concerning the
use of calcium aTsenate and arsOnate
of lead in the control of the cOdling
moth on the varieties of apples which
are harvested in July, August and
and also for those which
are harvested in October
In discussing the spraying of peach
trees DR. Adams stated that some de-
foliation from bacterial spot occur
red last week in Sussex county, and
where this disease has been trouble
some 1t is advisable to use the S-S-lOO
spray which consists of 8
pounds of zinc and s pounds of lime
to 100 gallons of water.
