SPRAY NOTICES SENT
TO GRAPE GROWERS
Kent County Agent Wilson Advises
Use OF Spray Now

In connection with the vineyard
spray service for this season spray
notices in regard to the delayed
dormant application of Bordeaux
mixture to the vines at this partic-
ular time have been mailed from the
office of Kent County Agent Russell
E. Wilson within the past few days
to all the grape growers in Kent
county.
This spray is one of the most inn
portant and effective applications
for the control of anthracnose, black
rot and dead-arm diseases, and il
should be applied when the new
growth is about one-half inch in
length, as these diseases start to
shoot their spores at this stage of
vine development.
For this delayed dormant applica-
tion the growers have been advised
to use the 12-12-100 formula for
Bordeaux mixture, which consists of
12 pounds of bluestone and 10
pounds of hydrated lime to 100 gal
Ions of water This spray should be
applied under good pressure in Or
der that the new growth will be-
come thoroughly covered with a fine
mist as a protection against infec-
tion from any "carry-over" dis
eases which may be present on the
old wood.

SAILING YACHT
BLOWN ASHORE
Two Masted Vessel Strikes Bar on
MispilliOn Light

During the heavy blow Thursday
last, two masted private sailing
vessel was blown ashore near the
Mispillion Light. The vessel was
commanded by Captain Morris and
was bound from Norfolk to New
York. According'to reports the sails
were blown aW ay and the ship, un-
able to make any headway against
the wind with her auxiliary gasoline
engine, struck a bar 200 yards from
shore.
A jetty extends from the mouth OF
the Mispillion River, about one mile
into the bay, and the vessel struck
the bar just north of the jetty. The
rudder was smashed.
Captain Morris made his way to
the shore in a lifeboat and phoned
to the Coast Guard station and ask
ed to be towed off at high tide. The
tides had been unusually high dur
ing the last few days and the mar
shes and shores in the vicinity are
flooded. At this writing the vessel
was still stranded.

Rejecting the budget bill as pass
ed by the House last week, the SEN
ate Monday afternoon adopted a
substitute offered by Senator Grif-
fenberg, which is the same appro-
priation act recommended by the
joint legislative budget committee
and which the House turned down
for the so-called Democratic appro-
priation measure. In taking this ac-
ton several Senators gave warning
that they will remain in session all
summer before they will permit any
of the items contained in the bud
get committees bill to be reduced
by the House.
The substitute was passed by a
vote of 10 to z. Senator Hart, DEM
ocrat, voted with the Republicans
in favor of it. The bill now goes
back to the House, where it is un-
derstood the Democratic majority
in that branch will substitute for it
the bill that branch passed and sent
to the Senate. AS the majority side
in each house is apparently deter
mined to force adoption of the par
ticular appropriation bill it favors,
it is difficult to predict when the
budget will eventually win final ap-
proval of both branches.
