SWEET POTATO DISEASE
PROJECT CHECKED

ICOHfinMed from First Page
of Delaware and the State Board of
Agriculture, and each spring cooper
ating growers have dipped portion
of their sweet potato plants and have
set these plants along side of those
which were not treated. The treat
ment material which was used in
these demonstration was Improved
Semesan Bel which was prepared in
liquid form at the rate of four Oun-
ees to two gallons of water, and
only the roots of the plants were
dipped instantaneOusly in order to
prevent any possible injury.
In previous years this treatment
has resulted in a marked reduction
in the disease prevalence in the
sweet potato crop, in addition to
producing a greater number or
prime potatoes and a corresponding
decreased number of seconds, as
compared 20 the sweets grown from
untreate1 plants Some growers
have reported also that the sweet
potatoes produced from dipped
plants keep much better in storage,
which is another important factor in
favor of this practice.
During the harvesting of the sweet
potato crop within the next few
weeks a comparative study will be
E,ade of the black rot prevalence in
both the treated and check areas on
each of the farms where this pro-
iect is being conducted this year.
and these records will be included
in the series of reports of previous

COOL SPRING CHURCH
2O9 YEARS OLD
[Continned from First Psgel

[CODfiHHed from First PSgel
The Rev. William Beckett, rector
of the Episcopal Church, at Lewes,
who took up his residence in the
Rreakwater town in 1920, having
come to America under the direction
of 1.-The Society for the Propagation
of the Gospel in Foreign Parts" in a
letter addressed TO the Society. in
July, 1928, stated that the Presby-
terians had two churches in SUSSEX
county, one at LeWes and the other
at COOlSpTing.
Sussex county at that time was
only about half its present size. Lord
Baltimore and William Penn, about
this time, had a long drawn out dis
pute as to the State boundaries, the
larger part of Sussex county being
claimed by Lord Baltimore. In 1867,
the present boundaries were estab-
lished, and at that time the Cool
spring Church was located more in
the southern section, according to
the lines, than in the northeastern
section, under the present boundary
lines.
