glad he was defeated
i would not have voted for
McGroarty Tor congress if ne We're
living in my district. I'm glad he
got only 10000 votes.
The congressional investigation

They have been unfair IN that

Also a New Bridge at Mill
Creek, East of Town
of Smyrna
OTHER BRIDGE PLANS

A program of bridge construc-
ton. the cost of which will total
almost a half million dollars, is
planned by the State Highway De-
partment for the present year, ac-
cording to information received at
the Office of Arthur G. Livingston,
bridge engineer for the Highway
Department. Construction of these
bridges is expected to provide
what is considered much needed
improvements in various parts of
the State and some of the projects
have been under discussion for a
long period of time. Heading the
list of projects is the new overhead
bridge at New Castle which has
just been completed and will be
placed in service as soon as the
work on the bridge approaches is
completed. The cost of this bridge
is placed at $4,000.
A new bridge is also planned
for Mill Creek, East of Smyrna,
the cost of which is expected to be
about $1,000 and plans for which
will probably be completed within
the next month.
Likewise plans for the proposed
new bridge over Silver Lake, north
of Dover, are being prepared and
are also expected to be ready in
about two months. The cost of
this bridge is placed at $4,000.
1t is also thought that the plans
for new bridge over Vines creek,
East of Dagsboro, will be ready in
two months and the cost of this
structure has been placed at S15,-
600.
The Highway Department will
receive bids next month for con-
struction of an overhead bridge at
College avenue at Newark to re-
place the dangerous rail crossing
at that point. The cost of this
project is estimated at $4,000.
ment is now working on plans for
an overhead bridge on the Market
street causeway in Wilmington
which will eliminate several rail
crossings where fatal accidents
have occurred on the main high
way of this State. This bridge
will probably entail a cost of $780,
600. The plans are expected to be
ready for bidders in about two
months.
A new bridge is also planned
over the Christiana river at Chris
tiana and the plans are expected
to be ready within the next month.
This bridge will replace a narrow
bridge now in use and the new
structure is expected to cost about
$4,000.

KENT GRAPE VINEYARDS
Spray Service For Grape Growers
Advised by Russell E. Wilson

Those grape growers who have
not applied the delayed dormant
spray to their vineyards this
spring for the control of black rot,
should follow this practice just as
soon as possible, or when the new
growth is about one-half inch in
length, according to recommenda-
tions issued this week from the of
fee of Kent County Agent Russell
E. Wilson, under whose direction
this vineyard spray service has
been conducted for a number of
years. For this spray the grape
growers are advised to use the 12-
12-1000 formula Bordeaux mix
ture, which consists of II pounds
of copper-Sulphate (bluestone) and
II pounds of hydrated lime to 100
gallons of water. AS there are no
grape insects to control at this
season of the year, no arsenicals
are necessary in this first applica-
ton. This is a fungicidal spray
only, and it serves as a protection
against the initial infection of
black rot which is carried over
from one year to another on those
canes that are tied up for fruit
production. Following this delay
ed dormant spray, the next appli-
cation recommended for grape
x-;,,axyo ,Jc ~, +l,ics orao ;c ,rrba,, +bo
new growth is from to s inches
long, which usually is about two
weeks after the delayed dormant.
This is known as the cluster-break
spray and should consist of the g.
12-10O formula Bordeaux with no
arSenicals added. The next i'm
portant spray is the pre-blossom
which should be applied when no
more than ten percent of the bios
SONS are out. In this spray the
same mixture of Bordeaux is re-
commended with the addition of 4
pounds Of arsenate of lead and l
pint of fish oil as a spreader to
each 1000 gallons of spray mater
ial. This application is for the
further protection against black
rot and other fungous diseases,
also for control of the grape berry
moth which in some years has
been very troublesome in the COM
mercial vineyards in this county.
The other two applications in this
five-spray program include the
post-blossom and the ten-day
sprays in which the same mater
ials are used as in the predecessor
application. Under normal wealth
er conditions this spray schedule
should prove effective in carrying
vineyards through the season.
Grape growers who have not re-
ceived their copies of the 1886
vineyard spray schedule may OBJ
tain these cards by either calling
or writing the Kent county exten-
sion Office, second floor of the Do
yer Postoffice building.
