PARASITES USED TO
KILL FRUIT MOTHS
Tests Made in Orchards
OF County Prove
Successful

The plan of fighting the destruc-
tive Oriental fruit moth, with par
asites is proving successful, ac-
cording to recent tests made in
this county.
Parasites have been liberated in
the peach orchard of Frank H :.
Kretsinger, near Chewsville, in
the Gardenour orchards near
smithsburg and in orchards near
Hancock.
One orchard owner stated that
he had practical demonstration

of the fact that the parasites
really do attack the moth. Some
of these parasites were liberated
in his ordchard about year ago.
Developments have shown the
worm, which exists in certain
stage of the growth and develop
ment of the Oriental fruit moth,
had been killed by the parasites.
Spraying has no effect on the
moth, supposed to have been i'm
ported on Japanese cherry trees
some years ago. The reason poi
son, administered to the tree in
the form of a spray, does not kill
this moth is that the moth when
it eats the tree or fruit, does not
swallow it. The worm will first
attack the tender leaf of the tree
early in the season, and then
when the fruit develops it eats
into the peach.
The parasites were distributed

IMPROVEMENTS ARE
MADE AT The TRACK

Buildings Reprinted;
Ten-Day Session

With stable accommodations
at a premium and the weather
Man promising ideal weather all
next week, officials of the Ha-
gerstoWn Fair Board announced
this morning that indications
point to the best race meet in
the history of the association.
The meeting will get under way
on Tuesday and continue for 10
days.
During the past several weeks
those in charge of the track and
grounds have been busily engaged
in making major improvements
and when the barrier goes up on
the first race, opening day, the
thousands in attendance will, no
doubt, be impressed by the work
accomplished. Several thousand
dollars have been spent in making
the track lightning fast, and the
old wire fence around the oval has
been replaced by new. The build
ings have also been repainted and
the entire plant presents pleas
ing appearance.
At no time since 1929, when rae
ing was revived in Western Mary
. land, has the track been in better
condition. A crew of workmen un-
der expert supervision has recon
ditioned every foot Of the half-mile
track, and today it would be diff
cult indeed to find it's equal in
this section of the country. Track
records which have stood for many
years, will no doubt be in danger
when the ponies get away for the
Today session.
Demands for stalls have been
unusually heavy this year, accord
ing to Mr.. Harold Bester, who is
exceedingly optimistic over the
prospects. Many of the owners
are making long jumps in order
to enter their horses in this meet
ing.
"Good weather is in prospect,
and good horses are either already
here or are enroute," Mr.. Bester
said. "The Fair Board has realiz-
ed for some years that improve
ments were necessary in order to
keep pace with good racing, and
this year we have started these
improvements where they are
most needed-on the track. Race
fans will be agreeably surprised,
am sure. All these improve

Messrs. jackson, Sasscer, Cor

ner, Tydings, Lewis, and flock
of other leading lights Of the
Democratic party in Maryland
are listed as guests of honor at
the annual State Convention of
the Women's United Democra-

here May 20. 1t looks like the
first roundup of Gubernatorial
candidates in Western Maryland.
OF course, Willard and DaVey

thinks they will have quite bit
to say regarding just how the

true Of Congressman Lewis who
turned Allegheny county, a Re-
publican stronghold, upside
down in the last election.
"The Little Giant of Western
Maryland" does not hesitate to
give General Lane and his fol-
lowers credit for his presence in
Washington and it wouldn't sur
prise us in the least If DaVey
goes over backward for the local
Democratic leader-if and when
he losses his Stetson in the cir

less than year ago, at which
time the Democratic leaders OF

banded themselves together for
a common cause, was adVanta-

three Sweeps Of 1885!

cate that this observers estimate,
that the prize money for the

$4,000, 900, is mighty close to &C

Irish Hospitals Benefit

Grand National Sweep, f458, $40

from the Cambrtdgeshire Sweep,

No one accurately can say now
much Of this huge total Of more

in the United States, but
some observers insist that about
half represents this country's con-
