BEETLE
INVADES SUSSEX
County Agent Snyder Receives In
qulries For Methods To Cheek Pests

According to various reports be-
ing received by County Agricultural
Agent C. R. Snyder, the Japanese
Beetle has now invaded Sussex
county and many are now asking for
methods to check this pest.
This beetle feeds on shade and
fruit trees. shrubs. flowers, vege-
tables and other plants and because
of this. it is very destructive bee
tie and should be dealt with accord
ingly. There are several methods of
checking the work of the beetle,
namely trapping, spraying and soil
treatment. BY the use of approved
types of traps, thousands of the bee
ties can be caught and destroyed.
The trapping of the beetles, especial
Iy the females will do much to les
sen the beetle population next year.
Spraying for the beetle is another
method of combating this pest but
it must be done at the right time, in
a proper manner and the use of the
right kind of material. Unless par
ticular attention is given these three
requirements, sprays will have little
effect. The correct time to spray for
the beetles is before you find them
in your plants. Beetles do not like
to feed on sprayed plants and when
they find that your plants are spray
ed with the proper spray, they will
feed elsewhere. AS rule spraying
should be done the latter part of
June or early July.
At the present time. the recon-
mended spray is coated lead arsen-
ate. Ordinary lead arsenate is also

CHINCOTEAGUE WILD
PONY ROUNDUP JULY 29
Hundreds OF Delawareans Expected
To Attend Affair

The wild beach ponies on Chinco-
league Island will be rounded up and
sold into captivity on July 20 as
feature OF the Chincoteague Vol
unteer Fire Company's annual car
nival. This event has drawn nation
wide interest and this year is ex-
pected to be one OF the biggest
round-ups ever staged. The ponies
which are not sold will be branded
and released to roam the beaches
for another year.
1t is believed that these study lit
tie animals are descendants OF a
drove Of ponies which swan ashore
from a shipwrecked Spanish vessel
in the latter part OF the eighteenth
century.
These descendants have dwelt in
these parts, living on marsh grass.
at fresh water springs. and
for the most part, care

REVENUE
SHOWS INCREASE
$6S2, ,4S7 Collected by Com
mission And Paid To
State Treasurer.

An increase of s10S,51115 in rev.
enues collected by the Delaware
Liquor Commission during the past
fiscal year as compared with the
preceding fiscal year was reported
by officials of the commission this
week.
A total of $6s2.4s7.72 was collect
ed and turned over to the State
Treasurer during the past fiscal
year in comparison with $573,975.57
for the fiscal year of 1885.
Number of Licenses Reduced
For the fiscal year which started
recently there were six less licenses
issued for liquor dispensing estab-
lishments than for the year just
ended. The total for the year be-
ginning is 466, as compared with 472.
While officials declined to discuss
the fact that a small number, un-
officially reported as seven, of the
persons and corporations holding
licenses during the past year did
not receive them this year, they de-
clared that no licenses had been re-
jected because of fragrant violations
of the law.
$15s,263 Collected I'm June
Collections for the past month
totaled 159,263.61, as compared
with$54. .10S for May. This large in
crease wa sattributed to the fact
that most of the licenses were taken
out during June. The increase over
June, 1886, was $2.2S8.05.
