VACATIONS SHOULD
BE SPENT In SAFETY
Trips Need Not Bring Regret II
Vacatl0nists Are Careful

Vacation days are here and hun
dreds of Delaware organizations will
this summer conduct outings to the
parks, the shore, the mountains and
surrounding countryside. None of
these truly delightful trips need oc-
casion mishaps or regret, providing
their managers will organize for
safety just as they do for all other
picnic arrangements. A special re-
sponsibility rests upon the managers
to surround the picnic group with
every possible safeguard. The most
serious of the hazards generally en-
countered has TO do with transporta-
tion and it is to this phase Of the
problem that the Delaware Safety
Council calls your attention.
Trains, trolleys, responsible bus
companies and licensed river craft
are safest for the transportation of
large parties and pleasure seekers.
Picnic managers should select'trans-
portation with the greatest care as to
ability, experience. equipment and re-
sponsibility. Choose the safest-not
the cheapest. The condition of equip
ment is of paramount importance.
Mechanical break-downs enroute are
not only annoying but may be actual
ly dangerous If caused by poor equip
ment. faulty maintenance or lack of
proper inspection. Picnic managers

from the once of County Agent Rus
sell E. Wilson the eleventh edition OF

son prepared by DR.. T. F. Manns,

versity of Delaware and the state
Board Of Agriculture, in cooperation
with DR.. L. A. Stearns, entomologist
Of the Delaware Experiment Station.
These spray notes referred to the
sixth cover spray for late varieties
of apples and recommended the use
of either 8 pounds of arsenate OF
lead for light codling moth infesta-
tion, or pounds of hydrated lime to
100 gallons of spray material. Either
the three or four pounds of arsenate
of lead may be combined with a 3-5-
100 Bordeaux mixture for those va
rleties Of apples which are subject
to fruit spot, bitter rot or blotch.
The transparent crop is now being
harvested, and the William variety IS
reaching maturity comparatively
freR from codling moth injury, con-
sidering the unusual duration OF
flrst-brood injury. Adult codling
moths have been captured daily IN
