Welfare Service in Delaware

In recent years Delaware
has made much progress in
the conduct Of its welfare
agencies. Admittedly, how
ever, there is still much room
for improvement, but many
public spirited citizens are in
terested to promote both com
prehensive coverage and eff
fective organization. The
facts brought out in the re
cent survey, and the recon-
mendations based thereon,
may provide a useful working
guide for making a State Wei
fare department that should
be a model for other states,
just as our roads and our
schools have been.

Jaw, neck and several ribs broken

SPRAYING KENT
TOMATO VINES
Russell E. Wilson's Timely
Advice on This and
Other Crops
ALSO CORN EAR WORM

Within the past week tomato
and truck crop growers in Kent
county received from the office Of
County Agent Russell E. Wilson
information in regard to plant dis
ease and insect control which was
prepared for distribution BY DR.. t.
F. MAINS, State Plant Pathologist
for the University of Delaware and
the State Board of Agriculture, in
cooperation with DR.. Il. al. Stearns,
entomologist of the Delaware ex-
pertinent STATEN. Because Of the
injury to many crops commonly as
ISOLATED with Bordeaux sprays and
dusts, an effort has been made to
find suitable substitute control
measures for early blight, downy
mildew and beetles On cantaloUPes
and cucumbers. For these crops a
dust mixture including 6 pounds Of
copper oxychloride, Az pounds Of
wheat -four, AZ pounds of tale and
10 pounds Of calcium arserate Is
being recommended by Ohio State
University. The copper cxychloride
dus- may be used as a spray in the
proportion Of pounds to 80 gal
Ions Of water with one pound Of
calcium arsenate. The New York
agricultural experiment station
suggests the use Of a dust mixture
composed Of pounds Of cuprous
oxide, 10 pounds Of calciu mareen-
ate, 10 pounds of wheat flour and
Is pounds Of tale These dusts
may be applied at the rate Of from
10 to 100 pounds per acre, the
amount depending upon the stage
OF growth when the applications
are made. In regard to the con-
troll Of wilt, black rit, scurf and
other seed-bourne diseases on
sweet potatoes, it is recommended
that growers follow the practice Of
growing slip seed which is the SAT-
est method Of avoiding these dis
eases in the field, in addition to Sc
lecting a field which is known to
be free from sweet potato diseases
The ground should be plowed early
the moisture well retained by an
occasional discing, and then fertil-
lied with 1000 pounds of a 3-8-11
fertilizer per acre. The pplants
should be set from IL to IA inches
apart in the row during the first
ten days in July, and frequently
cultivated Several different kinds
of worms infest tomatoes at this
season of the year, the most i'm.
portant one in this section being
the corn ear worm. The crop may
be protected effectively from thi!
insect by spraying first when the
earliest tomatoes are about the
size Of marbles. For this spray
use 3 pounds Of arsenate Of leac
and pounds Of hydrated lime il
100 gallons Of water. In case
trouble from disease is anticipated
an 8-S-100 Bordeaux mixture with
the addition Of pounds of ARISEN
ate Of lead should be applied at 10
day intervals as long as protection
is required. then dust the tomatoes
with a $3.50 mixture of calcium
arsenate and hydrated lime.

He was. a candidate for Demo-

1t was expected that his successor
would be Solicitor General Robert

The United Press informant. one
Of the Presidents closest advisors
who asked that his name not be
used, said that a Shake-up in the
cabinet was impending. However,
only the one change is contem.
plated at present, he said.
He emphasized that reports Of
Works Progress Administrator Hop,
kinS replacing Secretary of Com
merce Roper were premature. He
declined to add to that statement
For several months there have
been recurring rumors that changes
in the cabinet were imminent. Since
the general elections last week
there have been unconfirmed re-
ports not only of commerce and
Justice department changes, but of
new secretaries of labor and of the
navy.
The resignation of Cummings
would not be unexpected 1t has
been known for some time that he
wished to return to private law
practice in Stamford, Conn.
Likewise, the appointment O,
Jackson as his successor would not
surprise official Washington. For
more than a year he has been one
Of the New Deal proteges and. at
one time, received serious mention
as the administrators choice to
succeed Gov. Herbert H. Lehman
of New York. Postmaster General
Farley, as Democratic committee
chairman, was reported to have
spiked that plan as impractical.

attorney general in 1886 He had
