manager for the Diamond State
Telephone Company, said today:
"Our engineers have completed a
careful check of all new instru-
ments and dial equipment installed
in this community. The new equip
ment is in perfect working order,
ready for the transfer. For the
last ten days, the telephone. com
pany has given subscribers an OPP
portunity to hear the dial signals
to enable them to become familiar
with the dial, ringing and busy
tones before the change in ser
vice" Construction of the new
telephone building and the Install
alton Of dial equipment represents
an expenditure of approximately
$4,000.

TAX RATE, SMYRNA, REDUCED
Town Council Reduces Rate From
* Cents to so Cents for This Year

Town Council Reduces Rate From
55 Cents to so Cents for This Year
AT a meeting of Smyrna Town
Council the assessment of Assessor
j. Edgar Frazier was accepted and
on motion the tax rate was reduc-
ed from IS cents on the hundred
dollars to so cents on the hundred.
This action of our progressive
Board is received with apprecia-
ton by our tax payers especially in
these times when the tendency is
To increase everything. That our
Town Council is able to do these
things when they are opening Mar
ket Street thru to South, to say
nothing of the sewer and water eX-
tension, town hall clock, town Of
fee building and other improve
ments speaks well for the able
in which the Board is ad-
town affairs.

FOR
BIG GRAPE CROP
r. E. Wilson, County Agent,
Aiding Culturists in Mat
ter of Spray
TO COMBAT BLACK ROT

Within the past week grape
growers in Kent county received
from the Office of County Agent
Russell E. Wilson spray notices in
regard to the pre-b blossom applica-
lions which should be made when
from five to ten percent of the
blossoms have broken, and which
is a most important spray for the
control of black rot on the fruit.
This spray should consist of 6-12-
100 Bordeaux mixture prepared by
using 6 pounds of copper sulphate
(bluestone) and II pounds of hy-
drafted lime in 100 gallons of water,
with the addition of pounds of
arsenate of lead and one pint of
fish oil. Aside from being a con-
troll of black rot on the grapes,
this predecessor spray also is a
protection against the grape berry
moths which are very troublesome
in some years throughout this
area. If the poisoning period
should be delayed more than ten
days from the previous applica-
ton, grape growers are advised to
apply an additional spray of the
6-12-1OO Bordeaux with the same
amounts of arsenate of lead and
fish oil. The other two applica-
tions that are recommended in the
spray calendar, as prepared by the
Delaware experiment station, in
clude the after-blossom spray and
the next one when the grapes have
the size of garden peas.
The same materials as mentioned
above should be used in each Of
these applications. All grape
