SPRAYS ROUTE
/ APPLE DISEASE
Test Spray Material to Kill
Spores Which Overwinters
in Leaves on Ground
FIRST TESTS IN STATE

The usual method of controlling
apple scab in Delaware orchards is
to apply series of sprays start
ing in the spring and lasting until
summer. This disease overwinters
in the form of spores in dead leav-
es on the ground. IN the spring,
the spores are discharged from the
leaves and are carried by air cur
rents to new growth on the apple
trees.
DR.. K. j. Kadow of the Univer-
sity of Delaware's department of
Plant Pathology has been working
this pring on new way to cut
down losses from apple scab in
Delaware orchards. DR.. Kadow
and his assistants are working on
the idea that if the spores can be
killed while they are still in the
leaves on the ground, there is
much less of a chance for the dis
ease to get started on the new
leaves. They are carrying on ex-
periments this spring which in
clude spraying the leaves on the
ground with new product known
as Elgetol This spray material
has the power of killing all of the
apple scab spores with which it
comes in contact. 1t is sprayed
on the leaves on the ground the
same as sprays are applied to fruit
trees.
The plant pathologists say that
in many cases it is almost impos-
sible to destroy the overwintering
leaves by blowing and cultivation.
If the leaves on the ground were
not infected with scab the previous
season, they will cause no trouble
in starting new scab outbreaks. On
the other hand, if larger per-
centage of the leaves were infect
ed, it is highly important that the
spores they contain are destroyed.
So far, the only way to kill spores

6 MAGISTRATES
BOOKS SEIZED
AttOrney-G General to Seek In
dictment of Men - Action
Result of 6-MOnth Inquiry
SUBPOENA WITNESSES

Records of four magistrates and
two former magistrates have been
impounded as the attorney gener-
ais office prepares to present the
results of a Six-months investiga-
tion Of the magistrate courts be
fore the New Castle County grand
jury this week. Deputy Atty
Gen. Clair J. Killoran said that in
dictments will be sought against
the six men. What the charges will
4 be was not disclosed. Two of the
six are office holders at present in
New Castle County and two are
former magistrates in Kent and
Sussex counties. Mr.. Killoran said
One is former Kent County mag
| istrate and the sixth is holding of
flee in Sussex County. This action
of the attorney generals Office fol-
lows an investigation of records
and accounts Of the magistrates of
the state begun last November by
Desmond A.Lyons. special account
ant for the Permanent Budget
Commission. Approximately 100
witnesses, most of them motorists,
others police officers and con-
stables, were examined by Mr.. Kill
loran. He also said about so wit
nesses are under subpoena Rec
ords of the magistrates that have
been impounded by the attorney
generals Office consist of criminal
dockets and fee books, Mr.. Killo-
ran said. Most of he motorists
involved, the deputy attorney gen
eral said, were from out-of-the-
state, and had been arrested in
Delaware for motor vehicle law
violations. Where records of the
magistrates and former magistrat-
es showed that fine on motor
ist had been remitted, the investi-
gators cont acted d the driver
through a letter. The letter cited
the case-date of arrest, charge,
the magistra te, disposition of the
case, and then asked whether or
not the magistrate had remitted
the fine, as his records showed,
When the reply Of the motorists
said there had been no remittance,
his name was recorded and later
was turned over to the attorney
generals office and the motorists
summoned for questioning. Mr.. Kill
loran said that records Of the six
men involved in the investigation
showed fragrant discrepancies.
Records of some other magistrat-
es, he said, show isolated cases Of
mishandling, but what action will
be taken in these cases has not yet
been determined. The investigation
Of the magistrate courts was
prompted when a question arose as
to their authority to remit fines.

it. But it is no time for discourage
ment. Courage and skill, teamwork
and resolution. will win"
The college women of today have
been encouraged to think for them
selves and to use their imagination.
They know that their achievements
in life will have to come through
their own initiative. The growing
belief among some youth groups
that the world owes youth a living
and that all they need do is be
articulate until something happens
is not the college woman's belief,
according to DR.. MacCracken.
The greatest opportunity today
lies in the developing field of pub
lie service. Skill is required and
will be needed more and more in
the realms of public welfare. There
is opportunity for women and for
men who are willing to work and
use their energy and brains. New
industries open the way for re-
search. New communities open the
way for pioneers.
Employment figures in college
bureaus are running ahead of last
years. That means that more
young people are going to work.
Flight from reality is being put
aside, DR.. MacCracken says, and
the young women of today are
learning to buckle down and go to
work instead of trusting to luck
and dreaming of better times.

4 Wilmington banks, which are
members of the Wilmington Clear
ing House Association, will be clos

representatives voted at the meet
ing are: Union National, Central

pany, Equitable Trust Company,
Wilmington Trust Company, Della
ware Trust Company, Security

a study Of the practice in other
states and communities in the
country, notably New Jersey banks
all of which were closed last year.
The reaction Of the customers as
well as the employees of the banks
is New Jersey were decidedly fav-
orable, according to information
given Oul Dy LHe AltIlCdH bduh-
.ers Association, which made a
study of the experiment last year,
especially as to the attitude of the
customer to the Saturday holiday
The closing of the Wilmington
banks on Saturdays will be an ex-
