ed since his last program at the
Mayfiower and back only recently
from the antipodes, Mr.. Crooks
brought to the fore the full scope
of his singing ability. The sweet
and appealing quality Of his voice
had a poignancy with an almost
dramatic intensity at times, echoed
in the two groups OF old favorites
and duet which he sang with a
perfection of tone and style rarely
matched even by himself. What
difference does it make that many
of his selections were heard here
year after year? 1t is not what he
sings, but how he sings that matters
and if he can stir his audience by
the very sound or the infection of
his voice, he will ever reign supreme
in the admiration of his followers.

marked also the 10th anniversary of
his visits to the Capital. Mementos

FRUIT SPRAYS
CHECK PESTS
Growers Receive Data on Use
of Sprays to Insure Clean
Apple and Peach Crops
DATES FOR APPLICATION

Fruit growers in Kent county
recently have received from the Of
fee of County Agent Russell E.
Wilson the tenth edition of orchard
spray notes for this season, the in
formation for which was prepared
by DR.. K. ]. Kadow, plant path
ologist for the University of Della
ware and the State Board of Agri-
culture, and DR.. l.. A. Stearns, en-
tomologist of the Delaware exper-
iment station. With reference to
apple orchards, the fourth, and
last, cover spray for late varieties
for control of the first-brooG cod
ling moth was recommended on
June 25, and since that date the
bait pan records have indicated
considerable reduction in adult
moth flight. Although there has
been fairly good control of the first
brood of codling moth in this area,
additional spraying is necessary to
insure a clean crop of apples, and
it is advised that growers apply
three more sprays. The first ap-
plication was advised at the time
these spray notes were distributed
on July IL, and the second spray
is scheduled for about July 26,
while the third application is ad-
vised about August g. This advise
is based on bait pan records and
other data now available, conse-
quently fruit growers should use
this prediction only as a guide in
adjusting their spraying dates to
the schedule. If the apples are to
be washed, growers are advised to
use 3 pounds of lead arsenate and
5 pounds of hydrated lime per 100
gallons of water in all applications,
but if washing equipment is lack
ing it is recommended that they
use one of the nicotine substitutes
