Eighth Edition Of
Spray Notes Are Out
Kent County Agent Wilson Mails
Valuable Data To Orchardists

In the eighth edition of orchard
spray notes mailed recently from
the Office of County Agent Russell
E. Wilson the fruit growers in Kent
county were advised that now is
the time to apply the third cover
spray to apple orchards in the
program for codling moth control.
The pupation of over-wintered
codling moth larvae has ended, and
it is evident that the emergence of
frst-brood moths is gradually
to a close for this season.
This is, however, very critical
period in codling moth control, es-
pecially since a struggling emer-
gence may be expected for some
time from packing houses and
sheds in and near apple orchards.

Rooms for LiUing
Architectural Wall paper
For Formal Treatments
BY JAMES r. PATTERSON
Supervisor of Interior Design at Pratt Institute

THE GREAT decorative styles
of the past - particularly in
Italy, France and England
made splendid use OF architec-
tural details to achieve interiors
of noble dignity. Frequently
these details were painted on or
applied as wallpaper. a means Of
elegant decoration quite as
handsome as actual architecture
but far less costly.
The idea has been revived
occasionally, but never with
more success than is seen in the
new set Of wallpaper details
recently shown for the first time
by one of the manufacturers
catering TO the decorative trade.
Made TO Order
Available through decorators
or recognized dealers, these
panels of various details are
made TO order in colors Of your
choice on one of the manufac-
turer's plain grounds As is the
case in all custom work. the cost
is definitely not in the budget
brackets but still is surprisingly
low when you consider that the
resulting decoration. both in
color and in arrangement of
details, would be exclusively
yours.
The design is in the classic
simplicity of eighteenth century
French and English architecture
following the spirit of tradition

Market Report

A LOT of vegetables which
are still disable will no doubt
be on sale at the markets
throughout the city this
weekend at prices much be-
low the regular selling marks.
This is due to the blockade
at the Union Produce Ter
nninal earlier in the week
when supplies Of fresh prod
ucts were piled up to quite
an extent.
In the plentiful supply
class are apples. avocados,
asparagus. DeetSl carrots,
celery, lettuce, potatoes. shall
lots, sweet potatoes and
spinach. On the scarce side
are beans, cab bage and
squash.
Beef. veal and pork loins
have advanced slightly in
price. A slight reduction is
expected on lamb. Dealers
recommend any cut Of pork
or front quarters Of lamb as
the best meat buys for this
weekend,
Prices have increased on
butter. eggs and cheese.
Broiling chickens have also
increased. Most fresh fish,
except Smelts from Michigan
and Wisconsin are rather
scarce and high priced. Lake
Erie perch and pickerel are
starting TO come in and as
the supply increases prices
will be lower.
