Steps Taken
TO Develop
Oyster Beds
Shell Fisheries Commits
sion Reports On Pro-
gram Designed To In
crease Bivalve Yield.

The Delaware Commission of
Shell Fisheries, established by act
of the last State Legislature, is en-
deavoring to take the greatest ad-
vantage of scientific information
available to develop the oyster in
dustry. a natural resource of the
state which has been declining for
several decades. Deputy Attorney
General Henry j. RidgeIy. secre-
taTy. sets forth in a report of
achievements of the commission
since its recent organization.
The commission has met with
representatives of the Fish and
Wild Life Service of the federal
government and planned a con-
structive program for the cultiva-
tion of seed oysters and market
oysters within the waters of the
state. according to the commits
sion's report.
Accomplishments of the commits
sion include:
One thousand bushels of seed
oysters have been transplanted at
the mouths of each creek for the
exclusive use of tongers in order
to increase the acreage for longing
and to improve longing conditions
in the creeks.
Six thousand bushels of seed
oysters have been transplanted in
Broadkiln River for market oysters
for use of tOngers.
Leipsic Greek has been dredged
and approximately $4,000 bushels
of seed oysters have been trans
planted therefrOm and placed on
natural beds of the Delaware Bay
for future dredging purposes.
Cultivation of St. Jones River and
River has been accom-
plished by dragging dredges over
the bottom. causing the oysters to
be singled up and cleaning the
shells for new growth and greater
yield.
More than 1900 acres of new
bottoms in Indian River Bay and
Bay have been licensed
for private interests.

Bag Worms Are Creating
Il Menace To Delaware
Trees, Plants, Shrubber,

With shade and evergreen trees
and shrubs being menaced in the

w. S. Taber has advised prompt
use of poison spray or handpicking

Judging by the number of in
quiries being received by the State
Forestry Department lately. it ap-
pears that there is a heavy in
festation of bagworm in the state"
Taber said
'The bagworm gets its name from
the fact that the worm covers itself

a half inch to two inches in length.

Drought Plays Havoc
With Canning Crops
As Much As 800 OF String Bean
Output Is Reported As Ruined


Damage running into thousands
of dollars" has already been caus-
ed to crops in Kent and Sussex
counties as a result of the drought,
farmers and Gamers of lower Del
aware estimated this week
One large Gamer in the Bridge
vile section said the string bean
crop has been cut 65 per cent and
at the present time ii is completely
burned out. Some farmers were
forced to plow under the late crop
of string beans" he added. This
crop would normally last until the
middle of this month.
Another estimate was that only
10 per cent of the string bean crop
in Sussex county and 25 per cent
in Kent county could be picked.
J. Franklin Gordy, county agent
for Sussex county, said Tuesday
night that Camps Welch and Pen
uel. Boy Scout farm camps in the
Redden Forest, will shut down, and
that the boys will return home this
week. The other camps at Bridge
Vile, and Camp Caesar Rodney
will stay open temporarily. Mr..
Gordy said, however. that work is
very slack. and that If the weather
remains dry, it will be necessary
to close all the camps.
The Major H. V. Maull troop,
which started leaving Wilmington
this week for corn picking work
near st. Georges, will continue ac-

ton of a poison spray such as lead
arsenate. However. where the in
festation is light, the bags may be
picked off by hand or clipped of
with scissors and destroyed"
Taber cautioned that where the
infestation is heavy serious defolia-
tion of the plant may occur before
it is noticed. The bagworm seems
to have a special fondness for such
valuable and highly priced orna-
mental trees as Rosters Blue
spruce, arborvitae, Douglas fir and
the retinosporas. although it COM
monty occurs on a large number
of trees and shrubs. he explained.
Those who wish to prevent a re-
currence of the pest on their home
paintings, once they have control

moving and destroying all the bags
found during the coming winter,
