JAP BEETLE SPRAY
Predict Heavy Infestation in Della
ware This Year

japanese beetles are beginning to
appear in Delaware, and from the
numbers of grubs discovered earlier
there is likely to be a heavy infes-
tation this year according to Har-
vey L. Chada, assistant entomoligst
for the Delaware Agricultural Ex-
tension Service. Although promis-
ing results from distribution of
milky white spore dust to kill beetle
grubs have been observed, it is still
necessary that control measures
against adult beetles be practiced,
since not enough time has elapsed
for the disease to become establish
ed sufficiently to kill all grubs.
Spray Formulas
Rotenone bearing materials COM
monty used are not available for
control of japanese beetles during
the emergency, and shortages in
other spray materials make it nec-
essary to conserve them as much as
possible. Mr.. Chada has prepared
a mimeographed publication, avail
able through county extension Of
fees at Newark, Dover, and
Georgetown, giving formulas for
recommended sprays and telling
how to use them to protect the var
ious types of plants which the Jap
anese beetles attack.

RENT OFFICE TO
CLOSE JUNE 30
DOver-SeafOrd Branch to Be
Consolidated With Will
mingtOn Office
INSPECTOR HERE FRIDAY

Effective June 30th the Dover
Seaford Branch Office of the Will
mington Defense-Rental Area will
be consolidated with the Whining
ton Office, and the Dover Office will
be permanently closed. This an
,nouncement was made by Joseph
Donald Craven, area rent director.
According to Mr.. Craven the volume
of work of the Dover-Seaford Of
flee has diminished as result of a
reent ruling to the effect that re-
sort properties rented only during
the Summer season are not subject
to rent control.
Circuit Riders
This does not mean,' said Mr..
Craven, that rent control will be
any less effective for Kent and Sus-
sex Counties. On the contrary, by
the use of circuit riders who will
visit designated towns in each of
the two (2) counties on the same
day every week, it is hoped to be
able to give greater service to
property owners and tenants" All
the files and other records of the
Dover-Seaford Office will be remov-
ed to Wilmington and it is expected
that the new inspection schedule
will go into effect on Thursday,
July 1st.
In Smyrna Friday
Kathryn c. Ashmore, inspector
who has been working out of the
Wilmington Office, will be in Smyr-
ma every Friday from 10 m. to
$3.50 p. m. Although not definitely
decided, it is believed that Mrs.
Ashmore's headquarters in Smyrna
will be the Council Room.
