PROMPT SPRAYING MAY HALT
MARCH OF SCALE INSECTS


1t is not too late to win the war
against growing armies of tree
ravaging scale insects. Because
cold, wet weather limited the
amount of spraying that could be
done this spring, these tree pests
have become even more serious
than usual in many sections. But
control is still possible during the
crawler stage, advise Davey tree
experts.
Various types of scale insects
attack trees throughout most of
the nation. Often they are hard to
spot at an early stage because
they are small and frequently
similar in color to the bark on
which they feed. Consequently,
they may go unnoticed until they
have multiplied considerably and
caused great deal of damage.
The voracious pests drain large
amounts of life-giving sap from
valued and beautiful trees and
shrubs. They often attack the
weakest trees, especially ornamen-
tai paintings growing in unnatural
situations.
AS trees grow by man on
home site are often weaker than
those in natural surroundings,
these domestic pets afford prize
targets for the scale insect hordes.
In general, scale insects are best
controlled with an oil spray ap-
piled in the spring before the buds
burst. Where weather or other cir
cumstances have prevented spray
ing and where Serious infestation

POultrymen From New Castle
County to Visit New Jersey
A Poultry Tour to Ocean Coun-

%, has been planned by the Della
ware Poultry Improvement As
sociation. The itinerary has been
set up by Richard Hartmen,

poultry county. Two stops will be
made in the morning to see a
square house 100000 with fan
ventilation and automatic feeders;
and a round house 100 ft. in dia-
meter. Lunch has been arranged at
Peterson's Sunset Cabin and three
farms will be visited in the after
noon. One of the afternoon stops
will be the Lakewood Egg Farm
which has a capacity of $4,000
birds along with a hatchery and
breeding farm.
The group plans to be back in
Delaware between 500 and $50

Rebounding and High Scoring
OF Windsor Sparks Bell Five
By Bob .Honson

AS the puzzer sounded ending
the basketball game, thrilling
STAT victory for Bell over
Roosevelt High School last Tues
day, jubilant Bell supporters
poured out of the wooden stands
onto the court and surrounded
one of the players. But it was
easily understood why they
didn't lift him up on their
shoulders and carry him off.
The youth singled out was
Ray Windsor. 6-foot-412 and
1876 pounds. Probably because
of his size, Windsor gives the i'm
preston of being awkward while
playing. Nevertheless, he has
averaged 18 points a game in
the ST. record hung up by Bell
thus far.
It isn't his scoring, however,
that puts him in the limelight.
Windsor's height and driving
type of play under the basket
have stamped him as probably
the top rebounder in the Inter-
high League. His repeated grabs
as he outjumped his opponents,
and teammates as we'll. gave Bell
possession of the ball for the
greater part of the Roosevelt
game. And Windsor also man
aged to get 19 points, high for
both teams.
Windsor, who was about 3
inches shorter and some 35
pounds lighter when he entered
Bell three years ago. never COM
peted in sports before entering
the school. Since then he has
played basketball three years,
football three. the last two years
an end on The Stars All-High
second team. and one year as an
outfielder on the baseball team.
He was talked into going out for
the teams by two of his cousins,
George Mulloy and Jack Fred
erick. both football and basket
ball players at Bell a few years
ago.
His type of play results in his
being fouled frequently. He has
made good Is of IS free throws
and in Bells two league VIC
tories Windsor has sunk 10 of
IL foul shots. 1t is significant
that the Vocats scored Is points
in the last quarter against
Roosevelt, with l3 of the points
on fouls. On the other hand,
despite his aggressiveness, Wind
Sor has averaged less than three
fouls a game. being called on
him.

Ruel, general manager, the 30
year-old right handler, who had

KEGS. He was released to the
Yankees on waivers from the
Boston Red Sox August %. 1852.
Scarborough broke into the
major leagues with Washington
in 1912. He stayed with that
club until 1949 when he was
traded to the Chicago White Sox
for a short period and then
