They will inspect there the spraying done by the U. S. Bureau of Entomology to control he codling moth. For several years growers of late apples have experienced heavy losses through what they called i nue injurs. Last spring the U. S. j Bureau of Entomology, co-operat i ng with the State Experiment station, undertook an investigation 0 f the trouble, and sent two work er5- Messrs. Sellkregg and Leach, j n t 0 the field to study the trouble, These men came to the conclusion ' that the trouble was probably due to the codling moth, and they pre f er spraying methods to hold the insect in check. Mr. Shellkregg has made laboratory studies of the insect, while Mr. Leach has over-1 seen the practica! work in the field, Wednesday afternoon they willed tell the apple growers what they have found, and Mr. Leach will conduct them through the orchard j and explain the various methods of I " j treatment.

To Have Graphic Exhibit The agronomy department of the a college has finished ten years' work in field crop experiments at the college farm. The results of var i 0 us kinds of fertilizer will be shown graphically by means of bags of wheat filled to show the yields per acre of each treatment, A similar exhibit will be made showing the results secured with the rotation and fertilization of the corn crop. A special feature ' 0 f this exhibit will consist of numerous arieties of wheat which has been selected this year to show the variation in quality and the range of disease resistance shown between varieties. The department of plant path ology, by means of enlarged color photographs, and by specimens of some of our worst plant dis eases, will show what is being done <and cart be done in the control of I most of our plant disease. Delà ware, by reason of its being devot ed to numerous truck crops, is subject to enormous losses from plant disease each year. The department of horticulture l will have an exhibit of photo £ ra Phs and an exhibit of fruit to illustrate the work that is being carried on at the college farm and in co-operation with the farm bu reaus.

MOSQUITOES PREVENT ENJOYMENT OF PORCHES j The presence of an unusual number of mosquitoes in the lower sections of town particularly on ^ be s j de 0 £ g ou ^ b College Av enue and Eagt Delaware Avenue ;for the past few weeks make ner tinent the following means of ex termination suggested in the Phil a delphia North American bv Her-' ' man Hornig, city entomologist Coal oil and gold fish constitute their'the prescription: The goldfish should not be m ; :: ed with the coal oil, however Thev should be used separately Gold fish are fine in fountains and small ' pounds decorating the lawns of i suburban homes. They eat mo '■squito eggs almost as fast as Mai' Skeeter can lay them, which calls for some appetite A cup of kerosene in everv drain pipe once a week will do more to eliminate the mosquito pest in the dred^inï of^ea^s! according 3 to Professor Hornig Salt-marsh mo sauitoes have been eliminated f rorn the Philadelphia vicinity during- the war. and they are the only great travelers in the skeeter family. Newark mosquitoes are all of the home bred variety, bred in drain pipe vents, broken bottles, garden pools, tin cans and other bric-a brae ordinarily found except just after clean-up week in many back yards or just over the back fence.. : In most houses there is some-1 where a vent leading to a trap in a drain pipe, water collects in the , bottom of this pipe. When the ] house is closed for any length of time, particularly in summer this water, becomes stagnant and mo squitoes thrive. One drain may j produce millions. Few of these ! town bred mosquitoes are danger ous but some bred in open pounds and larger pools are of the deadly: malarial variety. . .. , . . s ,, fit;b • ' : tbe , , n . . tb , better' 0 ... , , 1 stl11 lf thlS Can be done ' . , proof against the home-bred variety is to start and continue a; campaign of education in the schools, in the hope that when the youngsters grow up they will re-, member the lessons and put them to good effect.

Mosquito fighters are convinced that the only way ever to make the ' n a sec tion where the mosquitoes are thick can make the work of all l °fhers almost useless^ merely by doin £ nothing and letting the pests increase.
