ranged for a , meet i ng 0 f the apple 0

ore hard of L. H. Derby at ! 0
Woodside, Kent County today at
2 o'clock. 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.

greater milk production per cow.
Four or five heifers of good con

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.
The home economics department
j has arranged to give demonstra
jtions daily in canning, preparation
of food, etc. By means of several
| sets of slides and a specially con-;

;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 ; ::

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.
