Wolf Hall Crowded When Univer- ;
sity Boys Put on
Show
it has been a long time since such a
in Wolf
large crowd has gathered
Hall as was there on last Thursday j
night when the minstrel show under
the auspices of the Varsity and Foot
lights Clubs was staged. ;
To say the show was a success is to j
put it mildly. If anyone left Wolf
Hall after that performance with the ,
"blues" they can rest assured that
said "blues" are going on through
life with them. It was a "blues" dis
pelling performance and it went over
with a bang.
The show opened with a skit staged
by Givan and Christfield, as golfer
flapper, this went big and was a good
laugh producer.
Next on the program was Aubrey
Travers, who cleverly protrayed a
girl of grandmother's type, with hoop
skirts "and everything."
Daly, Brandt and Ivory came next
and they staged a "wrestling match
a la cinema eight times as slow."
"Cliff" Smith and Donalson enter
tained with well accepted musical
numbers. Jim Deputy gave a vocal
selection.
a
Then came the minstrel show with
its end men and circle. Then also did
the fun begin and keep going until
the final curtain.
To say that any special person's
performance was the feature of the
evening would be an injustice to all
the other members of the cast for
everyone went big and another per
formance of the show would not

CONTROL OF PEACH BORER,
IMPORTANT STEP FORWARD
I
New Jersey is making much head
I way in the total destruction of the
; peach tree borer. The experiments
made so far by the state agricultural
experiment station at New Bruns
wick have given such excellent re
su ^ s that more extensive experiments
conducted and these experi
ments will be confined to peach trees
—it now appears thatthe round and
flat-head apple tree borers can
be overcome with the same treatment
j
;
j employed f° r the peach borer and it
authoritatively stated by the sta
, ^ on cherries, blackberries and
plums, particularly the first and last,
respond to 100 per cent control of the
same borer that attacks and destroys
peach trees.
Here is what the station has to say
about experiments so far conducted
over a period of two seasons, ^he fall
of 1920 and 21 and some spring ex
periments May 1:
"Our experiments and observations
made in 100 or more orchards
throughout New Jersey permit us to
recommend the use of p. c. benzine for
the control of the peach tree borers in
trees six years of age or older.
"Furthermore, our observations to
date show that one-half ounce of p. c.
benzine may be used (when the soil
temperature is not too high, not above
seventy degrees Fahrenheit) on trees
3 to 5 years of age for two or three
weeks with comparative safety.
"We are not recommending its
on trees of this age, for we wish to
have another season's experience with
p. c. benzine before we make a definite
recommendation.
"Treatment of trees younger than
3 years of age is still in experimental
stage, consequently no statement
be made concerning these. Also the
control of peach tree borers in plum
and cherry trees and flat-headed
pie tree borers in apple trees, and
blackberry crown borers in blackberry
and raspberry bushes is subject to
further experiments.
Further information in other ques
tions pertaining to p. c. benzine for
the control of the pea^ch tree borer
will be found in circular 126 of the
New Jersey Agricultural Experiment
Station.

ENCOURAGING FRUIT
REPORT BY GROWER
State Senator Orlando Harrison, of
Worcester County, Md., who has large
fruit interests in both Delaware and
Maryland, recently declared, after a
careful investigation of the fruit
dition, that it is his opinion that the
crop of late apples and peaches will
produce 100 per cent yield.
A report of this nature from
of the authority of Senator Harrison
is most encouraging after the
previous reports that these crops
