CONTROL OF JAPANESE BEETLE
DESCRIBED BY SPECIALIST

Control of the Japanese beetle is
difficult because of the wide range of
plants upon which 1t feeds, according
to DR.. George S. Langford, Specialist
in insect control for the Maryland
Extension Service. Community eff
fort and cooperation are valuable
adjunct to individual effort, he
states.
Five control measures recon-
mended by DR.. Langford are, spray
ing, use of traps, Earring, soil treat
ment and by planting plans.
1t is possible, he says, to protect
the foliage Of most plants by keeping
them covered thoroughly with de-
post of spray residue. The first ap-
plication of spray should be made
around June rs and followed with
two or three additional applications
at weekly or ten-day intervals. Use
of spray made with one pound of
hydrated lime in three gallons of
water is advised for grapes, small
fruits and early ripening tree fruits,
all portions of the foliage being kept
covered. Corn may be protected by
busting the tips of ears with fine n.y.
drafted lime when the plants start to
silk.
ncHnu m rnfn n II.
and shade trees, may be protected by
spraying with pounds of oleate-
coated arsenate of lead paste to SO
gallons of water. If this is not avail
able, common arsenate of lead. 9
pounds and wheat -four 2 pounds in
SO gallons of water may be used.
For tender foliage and flowers, DR..
Langford advises use Of pyrethrum
soap sprays, several of which are on
the market. he says. These are to
be used according to the manufac-
turers direction. A kill may be OBJ
tanned, it is stated, by spraying with
/ pound of common soap dissolved in
or 4 gallons of water.
Several types of traps are manu-
featured and marketed in which
thousands of beetls may be caught.
They are attracted to the traps by
use of geraniol.
If heavily infested plants are
Jared early in the morning, before
the beetles are active. large numbers
can be caught in sheets and de-
stroyed.
A lawn may be made immune to
injury by Japanese beetle grubs by
treating ii with arsenate OF lead.
Further information regarding this
pest and eonrol measures may be OBJ
tanned by writing to the State En-
tomologist. University Of Maryland,
College Park. Maryland.

ENTRIES SHOULD BE MADE NOW
IN TEN.ToN TOMATO CONTEST

Plans for the ninth annual Mary
land Ten-Ton Tomato Club Contest
are just about complete and any
growers desiring to enroll should
notify their respective county agents
before August /, II Is announced by
Herman A. Hunter Canning Crops
Specialist for the University of Mary
land Extension Service. The con-
test is sponsored by the Extension
Service in cooperation with the Tri-
State Packers Association and is
omen and free to all growers in
MARYLAND. Two acres is the minimum
that may be entered by any one
grower I'm the contest.
This year the contest will be con-
Quoted somewhat differently in that
Il will be divided into two parts. The
first division will be for those grow
ers having two To five acres entered
and the second division Is for grow
ers having in excess of five acres
entered. Gold watches will be
awarded the two growers making
highest yields per acre in each group
and all growers producing ten or
more tons of tomatoes to the acre
will receive certificates of member
ship in the Ten-Ton Tomato Club.
The object of the Ten-Ton Tomato
club is to encourage production of
higher yields per acre of canning
tomatoes. According to Mr.. Hunter,
experience has shown that in general
higher yield means better quality
tomatoes and a resulting increase in
profits for the grower
The winner of first prize last year
was A. II. Peterson, of Cambridge,
who produced an average of 1853
tons of tomatoes on 500 acres.
Russell p. Smith, also of Cambridge,

THE PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE
AND THE BABY

Speaking of the public health
nursing service available to young
mothers in the counties, DR.. j. II. M.
Knox, Jr., Chief of the Bureau of
Child Hygiene of the State Depart
ment of Health, said: 1T has often
been said and said truly that young
baby needs medical and nursing care
even more than sick adult does.
The baby is entirely dependent upon
others for its food, and the routine
care given it. If these are satisfac-
tory the baby usually thrives but If
any essential matters are neglected,
the baby often sickens and may die,
1.-The best way to be sure your
baby has the care needed to keep it
well, is to secure full directions from
your own doctor and to carry them
out carefully. AS the baby grows,
these will be changed from time to
time in accordance with its needs.
This is the reason it is important for
the doctor to see a young baby fire.
quently. He should see the baby at
least once month during the early
months. In certain instances, he
may ask, through the health officer,
that the health department nurse
visit the home and assist the mother
in carrying out his directions.
For those mothers who employ
midwives and are not able to take
their babies regularly to the doctor
the public health nurse is OF special
service. The number of nurses en-
ployed by the County Health Depart
ments is limited, but in each county
a call to the Health Officer request
ing that nurse visit the home to
advise an expectant mother or a
mother with a young baby will re-
ceive prompt attention.
There are many ways in which
an experienced public health nurse
can be of service to a young mother
with her first baby. For instance,
she can be helpful in promoting
breast nursing. She can also show
the mother how to prepare the feed
ings for the bottle-fed baby from
cows milk, using the utensils in the
home. She can show her how to
battle and dress the baby; advise her
as to where it should sleep, how to
protect it from sick persons in the
family and from disease-carrying
flies.
early symptoms of illness which
may escape the attention of the
mother will be recognized by the
nurse who will report to doctor
for directions or will ask him to see
the baby in time to prevent serious
trouble.
''The public health nurse cannot
assume the complete care of the
baby. She can however be of great
value in instructing the mother in
general measures of routine care, re-
porting to the family doctor if there
is one, or to the County Health Off
Ger, for any special directions which
may be required"
