THE JAPANESE BEETLE
County Agent Advises How To
Fight Pest

Fight Pest
Following one of the coolest win
tiers experienced in many years, am
receiving an extra ordinary number
of inquiries as to whether or not the
low temperatures killed the over
wintering Japanese beetle grubs. In
reply to this inquiry it has been
necessary for me to advise that the
cold weather did not kill the grubs.
The Japanese beetle grubs inhabit
the soil and are capable of, and do
migrate, therefore, they adjust them
selves to temperatures that are fav-
orable for overwintering. They
usually winter below the frost line
This past winter the ground was
covered with snow. This served as
an insulating material, and provided
excellent protection for the grubs.
Concerning the general japanese
beetle situation in the county, will
say we had a severe outbreak in Elk
ton and vicinity last year. Many
flowers, ornamentals, fruit trees and
grape vines were defoliated. This
coming year we anticipate another
outbreak more serious than the one
which occurred last year. My office,
in cooperation with the entomol-
ogists at the University of Maryland,
is now planning program to aid the
people of the county to fight the
beetle. With us the beetle is new
pest and is proving itself to be very
serious one. From all indications it
is going to bring about many changes
in agriculture and gardening, as it is
practiced in the county today. /
feel it is going to be necessary for
the people to adjust their agriculture
and gardening to meet the new con-
ditions brought about by this pest.
We are now advising the garden
clubs and local people of the neces-
sity of planting, when possible and
practical, trees, shrubs, and orna-
mentals that are not attacked so as
to avoid injury and the necessity of
spraying later when the beetles ap-
pear. We are also recommending
that when new lawns are made they
be grub-proofed with arsenate of
lead, 35 pounds to 1000 50. it., and
that old laws be grub-proofed with
10 pounds of arsenate of lead to
1000 SO. it.
Later in the season (June 10 to
Aug. / when the beetles are pres
ent, we will recommend the use, of
traps and sprays. On grapes and
early ripening fruit we use hydrated
lime, 1 pound in gallons of water
On other plants we use spray made
up of arsenate of lead, pounds;
wheat -four, pounds and water 100
gallons.
The above sprays injure soil and
discolor many Towering plants, as
roses. On such plants we advise the
use of pyrethrum sprays.

SECRECY Wells
NEWU. ). SHIP

Although the Nays new two
million-dollar man-of-war, the
Erie, already has been launched
and is scheduled for duty in
Central American waters this
summer, the Navy Department
continues to throw a veil of deep
secrecy over the newest addition
to Uncle Sans sea fighting force.
Officers at the Brooklyn (N.Y0
Navy Yard, where the ship was
launched with 1000 persons look
ing on, declared no particular
precautions were taken, though
photographers were barred from
taking pictures of the new vessel.
Even on nearby Williamsburg
Bridge during the launching cere-
mony. cameramen were baked in
attempts to photograph the Erie.
A special detail of police on the
bridge explained they were en-
forcing an old regulation dating
back to World War days against
photographing a Government
ship.
Classed as a gunboat but pos
SesSing many characteristics of a
cruiser, the Erie is of a design
which sets her apart from any
other war ship built in this coun-
try. She was designed for shall
low water and aStal patrol
work, but with a protective deck
and side belt of armor, she is
able to operate also for deep
water convoy work.
The Fries first commander,
Comdr. E. w. Hanson, will have
a crew of II officers, las enlisted
men and As marines. She will
mount four six-inch guns and
four, smaller rapid-fire anti-air-
craft guns and will carry a sea-
plane for observation purposes.

u. 5. PROJECTS
GIVE COUNTY
PROBLEM

UPPER MARLBORO, Md, Jan.
31.-Despite the fact that assess
able property in Prince Georges
county increased by $1,739,215 last
year, as reported to the county
commissioners by Thomas w. Bax-
ter, supervisor of assessments,
Tuesday, citizens and officials Of
the county are now expressing a
doubt that the county will receive
any material benefit from the in
crease.
Sales of county property to the
Federal Government and inability
of the county to dispose of land
purchased at tax sales has cut the
amount Of new property on which
taxes can be levied to only $780,
900, and officials believe that the
increased costs of running the
county will amount to much more
than that.
Can't Be Assessed
The 500 acres recently pur-
chased near Cheltenham for a
new naval radio station and the
5000 acres taken near Berwyn
for "Tugwelltown," Federal reset
Element project, has a total w, !ua-
ton of $272,220. That property.
when added to the amount
already under development for
the Beltsville Experimental Farm,
gives the Federal Government a
holding over approximately IL
per cent of the whole county,
and none Of it can be assessed
for taxes.
County officials fear that the
existence of the Federal projects
will entail a large expense to the
county, even though the county
takes no active part in the devel-
opmentS.
Must Build Roads
"Tugwelltown" is completely
surrounded by county property,
and if the Federal authorities
build roads within the settlement,
the county will be forced to build
highways connecting the town
with the State roads, an expense
the county would not have to bear
otherwise.
Provision must also be made
shortly for the teaching of the
500 children expected to live in
"Tugwelltown," a question which
the Federal authorities have not
yet worked out. A plan has been
suggested whereby the, county
undertake the schooling of the
children and pay for it through
a tax on property in the town.
However, because of the low cost
of the property and housing in
the settlement, the money thus
raised would fall far short of the
amount needed, even if the Fed
eral Government erects the school
house.

z0NING BOARD
GIVES0. K. TO
APARTMENT

ARLINGTON COURTHOUSE,
Jan. 81. - Another low-cost hous-
ing project designed to attract
tenants from the District of Co
lumbia is virtually assured for
Arlington county with the APP
prevail of the Arlington County
Board of Zoning Appeals of a pro-
posed 720-apartment house t, be
erected in the Aurora Hills section
of the county.
Completion of this project, to
cost $4,200,000, will afford more
than 1900 such apartments in Ar
lington county. The Colonial Vii
lage development, now nearing
completion on Wilson Boulevard,
will house more than 800 families
at a rental of $3.50 per room.
Nearly 800 apartments in the Co
lonial Village are now occupied.
Two to Six Stories
Ranging in height from two to
six stories, the new Development
being promoted by Henry C. Nor
riS, prominent Washington and
Virginia real estate developer
will be situated on a site covering
more than 10 acres of land in
one of the most exclusive reSiden-
tial sections of the county. Z
Less than five acres of the
ground will be covered by the
buildings, with the remaining por-
ton devoted to park area, play
grounds, tennis courts, baseball
fields, swimming pools and other
recreational facilities for its
tenants.
Meeting in the courthouse yes
terday, the board of coming ap-
pealS unanimously approved the
project and will submit its rec
concentrations to the Arlington
county board of commissioners
for final approval.
Fight Goes On
Action of the board of zoning
appeals is considered tantamount
to final, since the commissioners
have always accepted the recon-
mendationS of the coming body.
Two of the five members of the
county board said today they did
not expect this case to prove an
exception to the rule.
Bitterly opposed, by numerous
civic organizations of the county,
and officials of the Army and
Navy Country Club, at a public
hearing earlier this week before
the coming body, opponents of
the project who contend that
apartments Shout not be per-
mitted in sections zoned residen-
tial "a" indicated today that
they would continue their fight
before the board of commission
erS when final action is taken at
a meeting scheduled for February
IA.
Housing 0. X. Given
Realizing the widespread in
terest in the issue, members of
the board of commissioners yes
terday voted to take its final
action at an evening session in
order to permit interested per
sons to attend. 1t was originally
to vote on this issue at
the regular morning session.
Mr.. Morris, the promoter of
the project, said today that he
would not apply for the building
permit until afte- the county
board has disposed of the issue.
Under the present Zoning laws,
however, there is nothing to
prohibit the issuance of such a
permit. 1t was a repeal of this
section of the zoning law that
indignant citizens living near the
proposed site sought.
A building permit for the huge
project will put $4,000 in the
county'S treasury. Officials of
the Federal Housing Administra-
ton, according to Mr.. Morris,
have already expressed them
selves favoraoly toward the
project, which should get under

bill mean nothing. Alexandria
and Arlington could vote against
tracks but Fairfax could vote for
one and undo the effects of the
other two elections, she pointed
out. "Our people want homes,
not rack tracks," Mrs. Brookings
said in referring to the 5000 new
homes which have been or are
being constructed in Fairfax
county.
The idea that horse breeding
would die out in Virginia unless
the bills were passed was ridi-
culed by George Nc. Finnigan,
Richmond attorney, who told the
committee his father had been a
horse breeder and that he had
grown up around tracks and race
horses. He said legalizing tracks
would increase everything that
feeds on easy money-prostitu-
ton, other forms of gambling,
night clubs, and dope peddling.
