State Offices To Be

System, Official Says

Clayton X. Watkins, clerk of the
Circuit Court for Montgomery
County, has been advised that Her
bert R. OiConor, Attorney General
of Maryland, has submitted an opin.
ion to Col. Harry C. Jones, State
Employment Commissioner, holding
that the Montgomery County merit
system law enacted at the last reg
ular session of the General Assembly
does not apply to employees Of his
office.
The opinion states: "Their assist.
ants and aides are paid from fees re.
ceived in the office and excess fees
are remitted to the State Treasury
The Legislature has already pro
vided an agency to regulate employ
ment of such persons and to pro.
vide for their retirement under GER
tain conditions"
The Attorney Generals opinion
also holds that Registrars of Wills
are also State officers, which is in
terpreted to mean that the employees
of the office of the Registrar OF
Wills for Montgomery County are
likewise exempt from the provisions
of the merit system act.

DISCOVERS REMEDY
FOR BEAN BEETLES

College Station, Raleigh, July q
Mexican bean beetles, serious menace
to the beans of North Carolina gar
dens and truck farms, can be eradi-
Gated with rotenone, said j. o. Rowell
extension entomologist at State Col
lege.
This material, he said, is dedaly
to the beetles but harmlesc ~ human
beings.
When beetles are found on the
beans, or when egg clusters are found
on the underside of the leaves, he
recommends spraying or busting with
finely ground derris or cube root
which contain rotenone.
For a spray, the dust should con-
tain 4 percent rotenone. Mix 1 1-2
pounds of dust with SO gallons of
water, or for smaller amounts 1 IL
ounces of dust to 3 gallons of water.
Spray the plants thoroughly, using
80 to 100 gallons per acre, and be sure
the spray reaches the underside of
the leaves, Rowell stated.
Growers who have busting equip
ment can get good results by dust
ing on finely ground derris or cube
root containing 34 of one percent
rotenone.
Apply the dust at the rate of Is to
20 pounds per acre of snap or bush
