The Japanese Beetle
Battle Begins
Determined War Being Wag-
ed Against Spread OF The
Destructive Pest

The Japanese BEETLE is making its
appearance lin Increasing numbers
in almost every section of our coun-
ty, and Federal, State and County
authorities are making a determin-
ed fight to check the spread of the
nest that does such widespread
damage.
Ccunty Agent, j. q. Miller an
nounces that traps are now available
for farmers and residents in all
sections of the county. Funds were
, provided by the authorities to pay a
large part of the cost of the traps,
and they are being distributed from
Elkton, Cecilton and Rising Sun.
Last year more damage was done
by the pests than any time previous.
Not emily did they attack flowers,
eyergreens and various kinds OF
fruit trees, doing great damage, but
also inflicted severe damage to
growing corn. 1t is estimated that
thousands of bushels of corn was
ruined or greatly damaged.
Farmers and property owners who
found few BEETLES around last year
or who have observed some already
this season are urged to obtain as
many traps as they can tend salts
factcrily. The support of everyone
in the county is needed to check
the ravages of this pests reports the
county agent.
Increasing numbers of beetles
will continue to emerge from their
winter habitat for the next week
or ten days and will probably
reach their peak of activity around
July %.

Avoid Leaflets Three

"Use your eyes when you go
through the woods. You can recogn-
ize poison ivy by the way its leaves
are divided into threes. If you see
leaflets three; let them be-" sums
IN the answer and advice of DR.. r..
H. Riley, Director of the Maryland
State Department of Health to a
question as to how to avoid the
danger of skin poisoning -dermatis
from contact with poison ivy.
.sIn this part of the world, poison
ivy is very persistent pest" DR..
Riley continued. "You will find the
vine festooned over fences and fence
posts, growing over walls, climbing
up and over tree trunks, scramble
ing along the ground or attaching
itself to underground. 1t is de-
termined and very luxuriant grower
You can't miss It. But avoid touch
ing it. You can usually distinguish
it from other vines by its three
leaflets. 1t is often entangled with
Virginia creeper or woodbine. But
the Virginia creeper has five leaflets
not three-and is harmless.
1.-THE skin poisoning caused by
poison ivy and by other members OF
the same plant family. is due to
an irritating, resinous substance in
the sap of the plants. Anybody who
has ever suffered an attack ofpoison-
ing from poison ivy has every rea-
son for remembering to- keep hands
off of it. The slightest brushing OF
the leaves or handling of the plants
will release the poisonous sap. 1t is
deposited on anything that touches
it. not only on the hands and face,
but on clothing, shoes, tools, garden
implements, golf clubs, golf balls,
and the fur of animals. The poison
may even be carried long distances
in the smoke from burning leaves
or stems or roots of the plants in
camp fires and in brush fires.
1.-THE best way to protect yourself
against poison ivy dermatitis is to
avoid. touching the plants. If you
happen to come in contact with
poison ivy, the first thing to do is
to lather the hands and other af-
fected parts, thoroughly, with suds
from a good alkaline soap-strong,
yellow kitchen soap-rinsing fire.
quently in clear water. The abund-
ant soapy lather will help to dis
solve the oily sap, which is not af-
fected by water, alone. But be very
careful in rinsing not to spread the
irritating poison.
1.-THE poison retains its strength
for a long time on objects that have
come in contact with it-even last
ing from one season to another.
Clothing or tools or other objects
that have been contaminated by the
sap or juices from the plants should
be thoroughly scrubbed with soap
suds before they are put away.
Constitutional disturbances, few
or, digestive and kidney complica-
tions may occur in connection with
the skin poisoning produced by
poison ivy and other members OF
that plant family. Accordingly, as
soon as any signs of the poisoning
occur, consult your family doctor.
He win give you detailed directions
as to what you should do"
