NURSERY INSPECTION
TO BEGIN ON MARCH !

Spring inspection for diseases in
Maryland nurseries and. on farms
which produce strawberry plants for
sale will begin March 1, it is an
nounced by r. T. Grant, County
Agent.
Inspection is made at this time
primarily for Red STEELE disease, which
has been severe in Maryland for a
number of years, but which is now
being brought under control through
use of clean ground and healthy plant
ing stock.
AS the Red STEELE disease is not
readily recognized until about March
LIST and as there are more than 1000
acres to be inspected, growers who
do not sell strawberry plants are ask
ed to cooperate by not requesting in
spection at this time. Under the law,
a nurseryman or grower who sells
strawberry plants must have his
fields inspected for major diseases
and insects in the spring and fall.
Those who have plants for sale
and wish them inspected should get
in touch with DR.. Walter LETTERS,
in care of County Agent j. P. Brown,
Salisbury, at an early date.

For 80 minutes Thursday night

gently to lift out his body.
Private McGlother stirred, then
yawned. He stood up. slowly,

mats, were 1orcibly described.

Said the journal: We see ddp- lomats pulling wires, stealing marches on each other, laying long and crafty plans which al- most invariably mdscarry, and missing obvious events which throw all their designs into con- fusion. And on one side or the other there is perpetual exploit ing of the inherent loyalty and patriotism of their countries in quarrels which are mere com- bativeness for no purpose.
 "War kills men," says Henry Fosdtck. "So does our economic system, resisting the expense of safer conditions of labor. War brutalizes men? So does our eco- homie system, ruining multitudes with hours of labor that no life can endure, under conditions that no character can sustain. War ruins childhood? So does our economic system, using up chil- dren like grist in our mills. There are brave and urselfish aspects to our commercial life, as there are to war. and noble men en- gagged in both, but no one who knows the under side of our fight for money can help knowing the horror of 1t. There is hardly a kind of agony on a modern bat tlefield that has not its counter part in our economic system!"
 These are matters for the thoughts of the people, for in the last analysis the people rAe, and thought is mightier than the sword.

had taken part in the Netherlands invasion and had been reported In Bucharest last month. They are the pick of all Germany for physique and fighting qualities.
 News of the battle, whcih took place Friday, reached authorities here only this morning.
 At the outset of the war the Nazis SS, the famous black uniformed storm troop corps, was mobilized and picked men from 1t were sent to the front in their own shock troop units.
 Authorities said they believed the Germans had recaptured the town of Kragujevac, on the Belgrade Nish railroad, which the Jugoslavs had taken from them But they added that the Jugoslavs were still counter-a attacking in the same area, north of Nish, and that their morale was good.
 The news from Greece served somewhat to offset that from north- ern Africa, where 1t was reported that British Empire forces might be compelled to withdraw to Marsa Matruh, more than 100 miles inside the Egyptian frontier, to stop the German-Italian drive.
 News that the Germans and Ital- ian forces, after an advance of 400 miles through Libya, had taken the frontier town of Bardia caused arlx- iety here for the immediate future of the situation in northern Africa.

 18th Week Tuesday
 Hartford, Conn, April 14-(UP) The general assembly begins its 18th week tomorrow with major legislation still tied up in commit tee, but with the first of Gov. Hur- ley's major appointments scheduled to be made before the week is out.
 Most of the governors appoint ments which require legislative con- firmation, according to statute, must be made on or before May l.. Among appointments covered by this provision are motor vehicles, public utilities, statue revision and liquor, which does not require con- firmation.
 The two public utilities appoint ments, unlike the others, require approval by both houses.
 Meantime, major legislation con- tinues to be stalled in committee, with about 30 session days to go With the time 1t takes for concur rent action, 1t appeared there would be a scramble toward the end of the session, with probably considerable legislation unacted upon.
 For a time, 1t appeared the state labor relations act, Gov. Hurley must" bill, would reach the floor of the senate last week. But Q strong protest by both labor branch es against the definition of unfair labor practices and other provisions forced legislators to return the mea- sure to committee for further re- vision.
 The savings bank life insurance bill, already passed by the senate, languished in the files of the house banks committee. Committee mem bers said several plans for this type of low cost insurance were being studied. Another administration measure revising the states entire milk con- trol set-up may be reported this week my the agriculture committee.
 Measures revising the states pulp lie utilities control set-up also were expected shortly from committee.
 Legislative experts predicted jam would result in the final days of the session in which many minor bills would be lost. The jam, 1t was said, would provide opportunities for extensive trading between the two major parties.

 Scarcity of News
 There was a paucity of news here about operations in Greece, except for continued reports of heavy air attacks upon Greek ports which were described as intended to pre- vent the British from fleeing by sea If forced to give up their foothold in Greece.
 It was believed that Germany may be waiting until all resistance has been pulverized in Jugoslavia before throwing hte whole mass of her southeastern army against the An- glo- Greek defense lines.
 This would resemble the German plan of operations in the western front cmapaign last spring when the German high command waited until the Flanders pocket had been cleaned up before hurling their main force against the SomIne- EAAoiiC AiAt0s
 German airplanes yesterday smashed ct Jugoslav communica- tions and heavily bombed Sarajevo and Pieraeus, port of Athens, the communique daded. In Africa, the high command said, German and Italian forces cap tured Sollum, on the Egyptian sirde of the Libyan border, and Fort Ca- puzzo, on the Libyan side.
 Nazis asserted that the hours of Jugoslavia as a state were number ed and that Germany and Italy would proceed to break the British Greek line in Greece, drive Britain out of the eastern Mediterranean and then launch the supreme at- teak on the British Isles to end the war.

 The 300-unit project should do much to alleviate the local housing shortage, which has been growing more critical by the week. Rents have become more and more scarce in every section of the city since the defense boom started last.
