uKY WHITE DISEASE MAKES
PROGRESS AGAINST JAP
REETLES

Agricultural leaders of Maryland
and Virginia and representatives OF
the u. S. Department of Agricul-
ture recently had an opportunity to
view results of the use of milky
white disease in the battle against
the Japanese beetle in Maryland.
The group visited work which is
being carried on under the supervi-
sion of the University Of Mary
land Department of Entomology on
the golf course of the Prince George
County Country Club, near Land
over, where considerable damage
has been done to the fairways by
the beetle during the last few years.
According to DR.. G. S. Langford,
Specialist in Insect Control, use OF
milky white disease in the State
has shown encouraging results thus
far and control has run as high as
90 percent in some areas. Since the
disease spore dust was applied at
the country club in lao, on one
fairway the number of healthy
beetle grubs per square foot dropped
from 81 in September 1871 to Id
in June 1912, and on the other fair
way the healthy grubs dropped from
3s to 4.6 per square foot for the
same period.
It was explained to the group that
while the milky white disease is
proving virulent and effective for
killing the beetle grubs, it requires
from to years in heavily infest-
ed areas to become fully effective
Where beetle infestations are
light more time may be needed be-
cause spread of the disease is in
direct ratio to. the number Of beet
les.
Treatment is made by inoculating
the land with q spore dust made by
grinding diseased BEETLE gruba with
chalk and tale. The name Of the d.

O'CONOR AIMING TO GIVE
STATE EMPLOYEES GREAT
Err INCENTIVES

The recent ceremonies, at which
more than 100 retired employees of
various State Departments and in
stitutions were presented certificates
Of service, and gold service pins,
by Governor Herbert r. O'ConOr, Is
part of well-rounded plan to make
State employment worthwhile
career for Maryland people, the Gov
srnor stated.
by initiating the practice of
making awards of emblems and cer-
eificates to those who have COM
oleted their services to the State,
10 give every encouragement to the
,aithful discharge of public duties
~ employees of the State.
ut was with this in mind that
he present State Administration
ponsored the legislation, estab-
ching the Retirement System last
ear. Already the sum of $453,O00
las been provided by the State, to
tut into the retirement fund for the
benefit of the employees. The sum
# $231,O00 is provided in this
years budget and $222,000 will be
available on October LIST. The rights
If State employees to participation
in this fund will be preserved at all
osts, and the entire system will
ontinue to be maintained on an ac-
uarial basis.
Estate Service should be career
o many people. Already 5,544 State
employees have become members of
he Retirement System. There are
many definite and important bene-
its to State employees; through the
operation of this system.
For example, optional retire.
ment at IS years of age, at which
time an allowance up to one-half of
the annual salary, dependent ON age
and length of service, is paid. In
addition, the law makes possible the
retirement Of an employee if he is
disabled in line of duty at any time,
Or If in any way he is physically
disabled after 10 years of service.
n event of death before retirement,
The estate of the employee received
Ill contributions made by the en-
ployee, with interest, plus a lump
sum payment. In the event that en-
ployee leave the State service, the
contributions are returned to them,
with interest.
Fl cannot commend too highly the
attitude of State employees, during
the present war emergency. Many,
who could obtain better paying posi-
tions, for temporary period, are
remaining at their State posts and
are giving faithful and conscien-
tious service to the people of this
State In return, they should receive
adequate salaries but it is also inn
portant, security for the future. It
has always been my belief that
three factors in personnel manage
ment should govern. They are:
1. A merit system to provide for
the selection of qualified employees
and their retention as long as they
perform their duties in an efficient
manner
2. Standardization of salaries so
that equal pay is given for similar
services.
8. A Retirement System to pro-
vide, with the aid of the emloyee,
a certain financial security when
they reach the age of retirement.

When The War Be Over?

Do you remember October, 1918
A World War was on and it as de-
stroying everything that laid in its
paths, on land and sea. Within four
weeks from that time the Kaiser
fed his country and the German
army surrendered. That's the way
wars end.
Even in those days the Allies were
planning on what thy would do in
1919-20-21.
History repeats. 1t likely will
happen again.
