Hay Crop Insects Appear In Maryland

spray as soon as spittlc is found
on the plants. The insects can be
found in small masses of spittlc in
the crowns of clover, alfalfa and
various weeds.
Here are his recommendations
for spraying to control Spittlcbugs,
selecting material most convenient
to use;
BHC-1 quart of II percent
cmulsifiahle concentrate per acre;
MethoXychlor-1ia quarts of 25
percent emulsifiablc concentrate
per acre;
ToNaphene-1 quart 60 percent
cmulsifiahle concentrate per acre.
Dilute these spray materials
with Is or more gallons of water
per acre. Spraying should be done
before the crop is eight inches tall,
Carter says.
When pea aphids are also present
on alfalfa, BIC is the best insecti-
eide to use, since it will control
both spittlcbugs and pea aphids,
Carter said.
1t appears, from experience last
year, that spraying for spittlebugs
will also control alfalfa wecvils,
according to Mr.. Bisscll.
Glover leaf weevils are usually
held in check by fungus disease.
They can be controlled with d BIC
spray.

Game and Fish
Commission To
Meet In Oakland
Public Hearing Scheduled At
Southern High On Friday,
April oath

April Z4ln
The State Game and Inland Fish
Commission will conduct a public
hearing in the library of the
Southern Garrett High school at
Oakland on Friday evening, April
"a, at 1870, it was announced by
Ernest A. Vaughn, director, this
week
The discussion will concern pro-
posed regulations covering four
items: open seasons, deer season,
bow and arrow season for deer,
and batting.
Other important matters pei tain
ing to wildlife conservation also
will be discussed, it was stated.
As the result of an enactment
of the General Assembly of Mary
land the Game and Inland Fish
Commission can change open
seasons and bag limits on game
birds and game animals only with
in the prescribed seasons and bag
limits set forth in the bill.
In explaining the measure, one
sportsman declared that the COM
mission could decrease the season
or decrease the bag limit on any
game bird or game animal but
could not increase them. This could
be done only by Legislative action.
The open seasons include
squirrel, October to October 81;
woodcock, October l to January 5;
luffed grouse, November IA to Jan
uary 5; pheasant, November Is to
January 5; rabbit or hare, Novem-
Der IA to January 5; Partridge, No
vember Is to January 5; deer,
special bow and arrow season, De-
tober IS to November IS.
The commission, under the rcgu-
lation, could shorten the squirrel
season, for instance, making it De-
tober 10 to October 81, same as
last year, but would not be able to
extend it.
Deer Season
The second item concerns the
regulation No. 10, adopted April
%, 1852, concerning hunting of deer
in various counties. Instead of II
counties there would be Is, the
counties of Caroline, Calvert, st.
Mary's, Talbot and Hartford being
added.
There is a provision that in
Kent, Queen Anne's, Calvert, Caro-
line, Talbot, St. Mary's and Har-
ford counties it shall be unlawful
to use any rifle in the hunting of
deer. The addition of the five
counties is based upon petitions
or requests received by the COM
mission, it is stated.
Bow And Arrow Season
The regulation concerning the
hunting of deer by bow and arrow
in six counties would be rescinded
and in the substitute regulation,
Garrett, Kent, Worcester, Calvert
and Queen Anne's counties would
be added, making it legal for the
taking of deer, either sex, by use
of long bow and sharpened bow
head arrow.
The open season would be with
in the dates of October Is and No
vembcr IS, from sunrise to sunset,
EST.
Batting Regulation
Under the fourth regulation to
be discussed is the intent to make
it unlawful to hunt, shoot, or kill,
or attempt to hunt, shoot or kill
any migratory game birds from
any blind, shore, or any shooting
point within two hundred yards of
any nlaco whore salt or any feed

Seen Needed in Korea
BY the Associoted Press

c. Tyler Wood, American re-
construction director in South
Korea. said yesterday a Sub
stantial amount" of additional
aid money would be needed to
speed Korea's industrial and
agricultural comeback in 1854.
Mr.. Wood, who has co-ordin-
ated American relief activities
for the past four months, made
the comment as he returned here
for consultations. He was met
at the airport by Foreign Opera
tionS Administrator Stassen and
Raymond Meyer, Far East aid
director.
Mr.. Wood said initial funds
were being concentrated on re-
building Korea'S war-wrecked
transportation and power system.
THE needs of Korea are ter
rifle because of the war devasta-
tion," he said. Its difficult to
pick out one project which should
have priority over another"
Mr.. Wood said some $45 mil
lion of a 5000 million fund Con-
gress appropriated for Korean
aid already has been allocated.
The pace of such projects will
pick up now that initial planning
has been completed, he said.

while I can't speak for the
administration, I would guess
that a substantial amount of
money would be needed from this
