who happens to be Catholic,
or because he is a Catholic who
happens to be a prominent pub
lie figure. Rather, he is being
honored as Catholic whose
distinguished career as prom
inent public figure has been
notably influenced by his re-
ligious faith - a man who has
consistently worked at being a
good labor leader because he is
a good Catholic.
A Symbol
Mr.. Meany is not "profeS-
Sional" Catholic. He is proud of
his religion, but he would be
deeply embarrassed if he were
to be singled out as being a bet
ter Catholic than the next man.
In other words, he would want
us to say that the Laetare Med
al is not being presented to
him as an individual but rather
as representative of all the
other Catholics in the labor
movement who are modestly
trying, according TO their
lights, to apply the teachings of
religion in the field of labor
management relat ons. Un-
doubtedly he would also want
to share the honor of the Lac
tare Medal with his non-Cath-
Ollie associates in the labor
movement who are trying to do
the same thing according to
their own lights.
In brief, Mr.. Meany would
want his selection as this years
Laetare Medalist TO be regard
ed not as a personal tribute,
but as a symbol of the fact that
the American labor movement
lin spite of all its faults and
imperfections - is based on
ethical principles and dedieat-
ed to the cause of human bro
therhood under the Fatherhood
of God.
An inspiration
And, finally. he would pray
erfully hope, | am sure, that
the honor conferred upon him
as a representative of American
labor will serve to inspire the
labor movement from top 10
bottom to be even more faith

Water Conservation
Practices Boosted

Maryland farmers cooperating
with their Soil Conservation dis
tricts responded to the dry 1854
growing season by breaking rec
ords for establishing practices to
conserve and use water more eff
ficiently.
John w. Barnard, soil conserva-
ZIONIST with the us. Soil Con-
servation Service office at Col
lege Park, says Maryland farmers
constructed more than 400 ponds
last year in cooperation with local
districts. This was an all-time
high and a third increase over
1858.
Alltime records were also es-
tablished for new farm drainage
projects, sprinkler irrigation sys-
TENS and total acreage irrigated,
and fish pond improvement.
There were a greater number
of all grassland practices applied
in 1854 than in 1858. "The short
age of hay and pasture due to
drought apparently accounts for
this effort to make better use of
grassland Barnard says.
The report summarizing 1854
activities shows there were 1855
new cooperators with Soil Con
servation districts last year. This
raises the total number af active
cooperators to 14,115, and in
cludes about 40 percent of the
State5s farms and so percent of
the farm land.
About 10 soil and water con-
Servation practices are carried
out by farmers as part of their
conservation farm plans with
Soil Conservation districts. Eight
major practices were more ex-
tensively applied in 1854 than in
1858.
Barnard says soil conservation
surveys have now been made for
about three-fourths of Maryland S
farm land, or a total of 4,718,199
acres. Soil survey, maps show
such features as kind of soil,
slope of land and troSion that has
taken place. These maps help
farmers determine the needs of
their land for soil and water con-
servation measures.

New seedlings of alfalfa are es-
pecially vulnerable to chickWeed
infestation." according to Paul w.
Santelmann, University of Mary
land Extension weed control spe-
cialist. He says some old stands
are also seriously infested, but in
most cases the older stands will
outgrow chickWeed unless they
have been weakened by disease or
lack of nutrients.
eff it looks like chickweed is
getting the upper hand" he says,
"go to the aid of the alfalfa with
a chemical weed killer. The best
time to kill chickWeed is early in
the fall, just after frost. But if
the fall application was missed, a
treatment in the late winter or
early spring helps"
The weed control specialist
cautions farmers on two i'm
pOrtant points regarding chick
weed control i'm alfalfa: % 1t
is not advisable to spray after
March Is, and (2) never spray
alfalfa with 2, Ala.
Two types of weed killers are
recommended, the choice be-
tween them depends on wheth-
er a desirable grass is growing
in the alfalfa.
In alfalfa fields where a de-
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1955-02-17

sirable grass is growing the
recommended treatment is l to
~ pounds per acre of the acid
equivalent of DNOSBP { 4, 6
dinitroortho secbutyl phenoD.
This amount may be made by
using 1/3 to p gallon of SinoX
Pc or Dow Premerge. Retreat
ment may be necessary after to
6 weeks if all the chickweed has
not been killed.
In pure stands of alfalfa, where
there is no desirable grass grow
ing, 3-chloro IPC (CIPC) usually
gives the best results. This ma
terial should be used at the rate
of + to 2 pounds of the active in
gredient per acre. Retreatment
will not be necessary, but the
chemical acts very slowly, taking
6 to 8 weeks.
Concentrations of the mater
ials used in these two formula
tons may vary so check the lab
els carefully and be sure applica-
tons are made at the recommend
ed rates." Santelmann advises.
Both the chickWeek killers
should be used in 20 to 80 gallons
of water per acre at 80 to 40
pounds of pressure.

the control of chickWeed in alfal-
ia is given in University of Mary

positions are those for which the
csc has not held examinations
and which the agencies may re-
cruit directly, providing the ap-
plicant meets minimum stand
ards.
Failure Reasons Listed.
Republican officials give sew
eral reasons why the White
House patronage program has
fallen fiat on its face.
1. Few Republican agency
heads are paying much attention
to the program.
2. The program is Of a volun-
tary nature and Government
appointment officials do not
have to appoint Republican
sponsored candidates.
3 Applicants for the GS-14
and above civil service jobs must
have civil service status and
consequently most Republican
applicants cannot qualify.
4. The 1903" jobs, which COM
prised more than $4,000 Of the
10000 positions referred to the
Republican National Committee
under the Willis program, are
generally so specialized or SO
low-paying that few people are
interested.
S. President Eisenhower's re-
cent executive order setting up
the Governments new career
conditional appointment system
specifically prohibits political
considerations in the filling of
civil service jobs. This has en-
couraged Government personnel
officials against hiring Republi-
can-referred applicants" a Re-
publican National Committee
official commented. 1.-THE per-
sonnel officials never have been
in sympathy with our effort to
place Republicans in Govern
ment jobs and the Presidents

executive order gave them cour-
age to defy u.s." the committee
oficial said.
Only IL In This Area.
Also, the presidential execu-
tive order provides for more
examinations to cut the num-
ber Of 1908" jobs, thus cutting
down the potential supply Of
patronage jobs.
Out of the 274 jobs the Re-
publicans were able to I'LL under
the willis program, only IL
were IN the Washington area.
Another example of the pro-
grams failure is the fact that.
out Of more than 5000 Of the
1903" job vacancies in the Army
Department, only one was filled
through the referral system.
Highest Score in FOA.
OF all the agencies, the For
eign Operations Administration
chalked up the best score-as
far as the Republican National
Committee is concerned - on
the Willis program. Seventy
nine of the 274 Republican,
sponsored applicants who OBJ
tanned Federal jobs found a
haven with the FOA. Political
patronage in the defense agen-
cies was virtually nil, with the
Air Force hiring three Republic
cans and nothing listed for the
Navy. Agriculture placed 81.
and Commerce, a.. Three Re-
publicans found jobs at the
State Department and three at
Interior. The Labor Department
didn't hire any Republicans re-
ferred to it by Mr.. Willis and
the Republican National Com
mittee. The Veterans Admins
tration, which had 1893 vacan-
cieS, nired 13 Republicans.
Only 10000 Jobs for COP.
After two years in Office, the
Republican National Committee
reports that the G. o. P. has
filled only a total of 10000 of
the 2.3 million Federal jobs with
deserving Republicans" These
10000 jobs include all Presiden-
tial appointive jobs, postmaster
ships, United States Attorneys
and related jobs, as well as the
non-civil service schedule A and
B jobs and the new political
Schedule C created by Presiden-
tial Eisenhower.
