M. Gress, state botanist, in a bulletin | “Pennsylvania Weeds, Their Control | and Eradication,” issued last week by | the Pennsylvania Department of Agri- | culture. Copies of the bulletin may be ob- tained without cost by writing for General Bulletin No. 558 to the Office of Information, Pennsylvania Depart- ment of Agriculture, Harrisburg, Pa. The bulletin describes 17 of the more common weeds growing in Penn- sylvania and gives the instructions for their control and eradication. It also contains general control in- formation, information on herbicides, the state seed law and other informa- tion. Included in the chapter on “Chem- icals in Weed Control” is the follow- ing: “Chemicals (herbicides) have been used in weed control for many years. Perhaps more progress has been made in their use during the last 25 years than in any previous period of equal length. “There are so many controlling fac- tors involved in the use of herbicides that their effectiveness is not always assured. Among these factors are wea- BOY SCOUT WEE FEBRUARY 8-14. ther conditions. If a herbicide controls weeds by contact with the surface of the leaves, rain immediately following the application may wash the chemical off before it has had time to injure the plant. On the other hand, if the weath- er is too dry, the chemical may cry- stalize on the leaf and fall off before the weed has been injured. “The nature of the plant and soil conditions are other factors controll- ing the use of herbicides. The soil is often rendered unfit for the growth of a crop for too long a period, thus making the use of herbicides imprac- tical. Sometimes desirable plants are injured. In general, the use of chem- icals is more expensive than cultiva- tion methods. On the other hand, there are places where cultivation methods cannot be used. Along highways and railroads, in’ tennis courts and other places herbicides are most practical and economical. Among the chemicals in use as her- bicides are: The chlorates—soddium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium; sodium arsenite, iron sulphate (cop- peras or green vitriol), copper sul- phate (bluevitriol), zinc sulphate, am- onium thiocyanate, carbon bisulfide, sodium chloride (common salt), ethy- lene oxide, gasoline, kerosine and other oils.” Notice.

James last Thursday made his first re- duction in the state payroll—he abol- ished the position of deputy secretary of mines in charge of bituminous coal. James announced that Deputy Sec- retary of Mines Patrick F. Nairn of Pittsburgh had been dismissed and that the position would not be refilled. He said the position involved an an- nual expense to the commonwealth of about $15,000. “Pat” Nairn, who finds himself out of a $6,000 job two days after Gover- nor James took office, is a former Johnstowner and widely known am- ong mining men in Western Pennsy- lvania. While a resident of Johnstown ap- proximately 15 years ago Nairn passed the examination for state mine inspec- tor, a position to which he was ap- pointed July 1, 1926. He was in charge of the Seventh Bituminous District, Allegheny County, until August, 1933, when he was transferred to the Fif- teenth District (no(rthern Cambria Co- unty), with headquarters and residen- ce in Carrolltown. Soon after George H. Earle became Governor, Nairn was promoted from $4,800 mine inspectorship to the posi- tion of deputy secretary of mines in charge of bituminous fields. Although Nairn’s headquarters during the last four years were at Pittsburgh, he maintained his residence at Carroll- town. Announcement of Governor James’ decision to abolish the office of deputy secretary of mines came within a few days after his appointment of another former Johnstowner—John Ira Thom- as—to his cabinet as secretary of mines. Under department of mining regula- tions, state mine inspectors are not re- quired to present further qualifica- tions after serving two four-year terms in order to continue in office. Announ- cement of James’ decision to abolish the office of deputy secretary of mines for the bituminous area made no men- tion as to whether Nairn’s status in the department would make him eli- gible to return to a mine inspector- ship.

G. Wolfenden, Indiana Repub- lican. Wolfenden’s bills were designed to afford Pennsylvania the same type of protection afforded by law in New York, New Jersey and other states. Physicians and midwives would be required to take blood samples from prospective mothers, under the first bill, submit them to state-approved laboratory for a standard syphilis test and record on birth cerificates the times and result of the tests. The laboratories, upon request, would per- form the servise gratis. Under the second measure, marriage license applicants would be required to submit a physician's statement de- noting blood tests within 30 days of application showing freedom from the disease or any communicable stage. In this case, too, a laboratory certi- ficate attesting to performance of a blood examination would be attached to the physician's statement.
