WEED BULLETIN
TO AID FARMERS
ISSUED BY STATE
Harrisburg—Weeds cause an econ- |
omic loss of $24,000,000 per year in
Pennsylvania or $2 per tillable acre,
according to estimates by Dr. E. 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-

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.”

NEW GOVERNOR WIELDS
“AXE” ON PAT NAIRN
AND ABOLISHES JOB
Harrisburg—Governor Arthur H.
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.

PROPOSES TO BAN
SOCIAL DISEASES
Harrisburg — Precautionary meas-
ures aimed at preventing the spread of
dread syphilis in Pennsylvania were
contained in two bills introduced into
the State Senate last Friday by Sen-
ator C. 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.
