Specialist Has Been I Detailed to
Bring to This Country Enemy OF
Horticultural Pest.

The Japanese beetle is going to have
its old enemies on its trail in this
country. The United States depart
ment of agriculture has sent man to
Japan to find those enemies and send
them across the ocean. They VIII
then be established in the sections Of
New Jersey where the beetle has
gained a fOOthold, and they are ex-
pected to aid greatly in the control of
the pest.
The agent employed in Japan Is
familiar with japanese conditions anC'
is q specialist i'm this kind Of work. II
is expected that the task will require
his sojOurn i'm Japan for two or three
years. While something is known of
the parasites of the japanese beetle
a great deal is still 20 he learned only
under field conditions where the
beetle lives with all the enemies thaD
prey upon it. The beetle reached this
country with imrortationS of green
house plants. and thus far apparently
has been comparatively free from mo-
lestations by natural enemies.
