SEEKS FOE OF JAP BEETLE
Specialist Has Been Detailed to
Bring to This Country Enemy Of
Horticultural Pest.

The Japanese beetle is going to nave
its old enemies on its trail In this
country. The United States depart
ment of agriculture has sen a man to
Japan to find those enemies and END
them across The ocean. They will
then be established in the sections OF
New Jersey where the beetle has
gained a foothoId. and they are ex-
pected to aid greatly In the control OF
the pest.
The agent employed IN Japan fs
familiar with japanese conditions and
is a specialist in this kind of work. II
is expected that the task will require
his S%ojourn in Japan for two or three
years. While something is known Of
the parasites Of the Japanese beetle
a great deal is still to be learned only
under field conditions where the
beetle lives with all the enemies that
prey upon it. The beetle reached this
country with importations OF green
house plants. and thus far apparently
has been comparatively free from mo.
les%tations by natural enemies.

that for last year the time lost due
