While both State and Federal quar-
antines are in force in the heavily
infested areas of New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, the beetle has steadily
been extending it's territory since it
was first discovered in 1916, says Mr..
Cory. The spread has been due chief
ly to the rapid propagation of the in
sect, he says, but the chief danger of
its Introduction into new territory
lies in the possibilities of its being
carried by automobiles from the in
tested areas. 1t is difficult to see how
Maryland can escape the invasion
even though the Federal, Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey officials are
doing all they can to keep the pest
