MARYLAND FARMERS WARNED

Maryland may be dong battle

The enemy insect, however, is one
that cannot be fought, except by
quarantine measures, until it act
ually arrives. Those who have
made a study Of its activities said
there is no need for alarm in this
State now, nor is there anything
that can be done until the pests
made a definite ASSAULT uron Mary
land property.
In the meantime, the entomo-
logists said, Maryland far m r S
should be acquainting themselves
with the use of various sprays and
ether means of combating the
beetles when they make their ap-
pearance. Their arrival, it is point
ed out, is considered inevitable in
the natural spread of the pests from
their point of origin.
The ban now laid down in Penn

prohibits interstate movement OF any
farm products from freight yards

area. irrespective or origin, to points
outside during periods when large
numbers OF beetles are on the wing
