With the idea of keeping the East

eral quarantine area for japanese
beetle, officials of the State Horticul-
tural Board and the Maryland Exten-
ton Service are planning to spray the
infested area about Chesapeake City
in order to kill the pests as they hy-
bernate in the soil. Lower Delaware
NAV take similar action too, if it is
found necessary. Due to the fact
that beetle were found during the past
summer at Chesapeake City and four
other towns in Maryland, the state IS
facing the danger of being included
in the federal Japanese beetle quaran-
fine by the Federal Horticultural
Board during the coming year. The
inclusion of the Eastern Shore in such
q quarantine would add to the diff
culties of shipping Maryland farm
products and would also remove all
protection from the more heavily IN
tested districts around. Steps now
