 DEFOLIATES TREES
State and Federal Officials Join in Combating Pest
Associated Press Photo

Washington, Aug. 13 FD - A war against the Japanese beetle over an area approximately the size of the state of Pennsylvania - gradually invaded by the pest since it's estab- lishmcnt here l6 years ago - is be- ing waged by the federal and state governments.
 The generally and lightly infested areas were said today hy Lee A. Strong. chief of plant quarantine and control administration, to aggregate 43SS8 square miles.
 The beetle, described as 'one of the major insect pests existing in the United States today" is found over the entire state of New Jersey, large sections of Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania. Connecticut, the Dis trict of Columbia, and~ small areas in Virginia, New York, Massa7 chusetts and Rhode Island.
 A voracious feeder in the adult stage. the beetle numbers among it's preferred hosts the apple, peach, cherry, linden, elm, willow, grape, rose. hollyhock, smartweed. and sassafras plants.
 Orchards Defoliated
 Tn the area of heaviest feeding this year." Strong said, shrubs, shade trees and virtually entire or chards have been completely defoli- ated, Losses to farmers in these areas have been considerable"
 Quarantine restrictions have been established, land treated and traps placed in operation by the thousands. Year round inspection and ccrllii- cation of nursery and greenhouse products and soil destined 10 points outside infested zones also have been required as measures against the pest.
 Origin in New Jersey
 The beetle was established, Strong said, at Riverton, New Jersey prop- ably through accidental introduction in the grub stage in soil a<out the roots of Japanese iris or Azaloas i'm ported from Japan prior to 1916. The natural flight of the insect from ten to fifteen miles annually has ac- counted for much of it's distribution.
 Road inspection posts have been located at the border Of tho restrict cd zone on 4S Of the principal high ways leading from the area, and 5H centers for the inspection of farm products are scattered at strategic points throughout the infested zones.

He reads more trash because
there is more trash published, but

His hero is Lindbergh because
Lindbergh embodies the same ad-

He is cleaner minded because he

instead Of picking them up "in the

He wants a white -collared job,
thinks college education is a right
rather than a privilege and doesn t
care much about being a policeman
or farmer.
Better Dresser
He shows more sincere respect tor

He dresses bettcr-has two suits
Of clothes to one in 1910. He shines
his shoes more often, and keeps his
hair brushed.
He isn't 50 inclined TO run away
