CCORfinHed from First Pagel
adults and the larvae made during
the past several years indicates that
the species is decreasing in the old
er infested areas and is increasing
in the more recently invaded terri
tory. It is believed that these newly
infested regions will soon reach
their peak of infestatiOn and then
the beetle will be on the decline.
In discussing the future spread OF
the Japanese Beetle, Mr.. Smith,
states that studies of the biology,
physiology and habits of the insect
indicates that there are number OF
factors that will tend to retard its
invasion of new territory. Mr.. Smith
is convinced that the short growing
season of New England, the summer
droughts of the Middle West and the
relatively mild winters with little
snow fall in the south may tend to
check the extremely rapid multiple
cation of the beetle.
Very satisfactory results are be-
ing secured in controlling the beetle
on truck crops and most fruits even
in the heavily infested regions, de-
cIared Mr.. Smith. At the present
time the fruit growers in those
areas where the beetle infestation
has been the heaviest, they are sue
cessfully protecting their crops by
methods that have been recently de-
veloped. In spite of the pleasing re-
suits secured there remains much to
be accomplished in the dev1s1ng OF
better methods of protecting early
ripening varieties of peaches, small
fruits, corn and plants in flower.
The present methods of control for
the larvae are satisfactory and if
properly applied will entirely pre-
vent turf injury. The application OF
arsenate of lead to the soil has
proven one of the most satisfactory
means of protecting lawns and turf
and has resulted in killing the beetle
in the larvae stage in large num-
bers.
The natural factors of control, in
cluding the parasite appear to be
reducing the density of infestation
in the areas longest occupied by the
beetle and it appears that in the
future the effectiveness Of these ell
ements of control will be even
greater than it is now.

CHEVROLET CAR STOLEN
80 LAST SATURDAY NIGHT

On Saturday evening of last week
the car of ]. D. Mills, farmer OF
Cedar Neck, was stolen at 1O:4S o.
clock, from its parking place on
Water street, directly under the
light of G. P. Carey's CheVroleC
sign.
A neighbor of Mr.. Mills was stand
ing near and saw negro OF medl-
um height wearing a dark brown
suit and soft hat, get in the car
and drive away. Supposing the man
to be a farm laborer who mad pos
sibly been sent on an errand for MT:
Mills, the neighbor did not think OF
the matter until the next morning
when the news of the theft reached
him. The drive away was exactly
1O:45 O'Clock and Is minutes later
the car was missed.
Telephones soon got busy for
road cops to look out for the thlet'
hut as vet no tidings of car or drlV-
er have reached the owner.
It is now believed the negro must
have changed tags Immediately
having planned we'll for getaway
and his GOODNESS in the face OF SO
great a risk proclaims him a pro
fessional thief, as there were at
least ten men in G. P. Carey's Office
at the time. 20
However the excellent records Oh
DeIaware's highway officers snow
that stolen cars are sure to be Iounu
SO thorough have they been IN tnelr II
efforts of the past, and it IS almost
caFfainty the car will be found.
