FARMERS AND HOME OWNERS
WARNED OF JAPANESE
BEETLE

Immediate steps to control jap
anese beetles in the areas of Mary
land infested by the pest are advised
by DR.. George S. Langford, Specialist
in insect control for the University
of Maryland Extension Service. De-
layed control is not effective, he
states, and when the beetles have
covered a plant, it is almost impos-
sible to protect it. Plants should be
covered with spray, he says, and kept
covered.
Outbreaks may be expected at Elk
ton, Colgate, and Cambridge, accord
ing to DR.. Langford. Last year the
beetles were sufficiently numerous
at these points to defoliate flowers,
ornamentals, fruit trees, and grape
vines. They reach their greatest
numbers about July 20.
The beetle is we'll established also,
DR.. Langford states, in Baltimore
City, Hagerstown. Brunswick, Aber-
deem, Chesapeake City, and Delmar.
Serious damage is not expected at
these points, although minor injury
may occur. There are number of
other isolated infestations through
out the State, but there are not
enough beetles at these points to
cause trouble this year.
The insect feeds on more than 200
plants and is destroyer of fruit and
foliage. Apple, peach, grape and
cherry, as we'll as many vegetables
and ornamental shrubs and trees,
particularly elms, linden, horse
chestnut, and some oaks, are greedily
devoured.
Control of Japanese beetle is diff
cult, Dr. Langford says. because of
the wide range of plants upon which
it feeds. AS simple control prac-
tees, he recommends spraying, in
conjunction with trapping, Earring,
soil treatment, and carefully selected
planting plans.
Sprays of hydrated lime, l pound
in 8 gallons of water, will protect
grapes, small fruits and the foliage
of tree fruits. Ornamental shrubs
and shade trees may be protected by
spraying with common arsenate Of
lead, 3 pounds and wheat -four, 2
pounds in SO gallons of water.
Pyrethrum soap sprays are effective
for killing beetles on flowers and
tender foliage.
A lawn may be made immune to
injury for a period of five years by
treating with arsenate of lead, Is
pounds to 1000 SO. it. of lawn.
Traps are efficient for catching
large numbers of beetles. Earring
of heavily infested trees and shrubs,
early in the morning, over sheets
spread on the ground, is also an ex-
cellent way to kill large numbers.
The most effective way to control
the beetle is to avoid it's damages by
selecting and planting those plants
that are not attacked. While this is
not always practical or profitable, 1t
deserves careful attention.
