To Wage War On
Japanese Beetle
Large Area Of County Map.
ped---9000 Traps Will
Be Distributed

| A 40 square mile proving
grounds" for the University of Mary
HAND extension services latest beetle
trap which will be established Just
north of Elkton will serve the state
and nearby areas as demonstra-
ton field and represent the largest
project of it's kind in the nation.
According to County Agent j. q.
Miller 5000 gallon size traps with
many new features, together with
bait, will be distributed free to
farmers and garden owners in the
demonstration area upon condition
that they are placed properly, main
tanned, and returned at the end of
the season.
The traps will be ready for dis
tribution next month and should be
ready for operation by June 10.
The tentative boundries of the
demonstration area are as follows:
Elkton to Childs, turning north up
Elk Creek to the Andora-Pleasant
Hill Road, thence east through An
dora and Cowentown to the Della
ware line, thence south along the
Railroad to Elkton.
In order to make a thorough job
of the trapping, it is necessary that
at least one trap per acre be used.
For a 50-acre farm, SO traps will be
furnished, to- be placed around
hedgerows, permanent pastures and
other locations where they will catch
the most beetles.
1t is the purpose of the state Off
Gals to demonstrate just what can
be done in the way of reducing the
pests by a concentrated job of trap
ping.
There has never been such large
scale trapping demonstration of it's
kind attempted in the United
States, Mr.. Miller asserts. All per-
sons cooperating will be notified by
letter of the dates on which the
traps may be obtained and where
they will be distributed.
Residents in the area outlined,
who have not been approached by a
representative from the University
Of Maryland, are asked to cooper
ate and write or call at the county
agents office Elkton, at once.
Cecil County was one of the worst
infested areas in the East last year
and also in 1886.
