Japanese Beetle Traps
Available

Japanese beetle traps will be avail
able to farmers in all sections of Cecil
county this year. In the trapping de-
mOnstratiOn just north of Elkton
last year, it was found that traps
we're effective in catching large
quantities of beetles. Over five
hundred barrels of beetles were
caught. A number of diggings have
been made and the number OF
grubbs per square foot counted, and
it is indicated that there will be
heavy infestation in all sections
of the county.
Traps will be made available in
ell sections of The county to fari1-
ers at small rental cost. Sufficient
funds were not available to- pur-
chase all of the traps needed
therefore, it has been found neces-
sary to make a small rental charge
in order to secure enough traps, to-
supply trainers in all sections of the
county.
Present plans contemplate a two
year program, SO That farmers VINO
secure traps this year may have the
use of them for at least two years,
and it is quite possible that plans
will be worked out to leave the traps
on the farm longer than two years.
Farmers who wish to secure traps
are urged to write or call at the
County Agents Office at their earli-
est convenience. 1t is expected that
beetles will begin emerging about
the middle of June.
