Tour Of Beetle Infest-
ed Area Planned
To Show Latest Methods Of
Control And Damage
Done BY Pest

The University of Maryland will
offer another "object lesson" in
Japanese beetle devastation July Is,
in the form of a tour of Cecil coun-
tvs worst infested areas.
University scientists and county
agents of the extension service,
under direction of DR.. Ernest N.
Cory, State entomologist, will have
charge of the tour which will show
the latest beetle-control methods,
results of experimental work and
damage done by the pests.
Last year, more than 200 persons,
including many State officials, prom
inent farmers, members of the Legis-
lature and County Commissioners
made similar tour.
Great piles of beetles killed by
sprays and traps were burned by
farmers while the university's guest
watched.
This year, DR.. Cory warned, the
beetle problem faces city as well as
country residents, and each year
hordes of the destroyers have moved
farther south in the State.
Cecil county for several years has
borne the brunt of the annual in
vasion, scientists said, and this Sec
ton has proved to be the most suit
able for the annual inspection tours.
1t also is center of experimental
control work.
