Japanese Beetle In
vasion Begins
Pests Expected To Be More
Numerous This Years.
Control Program

Maryland's annual invasion OF
Japanese beetles has begun.
Thousands of the stubby green
and-brown insects, vanguard OF
mighty horde of millions which Will
denude thousands of trees and
shrubs of their foliage, have appear
ed
Dr. Ernest N. Cory, State entomo-
logist, said the only place upon
which he has specific report is
Perry Point, in Cecil county, but he
presumed the beetles were making
their appearance at other points as
well, especially as they are more
than a week late.
Perry Point, where there was
heavy infestation last year, Is in the
main beetle area of the State, which
includes Cecil county and nearby
parts of Kent and Hartford counties.
Areas which are seriously infested,
but not yet to the same extent as
Cecil county, include parts of Balti-
more county; Baltimore City; SOM
erset county around Princess Anne;
Worchester county near Pocomoke,
and the suburban fringe of Mont
gomery and Prince Georges coun-
ties, bordering on the District OF
Columbia.
DR.. Cory said all these areas
could EXPECT an increase in the num-
Der of Japanese beetles this year.
However, no part of the State can
hope to be completely free OF the
pests, except Garrett county and
possibly the extreme tip of Southern
Maryland.
The beetle invasion will be worse
than last year, but the control pro-
gram has been stepped up. DR.. Cory
announced the Department of Ento-
mology has 10000 traps out; 5O,-
900 more than last year when 104
tons OF beetles were captured and
destroyed. This years traps will be
yellow instead of green and white.
since tests conducted at the Univer-
sity of Maryland indicated yellow
would attract about fifty per cent
more beetles.
A more sensational control tech-
nique being used this year is that In
which hundreds of thousands of
beetles grubs are infected with milky
white-a disease that kills them in
fourteen days-and then ground up
into powder and spread out on land
infested with live beetles.
This control is being tried out over
an area of 1000 square miles, DR..
Cory said. The diseased grub REM
nants are spread over three one-acre
plots on each square mile of the test
area.
at is just one more attempt to af-
feet the biological complex and
right the balance of nature" DR..
Cory explained.
The Japanese beetle does not eat
everything, but about ESQ varieties
of trees, shrubs and plants are
known to appeal to it's taste. Ac-
cording to University of Maryland
bulletins, plants subject to attack
can be protected by heavy spraying
with any one of several chemical
preparations.
In normal years, the beetles begin
emerging from the ground about
June 10 and reach their peak in
early July. After mid-July the adult
beetles die, but their eggs hatch out
in the ground to produce new crop
Of grubs. These grubs emerge as
