JAPANESE BEETLES HERE
Flower and Vegetable Gardens in
Smyrna Are Hit

The annual invasion of Japanese
beetles was launched with blitz-
like fury in Delaware during the
past few days. Brought rapidly to
by hot weather, thou
sands of the iridescent pests
swarmed over flower and vegetable
gardens in Smyrna and other COM
at the beginning of this
week. In some areas the first
swarms descended on Sunday, and
by yesterday the attack was on in
full force. In Milford, for example
the annual Japanese beetle invas-
ion was described as a heavy
swarm with "all coming at once
like bees" Gardeners battled to
remove the winged pests as quick
ly as possible from flowers and
vegetables. One of the most pop
ular weapons of counter-attaek
was simple can or jar of kerosene,
into which the insects were drop
ped for determination.

block being assigned one week to
visit the lanes. In addition to
having the vehicle inspected, the
owner can also procure renewal
of the registration at the time the
inspection is approved. The blocks
of numbers and the weeks assign
ed to them are as follows: July 7th
to 18th, 1 to 10000; July 14th to
