Agent Asks Help With
japanese Beetle Control

o. w. Anderson, County Agent,
reveals plans for Japanese Beetle
Control similar to those used last
year. He states that all features
Of last years program will be con-
tinued including the liberation of
insect pests which prey on Jap
anese Beetle Grubs before they
emerge from the soil; the leasing
OF traps at the same points: name
ly County Buildings in Bethesda
and Silver Spring, and the County
Agents Office, Rockville; the
spraying of all preferred food
foliage adjacent to streets and
reads; the distribution of Milky
White Spore Dust in areas which
have not been treated Nin the past.
Those features mentioned above
are included in the public control
program, and in addition, plans
have been made for the control of
beetles on farms at the farmers
expense through the use of Farm
Bureau Spray equipment and pri-
vately owned airplanes.
Indications are for a somewhat
lighter infestation in the lower
section of the county due to the
thoroughness with which Milky
White Spore Dust has been used
in past years. There are, however,
areas, mostly in new subdivisions,
where sod has been transported
from infested farm areas, which
will need treating this summer
The prospects of infestation in the
agricultural area are about the
same as last year.
Regardless of whether the situa-
ton seems serious or not, Mr.
Anderson warns that all property
owners should be prepared to help
with control measures. For the
small home owner, spray con-
tanning 4 tablespoons of 500 Wet,
table DOT Powder to 8 gallons OF
water should give excellent results
