Bets Go Right

were betting that the Jap bee
tie would emerge from garden
soil in the County on June 20.
Germantown folks who have
been watching beetles for
years are wagering on June Is.
Both agree that the beetle will
be in full glory in July, should
be fewer than last year.

agent, reported that beetle
bait will be available in his Of
