Beetles Hit Pa.
lIAItitISHUItG The State
Agi iculture Department has an
nounced discovery of cereal
leaf beetles at three sites in
Lawrence County near the
Ohio-Pennsylvania line.
It is the first evidence of
this insect’s presence in Penn
sylvania, according to Henry

partment’s Bureau of Plant In
dustry.
The cereal leaf beetle at
tacks small grains and grasses
with a strong preference for
oats It was found in Michigan
f 1
in 1962 and since then has
spread rapidly through that
state and Indiana and Ohio.
The Initial discovery in Penn
sylvania was made on a farm
near Pulaski, Lawrence County,
a few miles east of the Ohio
line, Nixon said, it was identi
fied by the Agricultural Re
search Service of the U.S, De
partment of Agriculture.
Insects also were found at
another site near Pulaski, and
about ten miles to the south,
near Bessemer.
Federal-state detection sur
veys—under way in 13 western
Pennsylvania counties this year
—are being intensified in Law
rence County. Nixon said
