tno mamaria RR Jap Beetles Infest Area Widespread Spraying Only Real Control Hordes of Japanese beetles have invaded the Back Mountain region descending on garden flowers and vegetables as well as farm crops. Roses, elms, cherry trees, grape- vines, weeds and farm crops have been attacked, forcing those who last year said, “It looks as though the Japanese beetle is licked” to reconsider. According to the New York Times, the beetle first made its appearance in the United States in 1916 at a nursery in Roverton, N. J. A small oval-shaped insect with reddish bronze wing covers was observed on iris plants brought in from Japan. The fol- lowing year this alien pest had entrenched itself in a surround- ing area of three square miles: the flight of the Japanese beetle (Pop- illia japonica) had begun. Winging its way as far north as Maine, south to North Carolina and west to Ohio, the Japanese beetle has now invaded 142,343 square miles. This does not cover spot infestations west of the Miss- issippi where beetles have turned up in freight yards, and airports as stowaways on. planes, trains and trucks. Although no region in. Pennsyl- vania is free of beetles, infestation is light in areas around Philadel- phia, Pittsburgh and in the north- ern part of the state. Beetles are a serious menace, however, in southern Pennsylvania, / particular- ly around ‘ Lancaster and Adams counties. Corn, clover and un- sprayed home orchards will suffer worst this year. So far DDT is considered the most effective control for adult beetles. It is applied at the rate of two pounds of 50 per cent wet- table powder to 100 gallons of water. Its twelve hours action is slow, requiring or more before it actually kills the beetles. While it is effective for several days in preventing a return infestation, it does not prevent beetles from do- ing damage, to newly opened buds, and leaves, and within a few days further hordes from unsprayed areas invade areas already sprayed. A complete DDT spraying pro- gram covering a large area and in which all citizens cooperate ap- pears to be the only method by which damage can be controlled. Applications of DDT also give good control of grubs and are faster acting. It is applied 25 pounds to the acre or 10 ounces per 1,000 square feet and is quick- er than the milky disease spore dust for treatment of grubs in turf.

Councilor’s Farmers May Buy For lc Per Hundre Potatoes d Pounds Farmers in drought areas of Pennsylvania can secure small size potatoes to mix with low grade hay or straw for filling of silos this year according to Charles H. Bronstein, Chief of the Price Sup- port section of the Pennsylvania Production and Marketing office. The potato harvest has advanced to the point that small sizes are accumulating and will be made available for livestock feeding un- der the Price Support program. Only small sized potatoes are available for livestock feed, since U. S. No. 1's are not being ac- cepted under the Price Support program. Due to drought condi- tions the average of marketable potatoes is much lower than in previous years and the government is accepting a larger percentage of price support. In previous years potato flour and potato alcohol was a source of disposal, but these outlets are no longer available to the Production and Marketing Ad- ministration. \ Farmers who are interested in securing potatoes for livestock feed may get them through Agricultural Conservation Committees in all counties of the State at 30 cents per hundred pounds in bags, or 15 cents in bulk delivered to the local siding. If farmers wish to supply transportation from the farm they may secure these pota- toes at 15 cents per hundred pounds in bags, or 1 cent per hundred pounds in bulk. Instrue- tions for making potato ensilage may be secured from the county agents or from the county Agri- cultural Conservation offices in all parts of the State.
