Westward Trek
For Jap Beetles
There may be fewer Japanese
beetles to plague farmers and gar-
deners in southeastern Pennsylvania
this summer; according to the State
Department of Agriculture.
Experienced (collectors of tiphia
wasps—tiny parasites that destroy
Jap beetle grubs—after spending
two days in an effort to gather an
anticipated 2,000 female wasps,
found only 75.
Dr. Thomas L. Guyton, director
of the [State Bureau of Plant In-
dustry, said a thorough search was
made on the wasp breeding grounds
at the Department's experimental
farm near Harrisburg More than
2,000 were collected there last year.
The small number found this year
indicates a lack of beetle grubs
and that the band of heaviest beetle
infestation thas moved westward,
he declared. The parasites follow
migrating beetles.
Field men are now investigating
possibilities for collecting para-
sites in colonies established some
years ago at Ligonier and other
western Pennsyvania spots. The
75 female wasps already collected
have been set free in the vicinity
of the airport at Altoona where
an extra heavy infestation of the
destructive plant pests exists, Dr.
Guyton said. . S
Following the mating season the
female wasp burrows ‘into the
ground seeking Jap beetle grubs on
which to deposit a single egg. The
wasp grub that develops then de-
vours the beetle grub, the State
entomologist explained. Each wasp
will place one egg on as many as
25 to 50 different beetle prubs.
Relatively few beetles should be
found in southeastern Pennsylvania
this year except in Franklin county
and in parts or Lebanon county,
he added. Colonies of parasites
were established in both areas
within the past several years and
soon should be of sufficient size to

Make Better Hay
wu» JOHN DEERE
Fal]
LE
You'll make the most from
your hay crop . . . harvest it
cured for the mow or green for
silage, with less work and at
lower cost with a John Deere
Forage Harvester.
With the John Deere you can
adjust the length of cut from an
easy-to-fork 3-1/2 inches for field-
cured hay to a compact-packing
1/2-inch for windrowed green
silage crops. What's more, you
harvest your crop in an easy,
speedy trip through the field to
hold muscle-work and costs to
rock-bottom.
Chopping hay stretches your
crop by making all of it palatable.
Converting it to grass silage not
only makes a nutritious, econom-
ical ration for your livestock, but
enables you to save your hay
crop when bad weather threat-
ens.
And, the John Deere can be
quickly converted for harvesting
row crops. See us for details.
