_— JAPANESE BEETLE HUNT IN PROGRESS U. 5. Sconts Examining Plants | {Mails or by common carriers. in New Britain Gardens Field scouts of the United States department of agriculture and State of Connecticut, plant quarantina | and control administration, began scouting operations for the Japan- ese beetle in New Britain this morn- ing a crew of a foreman and thres scouts each have been assigned by the Department of Agriculture to cover the area in and about this locality The Japanese beetle was discov- ered in this country in 1916 near Riverton, in the west-central section f New Jersey. It is believed to 1ave gained entry to the United States in the grub ctage in soil surrounding iris or azalea plants from Japan. In the intervening 14 Yyears since its discovery, the pest has spread until now isolated in- festations exist as far north as Springfield, Massachusetts: Provi- dence, Rhode Island; Hartford, Connecticut; ~ Binghamton, York; and Sayre, Pennsvivania: as far west as Williamsport, Lewis- town, and Chambersburg, Pennsyl- vania; and as far south as Norfork and Cape Charles, ~Virginia. The area regulated by the department of agricultu:: on account of the insect comprise 43,558 square miles. Must Visit Private Property In order to determine the extent of spread of the beetle, each sum- mer scouts are assigned to scout the areas of like infestation These men examine the preferred food plants of the heetle or other foliage on which the ‘adult beetle are likely to be found if present. To do this it is necessary to enter the vards of residences and other prem- ises in which plants may be found. The scouts are in uniform and are furnished with identification card which will be exhibited upon re- quest.

Detailed information concerning any phase of the Japanese beetle work may be obtained by addressing the Japane ese beetle qu ntine headquarters of the United States department of agriculture, 1500 Pierce avenue, Camden, New Jersey. Inquiries con- cerning other insect pests or plant d ses should be addressed to th= ate Agricultural Experiment tion at New Haven. The federal men have requested the cooperation of the residents of New Britain in facilitating their work as much as possible What Japanese Beetle Is The Japanese beetle is a member of the same group of insects the Colorado potato beetle, and re- sembles the latter somewhat in size. The adult Japanese beetle, however. is a beautiful and brig 1V colored insect. It is bright metal- lic green. except the greater part of the wing covers, which are cop- pery brown. Five white spots on either side of the abdomen and two white spots near the tip of the ab- domen of the insect furnish dis- tinct characteristics for the Japan- ese beetle's identification. Any spec- imens resembling this discription observed by local residents should be collected and given to the scouts or mailed to the Japanese headquarters at J. The adult beetle is feeder cau fotiage and fruit. Among it red host plants are apple. peach, elm linden, willo grape, rose, holly- hock, smartweed and sascafras. The grub, or overwintering stage of th beetle, causes considerable to lawns and sod land Area Quarantined In addition to trap control meas- ures and chemical treatments ap- plied at points of isolated infesta- tion, a strick federal and state quarantine on the movement of nursery and ornamentel stock, sand goil, earth, peat, compost and ma- nure from the infested areas is en- forced throughout the year.

IRY LAW ARRESTS INCREASED N 1930 Manufacture of Corn Sugar Held Menace to Law TWashington, July 10 (®—Prohi- bitipn enforcement during the last fiscal vear of its operation the treasury resulted in the arrest of 68,186 persons and seizure 24,373 stills, The arrests showed an increase approximately 2,000 over the 1929 fiscal year and of 'approxi- mately 7,000 in the number of stills seized. THe figures included the number of arrests and seizures for 11 months of the vear and esti- mated arrests and seizures for June. Prepared by Old Bureau These sfatistic§ were prepared by the old prohibition bureau which operated upder Prohibition Com- missioner Doran ,until the depart ment of justice took over prohibi- tion enforcement July 1 and showed that about 1,320,000 gallons of spirits and 8,000,000 gallons of malt liquor had been seized. In ad- dition agents of the bureau seized 8 automobiles. During the vear the majority of stills were captured in the southern states. About 50 per cent had a capacity of less than 100 gallons daily while five per cent had a ca- pacity of 500 gallons a day. Of the total the figures showed only about two per cent were found to be op- erating on dematured alcohol while the others used corn. corn meal, corn sugar. molasses and cane sugar to produce liquor. Get Many Stills Many stills captured in the south were of the old moonshine variety which were operating before there was a prohibition law. Corn sugar stills during the last cears have shown an increase. Dor- n recently faid this variety of il- licit distillers had turned to corn sugar and were producing as good a grade of alcohol as that turnel out in the industrial plants operat- ing under permits. pointed to the huge manufacture of corn susar of the outstanding menaces the bureau had to face. increase in which DRUNK ESCAPES JAIL Torrington, July 10.—(@—Fred C.
