JAPANESE BEETLE( Popillia japonica Newm.) 
General. E. G. Brewer (August): Active flight of the beetle under way in 
most of the heavily infested sections by July h. Swarming reduced 
late in July by heavy rains. Considerable reduction in the population 
at Richmond, 7a. , by the end of July, as well as in the District of 
Columbia, where only the eastern section remains heavily infested. A 
heavier infestation than in previous seasons reported around the rail- 
road yards at Alexandria, Va. Beetle flight in Baltimore, Md. , the 
heaviest in recent years. Beetles captured in nearly all traps set 
at College Park, Md. , possibly indicating that infestations in District 
of Columbia and at Laurel, Md. , have merged at College Park. Beetles 
numerous around Chester, Pa., coinciding with heavy flight noted be- 
tween Wilmington and Dover, Del., but fewer beetles noted in Phila- 
delphia than were observed last year. Heavy infestations were noted, 
however, in West Grove, Avondale, Kennett Square, Radnor, Hatboro, 
Newton, Willow Grove, Aabler, and Doylestown, Fa. Heaviest infestation 
ever observed at West Grove, Pa. At the peak of infestation at 
Norwood, Pa., from July 15 to 17, clusters of 75 or more beetles on 
rose blooms wore quite common. Complete defoliation noted on cherry, 
elder, sassafras, primrose, morning-glory, and many roses. Chinese 
elms sprayed at Harrisburg, Pa. Some of the heaviest orchard defoli- 
ations in New Jersey occurred in Hunterdon County. An increase in 
beetle population indicated "oy reports from points in New England, 
such as New London, Conn., Springfield, Mass. and Brewer, Maine. 
Connecticut. J. P. Johnson (August 22): Beetles abundant at Bridgeport, 
New Haven, Stamford, Greenwich, Hartford, New London, and Danbury 
until the second week in August, when the numbers began to decrease. 
A large infestation in East Hartford was stripping willow, sweet cherry, 
and plum, and feeding considerably on apple and elm. This infesta- 
tion was centered along the river meadow land.
