Fumigation of bulk sell with methyl bromide for the white-fringed 
beetle in New Orleans. U. S. Bur. Ent. and Plant Quar. E-512, 
4 pp. 1940. [processed.] 
Experimental work with methyl bromide as a fumigant for potting 
soil and five additional types of soil showed that larval infesta- 
tions of Pa ntom orus leucoloma (Boh.) in bulk quantities of these 
soils were destroyed by treatment with 38.3 cc. per cubic yard for 
48 hours, at 42°-88° F. . Ho harmful effect on plants from the use 
of soil fumigated with methyl bromide has been noted by commercial 
users.

Methyl bromide fumigation of the white-fringed beetle larva in 
small flowerpots in New Orleans. U. S Bur. Ent. and Plant 
Quar. E-513, 4 pp. 1940. [Processed.] 
Fumigation of the larva of Pantomo rus leu coloma (Boh. ) in New 
Orleans with methyl bromide at the rate of 1 pound to each 1,000 
cubic feet of chamber space for 4 hours at about 85° F„ destroyed 
infestations in the soil about the roots of plants growing in 3- 
inch or smaller flowerpots, but not in 4-inch pots. The volume of 
the 4-inch pot is 2.3 times that of the 3-inch pot. The treatment 
has been used successfully in quarantine work in Now Orleans and 
is tolerated by approximately 90 percent of the plant species and 
varieties .

An aqueous solution containing 0.3 percent of methyl bromide 
and 0.6 percent of ethyl alcohol destroyed larvae of both species 
about the roots of balled nursery stock. The application of 40 
gallons per 100 square feet of soil surface gave complete mortal- 
ity of the larvae in 18 hours or less.

A fatal case of methyl bromide poisoning is described. This 
acute seizure had been preceded by subacute intoxication during 
periods when the patient had worked in an enclosed space where 
there was some exposure to methyl bromide, with apparent remission 
of all symptoms during periods when he worked in the open.
