JAPANESE BEETLE ( Popillia japonica ITewm. ) 
Hew Jersey. C. H. Hadley (April 23): Conditions during the winter of 1935-36 
were such that for the first time since the beetle has been known to 
occur in the United States there has been considerable mortality of 
the grubs at certain places in the infer ted area, owing to the extremely 
cold weather, coupled with lack of a sufficient blanket of snow. 
However, the destruction of the grub population in the soil is not 
general or uniform throughout the infested area, but is most evident 
in southern New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania.
