A total of 1,810 apparent violations of the Japanese beetle regulations were 
investigated by the Bureau. Convictions were secured for two violations ; one a 
trucker transporting string beans from Norfolk, Va., to Morristowu, Tenn. ; the 
other a floral company which shipped palms and ivy plants from New York, 
N. Y., to Miami, Fla. 
COOPERATIVE ENTERPRISES 
Funds partially or wholly covering the cost of labor and equipment for the 
trapping programs within their respective States were contributed by Georgia, 
Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Maine, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, 
Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. The city of St. Louis, Mo., also contributed 
funds for the trapping program. Labor for the program was provided in St 
Louis, Mo., and in Detroit, Mich., by the W. P. A. The National Youth Adminis- 
tration provided the manpower for the trapping program at Erie, Pa. The total 
contributions from Federal welfare, State, and city agencies for labor and mate- 
rials used to set and remove traps were approximately $34,000. Cooperative 
control or quarantine activities in the regulated areas again received State 
funds from Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New 
York, Pennsylvania, Khode Island, and Virginia. 
Bureau cooperation in the experiments to determine the effectiveness of the 
nematode Neoaplaetana glaseri in eradicating established infestations of the Jap- 
anese beetle is being continued at the State laboratory at White Horse under 
the agreement reached last year with the New Jersey Department of Agriculture. 
PHONY PEACH DISEASE CONTROL 
Under the expanded program of inspection conducted cooperatively with the 
plant-pest control oflScials of the States concerned, and augmented by allotments 
from the emergency relief appropriations, intensive inspection for the phony peach 
disease was made during the 1986 field season in the 11 known infected States, 
and a survey was conducted in 9 other peach-producing States. Approximately
