season. Initial linds of <»nt' beetle each were made at Elizabeth City and 
Wilson. 
This season's trapping in Kentiieky was the tirst undertaken in that State. 
Five cities were trapped. Two beetles in Louisville and one in I^xiug^on were 
the net results of trapping in the State. 
lieetles were caught in 1) of the 10 communities trapped in West Virginia; 
Fairmont, rarkersburg. Clarlfsburg. and ( hester, all under a State (inarantine 
since April 15, IJKW), had the most stibstantial increase. Catches paralleling 
those (if last year were made at llinit iiigton. Martinsburg. rrinceton, and 
\\hceling. One beetle was trapped for a first record at Charleston. Reported 
infestations at (Irafton and Ilollidays Cove were confirmed by hand collections. 
Extensively .scattered trapping throughout the nonregulated sections of Mary- 
land turned up IG lirst-record infestations, the most important being at 
Jessups, Millersville. New Market, and Kiviera Beach. Carry-over infestations 
were disclosed at eight other points. 
Trapping at Erie, Pa., revealed a still further reduction in catches for the 
fourth con.^ecutive year. Only a small i»ercentage of the 4.') beeth's cauglit came 
came from the previously treated area. A first re<'ord at Sharon and an 
increase to 15 beetles at Warren, where 1 beetle was caught in V.V.Vo, were 
the net results of trapping at 9 conununities in northwestern Pennsylvania. 
An increased number of traps in Cleveland. Ohio, netted 1,103 beetles as 
compared to V.', caught in 193"). Small infestations at four other Ohio point.s • 
failed to reappear. However, there were uniform increases in 11 cities, those 
of largest proportion being in Cleveland, Youngstown, Hills and Dales, Steuben- 
ville, Toledo, Marietta, and East Liverpool. The catch at Cleveland was con- 
centrated chiefly on the east side some distance from the network of rail- 
roads bordering the Cuyahoga River; that at Youngstown was concentrated in 
a limited section near fields favorable to larval develojjment ; that at Steuben- 
ville, between the Ohio River and the railroad yards; and that of East Liver- 
pool in the vicinity of railroad terminals. First -record infestations of seven 
beetles each were found at (lallipolis and Mansfield. Approximately lialf 
the expense of trapping the S-l communities in Ohio was borne by State 
authorities. 
Collections at Buffalo. N. Y.. with a 400-percenl increase in the number of 
traps set, mounted to 214 against 47 for It).').'). Practically all of the beetles 
were caught in the southeastern .section of the city, in the vicinity of freight 
yards. Some CO percent were caught within a radius of I'o miles of the Food 
Terminal and Farmer's Market. All of the infestations discovered last year 
persisted. One beetle was caught at Lockport for a first record. The catch 
at Rochester, double that of 193.5, was concentrated near the New York Central 
Railroad yard. Fourteen cities were trapped this year. 
Trai»ping resumed in Vermont after a 3-year lajise revealed a sizeable in- 
festation at Burlington aiul negative results in three other cities. Xo beetles 
were caught in three cities trapped in New Hami).<hire. Of the 19 cities and 
towns trapped in the nonregulated area of Maine. ou\y Brewer disclosed an 
infestation. 
There was a 50-percent reduction over last year in the number of beetles 
caught in Indianapolis. Ind.. with only one beetle picked up in the area 
previously treated. Small initial finds were reported at Fort Wayne and 
South Bend, Ind. Ten cities were trapped in liuliana in 1936. 
From captures of (5 beetles in 19.34 and 39 last year, this season's catches 
in r'hicago in^Toased to 3.740 l)eetles. more or less segregated in (> rather 
widely .separated infestation centers. Trapping in Chicago tl'.is year was much 
more extensive llian in either of the 2 i)revious years. Some 7. ."00 trans were 
syst enuitically distributed in all sections of the city likely to contain infesta- 
tions. Trai)s were concentrated in sections showing infestation in 19.35 and in 
sections untrapju'd last year. As infestations were turned up in sections 
affording desirable soil conditions for beetle survival, adtl'fional tr;u\s were con- 
centrated at the.se points. At the end of this .sea.son, a fairly complete iuct\iro 
of the Chicago infestation centers .and degrees of infestation was availabl^>. 
A negligible infestation ])ersisled in I'.ast St. l/<Miis, 111. Tr.-ipping in five 
additional Illinois cities was with negative r(»sults. 
This year 12S beetles were caught in Detr<ut. Mich., as contrasted with 
suc<-essive years' caf<-hes. starting in 19.32. of S. 4. KK and 23 beetles, respec- 
tively. The use of 4. .500 tr:ii)s i>ermitted coverage of practically all sections 
of the city. Over half of this ye.-ir's collect i(tns wiu'c taken in the southwestern 
.sections of the city in the vicinity of the Detroit Railroad produce terminaL
