15 
approximately 100.000 traps throughout some of the more heavily 
infested portions of the State during the summer of 1989. with a result- 
ing capture of over 104 tons of beetles. In the nonregulated territory 
of Maryland first-record trap captures were made in 7 localities. Trap 
captures in the 15 established infestations in this State ranged from 
9 to 1,189 beetles. 
In Michigan, from July 6 to August 31, 5,250 traps were used in 
Detroit, and during this period 115 beetles were caught — an increase of 
33 over the number captured with 5.313 traps in 1938. Five beetles 
were trapped at Dearborn, where a solitary beetle was captured last 
year. Trapping resulted negatively at Highland Park and Pontiac, 
where first-record infestations were found the previous year. Three 
first-record trap captures were made. These were incipient infesta- 
tions of 6 beetles at Birmingham and 5 beetles each at Grosse Pointe 
farms and Mielvindale. Negative trapping was carried on in 5 addi- 
tional localities. 
In Missouri 13,666 traps were in operation ; 12.230 being in St. Louis, 
where 26 beetles were caught, and 1.436 distributed in 15 other localities, 
where trapping gave negative results. 
In New Hampshire, although 323 traps were set at 6 points, not a 
single beetle was caught. There has been no beetle persistence in the 
nonregulated section of this State since 1933. 
In Xew York first-record infestations of a few beetles each were 
recorded at Auburn. Batavia, Dundee. Mayville, and Penn Yan. An 
infestation of 20 beetles was discovered this year in the village of 
Painted Post. Previously discovered infestations recurred at Canan- 
daigua. Dansville. Geneva. Newark, and Seneca Falls. Beetle collec- 
tions in Dansville showed a substantial increase. A total of 2,550 
traps were set in 43 cities and towns, with positive results in 11 
localities. 
In North Carolina, where 9,525 traps were used, beetles in varying 
numbers were caught in 20 previously infested communities, substan- 
tial increases being noted in several points, Asheville, where 1.073 
beetles were trapped in one section of the city, was not included in the 
large acreage treated in the State during 1939 owing to local condi- 
tion-. Trapping will be repeated in that city and further suppressive 
measures will be worked out with the North Carolina State 
entomologist. 
In Ohio trapping in the nonregulated section extended to 111 towns 
and cities with positive results in 17 localities. These included first- 
record trap captures at 8 points, 5 of which were incipient infestations 
of a few beetles each in isolated localities that are of minor importance 
from the standpoint of spread. Sizable infestations were discovered 
at Martins Ferry, North Salem, and Seville. Infestations continued 
in 10 towns and cities. Scouts located 230 beetles in Mentor as com- 
pared with 132 caught there by scouts in 1938. Trapping giving 
negative results was performed at; 94 additional points. 
In Pennsylvania trapping was carried on in 8 cities and towns, with 
resulting captures in 7 localities. These included first-record finds 
of 13 beetles each in Corn* and Franklin. 1 in Greenville, 7 in Mead- 
ville, and 6 in Titusvilla At Erie 437 beetles were caught in 2.400 
traps, as compared with 343 beetles captured in 2.355 traps in 1938. 
Beetle captures at Oil City increased from 26 in 1938 to 238 in 1939,
