In control of tbe beetle, several methods of attack will be followed. Poisoning with sodium cyanld In water of such soils aa are badly Infested with tlie larvae or grub will be practiced. Several million beetles. It 1a believed, can be captured by sweeping Infested plants with nets. A band to one of vegetation from one-hamile wide surrounding the Infested area will be kept thoroughly poisoned With Insecticides sprayed or dusted on the plants. To prevent accidental carriage of the beetle on automobiles and other vehicles and on pedestrians, tha roadways have been cleared, by grubbing and burning of food plants of the beetle. The weed food plant will be kept down by the use of large chemicals. quantities of Attention te being given to the Introduction of parasites of the beetle from Japan.
