Drive Begins On Japanese Beetle Raleigh Placement of 8,000 yel low bucket traps for determining the spread of the Japanese beetle in the State has been completed, C. H. Brannon, chief of the Ento mology division of the N. C. De partment of Agriculture, reports. Long experience, Brannon said, has shown that the beetles spread from shipping centers to rural areas, hence the placing of the traps in 80 towns. Brannon explained that a sweet smelling chemical in the trap at tracts the beetle, revealing its lo cation. Subsequently, infected areas are treated with arsenate of lead and other chemical deadly to the beetle or the grub.
