Workmen are spraying the most
over 99 acres of Indianapolis land,
the roots of the grass. The. concoction is arsenate of lead, which is a deadly poison and which is tinted pink so that it won't be mistaken for flour. Once in the roots of the grass it will be directly in the way of the larvae of the Japanese beetle, which will eat it and die. Otherwise, the larvae would develop into beetles, which would emerge next year and eat all the vegetation in their paths. It costs considerably more than $100 an acre to spray this land, but Frank N. Wallace, state entomologist, says that if the ground where beetles have been found during the
apolis: would shortly be visited with a horde of the destructive pests. Abaut 200 beetles were found in Indiana this year, fewer than were found ‘in Riverton, N.-J., in ‘1916. Those found in: 1916 were not treated, afid have become:a major— Mr. Wallace says the most destructive pest—menace. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent annually to control ‘them, and the going has been slow. At present, spraying operations are being carried on at Christian Park, south .of Irvihgton, where 27 acres are to be treated. Also to be treated in Indianapolis is land at Union and Minnesota Sts., Woodruff Place, and the grounds af the Indiana Medical Center.

sport, Ft. ‘Wayne and Whiting. Arsenate of lead to cover these areas cost a total of $16,530, and the U. 8S. Government has furnished spray trucks and drivers. Mr. ‘Wallace says the Japanese beetle is particularly destructive because it will eat pretty nearly anything in’ the vegetation line. : Most destructive insects limit . their diet to three or four plants. . Japanese beetles are parasites even in their mode of travel. Most of them got to Indiana on freight trains from the East, and some of them have been know to go long distances by merely squatting in a stream of water and floating. Government entomologists are at work on finding and coddling a parasite that will kill large numbers of the beetles and thus bring the pest
under control.

WHEELER DEMANDS | NAVY, SHIP INQUIRY
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16 (U. P.). —Senator Burton K. Wheeler (D. Mont.) demanded a Congressional investigation today of construction faults in the Navy’s new destroyers. . He said that Congress should refuse to vote further money for naval construction until responsibility for the defects is fixed. Meanwhile, Naval officials asserted that the trouble experienced in the Navy's newest destroyers was being exaggerated. Acting Secretary of the Navy Charles Edison said that charges of top-heaviness in the new ships were being overplayed—that under normal operating conditions they were stable. Mr. Edison admitted, however, that the new destroyers did not satisfy the Navy's required margin of safety when operating at full speed in heavy seas with the rudder hard to port or starboard. He explained that adjustments were being made.
