The iiverage small property owner in the county takes great eare to eradi¬ cate these pests but along the road¬ sides and on viicant farms, there is an increiising iimount of these destruc¬ tive pests which threaten to reiich i point just as serious as the destruction created   by   the  Japanese   beetle.
The destructifin of these nests would be inieresting and productive of splen¬ did results for the present and the fu¬ ture iind of much more value 'ban would iippear mi the surface of things, beciiuse I have Wiitched the tremen¬ dous increase Cor the piist severai years and it has reiwhed an appaling condition.
