Gentner, entomologist at the southern Oregon experiment station here, has completed the liberation in Jackson and Jo sephine counties of 16,000 beetles to feed on St. John's-wort, also known as Klamath weed or goat weed, he said today. He accompanied Dr. Chas. H. Martin of the entomology depart ment, Oregon State college, to the area in Humboldt county, California, where the beetles were collected. Dr. Martin has charge of the project of introduc ing the beetles into Oregon and had previously made arrange ments with James K. Holloway of the U. S. bureau of entomol ogy and plant quarantine to ob tain these insects. In Josephine county Jens Svinth and Clifford Jenkins of the county extension service assisted in the selection of fields. Has Freed Area Beetles liberated four years ago in an area in Humboldt coun ty very heavily infested with St. John's-wort. have practically eradicated the weed from an area about seven miles long by three miles wide, and grasses have be come re-established in this pas ture area. The ranch where the beetles were collected had been heavily infested with St. John's-wort that the owner was offered only $5 an acre for the ranch. At present it is practically free from the weed. St. John s-wort has become a very serious weed pest on uncul tivated lands and pastures. When it becomes established it crowds out useful plants and stock will not teed there. Mow tne Deeues and their larvae eat the leaves and tender growth, leaving only the woody parts, thus starving out the plants or weakening them so that they no longer can com pete with other vegetation. From Australia The beetles have been Intro- i duced from Australia and have been studied experimentally in California for about five years, , The adult beetles are bronze, blue or green in color, about one fourth inch long and about one half as wide and are rather ro-1 bust. They emerge from the : ground about this time of the year, feed for a time, then dur ing the summer they go through j a period of aestivation or sum mer dormancy. With the fall rains they again . become active, feed and lay eggs. Most of the egg-laying, however, ; occurs early in the spring. The ; larvae feed until about the first ! of April when they go into the soil to pupate, some time later ! changing to adults. This insect can increase very rapidly, since j each female is capable of laying j about 5,000 eggs. The colonies j which are now being established will show little effect the first j year, but if conditions are favor-1 able, large numbers of beetles should be available for libera tion in other fields by the sec-, ond or third year. j The beetles feed only on St. John's-wort and will perish if this is not available.
