Check For Grubs
In Sick Lawns

Spotty damage to lawns, or a
general unthriftiness for which
there is no obvious cause, may be
caused by beetle gruhs. These
caterpillar-like larvae develop from
eggs laid in the sod by adult bee
ties. Remaining in the soil through
out their larvae stage-sometimes
for several years-they feed upon
the roots of grasses and other
plants. II a sufficient number are
present in the lawn, whole root
systems are destroyed and the
grass may die.
Though lawns may suffer from
the ravages of a great array of
insects, beetle grubs do the most
damage. and their activity is
harder to detect. according to DR..
L. A. Stearns, chairman of the
department of entomology at the
University of Delaware.
DR.. Stearns suggests an easy
method to check for the presence
OF grubs in the lawn. Cut down on
three sides of square foot sod,
to 3 inches deep, with a sharp
spade Then forcing the spade
underneath. lay back the foot of
sod, using the uncut side as a
hinge, and examine for grubs. If
six or more grubs are found in this
area of soil. the lawn is subject to
damage. and some treatment is
called for.
A number of new insecticides,
all more effective than the arsenic
Of lead formerly used for this pur-
pose. will kill beetle grubs. Tests
so far have shown chlordane to be
the most promising insecticide for
lawn treatment. hut others in
clude aldrin, DOT, dieldrin. and
Esptachfer.
All these materials are poisonous
and should be handled and appli-
able in strict accordance with tho
manufacturer directions They are
available in the form of wettable
powders or emulsifiable concnn-
trates that can be mixed with
water and used in sprayer. or in
the form of dusts and granules
that can BE- applied directly to the
lawn

When treating for grubs, it is
a good practice to sprinkle the
lawn after the insecticide is ap-
piled. says Stearns. This will wash
the poison down into the soil
where it can reach the insects.
Beetle grubs are soft-bodies and
wingless, completely unlike the
adult beetle in appearance. They
range from " inch to inches in
length and are capable of only
slow movement. Most of them re-
main curled up and motionless
when exposed to the light. One,

Her efforts have borne fruit.

Bellamy is so credited in Bartlett's
Quotations, the Encyclopedia Am

Bellamy.
Each year for IL years Miss Mill

Bellamy as the author of the pledge
Marguerite Miller has also aske
postage stamp in memory of Bel
May Is, 1855-at Mount Morris,
N. Y.
Both a White House secretary
and Post Office spokesman have
advised her the requests were be-
ing considered.
"The pledge of allegiance, Miss
Miller says, lis recited by $50 mil
lion Americans and is the basis for
our claims to a free country and
democracy. 1t is the showcase for
all the world to see and profit by.
A commemorative stamp would
give added emphasis to the patriot
responsible for this concise piece
of loyalty to his country"
Miss Miller, a slim brunette in
her early 40s, has devoted most of
the past 10 years to untiring eff
forts to identify Bellamy with the
pledge in the national mind.
She first became interested when
someone told her the body of the
man who worte the pledge rested
in an unmarked grave. She began
an investigation which disclosed
this report was not true, but which
subsequently convinced her that
Francis Bellamy was the author.

No Early War or Revolt Seen
In Harvard Study of Russia ).

Besides the five-years-at-least
guess on the danger of war and
the unlikelihood OF a revolt, Mr..
Barker deduced the following:
Russia's leaders, whoever they
are, will keep the cold war going.
Russia will try to contain"
the West by attempts to prevent
rearming of Germany and by
stirring up old hostilities be-
tween Germany and France. :
Russia's further efforts to ex-
pand the Iron Curtain area in
the next few years win be in
Asia and Africa.
A great many Russians hate
their leaders, but they love their
country.
Most Russians. despise the
collective farm system but they
like the welfare state. and state
ownership of the means Of pro-
duction.
There is real and widespread
fear in Russia Of Western ag-
gression against the Communist
states.
