Zoysio's
Good
Points

Hot weather grasses are
gaining in popularity in the
Washington area. Zoysia, in
particular, seems to be gain
ing favor in many areas.
This is not surprising con-
Sidering how much fertilizer
is needed each season to
achieve a satisfactory stand
Of bluegrass. Also, that
weeds, especially the crab
grass seem always to be pres
ent and ready to take over
whenever anything happens
to the bluegrass. In Wash
ington bluegrass nearly al
ways goes dormant during
periods Of high temperature.
Many Washington gardeners
through close cutting, lack
of feeding, and other good
management practices sell
dom attain a satisfactory
bluegrass lawn.
Zoysia seems to thrive un-
der such conditions Except
in shade) and in spite of its
straw color in the winter
does assure a good lawn dur
ing the summer. Meyer 10Y
sia is fairly fine-leaved and
gives a good appearance
from mid-May until frosty
nights in October. 1t may be
cut at any height from "a
inch up, but does best when
cut at "a inch. Heavy feed
ing is likely to be detrimental
since it lengthens the nodes
and produces a thiner cover.
z oysia produces the tough
est turf which heals quickly
following any injury such as
children digging in it. 1t will
smother out most all of the
common weeds. If allowed to
go uncut the growth will sell
dom exceed six inches in
height.
Meyer Zoysia was devel-
oped at Beltsville, Md, by the
Turf Research Section. A
newcomer, one that is getting
considerable attention, is
EmeraldZoys The latter is
finer leaved and is reported
as holding its color later into
the fall.
The winter color as a dis
pleasing characteristic was
mentioned above. The other
minus factor, slowness Of es-
tablishment, is being over
come now that firms are Of
fering Meyer Zoysia by the
yard. Seed Of the improved
zoysias is not available. The
only zoysia seed offered is i'm
ported and is a variable mix
ture with some very coarse
bladed plants and some that
are not hardy, hence is Of
little interest to homeowners
who want a trouble free green
lawn during the summer.

Desperate Methods Of Eradication

A layer of roofing paper
spread over the area may be
unsightly, but in a few weeks
it will smother out all but
the toughest. The fact that
it is unsightly for a limited
time may discourage the use
Of roofing paper for some as
it does have to be weighted
down with dirt, bricks or
boards to keep it in place.
Chemicals that sterilize the
soil for two or three months
is another method that is be-
coming popular.
Such materials as dalapon,
a killer Of perennial grasses,
is useful on Bermuda, nim-
BILE will, quack grass, etc.
Amitrol is probably faster
acting, at least the recon-
mendation is that after two
weeks the area may be spaded
and replanted.
Vapan and Mylon are two
other chemicals which may
not be 100 per cent effective
but do give a substantial kill
Of the weedy grasses.
Another chemical, granu-
lar cynamid, can be worked
into the soil. 1t will kill all
plants but after a couple Of
months the area may be re-
seeded as the cynamid turns
to nitrogen and becomes a
fertilizer.
A faster method and a
more complete killer of weeds
is the soil fumigant methyl
bromide. Spade the soil and
apply l pound per 100 square
feet Of area. The soil should
be moist for best results.

for two days, then remove
and allow the soil to aerate
for three days. Grass seed
can be sown after a days
aeration. Thus in five days
the weeds have been killed
and the ground is ready for
planting. In addition to kill
ing the weeds, this material,
methyl bromide, is a good
nemacide. The methyl bro
mide has some fungicidal
properties. However, for
stronger action in eradicating
diseases, chloropicrin would
probably be more effective
than the combination ref
erred to which contains only
2 per cent. 1t should be noted
that chloropicrin is TEAR
GAS and should be handled
with care.

had gotten q foothold. 1t
worked because the heavy
layer of straw effectively
smothered the quack grass.
There are similar methods,
which we may call drastic or
not, that can be employed
to stamp out Bermuda (wire
grass, nutgrass, honeysuckle
and similar invasive weeds
and weedy grasses.

SEATTLE, May Is (AP).-
Frank Brewster, once one of
the most powerful members of
the Teamsters Union, has been
ordered expelled from Team
sters Local l74 by the execu-
tive board Of the Seattle local.
The executive board yester-
day also ordered that Mr..
Brewster, one-time Teamsters
international vice president and
chairman Of the Western Con-
ference Of Teamsters, also pay
$4,000 in fines on charges of
irregular handling of $121,-
850.09 in union funds.
If expelled from the local,
Mr.. Brewster would automati-
cally be expelled from the
union.
Mr.. Brewster said the action
OF the Local 174 executive
Board would be appealed to
Teamsters Joint Council %,
which Mr.. Brewster heads.
After that it may be appealed
by either side to the Interna-
tional Union. the international
Teamsters Convention or the
courts
Mr.. Brewster described the
executive boards action as the
action of a kangaroo court, re-
sulting from years of strife be-
tween himself and James r.
Hoffa, Teamsters general presi-
dent, and George Cavano, Sec
retary-treaSurer of Local 174.
The executive board accused
Mr.. Brewster of using $4,000 in
Local l74 funds as down pay
ment on a home at Palm
Springs, Calf; routing S75.-
903.84 into a Local 174 special
fund" of which no accounting
was ever made, and of paying
himself $28,S80 in bonus checks
without authorization and
causing $13,566.25 of local
funds to be diverted to his per-

the promotional means utilized to attract tourists, who are
responsible for our biggest industry.
Our promotional budget is low compared to those of Puer-
to Rico, Jamaica, the Bahamas, Bermuda and Curacao.
These resorts each spend more than 100000 yearly to
attract tourists, and with the number OF visitors increas-
ing yearly, their budgets have risen accordingly.
AS we all know, potential visitors are attracted by promo
ton. And it stands to reason, the more impressive the pro-
motion by rival resorts, the more likely potential tourists
will be drawn to them. This refers not only to paid adver-
Using but also editorial material that has been placed in
media throughout the United States.
Since we cannot equal the budgets of these resorts, even
though we double our present outlay, other means must be
found to garner as much free editorial publicity as posi-
BILE in the United States and in Puerto Rico.
This can be accomplished by the establishment Of a Virgin
Islands News Bureau, situated in the Virgin Islands. with
arrangements for the dissemination Of local news through
affiliated news bureaus on the mainland.
With offices in st. Thomas and St. Croix, the staff of the
Virgin Islands News Bureau would consist Of expert writ
ers and photographers whose efforts would result in a con-
tinuing mention of the Virgin Islands in all media. The Blu
reau would develop news and feature stories to be based
on announcements, reports, polls, surveys, predictions,
speeches, anniversaries, awards, special events and inter
views with local and visiting celebrities.
This material would be sent to wire services, syndicates,
individual newspapers and to house organs, Of which
there are almost 10000 in the United States, some with
circulation in the millions. The Bureau would angle stories
to departmental editors OF newspapers, magazines, radio
stations and televSion. These are the editors concerned
With travel fashion, homenaklng, asnlng, sailing, garden
ing, etc.
It would be the function of the Bureau to hold regular
meetings with government officials and civic and business
groups for story material.
We are keenly aware that the Virgin Islands best chance
for economic security comes from the use of the attributes
with which Nature blessed us. However, at this time only
a comparatively small segment Of the mainland public is
aware of these. This can be traced to the failure to widely
disseminate this information. We must have better liaison
between the United States Press and the Virgin Islands if
we are not to suffer economically. s
The two principals of this firm, Donald j. Plantz and Jer-
ONE Dreyer, are experienced neWspapermen who also
sincerely feel that, as residents Of the Virgin Islands, and
thoroughly familiar with them, we are the logical organi-
cation to operate the Virgin Islands News Bureau.
AS we discussed it several days ago, our budget for this
operation would be approximately $4,000 a year. We
