By w. H. YOUNGMAN
star Garden Editor


A new aide for the home
gardener that has proven ef-
fective and much simpler to
apply, is called dimethoate.
Most of the insecticides here
tofore available to the home
gardener were effective only
against the adult forms and
required great care in applica-
ton to be effective. This was
especially true of the aphids,
thrips, mites and laceflies,
pests that spend the major por-
ton of their lives on the un-
derSideS of the leaves. Also, the
materials which formerly. and
some will continue to use them,
are very transitory. Thus the
battle with these pests was a
continuing one, that required
care in spraying to get good
coverage. and required at least
three applications at weekly in
tervalS.
Dimethoate is an entirely
different type of insecticide. ii
is taken up (absorbed) by the
leaves and the roots and goes
into the plants system, hence
is called q systemic. The Pc
riod of effectiveness varies with
the different kinds Of plants,
but in general lasts for sew
eral to many weeks. The ex-
ception to this seems to be the
roses and 1t may take q week
ly application to keep the red
spider mites under control on
roses.
No Need for Stickers
In applying dimethoate there
is no need for spraying the
undersides of the leaves, in
fact a coarse spray applied to
the foliage in sufficient guam
tity to wet them seems to be
adequate. Also, there is no
need for using spreaders and
stickers to make the material
adhere to the leaf surfaces. II
some of the spray drips onto
the soil 1t may be taken up
by the roots and thus supple
ment that taken in by the
leaves.
The use of dimethoate as q
soil drench or its use in granu-
lar form has not been worked
out for many kinds Of plants,
it is too new. More will be
learned each season, in the
meantime the gardener should
not experiment but wait for
the results obtained by the ex-
pertinent stations.
Use With Precautions
Dimethoate is slightly more
toxic than malathion and
should be used with the same
precautions. Avoid breathing
spray mist, wash after use
with strong soap and water.
Clothing that is wet with
dimethoate should be thor
oughly washed before use.
The following list gives the
kinds Of plants on which di-
methoate may be used, the in

rate of application teaspoons

but is most effective in con,

evidence Of winter injury to the
leaf which can be prevented by
protecting the ligustrum from

may be prevented by spraying
with fermate or captain. This
should be done several times
during the summer, especially
during hot muggy weather.

Beetle Grubs
Rx BRIAN FINGER


Ground moles tunnel in
search of food. Grubs of the
Japanese beetle as well as other
beetle grubs are what they eat
most. So If you treat your
grounds to control the beetles,
you won't be troubled with
moles.
Two chemicals which are very
effective in killing grubs are
chlordane and dieldrin. These
can be applied either in dust
or as a spray or with q
sprinkling can.
It will be several months be-
fore control becomes effective, !,
but will last five years or long
er. Also, mole traps are good
and work much faster If you
have an acute mole problem.
Lacebugs on Azaleas
Lacebugs will be attacking
many Of your shrubs anytime
now. Keep q sharp lookout
particularly on Japanese an
dromeda, azaleas, rhododen-
dron, sycamore, oak and haw-
thorne. Lacebugs are small,
flat, lace-winged insects about
an eighth Of an inch long.
They suck juices from the un-
dersides Of the leaves Of plants.
Leaves viii appear stippled, pale
yellow or silvery and the un-
dersides are spotted with o dark
gummy material. To control
lacebugs. spray in mid-May.
(Ed. ote-one application
Of demethoate win protect most
of the season)
Euonymus Scale Control
Euonymus scale Is o serious
insect pest that will appear on
the leaves and stems Of euony-
mus, bittersweet, and pachy-
sandra. In heavy infestations
this insect looks like frost on
the leaves and stems. Male
scales are white and marrow
and congregate in large num-
bers on the underside of the
leaves. Female scales are pear
shaped, brownish. and about
one sixteenth Of an inch long
and congregate on the stems.
The crawlers or i'm m q atureI
scales appear as golden specks
on the leaves. There are two
generations of crawlers each
season, one in May and an
other in July. Spraying should
be timed now to control craw-
lers. Spray with dimethoate in
May. For more information,
write to your County Agent at
Rockville, Md. and request bull
letin No. 1853. :.
LeafspOt on Bluegrass
Leafspot on Kentucky blue
grass has started to make an
appearance. Leafspot is real bad
in a spring such as this when
we have had a great deal Of
cool, moist weather. The dam
age to the grass Is most con-
spicuous in the leaves. The
fungus causing leaf spot pro-
duces reddish-brown to pur-
plish-b black spots on leaves and
stems of Kentucky bluegrass.
One way to control this dis
ease is to grow the resistant
variety, Merton. Some leafspot
will develop on Merton but 1t
is more resistant than the Ken
lucky bluegrass.
Management practices for
control:
Now your grass at q height
Of / V to 2 inches.
Avoid overfertilizing especial
ly in the spring.
Remove clippings.
Fungicides such as Captain,
can be used as a spray for
control.
One precaution make sure
you don't use phenyl-mercury
compounds on Merton blue
grass.

Since the beginning of the Fall
term the activities of c h harity
Lodge No. II have been varied
and numerous. Starting off the
new term, a Ladies Mite Banquet
was held and was we'll attended.
Local residents who had helped
with the minstrel show were in
vited guests. Just before our Sum
mer vacation, which is July and
August, it was decided TO hold
one dinner meeting each month,
beginning with the Fall term,
with member of our lodge in
charge of the program, preferably
a member who did not attend
meetings regularly. The Sc on d
Thursday night of each month
was chosen. The dinner IS at $50
which IS served by the Ladies
Auxiliary of the Fire Department
in the Fire House Auditorium
Each member present pays $50
for his meal. The program follows
Last month the State Board of
Game and Fish Commission pre-
sented very interesting program.
After the program, the members
retired 10 the Lodge Hall for the
business melting. Members II c
urged TO invite prospective mem
bers as their guests. This innova-
ton IS proving very successful, as
it brings out members who do not
ordinarily attend their lodge meet
ings, and the attendance has in
creased at each meeting. The Jan.
dinner meeting program will be
presented BY Glenn w. Ward, a
member Of our lodge, and Vice
President Of the local branch of

sale of wreaths and home decora-
