Fortunately, there are relat ively easy, uncomplicated, corrective measures for each problem. Caused by a fungus in the genus Sclerotinia. dollar spot is undoubtedly the most common warm weather turf malady. Characterized by the rapid development of s traw colored areas, at f irst the size of a si lver dollar , the disease is capable of occurring on any of the commonly grown lawn grasses. If left unchecked, the dollar size spots tend to coalesce, forming large, irregularly shaped, l ight tan patches Dollar spot is readily diagnosed Infected blades always exhibit a whit ish area bordered on top and bottom by a thin, dark red l ine. If growing actively, the pathogen's f ine, white, cobweb-like mycelium can often be seen lying on the grass in the early morning hours while the dew is st i l l present . Two or three weekly applications of Dyrene, Daconil 2787. or Kromad generally provide excellent control All of the recent warm, cloudy, at least part ial ly rainy days are ideal for the development of powdery mildew Although the white, powdery fungal growth l iving on top of the blades is unsightly, damage is almost always negligible unless the condit ion persists for prolonged periods of t ime in which case yellowing clothing superintendent; Karen Burg, foods superintendent; and Mrs. Hendricks and Miss Kopsell , f ine arts superintendents of blades due purely to shading can occur. Control is a snap; one of two applications of Actidione- Thiram, and poof, the fungus will disappear Caused by the non-parasi t ic fungus Physarum cinereum, sl ime mold is the strangest turf "happening." During periods of hot , wet weather, purplish- gray pustules form on grass blades. What l i t t le damage does occur results from rft^hanical smothering or shading Normally, s l ime mold will vanish with the onset of dry weather. Because of the short- l ived, generally insignificant nature of this "disease," the expenditure of money for chemical control is not warranted. Brushing infected areas with a st iff broom will temporari ly remove the fungus. If wet periods persist , and you get t i red or embarassed about sweeping, an application of Dyrene or Daconil 2787 wil l give good control . A soil borne pathogen, Fusarium roseum, has, in the last ten years, caused more damage to grass than any other turf fungus. Str ict ly a summer disease, infected grass first turns yellow in circular , crescent-shaped, or streaked patterns. Gradually the color of the turf fades to a dull tan In the last s tages, s tr icken areas are a l ight s traw color. Because patches of green, apparently healthy grass, exist within the browned out circle, Fusarium blight is also commonly referred to as frogs eye leaf spot As soon as symptom expression -appears, lawn areas should be sprayed with Benomyl Three or four applications usually do the tr ick C o l s o n f i r s t i n N i x o n c i r ­ c l e t o p l e a d g u i l t y .

MIMOSA WEBWORMS Cheek your honey locust and mimosa trees for mimosa webworms and begin control measures as soon as the first nests appear The mimosa webworm can fx* identif ied as a small , pale- gray or brown caterpil lar with f ive white str ipes running lengthwise on their bodies The larvae wrap the leaves of honey locust , mimosa and similar t ree species together to form nests and then feed on the leaves inside. The worms are ravenous feeders and rapidly damage foliage. Leaves turn brown and die leaving unsightly nests scattered over the tree. By mid-August or early September, most of the foliage may be destroyed. Although damage is confined to the foliage and the trees are not ki l led, repeated defoliat ions may result in serious injury. Adult mimosa webworms are mouse-gray moths with about a one-half inch wingspan. Young says. But the moths are seldom seen When they emerge in the spring from pupae that have overwintered in the soil or bark of t rees, the moths begin to lay eggs on honey locust and mimosa leaves. The eggs hatch within a week, producing caterpil lars that do the damage. The entire l ife cycle of mimosa webworms takes about forty-five days, Young says. At least two generations can be produced in one year in central I l l inois; three generations are l ikely in southern Il l inois. A new generation usually appears in August . Young advises homeowners to check mimosa and honey locust t rees frequently now As soon as nests appear, begin spraying with the chemicals, malathion or carbaryl (Sevin), or with the biological control agent, Bacil lus thuringiensis . A repeat t reatment may be needed in two or three weeks.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Veterans and their families are asking thousands of questions concerning the benefi ts their Government provides for them through the Veterans Administrat ion. Below are some representat ive queries Addit ional information may be obtained at any VA office. Q -- I understand that the Veterans administrat ion since World War II has approved GI home loans worth over $102 bil l ion for 8.5 mill ion veterans What I wonder is , have they been good credit r isks9 A -- Yes, and they continue to be good credit r isks. An overall 3.5 percent foreclosure rate on mortgages test if ies to their credit worthiness. Q - A friend of mine says it has cost $29 bil l ion to train about 15 mill ion veterans under three GI Bil ls administered by the Veterans administrat ion. Can this expenditure be just if ied9 A - The expenditure could be just if ied purely on f iscal grounds alone, since it is est imated that veterans will repay more than that amount in added Federal income tax on increased earnings. Q - My husband ret ired last month after 20 years in mili tary service. Am I el igible for CHAMPVA, the Veterans administrat ion's health care program9 A -- No, dependents of mil i tary ret irees are not el igible for CHAMPVA However, you probably are el igible for the mili tary 's health care program.
