Win Brown Press Sect. 623-2610 Let's Get Growing THE LITTLE CRITTER chinchbug emerges froi THE LITTLE CRITTER CALLED THE CHINCHBUG This little guy has caused a lot of harm to lawns over the past four to five years, and in some cases has destroyed the lawn completely. The chinchbug chinchbug has become a major lawn pest in many parts of the country and our area is no exception. These insects suck the sap from the crowns of the plants. They multiply rapidly in the hot, humid weather such as we have had over the past three weeks, and they can kill a lawn area very rapidly. Damage is not usually noticed until it is too late. It will show up in July and August. The time to spray against this pest will be in the next two weeks, unless we get a lot of cool weather, then wait until the first two weeks in July. Chinchbugs are small about five mm., black with white patches on the wings, they are hard to find since they hide in the thatch of the grass. To understand their life cycle, divide the year into four seasons, winter, spring, summer and fall. During the winter, the adult chinchbug will hibernate in the matted clippings in the lawn, and other weedy areas around the house and even in loose soil in the garden. No damage is done during this time. Then comes the spring season when the temperature starts to rise up toi 70 degrees, and the chinchbug emerges from hibernation and starts to extract extract sap from the crown of the grass plant. At the same time, the female will start to lay her eggs about 15 to 20 eggs per day for at least 20 to 30 days (just multiply and see how many chinchbugs will come from one female). During this period, the damage is not noticeable since the sap is flowing heavily and only a few chinchbugs are evident. Now, comes the summer period, when the most damage will be done. The eggs will hatch seven to 10 days after laying. Wingless nymphs start feeding on the grass crowns immediately. They will reach maturity in 30 days and are capable of reproduction immediately and the cycle is repeated. Then in the fall season they will continue their reproduction cycle into the month of November, depending depending on the weather. The life cycle of the chinchbug is seven to eight weeks so this will give them two to three generations per year. The first generation will die in the fall and the-rest of the generation will hibernate hibernate for the winter months and will repeat their destructive cycle the following year. You can see if this cycle is not broken then we have a real problem on our hands, so it is a must to control this destructive destructive insect. Nature sometimes Bowmanville's Knights of Columbus have donated $1,149.76 towards Memorial Hospital's building fund. The money represents Council 6361's share of the proceeds from the annual Knights of Columbus car draw. Making Making the presentation to Memorial Hospital Foundation Chairman Tom Cowan is Bill Van Boxtel, chairman of the car draw.

One way to check for chinchbugs is to water the area suspected with warm water and place a piece of white cloth over the area, then the chinchbug will emerge from the thatch and crawl into the white cloth. There are several ways to control this pest, by spraying with Sevin, Diazonon or Crop- gard, all soil insecticides. It can also be controlled with a combination fertilizer-insecticide fertilizer-insecticide which will clean up the insects and at the same time feed the lawn. Thought for this week: Lawns are the world's second best air filter. When it rains in the city, most of the water goes down the drain. But, in the suburbs most of it falls on lawns and gardens. They hold the moisture filtering it down to the water table for everyone's everyone's use. Healthy grass, for instance, is six times as effective effective as a wheatfield, four times as good as a hayfield, only the virgin forest does, it better. Until next week, happy gardening.
