" The trustees of these cemeteries are doing their utmost to combat this scourge. A féw months ago they requested the secretary to write Mr, F, M, Campbell, the Agricultural Representative of Ontario. County, who. has given the white grub infestation an exhaustive study and he most courteously wrote and explained how this grub works and how it can be exterminated. . Mr. Campbell stated that the Prince Albert Cemetery had had to combat with the same problem. When he visited Prince Albert cemetery he was accompanied by Mr. G. H. Haminond, Dominion Department of Agriculture, Mr. Campbell is under the impression that the trouble jn Utica is the same as that in Price, Albert but now ap- practically under control, but the ravages in the Utica Cemeteries are much more extensive, He says in part: "The White Grub that you found June Beetle. We fli d that this infes- tation is usually over a three year period. The beetles flying in 1940 would cause a large amount of dam- age in 1941 from the larvae that is hatched out, the larvae remaining in the ground for almost two years and then come out the third year as beetles to lay™more eggs. It is ex- pected that, possibly in 1944, there might be another heavy infestation of White Grub. While this is a three year life history there often is in each year, a certain amount of loss from White Grub. "Insofar as. control is concerned, in open lots, the most practical and cheapest means of control is to plow the ground up in July and disk it deeply 6 or 6 times. This is very ef- fective in. killing these large white grubs. In a cemetery and on lawns where breaking up is almost out of the question it is much miore costly to control the white grub. One of the first things in such case would be to see that the grasi as been fertilized with commercial fertilizer each spring so that a strong vigorous root system might be developed in the soil and help tooc-set any damage from the grub, Another way would be to distribute; by a dusting machine, arsenate of lead over the area about the 3rd week in June or 1st week in July, just when the grub is beginning to work. This would be a costly method and it would necessitate the watering of the grass to allow the arsenate of lead to sink into the roots, as the White Grub does not come to the surface to take any poison or bait. y Still another method. is often used and it is dusting with sulphur about the 20th of May or toward the end of The sulphur 80 pounds to the acre in order to pre- vent beetles from laying eggs in the grass, Co * Another repellant to beetles is the use of clovers in the sod, such as White Dutch. For some reason clover is not preferred by white grubs and often will serve to. protect the grass mixture, Once grass becomes. very brown nesday in honour of the recent mar- riage of Mr, and Mrs. Cecil Fralick. The evening was spent in watching moving pictures, the main picture be- ing the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Black, takén in natural colours last year on the lawn of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs.. 0. A. Gerrow. Most of the relatives present had a glimpse of themselves on the screen. After that Mrs. Donald Black called Cecil and Ivah to the seat of honour and read .a short address in-which Cecil was congratulated on his choice and both were given best wishes for a long and happy future and present- ed with many lovely and useful gifts.

I would suggest that where it is pos- sible to roll the sod when it has been attacked might tend to bring the roots in closer contact with the soil and help them to get a start again. Any other places where the gfubs have come in and the areas are not too large it might be a good thing to break the sod: and re:seed the grass mixture with Dutch 'Clover. This might also be a good means of eradicating rib grass or buckhorn. In any case I would suggest that each spring an application of commercial fertilizer, probably 4-8-10, be applied to _the on receiving the lovely gifts of their crags at the rate 160 pounds to the' acre early in the spring so that spring rains would help to dissolve the fer- tilizer and soak it into the roots."
