" Obseiv .ations seem to niaUe it (jiui

 Ordinarily tlie best time to ]ilo\v is be

 will at this time have changed to pupa 

 and .adult beetles. These pass the win 

 ter in cells, and if the cells arc dis 

 turbed their inhtibitants will bo de 

 stroyed. It is imjiortant to rcineinbc' 

 th.at jdowino should not be delavee 

 until cold weather, for then the grub-. 

 will li.ave gone down to their wintc 

 ijiiartei's, beyond tlu' reach of the plow 



"An infested tiidd may be thorough 

 ly treed from grubs by jiasturing it 

 with hogs, and this method should b. 

 followed wherever possible. Jlogs AviM 

 root to ;i depth of a foot or more ii 

 search of grubs. Liberal application- 

 of commercial fertilizer will assist 

 grass in overcoming grubs if there an 

 not too many of them. AVhen a law i 

 is badly infested the sod sliouUl be r. ■ 

 moved and the grubs gathered by hand 

 after which fall jdowing -will probabi; 

 ]'rove satisfactory. In Kiirojie (du>a|
