| Question: | "Last season beetles in abundance were flying over our course. Should we therefore expect this season to be troubled with the grubs of these beetles in our putting green and fairway turf? If so, how early in the season should we begin applications of arsenate of lead for their control, and in what quantity should it be applied? We have been using this chemical in the past for the control of grubs." |

| Answer/Response: | "If beetles were prevalent on your course last season it is likely that you will have much damage from them this season, and arsenate of lead is the best remedy we know of. It is applied to putting greens and fairways at the same rate, namely 5 pounds to 1,000 square feet. In some cases 3 pounds have proved to be effective, but 5 pounds is the general recommendation. The chemical is difficult to distribute evenly unless it is mixed with some material to add bulk. Sand or compost may be used for this purpose. On many courses it is applied with the fertilizer, otherwise it can be mixed with damp sand or with soil. The chemical can be applied at any time during the growing season, but in order to be most effective against grubs it is well to make the application by the first of June." |
