| Question: | "Last summer the fairway and rough on four of our holes were infested with white grubs and upon you recommendation we tried the sodium cynide treatment. This year the grubs have not appeared on any of the fairways, but have appeared in several places just off the fairway where the ground is relatively high. They are found at from 3 to 10 inches below the surface. Do you think that we will have trouble over the large area that we had last year and would you recommend treating them the same way?" |

| Answer/Response: | "On this point the Department of Agriculture advises us as follows: "Judging from our knowledge of the emergence of the various broods of may beetles, which lay the eggs producing white grubs, it seems very likely that the beetles of 1924 were responsible for the grubs which are present this year near the fairways and that these grubs will mature in the spring of 1926, producing beetles during the spring of 1927. As white grubs are not known to migrate through the soul to any great distance it seems probable that these particular grubs are not likely to cause further damage to the golf links and that no general damage from grubs is to be expected until the summers of 1927 and 1928. Of course, this is merely a guess based on our general knowledge of the subject, but we believe that this will generally hold true."" |
