Fish and Game Director William E, Warne stated: “Our crops are ready—it’s up to the farmer to shoo the ducks our way.” He asked framers to purchase the various frightening devices avail-. able, including cracker shelis and carbide exploders. “Now is the time to get a supply of theses items,” Warne said. ‘Don’t let flocks build up to attract later. migrants.

Late August and September are critical months in your lawn care calendar. This is especially true in California where long summer drought: often‘ combines with weed and pest to leave the neglected lawn something less than beautiful. In view of the hazard, the California Association of Nursery. men forwards a set of rules. And if you would have a beautiful Jawn this fall, you’d do well to hear what the nurserymen say. First and foremost, of course, is continued watering: But since compaction usually reaches its peak in late summer and fall, the hurserymen recommend spiking with an aerator to aid in water penetration. Seeond most important factor is adequate food, and if you’ve failed to supply it since spring, make up for the oversight with a generous feeding now. Feed lightly thereafter at month or six-week intervals until grass goes dormant. There’s more to_ late Summer lawn care than food however. Much ‘more. Where weeds appear (and where -don’t they?) or pests show up, you'll want to knock them even before you feed. If any crabgrass weathered your spring attempt to wipe it out, finish it off before it goes to seed, Your nurseryman . will recommand .a summer control. Other weeds can be handled with -one of the conventional selective weed killers. So easy has their control] become, there’s: really no excuse for tolerating them. Control of sod webworms (awn moth) or cutworms — the two worst invaders — likewise simple and easy with modern sprays and dusts. Where Bermuda grass lawns _prevail, the C.A.N, recommends a renewal at this time. Rake it “unmercifully and cut over twice (in both directions). Seed with rye or other cool season grass to hide Bermuda’s brownness in winter. Another possibility is to plug dichondra into Bermuda lawn. Given time, it will balance off with the Bermuda, making a more attractive lawn and keeptq nt On: Wildlife-Jobslications may Sega ton eoparticet’ waders or ‘Fish and Wildlife Service .

By comparison, a DDT-toxaphene mixture, DDT alone, parathion, and Sevin caused marked reductions in the number of lady beetles and other beneficial insects that prey upon field crop pests, the scientists state. ‘ “Since dylox is also relatively nontoxic to honeybees, the insecticide can be used to control alfalfa seed pests when the seed fields are in bloom,” they suggest.
