WHITE grubs are the larvae
of the large dark brown
May beetles, or "June
Bugs," as they are com-
monly called, which are familiar to
everyone. The grubs breed for the
most part in old pastures where the
sod has not been broken up for some
years. When fully grown they are
thick, fat creaturbs, white in color,
with the body partially curled up and
the last segments of a darker hue
from the food showing through the
skin. They feed on the roots of the
grass, and when this has been
ploughed up they attack whatever
plant may be grown. Three years are
spent underground, then the beetles
appear, often in great swarms, in the
early summer and devour the tender
foliage of trees and shrubs. After
buzzing about in the early evening
they settle down to feed and when
daylight comes they hide away under-
ground where the toil is loose and
under grass or rubbish about fences
and buildings.
The grubs, being underground
feeders, are very difficult to control.
A great variety of experiments have
Leen made with chemicals of many

for more than three years. An old
pasture, when broken up, is often
found to be full of these grubs and
they will attack the roots of any
