(EDITOR’S NOTE: Informa tion in this column is provided by Extension Service special ists and faculty members of Clemson University. Readers are invited to submit questions. Address to: Editor, Home & Outdoors, care of this news paper.) Q. I let the early spring slip by without fertilizing my fescue lawn. Is it too late for heavy nitrogen-content feeding such as a fertilizer with 20 percent nitrogen, or would you recom mend a more balanced appli cation? A. It is too late for heavy nitrogen application and possib ly any fertilizer at all. Fescue is a cool season grass, mean ing that root development is more favorable in lower temp eratures. Heavy feeding during hot weather only produces top growth, which weakens the plant. Adequate water and high mowing are vital to its main tenance duringthe summer. Ne ver cut fescue below 21/2 inches in hot weather. Three inches may be better. -- E. V. Jones, assistant Extension specialist, horticulture. Q. Our trees and flowers are eaten up by these bugs. What are they and how can we get rid of them? A. B. G., Green ville A. The specimens you sub mitted are rose chafers or the southern form. They have a wide variety of hosts including roses, peonies, and other orna mentals, fruit and cultivated plants. As soon as they appear in the spring, the swarms feed on flowers, later moving to the fruits and leaves. One peculiar characteristic is that poultry become exceedingly ill if they eat too many of these beetles. Hand-picking and destruction of the adults is a recognized procedure for immediate relief. Control is usually accomplished by using an insecticide like Methoxychlor and making sev eral applications. Cheese cloth fences erected around valuable rose plants have also been somewhat effective. — W. C. S Heres you ft * Nettles, principal Extension specialist, entomology and plant pathology. Q. Can you help me get rid of honeysuckle? It’s about to take my fig bushes. Mrs. M. A. R., Taylors. A. Try a product calledAmi- trol-T, if your dealer has it. Use as recommended in direc tions. Spray on the leaves of the honeysuckle to the point of runoff, but be careful not to hit the fig bush. If it’s closely interwoven, work the honey suckle canes out. Two sprays about a month apart should take care of it. For a clincher, spray once next spring if there’s new growth. -- R. J. Ferree, prin cipal Extension specialist, horticulture. Q. Leaves on my maple trees are curled and inside are white insects with pure white, waxy filamentous strands which co ver the body. Will this harm the maple? G. B., Belton A. The insect answers the de scription ofthe maple leaf aphid or Wooly alder aphid. Maple is considered the primary host and alder the secondary host. Leaves of the maple may be twisted but rarely is there more serious damage. Natural ene mies are most important, and a rather unusual enemy of this aphid is a lepidopterous larva which is a predator. Our ex perience has been that by the first of July the insects have either been controlled by pre dators or have migrated back to the alders. Control may be ac complished by use of aphicides such as Malathion, Diazinon or Lindane. -- W. C. Nettles, prin cipal Extension specialist, en tomology and plant pathology. Q. I have been told that some of my trees were killed by borers. What would you advise? A. Borers are especiaUy de structive to newly-set trees or those in weakened condition. Some of the causes for weak ness are construction activity which may damage roots, sun scald, and drought. To minimize borer damage, >x.-:-x-:-Xwx:-:-x I 1 ve seen rt on I v. (ggZZH Now...
