'July for kids' art show planned
The Old Jail Art Center will
host a special reception and
display of artwork by par-
ticipants of the center's "July For
Kids" program on Saturday,
August 4, from 2:00 until 4:00 p.m.
The local art center, along with
support from the Albany Chest,
sponsored several events for
children during the month of July.
The works completed by the
children during some of the pro-
jects will be on display during the
Saturday reception.
"We will have the works from
their mural workshop, the crayon
art and photography workshops
on display," said Robin Cotter,
project coordinator.
All parents and grandparents,
as well as other members of the
community, are invited to attend
the reception and exhibition.
"We also hope to have a photo
essay of some of the other pro-
jects that were offered in which
there was no artwork produced,
such as the cooking classes, wild
west day and some of the field
trips we took," said Cotter.
Cotter said that the response to
the summer program was over-
whelming. "It was beyond our
wildest imagination — the
response was tremendous."
A total of approximately 80
area children participated in the
various workshops.
Cotter said that the project
would not have been possible
without the help of several local
teenagers who acted as assis-
tants, as well as several mothers
of the children.
Cotter thanked various local
citizens for conducting the
workshops. "Barbra and Jay
Clack, and Sonona Teinert volun-
teered to conduct certain work-
shops for the kids — it was a real
community effort."
After viewing the works
created by children who par-
ticipated in the program,
refreshments will be served.
The "July For Kids" summer
program was sponsored by the
Old Jail Art Center and the
Albany Chest.
Projects and field trips offered
included a theater workshop, a
make-a book field trip to the
Museums of Abilene, a mural
workshop, photography work-
shop, a television workshop, a
wild west day, cooking for kids, a
crayon workshop and a field trip
to the Abilene Zoo.
Grubworms should be treated
White grubs or grubworms are
the larval form of insects com-
monly known as May or June
beetles or June bugs. These in-
sects have emerged and are
swarming in late evenings.
White grubs in excessive num-
bers can heavily damage lawns.
We often don't know that they
are doing damage until we can
literally roll up our lawn like a
carpet being taken out for a beat-
ing. The key to white grub control
in home lawns is proper timing of
chemical treatment. By under-
standing the insect's life cycle, we
can realize why timing is so im-
portant.
First, the May or June beetles
emerge as adults. Their popula-
tion usually peaks around mid-
June to late June. Breeding then
takes place followed by egg lay-
ing. After a three- to four-week
period, the eggs will hatch.
This newly formed grub or lar-
va is known as the first instar (or
molting) stage. This young grub,
which is about V« inch in length,
begins to feed on grass roots.
After one or two weeks it will
then molt or shed its skin creating
the larger second stage. The first
and second stages are tfte e&siest'
to control and the stages that
cause the most damage.
The second stage will feed for a
few weeks and molt for the last
time. This is the third stage. The
third instar grub will feed for a
short period of time and rest
throughout the wintr- and early
spring. Then midspring the third
stage will pupate or create a co-
coon. After a period the new adult
emerges and the cycle starts
over.
Remember that the first and
second are easiest to treat. Treat-
ment time varies with the particu-
lar area of the state and ranges
from early July in South Texas to
mid-August in the Panhandle. In
Shackelford County, major beetle
flights have not yet begun, there-
fore, the majority of the eggs
have not been laid.
The best treatment time is usu-

ally early August.
Not everyone who finds a grub
in the lawn needs to make chemi-
cal treatments. Chemical treat-
ment is recommended if there are
more than four grubs per square
foot of sod. Check for white grubs
by cutting a square foot section of
sod with a shovel and examine the
roots and soil to a depth of four
inches. Examine at least one
square foot of sod for 1,000 square
feet of lawn area.
Only if excessive numbers of
white grubs are found should
chemical treatment be necessary.
If the grubs are definitely re-
stricted to one area of the lawn,
treat the infested area only.
Diazinon or Dursban provide
adequate control and should be
used at recommended rates given
on the chemical container label.
The granular form is easier to ap-
ply and to wash into the soil than
liquid or spray formulations.
After using granules, drag the
grass with a tow sack or water
hose to knock them down to the
soil. Then apply enough water to
soak the granules into the soil at
least to a depth of three to four
inches.
Apply the spray formulation at
the rate of 25 gallons of water, in-
cluding the insecticide, per 1,000
square feet. Then irrigate to wet
the soil three to four inches deep.
Always keep children and pets off
the treated lawn until the grass is
dry.

ed in the publication "White
Grubs in Texas Turfgrass,"
available at the county extension
office.
A "story hour" for children
ages five through 12 will be held
at the Shackelford County
Library August 6-10.
The story telling will be held
from 9:30 until 10:30 a.m. each
day, with different readers volun-
teering for each day.
"All children are invited to
visit our library, and attend the
story hours," said Beia Schkade,
librarian.
Refreshments will be served.
