Retired Chanute businessman J L Taylor notes May beetles or June beetles now infest city flora. The brown beetle pests damage petunias and vegetables while birds, especially sparrows, feed on them. Beetle life cycle spans three years with eggs in soil, white grubs feeding on decaying matter, and larger grubs becoming June bugs. Several insecticidal sprays are suggested including arsenate of lead mixtures and DDT preparations.
