REMEDY FOUND BY ACCIDENT.
CURE FOR GRUB THAT DEFIED EXPERTS.

discovered a recently method of destroying the "enther jacket," the rub of the daddy long-legs, or erane fly, which causes enormous destruction to lawns and bowling greens,

Venner wus employed by the Parka Department of Bourne- mouth Corporation in tending the bowling green on the cliff at West- bourne.
One day he was called from his work while watering the green, and placed the hose, with the water still- running, on one of the small rubber mnts used by bowlera.
When he returned and lifted the mat on the swamped patch of green he found thousands of "leather, jackets," which ho swept
up.
"He reported his discovery to the parks superintendent, who recently had great trouble with leather jackets" on the local bowling greens, Green Saved.
