Lawns Need Care Insects Can Cause Expensive, Unsightly Damage To Grassy Yards Homeowners seem to do a lot of worrying about the pests that damage their lawns, ranging from invading weeds to dry weather. Insects are often suspected, but chances are fairly good that they are not a major factor in most cases of lawn damage. But they can be. Insects that bother lawns in North Carolina include grubs, sod webworms, army worms, cut worms, chinch bugs and leafhoopers, explain N.C. Agricultural Extension Ser vice specialists. You may have grubs in your lawn, if the grass is dying in spots and if the roots are damaged so the grass can be rolled up like a carpet. Damage to lawns from birds or animals also indicates the presence of grubs. Grubs are the immature stage of several different kinds of beetles. They are whitish or grayish with a brown head, and vary from one-half to two inches in length. Most grubs spend about a year in the ground and may damage grass roots anytime during the growing season If you find more than one grub per square foot of lawn, treat with diazinoo. Diazinon is sold as SpectracKte. Use this and aU pesticides only by label directions. Sod webworms, ar myworms and cutworms feed on the leaves and stems of grass plants, causing scat tered. irregular brown pat ches in lawns. To detect these pests, closely examine the sod late in the afternoon. Apply an insecticide if you find one or more armywornu or cut worms per square foot of lawn area. Apply an insecticide if vou see five or more sod web worms per square foot. The in secticides you can use include Diazinon, Sevin, Dure ban and Proxol. I Chinch bugs are primarily a pest of fescues and biuegrasses in the mountains and of St. Augustine gran in the Tidewater and Coastal Plain. Damage appears as yellowish spots, which rapidly turn brown and die. Injury is caused by both the immature chinch bug, which is bright red, and adult chinch bugs which are one-sixth inch long with Mack and white mark ings. Chinch bugs can usually be found by pushing the grass to one tide and examining the base of the plants at the soil surface. You can also trap chinch bugs in a can of cold water. Cut both ends out of a metal can and push one end into the soil. Pill the can with water. If chinch bugs are present, they will float to the surface within five minutes Examine three or four places in the suspected area If six or more bugs are found within a six-inch diameter area, treat with Diazinon, Sevin or Dursban BARGAIN NEW YORK (AP) - One of radio's first success stories oc curred in August of in when the Queensboro Corp.

Because many snrall business owners are not familiar with the tax re quirements of the federal government, they are surpris ed when they discover they are in serious trouble with the Internal Revenue Service. In the good old days, small business owners filed tax returns once a year but now must file four times a year. The sole proprietor files a schedule C which lists both profits and losses, from either business or profession, with his IRS Form 1040. Profits or losses are then transferred to the 1040 form. As a sole pro prietor, you also file schedule SE, which lists self employment taxes, with his 1040. This schedule indicates your contribution to Social Security. Of course, there is no matching employer contribu tion. If you neglect to fill out Schedule SE, you may find yourself with a very small Social Security check when you retire. If your business is a partner ship, you file Form 1065, Schedule K, and one Schedule K-l for each partner Each partner reports his share of profits or losses on Schedule E and transfers the figure to his Form 1040. Corporations file their taxes on Form 1120, and the business owners report salaries and dividends on their individual Form 1040's. Sub-chapter S corporations submit an information Form 1120 S and report individual earnings on Form 1040. You might think it strange to talk of taxes in the middle of summer, but remember that the IRS requires quarterly tax payments each year. These estimated paymeots are filed on Form 1040 ES and are due on April IS. June 15. September 15 and January 15. Penalties and interest are charged if the payments are not on time The IRS offers excellent tax guides for the small business owner.
