Va. -(Science Service)- Now is the best time for the home gardener to start the ofensive against the Japanese beetle. The bee tle is best fought, under ground. Adult beetles feeding on plants have just left destruc tive evidence of their pres ence. However, there is an other stage in the beetle's life cycle when it is equally de structive, warns Dr. David O. Quinn, entomologist at the West Virginia University here. This is when the pest is a grub, present in the soil from August of one year until May of the next, s . Right now, while the Japa nese beetle grub is beginning its first heavy feeding, is the time to treat lawns with soil insecticides, Dr. Quinn sug gests. . . Formula Given Applications of either diel drin, chlordane or heptachlor will control the grubs for three to five years, he said. For each 1,000 square feet of lawns, the following amounts of insecticide are needed: dieldrin, one and one-third pounds of five percent; chlor dane, five pounds of five per cent; heptachlor, two and three-quarters pounds of two and a half per cent. The lawn must be thoroughly watered after tne insecticide is ap plied. This gets, the material down in the soil near the plant roots, where the grubs feed. . Do not try to fight the Jap anese beetle adults next year, urges Dr. Quinn. Buy mater ials recommended and use them correctly on your lawn before the end of August.

'Canned' Pilots, Crew Said Next Aviation Wrinkle Washington-(Science Serv- ice)-Canning a bomber pilot and his crew in individual packages is the coming wrin kle in military aviation. Each crewman will seal himself into a. little tear shaped bubble that he can eject from the airplane at will. Such an arrangement was to have been incorporat ed in the B-58-B delta-winged Hustler, the bomber which the Air Force recently 'scratched" for reasons never made public. Observers believe, however, the principle of "canning" pilot and. crew may ultimately be adapted to the operational B-58. -. Being Developed A canned cockpit is now being developed for the Navy by Chance Vought Aircraft, Inc., Dallas, and at least one other company is expected to announce a similar project soon. . Vought's single canned cockpit might be first tried in the Navy's F8U-1 Crusader fighter but would be useful in other aircraft or manned space vehicles, the company said. In an emergency, the pilot would actuate a series of lev ers or buttons. This would produce a minor explosion to separate the cockpit unit from the airplane. A small, pow erful rocket beneath the unit would hurl the cockpit up and away from the rest of the plane. Then with extending fins and speed brakes, the pilot would guide the capsule toward the ground until a cluster of parachutes could take over.. . t . To carry its own air, the pressurized capsule" means to the airman that he no longer will be inconvenienced by an oxygen mask, personal para chute, bail-out oxygen supply and other bulky flight gear. The idyllic goal is to enable the pilot to perform his job "in shirt-sleeve comfort," said the Navy. The capsules will be de signed to float when dropped in the ocean. The man in side will find a survival kit, including rations, maps and a radio. If successful in tests, canned quarters represent an almost certain trend for future mili tary planes flying above 63, 000 feet-the altitude at which a man must wear a partial pressure suit to prevent his blood from boiling. In con trast to "stepping" into a canned cockpit and sealing himself in quickly, it takes 30 minutes for a pilot to don a partial-pressure suit which sqneezes like an aggressive girdle. After being proved success ful for one type of plane, the services wil probably try it on 4 a more dangerous type of plane " using it where it works best, the Air Force said. At present, all high speed, high-altitude bailouts are dangerous. MARRIAGE LICENSE APPLICATIONS David Lee Cox, route 1, Talent, and Shirley Kay O'Brien, 828 Wal nut st., Klamath Falls.

' One family was evacuated late Tuesday and a number of homes were threatened by the wind-fanned blaze before it was brought under control. About 50 acres of brush, new growth timber and grass burned m the canyon. Earlier, another fire in the Four Corners area, also near Salem, burned about 400 acres of grass and some tim ber. Firemen said it took about three hours to control this blaze and farmers pa- trolled the area Tuesday night and this morning. No homes were threatened in the second blaze.
