The barbecue contestants presented a demonstration on turkey or chicken barbecue and were required to cook either turkey breasts or chicken halves.

SMARTS - IT :y’ -S SURE \ Shock YHUMPIN DAYS a harmless backyard 6 pest’ NEWARK, Del. - Homeowners have been witnessing heavy in festations of an insect known as the box-elder bug. When full-grown, this insect is half an inch long, narrowly oval in shape, and dull black with thin red lines down its back. During cool fall days it sometimes migrates in large numbers to sun-warmed walls of nearby houses and other buildings, looking for a place to hibernate. Though not destructive, bugs that find their way indoors can be a nuisance. Box-elder bugs, as the name indicates, are closely associated with box-elder trees. Since the best control for these pesky insects is to remove or spray nearby box-elder trees, University of Delaware extension horticulturist Dave Tatnall suggests harassed homeowners leam to recognize the tree on sight. The box-elder, or ash-leaved maple (Acer negundo), is a medium-sized tree (40 to 50 feet) with a short, irregular trunk and broad, open crown. Its leaves consist of three to five irregularly toothed leaflets. The young twigs are stout, olive-green to purplish often covered with a bluish-white bloom. The seeds are typical of maples, Hotline ELECTRIC FENCING HIGH POWERED WALL MODEL OPERATES FROM 12 VOLT RECHARGEABLE BATTERY I • COVERED BY I I j .

These seeds often remain on the tree well into the winter. The sexes are separate in the box-elder tree, and it is the seed-bearing female trees that the bugs prefer. They prefer rich, moist soil, but adapt to a variety of growing conditions. Although frequently found along stream bottoms and in moist woodlands, they also occur in many urban and suburban locations. “If box-elder bugs become a serious nuisance around your house and in your neighborhood,” Tatnall suggests, “survey existing trees and note which ones are box elders. If the bugs are an annual problem, it may be desirable to remove some box-elder trees. Those with shade value-especially female trees-can be sprayed during the summer to reduce the number of bugs likely to migrate toward nearby houses come fall. Diazinon or another approved insecticide can be used.” There are also insecticides (such as Sevin, diazinon and malathion) that can be sprayed now on walls of buildings to reduce the adult box elder bug population, says University of Delaware extension entomologist Mark Graustein. • ALL-WEATHER (NON RUST I VERY STRONG POLYCARBONATE CASE IKK am
