Dr. James S. Grim, 75, former head of the science department at Kutztown State Teachers college, died yesterday in a Reading hospital.
Dr. Grim was a native of Bucks county and a member of a family of distinguished professional men.
He was a well-known horticulturist and gained recognition in this state for his discovery of a parasite which feeds on the San Jose scale. The propagation of this parasite was largely instrumental in the virtual elimination of the scale which threatened to destroy the apple orchards of the state.
He was a brother of the late Harry E. Grim, Perkisie and Webster Grim, outstanding member of the Bucks county bar.
