Gingerly, I began a polite but cautious reply. “I’m not sure,” I said slowly. "What exactly is it that they are feeding monkies these days?” Instantly, her face turned red, and she let out a laugh to alleviate the pressure. ****•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Plant lovers’ corner Spray lilacs early to stop mildew Powdery mildew is a fungus disease that attacks many types of plants, but perhaps none worse than the lilac. The white coating becomes so thick on the leaves that many curl and drop off. This in turn reduces the amount of bloom the following Spring. James J. McKeehen, Delaware County agricultural agent says that he sees lilac bushes are often loaded with mildew every August and September. Their owners say that they started to spray as soon as they saw the disease and it didn’t help. It doesn’t help to spray at that time. Rather, spraying must start just after the color fades from the last cluster of flowers. Then the spray must be repeated every week to 10 days, until early July. The best material to combat mildew is benomyl or Benlate at the rate of one tablespoon in two gallons of water. This is also an excellent chemical to control rose mildew. I pu. r if f' P. I. ROHRER & BRO., INC. SMOKETOVUH, PA Lancaster Farming. Saturday, June 25,1977 “Monkey food is a kind of pudding we have out here,” she laughed, tears rolling down her cheeks by this time. To prove her point, she got out her recipe book and pointed her finger at a title which, remarkably, said “Monkey Food.” The concotion sounded very close to cracker pudding, except for one thing- it lacked crackers, a major ingredient, 1 made clear. After a mutual laugh over the misunderstanding, we enjoyed a chat over the nomenclature dif ferences between the two states. She had never heard of sticky buns (and almost thought it was a dirty word, as a matter of fact,) and had no concept of the taste of sweet bologna. By the same token, some Minnesota words were totally foreign to me. For instance, I didn’t know what a sugar beeter was. (Sugar beeters are workers who hoe the beet fields). And, I didn’t know that a "Mullah" was a polled Hereford or that the grove of intertwined trees near the farmhouse provided protection from the northwest wind. But, regardless of the differences m terminology and heritage, my Minnesota host family and I came together on many common grounds for one of the most enjoyable vacations I may ever have.
