she wasn’t. And, unfortunately, it was time to say
something.
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.

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.

“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.
