It’s a subject she knows a lot about. Betsy and her two brothers and one sister have lived their whole lives on the farm. All have owned and cared for their own animals over the years, winning many ribbons and trophies through 4-H. Betsy is especially anxious to quell the nasty rumor that milk is fattening. She notes that man/ foods which people don’t think of as fattening actually have many more calories than milk. (A cup of whole fresh milk has 159 calories; nonfat skim milk just 81 - plus a lot of good nutrition. Compare Rose diseases handled by chemicals FLEMINGTON, N.J. - The number one plant m the popularity contest for use in the home garden is the rose. It is also true that the plant with more disease problems than about any other garden plant, says Spencer H. Davis, Jr., Extension specialist in plant pathology at Cook College, Rutgers University. Two common and troublesome diseases are black spot and powdery mildew, says Dr. Davis. Black spot causes, as the name implies, spots on the leaves that eventually result in loss of leaves. By late Summer all bottom leaves will be dead and gone. The rose may look like a little green umbrella. Powdery mildew doesn’t result in much defoliation, but it coats the leaves and flower buds with a powdery fungus growth. Leaves curl, buds fail to open and plants suffer. Several chemicals prevent one disease or the other. And many garden mixtures have one of each type of chemical in the package. But only two - phaltan and benomyl - give good control of both black spot and powdery mildew. One should apply sprays or dusts regularly, Dr. Davis suggests. Once a week is a good schedule starting now. And the plants will keep their leaves and produce flowers all Summer. There are other diseases, as well as insects, that attack the garden rose. These are described and control recommendations are given in a bulletin called, “Roses for the Home.” In New Jersey one can ask his county agricultural agent for a free copy. He is located in the Hunterdon County Extension Center, Route 31, north of Flemmgton.
