One Of the major keys to suc cessful farming, Carl said, “is to listen to the other guy’s ideas.” "I like to talk with other people. I see a lot of things that woik and a lot that don’t,” he said. “I throw all the ideas together and use what I can. Then I go and get done as much as I can as fastas I can. I geta lot done in a hurry. Farming is just a bunch of hard work.” “Work?” his wife questioned. “That’s an understatement” o** 9 * Benefits: • Creates a “plug” between the teats and any new mastitus bacteria that might invade the teats between milkings. • The plug is designed to remain on the end of the teat orifice for up to 12 hours, yet it is easily removed during the propping procedure. • Contains emollients designed to aid in preventing teat chapping and irritation. • The plug remains in place even if the cows lay down in mud or wet bedding. AGWAY DAIRY SERVICE CENTERS C*^) Apparently perfect new plants may develop problems shortly after they have been brought home, and no insects can be found. Some plants respond to a change in environment with yel lowing and dropping leaves. (I have had Ficus benjamina and Dracaena marginata drop leaves when moved from one spot to another in the same room!) If a new plant was chosen with its new location in mind, it will eventually adapt to the change.

Tips For Healthy Holiday Plants HUNTERDON, NJ. A new house plant, even a holiday purch ase, can be a disaster instead of a delight In spite of controls used by plant suppliers, insects may be pint of the purchase. Or transition from greenhouse to shop to home may cause problems. It pays to take some precautions with new plants. Look over interned purchases for pests or signs of pests. Mealy bugs, scales and white fly might actually be seen. If signs of pests discolored, distorted, or sticky leaves are present, choose a diffe rent plant. New plants should always be “quarantined” for a month or so to make sure no insec ts, that might spread to other plants, are “aboard”. Use a sepa rate water container for the newcomers. " r .'v transition to different light level (especially low light) can help. ■Yellowing, browning, dropping leaves could signal a more serious problem. Because of frequent watering, commercial growers use more intense fertilizer applica tions then the home situation requires. In the home setting, when the plant is maintained drier. the salt levels ip the potting mix of a new plant may damage roots and leaves. It is a good idea to water a new plant generously when it’s brought home to wash excess salts away from the toots. There’s gen erally no need to fertilize new plants.
