Over
The
Back
Fence
By Max Smith
ROSES can be beautiful
but take regular attention
during the growing season;
the present threat is from
black spot because of the
dark, damp weather in the
past week; these black spots
are from the size of a dime
to a half dollar on the upper
surface of the leaves and
will cause the leaves to fall
and reduce the vigor of the
plant. Because this disease
is spread by fungus with wa-
ter and moisture, it is best
to. keep the leaves as dry as
possible and rake up the old,
dead leaves and remove them
Spray weekly with folpet,
maneb, or dithano M-22 for
best control. If the rose bed
has not been fertilized this
spring, it may be treated at
once, or after the first crop
of blooms.
WITH adequate moisture
during the past week turf
grasses will be growing
rapidly and mowing will be-
come a larger chore; in most
cases I'd advise that the
lawn clippings be removed
from the area in order to
prevent the buildup of a
heavy thatch; with real
heavy growth some smother-
ing and yellowing of the
grass may result if the heavy
clumps of mowed grass are
not removed. Many lawn
owners are having t rouble
with disease and bare spots
in their lawns; it is the feel-
ing of turf authorities that
many of these conditions may
be due to the heavy thatch
on the area that prevents
moisture, fertilizer, and air
from getting in to the root
zone of the plants. De-thatch-
ing or aeration of the area
may give good results.
CHILDREN and farm mach-
inery do not mix and we
call this to the attention of
all farmers at this time of
the year. Many youngsters

are injured or killed by ma-
chinery each year ana safe-
ty practices to prevent this
injury are in order. Roally,
there are just two simpie
rules that would correct the
situation; one would be to
never permit children {to
ride upon farm machinery,
and the other not to allow
them to play in areas where
tractors, machinery, trucks,
or cars "are operating. All
machinery operators are
urged to take time to run
the machinery at a safe
speed and with all safety
guards and shields in place.
This is the age of mechaniz
zation but safety must be
practiced if farmers are to
keep all of their fingers, legs,
and hands, and to make the
machinery investment worth-
while. Usually, speed and
haste will result in a poor
job with the equipment or
injury to someone or some-
thing.
TOBACCO farmers will soon
be preparing their ground
for the 1968 crop; in order
to prevent serious cutworm
damage, why not work some
chlordane or diazinon into
the soil prior to planting?
These insecticides when
worked into the top inch or
two will kill most of the
cutworms for one to two
weeks in advance of planting.
I realize that some growers
may still want to use dield-
rin or heptachlor for this
purpose, but we continue to
discourage the use of these
two materials; there is dang-
er of residue in the follow-
ing feed-grain crops. Also,
growers are urged to be very
sure there is not any atraz-
ine in the sprayer being used
to spray the tobacco ground;
atrazine will injure the to-
bacco plants and gradually
kill them.

Never be afraid of what
other people say if you are
sure that you approve what
you have done.

Q. When you become 13,
people begin saying, “Now
you're old enough to . ., .”
Mom'’s latest dictum is that now
I'm old enough to take over
spring cleaning my room — in-
cluding window washing and
bedspread cleaning. Sounds like
a real drag — have any short.
cuts?
A. Springtime and growing up
have advantages — but spring
cleaning isn’t one of them! Here
are some time-savers. Window-
washing is shortened and sim-
plified with the use of new
Kleen-Ups window washers.
‘These specially treated papers
have their own great window
cleaner that comes to life when
the paper is wetted. Then just
wipe the paper over the win
dow, dry with paper towels. In-
cidentally, Kleen-Ups are great
for mirrors too! If your bed-
spread must be hand-laundered,
simply soak it overnight in the
bathtub. In the morning, rinse
and hang it out to dry. You
have time to spare to whip
up a new spring frock — now
that you're old enough!
Q. Mini, midi, maxi — I'm
mystified! What's the real spring
forecast? 1 don’t want high

hemlines if we're about to be
stormed by the maxi!
A. The spring forecast seems
to be gangly gams and the long-
skirted, high-necked ladylike
look — in other words a mix of
mod and Bonnie-and-Clyde and
whatever else strikes your
fancy! Hemline length is ladies’
choice — and what a relief! If
your last year's dresses are a
mite less than mini — and you
like them that way, you don’t
have to spend the summer
shortening skirts,
Q. Dad says no more Father's
Day gifts, I think because I've
given him a tie every Father's
Day (and Christmas and birth-
day) for the past four years.
Now I'M fit to be tied! Any
original ideas?
A. What about a Father's
Day Feast?. A yummy brunch
with eggs and rolls, and fruits
and sausages, cold cuts and
champagne. A plan-it and fix-
it-yourself brunch will delight
the whole family. Use a sum-
mer-bright color scheme and
compliment it by using Kleenex
paper napkins in the new deep
colors — avocado green, an-
tique gold, or Persian blue. Any
father would love a tailor-made

Roses in Bloom at Hershey
John P. Meszaros, Direct-
or of the Hershey Rose Gar-
dens and Arboretum has an-
nounced that the initial peak
bloom of the 42000 rose
bushes will be early this
year due to unseasonable
weath®r conditions. Early
flowering will begin about
Memorial Day. Full peak
bloom will start approxi-
mately June 9 and continue
thru all of June. It is esti-
mated that there are approx-
imately 3 million rose blooins
at this peak period of flow-
ering. During the summer
months, the 1200 rose varie-
ties continue flowering, with
secondary peak bloom peri-
ods during mid-August and
early October.
Hundreds of shimmering
hybrid teas and glamorous
floribundas take their plac-
es among the numerous
grandifloras, climbers and
old-fashioned roses. The coi-
orful quilt of beauty is fur-
ther enhanced by the decp
green grass paths and ever-
greens. “Breathtaking” is a
mild description of this ov-
erwhelming masterpiece of
beauty.
The All-American Roses
for 1968, Europeana, Miss
All American Beauty and
Scarlet Knight, join the par-
ade along All-American Ave-
nue.
Each ‘year a number of
new varieties of roses are
added to the Gardens. Some
of these are Adventurg, San
Antonio, Lady X, Song of
Paris, and Red Chief.
Each Sunday the Hershey
Rose Gardens & Arboretum
Queen will be on hand to
greet the thousands of visi-
tors. .The Hershey Rose Gar-
dens & Arboretum are open
daily 8 am: to 7 p.m. There
is no admission or parking
charge.
Museum to Open May 30
Doors will swing open for
the '68 season for the Mariet-
ta Old Town Hall Museum
on Thursday, May 30, at 10
a.m. Henry and Miriam Len-
hare, curators, have announc-
ed the ‘‘authentic restora-
tion” will have free admis-
sion and will feature a
country store where cheese
by the piece and home cured
bologna can be bought by
the yard, if desired.
The museum was acquired
by the Lenherts from Mari-
etta Boro Council when the
question of maintaining the
three-story structure was op-
ened for consideration.

STUDY ROSES AT HOME
A correspondence course
in Rose Gardening is avail-
able from Penn State univer-
sity. It is especially prepared
for gardeners growing roses
in beds or borders, and in-
cludes know-how on selec-
tion, planting, and care of
out-door grown roses. Write
Box 5000, University Park,
Pa. 16802, and request a list
and description ~ of other

and gardening courses offer
ed by -Penn State for a small
fee.
20 years, the Mariettians em-
barked on a long range pro-
gram for complete restora-
tion. Starting on the first
floor, relics that were hous-
ed in the building for many
years, boro equipment (anti-
quated) and items loancd
from interested citizens were
placed on display. The town
clock, made in Troy, N. Y.
was erected around 1847,
with a brass bell molded in
London, England. The works
extend to the first floor from
the tower on the roof, thrce
weights, with a total pound-
age of 750, are wound by a
hand crank, near the belfry.
Lawn grass is the biggest
“agricultural” enterprise in
several states. Under heavy
urbanization the value of
the lawngrass comes to ex-
ceed that of the leading agri-
cultural crops.
BEANY IDEAS
The ancient Egyptians of
2000 years before Christ coi:-
sidered beans the emblem of
life. The Greeks and Rom-
ans, besides eating them,
cast votes with them for
their favorite magistrates;
white beans were “pro” and
colored beans ‘‘con.”
