WEDNESDAY, JULY 16, 1969 Over The Back Fence By Max Smith I'VE OFTEN heard the statement that it is bad luck to kili a cricket that gets into the house; this time of the year and until cold weather homes may be in- fested with these insects and owners are urged not to live with them; they have been known to damage any kind of fabric such as rugs, furn- iture, and drape; this"is es- pecially true if the material is soiled or dirty. Control may be had by spraying the areas outside the doors with lindane or chlordane or a- round the baseboard and dark closets of the house. Don’t live with them be- cause they can do dainage. MITES seem quite active on spruce trees and some bioad- leaf evergreens such as azal- eas, Dry hot weather favors their build-up. Property - PRINTING should be bought as an investment designed to accomplish some definite purpose, whether it be used to stim- ulate sales or enhance prestige. Its value to you lies not in what it cost, owners are reminded of the need of sprays using cygon, kelthane, or tedion. In the past week we have noticed several plantings of spruce trees that were infected; the needles on the interior part of the tree turn a rusty brown and fall off. Azalea leaves will also appear to be a rust brown. If uncon- trolled, these mites will ruin a large percentage of the leaves or needles. Several sprays at weekly intervals will be required. These same materials will control red spiders or mites on any oth- er type shrub or tree. THIS TIME of the year many home gardeners may have trouble with their early pick- ings of tomatoes having a rot on the bottom of the to- mato; this darkened aiea may spread to nearly half of the under-surface of the tomato. In many cases this 1s clue to the lack of uriiorm moisture in {ie soil; plants in 2 heavy clay or 'o soi net holding moisture will nave more trouble. Growers may help prevent this rot- ting by irrigatins plants ev- ery week, or by mulching the ground between thc piants. Both of these practices put together will assure a steady moisture supply and a larger crop of tomatces. THE PRACTICE of ordering seed supplies several months before they are needed is a good practice. The sumner seeding of alfaifa should be made early ia August and winter oats should go into the ground in about eight weeks, followed by winter barley and wheat. Highest yields may be atiained by planting certified seeds of adapted varietie: of these crops. Some suppiies of these popular varieties may not meet the demand and the farmer will have to take some unknown kind. Grow- to place their for these seed in order to get what is wanted. The costs of plant- ing anda harvesting will be the same on an unknown variety as on the hest adapt- ed variety that is available Our Extension Agroncmy Guide may be oi help in sel- ecting good varieties and is available wiian uv, cost. ers are urgad orders early The U.

Why can’t life’s problems hit us when we are 18 and know everything? but in what it accomplishes. Let THE BULLETIN Do Your Printing Phone 653-4400 Mount Joy THE BULLETINMOUNT JOY, PA.
