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

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

The U. S. Constitution re-
qu'res a periodic census,
once every ten years. The
census count determines the
number of seats in Congress
to be apportioned to each
state.
Why can’t life’s problems
hit us when we are 18 and
know everything?
but in what it accomplishes.
