nty nd ur- th- 1a- he Ih- th- at he . use of these weed WEDNESDAY, Over The Back Fence By Max Smith MANY home gardeners with green tomatoes on the vines at frost time are inter- ested in picking these toma- toes and storing them until they ripen. Our vegetable ex- perts inform us this is pos- sible if - handled properly. The tomatoes should be pick- ed before they are frosted and only those that are free from any disease or mechan- ical defect; the tomatoes will ripen best in a dark room at a temperature of 60 to 70 degrees. It is possible to have garden tomatoes ripen- ing for weeks after a killing frost if handled in this man- ner. EARIL FALL is an excellent time to fertilize the lawn; many turf areas have al- ready been fertilized; in some cases. a weed control herpicide can be used with the fertilizer. I'd like to pre- sent a word of caution in the control materials. There is little question that they will con- trol many weeds but some of tham may also be washed in.o the soil and down a- roind the roots of trees and shrubs and do damage. Home owners are urged to read the instructions and follow them carefully; some materials should not be used under any tree or shrub. Serious damage to trees has been ex- perienced in some areas. If plants show herbicide dam- age, there is little that can be done to stop the absorp- tion of the chemical; they can be kept well watered and fertilized early in the Spring. I'M AWARE that many far- mers are anxious to get their winter grain seeded as soon as possible; already we have requests about being the time 10 seed Winter wheat. Usual- ly the last week in Septemb- er and the first week in Oe- tober would be suitable to seed the Winter barley in this area. Winter wheat will be improved very little by seeding prior to the second week in October unless gra- zing or green-chopping is to be done to remove the extra growth. Early seeded grains that get a very rank growth in the Fall, without being re- moved. have been known to lodge more severely than those seeded according to the above time. Also, the use of nitrogen on Winter grain in the Fall is question- able on many farms; with the average soil in Lancast- er County little nitrogen is needed and applications could increase the problem of lodging next summer. Phos- phorus and potash fertilizers should be sufficient to devel- op a good root system and strengthen the straw. THE USE of frosted sudan grass or sudansorghum hy- brids needs care in order to prevent poisoning of live- stock. Many dairymen are using this type of forage crop to help with the Summer feeding program. After a kil- ling frost, the crop should not be used in a fresh condi- tion. It should be either made into silage and allowed to ferment for at least 30 days, or permitted to die in the field for at least one week and then used as hay or bed- ding. After the plants are completely dry and dead fol- lowing a frost, they are safe to use. However, new growth coming from the roots after a killing frost is dangerous to use until it would reach a height of 24 to 30 inches.

SCHOOL “Danny Smoker” a neatly dressed 12 yr. old boy visited Maytown eleemntary school Thursday afternoon as part of a program on smoking ed- ucation. Danny is really a dummy, but he smokes real cigarettes and puffs out the smoke! Danny can be turned around to reveal a large op- ening in his back, and in that opening the children can see some of the harmful ef- fects of smoking in Danny's “lungs.” His lungs are real- ly glass jars filled with angel hair. The more Danny NOTES - smokes, the darker his Rees become from the tar and the nicitine settling there. Thase lungs may be only glass jars, but the children get the. mes, sage. This program was presiing under the direction of Mrs. Dorcas Knorr, School Nurse, with the help of the sixth grade teachers in the May- town building. “Danny 8mo- ker” is the property of the tuberculosis and Health Co- ciety of Lancaster County and was accompanied . by Mrs. Richard K.

As we sat on the sidelines for a little while, just watch- ing the people, we couldn’t help wondering what the people of 150 years ago who originally owned the tools, furniture and various other objects, would have thought about the people who were enjoying them on Oct. 5, ’69.

But, we'd predict that the Mount Joy experi- ence indicates anything, that it may be 10 years before the two communities have streets which are as good as they were before the project began. * Washington (From page 2) matched his desire for disen- gagement in Vietnam with deeds.
