If you are, this is the season to think about it There are two seasons for lawn plantings One is in the spring, from April to June, the other is in the fall, from September to the middle of October. These seasons take advan tage of nature's willingness to do your watering Seed won't germinate in cold soil, so the fall choice is a little shorter and more risky than in the spring There are basically two ways to put in a new lawn You can seed, or you can buy and lay a prepared turf Lying turf is the quickest way to get a new lawn If done right, it bypasses the awkward, weedy stage of a new seeding It cost a bit more, and your timing must be sharp You can’t waste • Plant or transplant rhododendrons, ins • Plant cool season annual (lowers from seed • Spray holly for leaf and twig blight • Pul houseplants inside east of Cascades • Take rhododendron cuttings • Bait for slugs with metaldehyde • It grasshoppers invade garden, spray with Sevin or m alathion • In the Willamette Valley late corn may need protection from earworm. Spray new silks with malathion Protect bees • Remove and store tuberous begonias if frost threatens • Copper spray ot peach and cherry trees • Spray for bacterial canker ot blueberries • Spray for leaf and cane spot in trailing berries • Spray for lumper twig blight • Spray tor Berckmann s blight in arborv'tae Another hazard listed for farm occupations E ve ry fa rm e r knows machinery and stubborn livestock can be dangerous, but many don't recognize fatigue as an equally unpor tant hazard Ixjng hours of hard labor during peak seasons place a heavy dem and on the farmer's physical and men tai resouces which can lead to fatigue, explains Marcelle Straatman, Oregon State University extension human development specialist “ You can recognize fatigue by temporary reduc tions in your capacity to react quickly and in short tempers,'' she said "By paying attention to symptoms, farmers know how much they can expect of themselves, when they're overloading their productivi ty and what can be done to change the situation ” A tired farmer can keep going for a long time using w ill power E ventually, however, the body becomes m ore clu m sy, m ental distraction begins and emo tions become unstable When fatigue nibbles at nerves and positive outlook, the per sonality changes, she said A 1979 survey of Iowa farmers found that stress from fatigue usually stems from exertion of a healthy person which leaves muscles exhausted It also may be a sign of an undetected chronic illness or nervous tension related to frustra tion, difficult decisions, con flicts, delays or seasonal boredom A combination of poor health habits and demanding work during peak planting and harvest seasons cause a lot of fa tig u e among farmers. Straatman said They rush to complete the jobs at hand wile cheating themselves of needed sleep, practice poor food choices and eating routines, and face emotional upsets connected to the job Noisy machinery, stan ding or sitting longs hours in poorly ventilated cabs and inadequate lig h tin g in creases physical fatigue as farmer strain to complete the job Farmers get less rest than they need to replenish ox ygen supplies and to rebuild muscle strength Summer heat adds additional strain as bodies work to maintain c o m fo rta b le body temperatures while sleep ing E m o tio n a l upsets is a n o th e r im p o rta n t fa tig u e fa c to r Hum an c h e m ic a l and nervous systems don't separate real from imagined threats to survival Adrenalin tenses the body for action to avoid a tractor accident or to deal with negative emotions such as fear, anger, resentment or a pp rehension o ver harvesting crops at the pro per time.
