nutrition education messages are

of men responding to a recent

about nutrition.
Younger men were more likely to
be concerned about physical fitness;
eating for health was of more concern
to older men. Only half of the sur

use of credit is advisable. Before
increasing the amount of your con

How much credit you can safely

Illnesses affected by a persons
People who worry about time
constantly about wasting it, losing
it or fretting that "lime is running
out" are suffering from a life
threatening ailment called "hurry
sickness."
It's a major underlying cause of
the entire range of chronic and de
generative diseases including heart
disease, ulcers, high blood pressure
and possibly even cancer. People who
suffer from "hurry sickness" are
susceptible to every type of stress
related ailment, because all illness is
affected in some way by a person's
sense of lime.
Master gardeners available
Master Gardener's are available
to answer gardening questions for
the public in several Oregon com
munities. "In 1992 Master Gardeners will
be staffing Master Gardener Clinics
or answering telephone gardening
questions at Extension Offices in
Medford, Grants Pass, Albany,
Corvallis, Eugene, Portland, Salem,
Baker . City, Klamath Falls,
Tillamook, Newport, Redmond,
Bend, The Dalles and Astoria.
If you have questions about gar
dening or gardening problems, visit
the local Master Gardener Clinic,
usually set up in a shopping mall or
gardening center. A Master Gardener
will be on duty to answer questions
or discuss problems that deal with
gardening.
The Master Gardener program is
open to all interested citizens, and is
intended to provide interested people
with a fundamental knowledge of
gardening.
Master Gardeners learn funda
mentals by attending a series of lec
ture sessions held in many Oregon
communities early in the year. The
sessions are taught by OSU Exten
sion agents and horticulture specialists.

The next time you use animal
health products, think of yourself as
a food safety specialist. Take extra
care to watch how and where you

Studies indicate that injecting

Proper amounts of water important for plant
Water can be both good and bad
for plant-life. The amount is the key.
Water is an essential ingredient for
every phase of plant growth and de
velopment. Water helps seeds ger
minate, transports vital nutrients
within the plant, and even helps keep
plants cool in hot summer days
through a process called transpira
tion. But improperly applied water can
be a leading cause of problems with
fruit trees and other plants in the
home landscape. It's easy to over
water plants grown in heavy clay
soils and to underwater those grown
on sandy, well drained soils.
Over-watering literally drowns the

Most water-related problems with
fruit trees and ornamental shrubs in
the landscape can be remedied with a
simple change in watering practices.
By knowing how to water, when to
water, and how much to apply, water
practices can be fine-tuned to pro
vide just enough water for best plant
growth.
Overhead sprinkler irrigation, for
instance, is fine for the lawn, but it is
not an ideal method for watering
fruit trees and shrubs. Frequent wet
ting of the foliage with overhead
irrigation will provide an ideal envi
ronment for the spread of leaf spot
diseases and mildew.

Plant diseases effect foliage and fruit of apple trees
Most plant diseases produce ugly
effects on foliage and fruit. Apple
scab is no exception. It is common in
home apple orchards. Apple scab
causes brown, scabby blotches on
the surface of apples. Often these
scaly, crusty areas become cracked.
When the spots overlap, the cracking
may be severe.
In addition to apple trees, the dis
ease also attacks flowering apples. In
the spring, the disease first appears
on the blossoms and leaves as olive
green spots with uneven feathery
margins. The spots on the leaves turn
brown-black, become raised and take
on a velvety appearance. On the fruit,

12. Select the best route of admin
istration; whenever possible give
injections SubQ (under the skin).
13. Choose the best site for the
injection where the product will be
the most effective, with the least
possible risk of damage to valuable
cuts of meat.
14. Choose the correct size and
length of needle that will ensure the
vaccine gets into the animal's system
properly, with the least possible risk
of tissue damage.
15. Use the proper injection
technique, SubQ or IM (intramuscu
lar). If the label calls for SubQ ad
ministration, use the "tent" method
to get the product just under the skin
and not into the muscle.
16. Sanitation is essential. Good
practices can reduce the risk of
spreading infection from one animal
to another, reduce the chance of
contaminating the vaccine, and re
duce injection site reactions.

correctly on the back side of the ear,

moles at work in your la wn or garden.
Moles can be controlled by using
traps or poison baits or a combination
of both.
In the lawn or garden, a trap may
be the best method because few moles
are usually involved.
No matter which method is used,
mole control can be difficult. Traps
or poison bait must be placed care
fully in the main mole runway for
best control results. A suggestion
would be to dig back along one of the
lateral tunnels leading from a mound
until the main tunnel is located. In

scab spots appear as rough , dark green
areas on the end or side of the apple
and eventually cause it to be mis

Apple scab spreads quickly from
early infections to other leaves and
young fruits, causing both leaves and
fruits to drop. Scab continues to
spread through the growing season
whenever moisture is present from
rains, irrigation or dew.
Because scab is spread so easily,
the best method of control is by the
application of fungicides. Up to four

Chlorine bleach
Although some people consider
chlorine bleach a harsh ingredient to
use on babies' clothes, tests show
babies are much more sensitive to
bacteria remaining in diapers than to
ingredients used in laundry products.
So, use chlorine bleach to kill the
bacteria that causes diaper rash. It
whitens, deodorizes, and disinfects.
Pour recommended amount into a
bleach dispenser or dilute in four
parts water. Mix one cup bleach in
four cups water for an average load.
Pour into the washer after it has filled
with water and has begun to agitate.
Never pour undiluted bleach into the
washbasket or directly onto diapers.
This will weaken the fabric.
Diapers that have been softened
with fabric softeners pin more easily,
wrinkle less, feel soft and smell fresh.
But be sure to avoid overusing the
softener no more than once every
3-4 laundering. Overuse will make
diapers less absorbant.
Probably one of the most common
laundering errors is washing in water
that is too cold. If a garment is ma
chine washable, the only reason to
use cold water is to protect bright
colors, or to wash out protein stains
like egg, blood, milk or baby formula
that are set by hot water.
When water is too cold, it can't
help dissolve the detergent, especially
powdered ones. The detergent must
dissolve in the wash solution before
soil can be removed. Clothes con
tinually washed in cold water can
become dingy from the build-up of
soil residue. Undissolved detergent
can deposit on clothes, too, and leave
streaked white or powdery stains. If
you are using cold water washes for
some laundry items, avoid ice cold
water. Below 60 degrees most de
tergents don't work right, even cold
water detergents. Remember that oily
