BALFOUIt SUTHBIC SEATTLE PORTLAND - SPOKAMC - MINNEAPOLIS GARDENING TIPS By DON BERRY County Extension Agent SOOTY MOLD "Sooty mold" on the leaves of camellias, holly, and other broadleaf evergreen plants becomes more apparent at this season. ' ' The sooty mold fungus, not harmful to Jhe plant itself, is indirectly caused by scale insects which feed on the plant. These scale secrete a honeydrew which drips to the leaves below. The fungus, ap pearing like soot or a dark dust, feeds on the honeydew. s The scale can be seen on the underside of the leaves or occasionally on the leaf peti oles (stems). They are rather flat, brown, and attached to the leaf. Cottony egg masses are sometimes seen as wsll as the brown scales. Controlling the scale in sects will also control the sooty mold fungus. Malation applied in May or August is the most effective. Some like to use a light summer oil now while the plant is still dor mant and . follow with a Ma lation spray when the wea ther warms up. Both of these materials are available at garden supply stores. Direc tions for use are given on the label. LAWN MOSS Moss in a lawn often indi cates a lack of; soil fertility. Though several factors may encourage the growth of moss, lack of soil fertility is the most important. Too much shade, poorly drained and compacted soils, very acid soils and improper watering may also encourage the growth of moss. Several commercial prod ucts, available at garden supply stores, will effective ly rid a lawn of moss. Fol low the directions on the la bel for using them. A heavy application of ammonium sulfate 8 to 10 pounds per 1,000 square feet -will "burn" out moss if al lowed to remain on the sur face without being watered or "rained" in. The grass, though temporarily damaged, will come back rapidly with the added fertility. Moss can be raked out by hand. If the grass is gone, the raking should be followed by reseeding and top dressing in the spring. Then adopt a good fertilizer program. . Maintaining ' soil fertility through an adequate fertilizer program is very important. A healthy, vigorous turf is sel dom bothered with moss. Acid soils can be corrected by adding lime. Usually, 75 to 125 pounds of lime per; 1000 square feet - every three or four years is sufficient. Poor ly drained and compacted soils can be unproved to some extent by aerating with a hollow-tined fork or aer ator. FERTILIZE LAWN The lawn fertilizer program should be started within the next few weeks. A good lawn fertilizer program is necessary to keep it vigorous and healthy. Vig orous growing grass resists the invasion of diseases, weeds, moss, mushrooms and toadstools. Lawn grass starts growing with the first warm" weather of late winter and early spring. .At the rate of growth increases, so does the amount of fertilizer used by the grass. - Grass grows more in the spring than in any other sea son. Because of this, the spring fertilizer application is very important and should be the largest. Any fertilizer used in the spring should be relatively high in nitrogen. Nitrogen is important for the green color and growth of lawn grass. Further information on fer tilizing lawns is available at per umf CO U I r the extension office, Jackson county courthouse. ONION STORAGE Store onions in a cool, dry, dark plaqe to prevent sprout ing and decay. Ventilated con tainers, such as plastic with holes or a string sack is recommended. SQUASH SEED Squash seed is a by-products of Oregon's vegetable processing industry. The seed is dried and shipped to San Francisco for further processing. One hun dred and fifty thousand pounds are sold for . human consumption through health food stores and roasters. Only 2,000 pounds are used for bird seed. An ; estimated . 10,000 pounds are pulverized for use in Mexico as a diluent for chili . powder and other hot spices. 't One squash seed processor believes that a much larger quantity could be used by; the confection and nut trade if a practical way could be worked out to remove the seed coat. So far such efforts have been futile. Some squash seed oil is used in cosmetics, but I doubt that it is sold under that name. TRANSPLANTED I WATERMELONS Transplanted watermelons are getting a boost from re search workers at Mississippi State college. Advantages of transplanting include a per fect stand, better weed con trol, earlier harvest, higher prices, use of F. hybrid seed (no seed waste). Transplants were grown in greenhouses. Clay pots were found to be unsatisfactory be cause of root binding and difficulty in transplanting by machine. Best pots are those from pressed . manure, then peat, and-then paper. One seed is planted in each three to four inch pot four to six weeks before trans planting time. Temperatures should be kept from 70 to 80 degrees during the day and 65 degrees at night. Hotbeds and even cold frames in some areas could be used for grow ing the transplants. The seedlings should be transplanted to the field when all danger of frost is past. Alanap-e may be spray ed on the field before trans planting to lengthen the weed-free period. Plants should be irrigated immedi ately after transplanting. ' . -; PEAT POTS FOR TOMATOES Peat pots for tomato trans plants also save labor. Early yields can be increased by planting three seeds to each pot and later thinning to one plant per pot.

BORON BOON TO BEETS Relatively large amounts of boron are needed for heavy production of sound beets of good quality. Beans require boron in much smaller amounts. Soils so low in avail able boron which may cause severe blackspot in beets may have enough for normal growth and development of beans and peas. MURPHY'S LAW Although Murphy's law has been discovered only recently by the missile-men, it has been operating in agriculture for a long time, but nobody has recognized it. - This law states, "If it is possible for something to go wrong, it will." . The number of things which can go wrong with a vegetable crop depends on factors not under control. Good ! control means good management and good man agement means doing the right thing at the right time. It's easier to save when yoa save for a definite goal such as a new ear, a vacation, etc. And it's a "happy day" when each goal is reached. - - That's why we originated oar exclusive Happy Day Savings Plan. The idea is to have a separate account clearly marked for each partienlar goal. Save a regular amount weekly or monthly or save - " whatever you can. There are no rules for Happy Day Savings Ac counts. The important thing is to save regularly. Happy Day Savings Accounts earn same high bank interest as regular savings accounts.
