Paul H. Lehigh. ' Federal-State Market News Service GARDEN NOTES SLUGS With the cool fall weather, slug activity increases, and with the first fall rains these pests begin their egg laying. Most home garden crops are not particularly susceptible " slug activity at this time, how ever some perennial flowers and fall garden crops may be attacked by these pests. Metaldahyde baits or dusts are recommended for control. These will be obtained at the local garden supply stores. Slug control is a continuing process around the home and garden. Now is a good time to reduce slug populations, , WASPS Yellow jackets and other wasps are often a problem in the Fall. Where numerous these Insects can be con trolled with modern pesti cides. Chlordane, Dicldrln or Aldrin dust applied near the entrances to their nests is very effective. It should be remembered that chemicals are best ap plied at night since there is less chance of being stung at that time. Where nests cannot be locat ed some control can be ob tained by baiting these pests. Ground meat or fish baited with lead arsenate, one tea spoon to one-half pound, will help reduce wasp populations. This bait is carried to the nest where both the young and adult wasps feed on it. However, since lead arsenate is a poison it should not be used where it would . en danger children or pets. FALL BUGS A number of insects which invade the homes every fall and annoy home owners, are showing up again this year. As the nights cool down and fall approaches, Box El der bugs (Maple bugs), grass bugs and root weavils work their way into homes looking for a place to hibernate dur ing the winter. These insects are annoying but are not dangerous or de structive. Screening out is the best method of control and where only a few appear, sweeping out or removing with a vacuum cleaner is the simplest method of control. Where abundant, residual sprays on the outer surface of the house using strong solu tions of Chlordane' or DDT will help to reduce the inci dents of these pests in the home. , However, since these bugs are moving in from the sur rounding area It is extremely difficult to completely con trol these pests with sprays, especially if there is an abundance of Maple trees in the area. :. ; HOME FRUITS Development of better me thods for the growing and care of home fruits enables everyone to enjoy his own home orchard and supply the family with tree-ripened fruits, says the American As sociation of Nurserymen. . Small fruits, like strawber ries and bush fruits, like rasp berries, likewise are easy to grow. A half hour of mild outdoor exercise a week during the growing season is all that it requires to raise dwarf, or standard fruit trees. By using a push-and-pull sprayer and any well-known, all-purpose spray, it takes less than a half-hour to spray a dozen standard trees. About all that is required otherwise is ; to fertilize once a year and use a hose occasionally when na tural rainfall doesn't suffice. Dwarf trees six to eight feet apart in a hedgerow, is a new wrinkle being tried out by home agricultural experi ment stations and commercial fruit growers. On the home property the , row of. ftuit trees can serve a triple pur pose: as a hedge, as spring flowering trees, and for the delicious fruit; while it also greatly reduces the time in caring for the trees. Almost everyone has yard space for a row of dwarf trees. Given good soil, straw berries require little care ex cept weeding when the plants are small and an occasional watering in dry weather. New varieties in recent years have been developed that have im proved flavor and bear more profusely. The bush fruits, if you wish to grow them that way may require little or no care. ' -y this: take about a dozen bush fruits and plant them in a row at the rear of the lot. In a few years you'll have all the raspberries, or blackberries other bush fruits your family can eat, with enough left over to make jam. They'll bear better if cultivated and the old canes cleared away, but if you don't mind a thick berry paten at the rear of the prop erty you don't even need to do this and you'll still get plenty of fruit of excellent quality.

I William R. - My father slapped met Mrs. F.R. - They are both too fiery-tempered: . e , e e - i .. ; William R. - Does a fellow of 18 have a right to his own privacy or must he be at his parents'1 beck and call 'until he is able to leave home? All I ask is to be let alone, but that seems to be too much. I am considered - an above average student : and I am starting college this fall.. I do a great deal of reading - on scientific subject! and-1 don't like to be disturbed. My par ents seem to think I should drop everything and entertain their stupid friends. ; The other evening my fath er slapped-me for being what he called "fresh.", The . next time a thing ilike that hap pens, they'll : never see me again. ' i Mrs. F.R. . The - trouble is that Bill is a lot like his father, fiery-tempered. He has always shown great hostility toward his father and some times even tries to tell me I should leave him. ,"'. Lately, Bill has been acting up in front of guests. He'll get into an argument with his dad and then-stalk out of- the room. If the. someone comes well as a-means for whole some family garden living; then indulge ' yourself with gardens of the special- flow ers you love, most In this way you create something of great beauty t through sound care of the plants.. This truly is the 'purest of human plea sures,' and it does far more for the gardener -and his fa i ily than It does for the-plants themselves," it is said; . . i to visit he'll remain locked in his. room,' even ; if our friends knock on the door and ask to see him. , Recently ; he stalked out ot the house without even nod ding to our guests, who had greeted him. That's when his father slapped him. I guess he shouldn't have - done it in front of people. e . e The Council: Difficult as it may be to be patient with a youth like Bill at this stage, we urge these parents to make the effort. The last thing Bill needs is to be humiliated in public by his father. Bill's haughty attitude is a dead giveaway of lack of as surance. His severe conflict with his father intensifies his determination to trust and like nobody. Yet just beneath the sur face, we envision a very friendly, warm-hearted young man. The fact that guests in the R. home seek him out when they come to visit is a pretty good sign that Bill likes people and would prefer to make himself agreeable - if he could do so without loss of face. , We suspect that Bill wants most what he resists most -his father's friendship. And very likely, the same is true for Mr. F.R. He is hurt by his son's hostility. Confused as to how to win his affection, he strikes out against him, de manding what he least wants - cut - and - dried obedience, cold respect. It would help a boy like Bill to ' go to college away from home for a time. If this isn't possible, he should be encouraged to get a job and go all, out for college activi ties! The more assurance he builds up, the more his hos tility tifcvard his father will dissolve. , ;'! We suspect that Mr.' F.R.'s slap' hurt him more than iti hurt Bill. But he shouldn't brood about it. When there is a reasonably firm foundation of love between parent and child, such incidents are taken in stride by the child. The parent, however, may let it stand between them as a bar rier to improving the relation ship. ' , ' - ' , (Copyright 1960. . ' General Features Corp.)

Main, Medford SP 3-5388 VIA DENVER AND OMAHA HELPS GARDENER , Planting and caring for lovely shrubs and trees on the home property provides healthy, exercise, relaxation from everyday tensions, peacefulness and comfort. : According to the American Association of Nurserymen, garden living affords Indivi dual, as well as family, plea sure and entertainment. Fran cis Bacon called gardening the "purest of human pleasures." "Surprisingly enough'' says the Association, "planting and landscaping also more than pays for itself in the in increased resale value of the property." - How do you plan a garden for health and pleasure? First , you list the plants which appeal most to you and your family. Nursery cata logues have - long lists of plants from which to choose. Next you get the advice of a good landscape nurseryman to tell you where to plant the things you like best, as well as how to arrange the plant ing for wholesome garden -living. Gear the individual planting which you will care for yourself to the amount of garden exercise and relaxa tion you desire. A garden of two dozen rose plants will take less time than an hour or so of . attention once a week, ' including watering. About the same applies to ca mellias, azaleas, perennials and other plants. A half doz en dwarf fruit trees will consume about an equal amount of time. Lawns take somewhat longer, according to their size, mainly because of the mowing. Many shade and flowering trees and ever greens require little, if any time. They may or may not need occasional spraying or pruning or feeding depend ing on the type and the fer tility of the soil. "If you Consider garden ing to be work," advise the nurserymen, '"then plant trees and shrubs which , re quire little or no work to maintain.
