Hay Spoilage, Mold
Products Assailed

There are no known compounds
or chemicals that can be used prac-
tically for prevention of mold, spoil
age or spontaneous combustion in
hay that has been stored too wet,
according to John Magruder, extern
sion agronomist at the University
of Maryland.
Mr.. Magruder warned farmers
against the purchase of products
offered to prevent such spoilage.
The only safe way to curing hay
he said, lis to dry it down to Is
per cent moisture before putting it
In the barn, or to install a properly
designed forced draft system for
finishing the curing in the barn"

Better late than early Is the ad-
vice Of plant scientists when 1t
comes to gathering roses. Blooms
cut in the late afternoon-about 5
o'clock-keep longer than those cut
in early morning. This is probably
because leaves and stems have more
carbohydrates at the end of q
sunny day.
The scientists offer these tips to
prolong the life of cut roses. Use
a sharp knife to remove the blooms
from the bushes and make long,
slanting cut. A smooth-cut surface
allows the water to flow easily into
the stem. A long slant to the cut
prevents the absorbing surface from
being closed off if the end Of the
stem happens to press against the
bottom Of the vase.
The first step in conditioning a
rose after 1t has been cut is to get
the bloom full of water. The
scientists advise removing the
leaves on the lower part OF the
stem because they decay in water
and promote the growth of bacteria
which plug up the tubes and cause
the flowers to wilt for lack Of water.
Most of the water is absorbed at
the base of the stem: very little
goes through the leaves. For this
reason there is no advantage to
plunging the roses up to their necks
in water.
AS for chemical substances, such
as aspirin and quinine, which are
sometimes used in an effort to pro-
long the freshness Of roses, the
scientists say that tests have failed
to show that any Of these are no.
ticeably effective.
The second step in conditioning
cut roses Is to put the vase In q
cool place-even in the refrigerator,
If there is room-for several hours
or overnight Immediately after the
flowers are cut.

garden. In the early stages plants
given these spacings will seem pitt
fully small and almost lost. How
ever, with adequate spacing they
will make rapid growth and should
produce husky plants. II pinched
once or twice during tbs growing
season they will also be bushy and
produce many Towering branches.
This Is especially desirable for
petunias, zinnias, larkspur, dahlias,
etc.
Plants which are to be used for
mass effect may have the rows much
closer although that viii make Guilt
vation and cutting more difdcult.
Edging plants, such as the sweet
alyssum and dwarf ageratum planted
In single row may be set tribe
closer than indicated in the table,
although it will take longer for them
to develop and there will be some
tendency for them to be leggy. How
ever, If they are trimmed few
times they will bush out and stay
fairly low.
The measurements given In the
table are for the more common
varieties. They will need TO be
varied for the stronger growing or
for the dwarfer varieties. The gar
dener will also need to make some
allowance for the richness or the
poorness Of his soil. A poor soil will
not produce as strong growing
plants as one that is rich and con-
tains SUFFICIENT moisture to produce
good growth. Plants in q rich
garden soil need more space. On the
other hand you may say that in a
poor soil the roots will need to 60
further and require q larger area
from which to get the necessary
food and moisture.
This emphasizes the Importance
Of the individual gardener adjust
ing the width between rows and the
spacing of this plants within the
row to his cultural practices. Good
culture-adequate feeding, cultiva-
ton, and watering and disease con-
troll, permit Of closer spacing than
where. less care Is bestowed Upon
the flower beds.

ment of disease. Air does not cir
culate readily among crowded plants
and that, too, favors disease. Surely
these reasons are evidence enough
that we must give our plants proper
spacing-room to work among them,
space in which the air can circulate
and the sun reach the leaves, and
room for the roots to obtain needed
plant food and moisture.
The following table gives the
usually recommended spacing be-
tween plants In the row. In addi-
ton, the space between the rows Is
indicated where 1t is desired to
have a bit of room to work among
the plants when mature, or where
they are to be planted in cutting

Small Care
Includes Mulching
OF Strawberries

To meet increasing interest In
small fruit paintings, Bruce Aroian,
assistant horticulturist for the Vir-
ginia Extension Service, has out
Lined pointers in spring and summer
care Of strawberries, raspberries and
grapes.
Mulch strawberries with several
inches of straw or pine needles be-
tween the matted bearing rows to
retain soil moisture and keep the
ripening berries from becoming
soiled and gritty, he advises. Ten
days to two weeks after the straw
berries are harvested, generally
sometime between July l and Is,
renovate the old planting by plow-
ing out all but a 6-inch strip Of the
rows OF strawberries that have been
harvested. Rake over this 6-inch
strip and remove excessive plants.
To stimulate new plant produc-
ton, use teaspoonful Of ammon-
ium sulphate or other heterogeneous
fertilizer around each one Of this
springs plants about a month after
they are set out. Another must in
a new strawberry planting, says
Mr.. Aroian, is to de-blossom the
plants their first year. Cultivate
in and around the plants at weekly
intervals during the summer to
establish soft mulch.
For satisfactory raspberry pro-
duction, remove all old canes that
bore fruit in previous years. 1t is
in this old wood that cane spot
anthracnose, and other virus dis
eases develop. Prune or top several
inches from black and purple rasp-
berry plants about the time the
young shoots are about 20 to %
inches high. This will help stiffen
the canes so they will not need sup
port and so they will send out sec
ondary branches. Prune all canes
Of red and black raspberries ex-
cept the eVerbearing variety, In
dian Summer, Immediately after
harvesting.

should be tied erect to a stake to
establish a good straight main
trunk. If pruning has been neg
lected, prune now even though there
will probably be some bleeding for
the average home vineyard. Follow
a regular spray schedule to control
bitter rot, black rot and mildew
Spray schedules for all small fruit
paintings can be obtained from your
county agent.
