possibilities Of hedging for horse
farms. I'm glad to know that
he has given a little boost for
Trifoliata.
Nick says he believes Poncirns
may be more suitable for pad

not have the business Of the
rose. He points out. too. that ap-
parently Poncirus is not affected
by the Japanese beetle.
We are planting Poncirus this
fall on The 40 Acres, and hope
to have our gardens, barn lots
and paddocks fenced with 1t. I
would like also to use II for sci11s

Winter Pasture
Helps Offset Cost
For Doirynon
By R. G. Connolly

Winter dairying, in terms Of
labor, feed and miscellaneous barn
costs, may be as much as 80 per
cent more expensive than dairying
under summer pasture conditions.
Therefore, anything that can be
done to extend the pasture season
into the winter months will help
build up milk production and re-
duce the production costs per 100
pounds Of milk.
Late fall and winter pastures
offer good possibilities, particular
ly in Eastern and Southern Vir-
ginia. If the permanent pastures
and certain hay lands have been
properly fertilizer, fall and winter
rains will stimulate enough forage
growth so that under favorable
weather conditions the herd may
get much low-cost grazing.
If the permanent pastures are
not too good, small grains. singly
or in various combinations, with
or without legumes. offer excel
lent possibilities for winter graz
ing.
Small grains at the usual stage
Of growth are very rich in protein.
Green rye, wheat, oats and barley
may contain more than 20 per
cent protein, when dried and an
alyzed as hay. These small grains
also supply an abundance Of
carotene.
Then there's the value of a few
hours Of good grazing as an ap-
petizer to stimulate feed consump-
ton in the barn. Loss of appetite
means loss in production. This
often happens to dairy herds
under rigid winter feeding condi-
tions.
When cows Craze winter grains,
be on the alert for grassy, off,
flavor milk. Although rye is often
condemned because it will impart
an undesirable flavor to milk, rye
can be grazed so that there is lit
tie danger Of off-davored milk.
1t Is usually best to let the cows
Craze only few hours Immediate
ly after milking so they may spend
about a half day or longer in the
barn eating hay and silage before
the next milking. Balbo rye does
not seem to impart any off-fiavor
to milk, and for that reason is
being used extensively for winter
pasture.
Grazing should be supplement
tary to the barn feeding. Al
though fall-planted grains may
be grazed from time to time with
out damage to the grain yield, a
large herd can do much crop dam
age when grazing a relatively
small field of grain.

Tropical Garden
BY the Associated Press


M1NNEDOSA. Manitoba. In
the village of Newdale, 20 miles
west Of here, Mrs. Morris Lavery is
a gardener-of citrus fruits. Her
tropical indoor garden consists of
a 4-foot orange tree which has
produced two ripe, rich oranges
and a lemon tree which bore a
gigantic lemon, II inches in cir
cumference.
Premature autumn coloring on
trees may indicate low vitality
brought on by drought, lack of
nourishment, insects or diseases.
Sugar maple, one of the most
popular shade trees, is recognized
for its glowing red, orange and
yellow foliage in fall. Brilliance
of color of most plants varies from
year to year. Most spectacular
shows are in Northeastern United
States and Southeastern Canada.

Last weeks furry of cold rains
brought down showers of leaves
which many industrious gardeners
added to their compost piles. How
ever, there are still many who, for
one reason or another, do not con-
vert weeds and. other vegetable
matter into compost. Instead of
burning such material they might
we'll offer it to neighbors. Many
gardeners never have enough COM
post materials to meet their needs
and should be glad Of the oppor-
tunity to secure additional ma
terials. No doubt neighbors who
object to the smoke from burning
leaves will approve of this sug-
gestion.
It is not too early to spade a
portion of flower and vegetable
beds in preparation for early
spring planting. Such a practice
helps to relieve the pressure of
early spring jobs when time is
short and there are many things
to be done. Fall spading consists
of turning under as much weeds,
compost, leaves and other garden
refuse as possible. Do not rake
the freshly spaded ground, but let
nature pulverise the soil by freez-
ing and thawing. In the spring 1t
will need only to be raked to be
ready for planting.
Planting time is here for roses,
shrubs and trees. Give them a
well prepared planting hole. The
addition of humus compost, peat
moss or well-rotted manure plus a
generous handful Of bonemeal will
provide sufficient plant food. It
should be thoroughly mixed with
the soil in the bottom of the hole.
Compost or other materials might
well be mixed with the soil which
is TO be worked in and around the
roots when filing the hole. Tramp
this material thoroughly to pre-
vent air pockets near the roots.
1t Is good garden practice to set
the newly planted trees and
shrubs an inch deeper than they
grew in the nursery Tho oycer-
ton to this rule is for dwarf fruit
trees. They should be planted so
that the bud joint is slightly above
ground level when settling has
taken place. Roses, should be so
placed that the bud Joint is at

used for mites and aphids that
build up after DDT applications.
This material loses it's toxicity
soon after it is applied but care
should be taken while spraying
the plants.
'Parathion in wettable pow
der or in dusts is the most general
killer Of insects and mites includ-
ing aphids, caterpillars, Japanese
beetles, thrips, and spider mites
Except resistant forms). Para
thion remains toxic to mites for
several days after application.
"K-6451 P-chlorophenyl p
chlorobenzene sulfonate) in dust
or wettable powder is useful
against spider mites including the
parathion-resistant strain. It Is
slow in its action and treatments
must be started early to be most
effective.
"Pestox (octamethyl pyro-
phosphoramide) in liquid-spray
may be applied to foliage or soil
where it is taken up by the plant
and poisons the sap. This sys-
temic insecticide kills spider mites
including the resistant form and
aphids, but not other pests. It
remains effective for 2 to S weeks
or longer. (Not available for gen.
eral use.)
These materials vary in their
toxicity to humans. All should be
used with due caution. Parathion,
HETP, and Pestox are highly
poisonous and a respirator should
be worn during application"
To DR.. Smiths list the following
insecticides may be added for
reference purposes:
Lead Arsenate as a wettable
powder or dust has been
widely used for control of chew
ing insects although it burns bean,
peach and a few other tender
foliages. 1t acts only as a repellent
to the Japanese beetle although
when incorporated in the soil kills
the grubs. The constant use of
lead arSenate as an insecticide
leads to an accumulation of this
poison in the soil which is thought
to be dangerous.
Rotenone in dust or wettable
powder is widely used for the con-
troll of the Mexican bean beetle
and other insects on vegetable
plants because it is non poisonous
to warm blooded animals. It acts
as a repellant to the japanese
beetle, but is not effective against
thrips, aphids or mites.
Sodium Fluoride is a mild
ly toxic stomach poison used to
control the Mexican bean beetle
and many other chewing insects.
1t is not effective against thrips,
aphids. mites. or the Japanese
beetle.
Nicotine Sulphate Is a highly
poisonous emulsion commonly
employed in the control of
aphids, mites, lace fly and other
soft-bodied sucking insects. 1t Isl
very volatile and unless sprayed
on these pests may be Ineffective.

I've been discing the goose pens,

I almost rigged up the plows to
work on the pens, but time was SO
short I decided to try the disc. I'm
glad I did now, because I have a
fine seed bed in about half the

thing about the potential of disc.

or slightly below the surface of
the ground.
Brace the newly planted tall
shrubs and trees so that they will
not whip about in winter winds.
Late planted iris roots should be
protected from "heaving" with a
protective mulch as soon as the
ground freezes. Leaves are hardly
suitable for this purpose since they
mat down and hold moisture. It
is better to use pine boughs, excel
sior or some other light material.
Unprotected late planted iris are
likely to be "heaved" out of the
ground by the freezing and thraw-
ing and will be injured if not
killed.
It is not too late to plant the
early -spring-dowering bulbs-tu-
lips. daffodils. crocus, hyacinths,
etc. The bulbous iris need not.
in fact. should not, be planted
until the end of this month or the
first of part of December.
It is not too late to pot a few
Of the early spring. Towering bulbs
for indoor bloom. Some varieties
are better for this purpose than
others. The single and double
early tulips make the best forcing.
King Alfred is an excellent daffo-
dill for forcing. but almost all
varieties Of hyacinths force easily.
Any mild day when the sun is
bright is good time to spray for
the control Of chickweed and wild
onion (garlic). The weedkiller,
2.4-D. may be applied as a spray
or as a dust. although the dust
does not cling to the glossy
foliage Of the wild onion. Even
the usual spray material does not
stick too well and might be for
titled with q little casein glue-1
tablespoonful to the gallon of
spray.
Z It is well to pile plenty of oak
leaves around the azaleas and
rhododendrons before the ground
freezes. Brush or soil may be
needed to anchor the leaves. Such
a mulch provides the natural
needed protection by keeping the
soil from freezing until late win
ter. thus the roots continue to
function supplying the evergreen
leaves with. needed moisture. And,
the leaves in decaying provide
much of the plant food necessary
for good growth.
A spray of the berry-bearing
Nandina took first honors at the
Takoma Horticultural Club show

it is sometimes called. is widely
grown for its large sprays Of

on this subject that 1t is given
here in full to help meet this
problem:
Within the past 10 years many
new chemicals have been found to
be highly effective killers of in
sects and mites. Certain of these
new insecticides are useful to the
rose grower and are rapidly re-
placing older materials in COM
mercially prepared dusts and
sprays. Progress is being made in
combining one or more of these
insecticides with fungicides to give
an all-purpose treatment. Before
general recommendations can be
made. further experimentation is
needed to determine the most ef-
fective combinations of these in
secticides and fungicides.
1.-THE following information
gives some of the essential char
acteristics of several chemicals
that may be useful to the rose
grower. They are prepared in va
rious foundations and the manu-
facturers' directions should be fol-
lowed in their use.
'DDT in dust, wettable powder,
or emulsion is effective against
thrips. japanese beetles, many
caterpillars, sowbugs, millipedes
and many other pests but not
against spider mites. Mites tend
to increase unduly after DDT
treatment because parasites OF
mites have been killed.
''Lindane in a wettable powder
is the active ingredient in highly
refined benzene hexachloride. It
is similar to DDT in it's effective
ness against such pests as thrips
and japanese beetles and is most
effective against aphids. It is also
highly effective in proper dosages
against garden centipedes in the
soil. However. it should not be
used on areas intended for grow
ing vegetables because it imparts
bad flavors.
"Chlordane in a dust or wet
table powder is toxic to the same
insects as DDT. It is especially
useful against grasshoppers, also
against ants and white grubs in
cluding japanese beetles when
applied to the soil.

phate or TEPP (tetraethyl pyro-
phosphate) is liquid sold under
