garden peas can be planted and a
fall crop assured. Most Of the
varieties recommended for spring
planting in this area will do for
fall planting.
Radishes, lettuce and spinach
are other crops to be planted
They will make rapid growth and
produce tender. succulent harvests
| if kept cultivated and, when neces-
sary, watered. Additional fer
tilizer is likely to be needed, since
the heavy rains will have leached
most of the fertilizer out of the
soil.
The japanese beetles are about
finished for this season and we can
all be thankful as it will give us
a chance to enjoy roses and other
late bloomers without fear of DAM
aged petals. The Japanese beetles
are now Cor soon will be- small
grubs feeding upon the roots OF
grass and we should go after them
with milky spore disease. chlor-
dane or DOT. The latter two will
give immediate results but are
not permanent while the milky
spore disease is slow In spreading
but in the end gives permanent
protection.
Now is the ideal time to fertilize
lawns (25 to 80 pounds per 1000
square feet, the strawberry bed
and the fruit trees. 1t is surpris-
ing to note how few gardeners
give their fruit crops this atten-
ton. Commercial growers re-
hgiously feed their fruit trees and
strawberry beds to improve the
size and quality of their fruit.
Now that the japanese beetles
are no longer clustered on every
rosebud, there is tendency to
neglect spraying or busting our
garden plants. There is still a
very real need for busting OF
spraying to control diseases and
insects. Roses, dahlias. phlox and
zlnniaS are likely to be troubled
with mildew and a sulphur dust is
one of the best remedies. How
ever, do not use sulphur on roses
when the temperatures 60 above
IS degrees F.
The planting season for Ori-
entail poppies and Madonna lilies
is about over and should not be
delayed any longer than neces-
sary. Many of the newer varieties
OF Oriental poppies are a real i'm
provement over the old timers,
and make a brilliant spot of color
in the spring garden.
Many gardeners are looking for
ward to the fall flower shows
which are scheduled beginning the
middle of September. Exhibitors
should keep their plants well pro-
tected from insects and diseases
and growing rapidly so that they
will attain maximum size by show
time. An application of fertilizer
at this time will help. Tall-grow-
ing flowers should be kept staked
to avoid having crooked stems and
twisted branches.
Some gardeners may be tempted
to remove the mulch materials
from their flower and rose beds.
The soils specialists advise against
this Old practice-they recon-
mend keeping the mulching ma
terial on the bed, adding a new
layer in the spring. This is big
departure but they have the data
to back the recommendation.

of evergreens should not be de-

planting is often made but the
risk Of setting the evergreen back
in its growth is too great to take
unnecessary chances. Even when
planted at the proper season good
soil preparation. mulching and
protection are justified consider
ing the investments.
Stake heavy headed chrysan-

rains and winds topple them over.
Brittle stemmed dahlias need this

SNOW RESULTS
IN FARM LOSSES
Nearly Half of SOybean Crop
Is Unharvested; Sugar
BeetS Also Hit

Ottawa County farmers are
among the heaviest losers in
snowstorms of this week as they
have been unable to get into their
fields to complete the harvest of
soybeans, corn and sugar beets.
Fred Grimm, county agricultur-
al agent, estimated Wednesday
that from 35 to so per cent of the
soybean crop is still in the fields.
He predicted that the loss of this
crop alone might run as high as
$500.00O
Mr.. Grimm also estimated that
almost 1,700 acres OF sugar beetS
remain unharvested throughout
the county.
Farmers were hampered by con-
tinuous rain during the normal
harvest season and large part
of the several crops were still in
the fields when the snow and wind
struck last Friday.
Every day that the farmers are
kept from the fields means Sc
we're loss, Mr.. Grimm said. 'This
snow certainly won't do them any
good" he added.

Receipts Will Go To Sewer
Fund To Aid In Proposed
Disposal Project

In a move to provide a fund to
help pay for the proposed sewage
disposal system, city councilmen
Tuesday evening approved an or
dinance which will make the sew
er rental plan effective as of Janu.
airy first.
All owners OF properties within
the city limits, where sewer "a.
cilities are available, will be
charged rental fee under the new
law. Minimum charge, which will
be the rule in this city, will be
SO cents per month. Industrial
and commercial firms will pay SO
cents per month for each ten en-
ployeeS.
The ordinance was not approved
without a struggle. City Solicitor
John Reinheimer gave the ordi-
nance its third reading, after which
Councilman Goebel asked for a
copy so, that he could study the
legislation. No other copies were
available at the time, but Mayor
Carl Becker asked for a vote after
the ordinance had been further
discussed.
Councilman Jack Riddle passed
and Councilman Torvald Hostrup
voted mo-. With Schaper, Neil
sen, Ruddock and Goebel voting
"yes" the ordinance was approved.
Bills Due April I
First bills for the sewer rental
will be mailed April l from the
waterworks office, Waterworks
Supt. William Crohen stated. He
estimated that the rental charge
should bring in a minimum re-
venue of $4,000 annually.
Money derived from the sewer
rental will go to the Sewer Fund,
which will be in charge of the
city treasurer. It will be main
tanned to repair sewers, operate
the lift stations, pay engineer and
clerical help, with the balance to
be used as start for the propos-
ed sewage disposal system.
Such a fund will ease the gell-
eral fund, as sewer repair bills arc
now paid from that source.

TABLE GARDENS
ANNEXATION AT
COUNCIL MEET
Gas Co. Franchise To Be
Checked For Better Service
After Complaints

Approval of the proposed ordi-
nance for the annexation of Erie
Gardens to Port Clinton was tabled
tentatively at Tuesday nights
council meeting at the request of
Mayor Carl Becker.
Mayor Becker told councilmen
that a Federal Housing Authority
official had been here during the
past week, and that the official
asked the delay until he could con-
fer further with FHA headquar-
terS.
There is a possibility that the
government will ease its housing
rules during the emergency and
such action could result in fur
ther delay of the annexation ordi-
nance.
Gas Co. Complaints
Complaints against the Ohio
Fuel Gas Company were heard
from Milan Flick and other Lind
en-East Second Street residents
and from Waterworks Engineer
William Crohen.
Flick stated the gas company
workmen had removed a storm
sewer in his neighborhood, while
placing a new gas line, and that
the sewer was never replaced.
Since then the area has been food
ed intermittently.
Crohen stated the gas company
workers were very lax in line re-
novations and in repairing lawns
after lines were placed. Council
man Torvald Hostrup stated a gas
line had been placed over water
line in his neighborhood.
After a discussion of the conf
plants, council ordered City Soil
citor John Reinheimer to study
the franchise under which the gas
company is operating in this city
so that better service can be or
dered.
Flick also complained to council
concerning sidewalks. He stated
he and his neighbors were order
ed to build sidewalks, according to
correct level, and that such action
was taken. Since then the STAN
dard Products and other property
owners in the neighborhood have
failed to build sidewalks, he stat.
ed. The councils sidewalk COM
mittee is to check the condition.
Purchase Siren
Councilmen ordered purchase of
new fire siren, also to be used
for civilian defense needs, from
the Union Supply Company of
Toledo. In the contract is pro-
vision that the siren will be re-
turned to the company, if it does
not prove satisfactory after 30
days trial.
Carlton Finkbeiner, Toledo, con-
Sulting engineer who is working
on the local proposed sewage dis
posal plant plans, was snowbound
in Columbus and could not be
here for the meeting. He will be
here next Tuesday night when a
special meeting will be held.
Council decided to change it's
requirements for council room
lights and will ask for bids on
four two-bulb drop fixtures and
for one four-bulb drop light for
the mayors office.
