Life in the Country
About Snow That Ruins Gardening
And Ducks That Watch Tennis

don't know why any one in
his right mind keeps on with
gardening.
Just look at me. I got to
work early this year and decided
that for once I would get in an
early garden. I thought I would
get my peas planted before any
one else and I would come up
with a good crop before hot
weather
It didn't work. You just can't
ever win in this climate. I got
my soil worked, the burrows
made and then I couldn't find
my seeds. Tomorrow, I thought,
I'll go get some more and get
them IN the ground.
But next morning I looked out
and my nice new rows were un-
der 3 inches of snow. Which
means, of course, that I'll have
the job to do over again. as
soon as the ground dries out.
That, in my section, is likely to
be long time.
suppose it will end this year
like it has in the past. I'll wait
until late to plant my peas-just
in time for them to be retarded
by the hot weather.

Wellman Chamberlin had q
flock of ducks one time that
used to come down and watch
the tennis matches. There were
about 80 of them, he said, and
they used to make daily trips
down to where the Chamberlins
had built a swimming pool. On
the way to the pool was the
tennis court, and the ducks used
to stop by to watch the play.
Wellman said they would line
up on the side of the court. and
their heads would move to-
gether, from side to side as they
watched the ball.
They would stand there, per-
fectly still, until the set was
finished. Then, he said, they
would ruffle their feathers, get
in line and march across the
tennis court toward the pool.
These were Mallards, and all
came from two pairs that were
caught when they were young.
They increased over a f1ve-year
span, he said, until biology
caught up with them. The strain
! just petered out, Wellman said,
because there were two many
cousins marrying other cousins,
and no fresh blood coming in.

We got into our best clothes
the other evening to attend the

section can keep along with the

example, we have an excellent
library and a bookmobile that
takes reading matter to the re-
motest corners of our county.
1t is lots better than living in
the city. There you have to go
down to the nearest library
branch, but with us we just sit
in our living room and the Ii

may be why reading is increasing

Red STEELE Fungus Hits Temple Strain

New strains of red stele fun
gus have been found in Mary
land that will attack strawberry
varieties formerly thought to be
disease resistant. The new
strains are not widespread, but
growers are warned to be on
the lookout for red stele infec-
ton in Temple and other So
called resistant varieties.
If red stele is present in re-
sistant varieties, it is probably
caused by the new strains of
Evening star., 1953-03-08

the fungus, according to DR..
Walter Jeffers. University of
Maryland plant pathologist. He
warned growers to use special
care to prevent the spread of
the more virulent new strains.
Temple was developed as a
ease-resistant variety after
red stele all but washed up the
strawberry industry on Mary
lands Eastern shore. This new
variety enabled growers to re-
sumo production even in infected
fields.

Trees Need Attention

Young trees should get pro-
fessional attention every three
to five years. depending upon
rate of growth. With strategic
pruning, the tree man can de-
velop the most desirable tree
frame formation. With such
specimens as naples, elms and
horse chestnutS, which have q
tendency to develop weak W
shaped crotcheS, this can be
particularly important in as
suring long-lived landscape
sentinels.

Here's big news for everyone planning a
garden! Due to widespread use of Krilium
soil conditioner, production economies
have made possible a big price reduction
almost 800 in the popular 5-lb. home
garden mixture package! Lower prices
also apply to other sizes.
Now-buy Krilium where you buy your
seeds and garden supplies. Apply it to
all the ground you get ready for plant
ing. Just prepare soil as usual-then mix
in Krilium, following simple directions.
You'll see big difference when seeds
come up-particularly if you have clay
type problem" soil.
