CircIing the Countryside
Roppuhonnock Race
Draws Hunt Crowd
By Dolores Phillips

MIDDLEBURG, Va, Mar. 10.
"A chic point-to-point outfit
of two pairs of woolen socks
under a pair of rubber boots,
topped from the knees up by
anything heavy enough to keep
out fog and mist, was the
rage at the Rappahanock races
on Saturday.
Despite the questionable
but comfortable outfits that
roamed the Leon GreenaWay's
hills, the races drew the largest
crowds in Rappahannock's his
tory with enough hunts repre-
sented in the races to put on
a good, muddy show.
The Loudoun Hunt vanned
home with top honors in three
races. Capt. Joe Rogers took
the Mount Marshall open
race trophy back to his farm
in Hamilton. He ran the race
on his Star Salome so that
wife Pat could follow every
jump with her movie camera.
Barbara Graham, daughter of
the Sam Grahams of Purcell
vile, and sister of Nancy Gra-
ham who rode one of Arthur
Godfrey's Arabians around on
television the other night, won
the Junior race over jumps,
and Tom Caulk from Aldie
took the heavyweight Ben We
nue., riding Col. Riley's hunter
Lancer.

Timing Is Major Foctor
In Every Spray Program

At the present time, this week,
there are several sprays or dust

R0ses-Begin a weekly pro-
gram of busting or spraying now.
If rains are frequent use the
dust gun oftener. Most all
purpose sprays are satisfactory.
Aphids will soon abound and
black spot will put in its appear
ance unless care is taken now to
prevent the onslaught. There
are many dusts on the market
prepared especially for the pro-
lection Of roses.
Apple and peach trees-Use
1la tablespoonfuls of malathion
and 8 tablespoonfuls Of wettable
sulphur to one gallon of water.
Apply when three-fourths Of the
blossoms have fallen. The spray
will control curculio and brown
rot on peaches and cooling moth
and scab diseases on apples.
The cherry, plum and pear trees
need the same protection at this
time.
Grapes-Use ~ tablespoon
fuls of ferbam and Ia table,
spoonfuls of malathion before
the bloom and follow the bloom
with the same spray.
Raspberries-Spray for an
thracnose with 3 tablespoonful
of ferbam to one gallon of
water.
The worst pest Of evergreens
at this season is the red spider
mite. A strong blast from the
hose is effective In most cases.

the spores from entering the
leaves.

In the Washington area
where all the insects and dis
eases of North and South seem
to meet, spraying or busting is
a prime requisite to successful
gardening. In some cases dust
ing is just as satisfactory as
spraying, but for fruit trees and
large shrubs and for weeds. too.
spraying is necessary. Some
growers dust roses; others spray.
The terms are often used inter-
changeably.
Generally speaking. the gar
dener will purchase an all-pur-
pose spray which will be salts
factory for most of his needs.
Many of the newest compounds
are included in these recon-
mended dusts and sprays. With
the continued effort to improve
the effectiveness of dusts and
sprays. new mixtures are being
constantly introduced.

In order to give more COM

bordeaux or some fungicide
called a carbamate is now added
to rotenone dust and sold under

be very effective. Be sure to

For several years we heard a
great deal about DOT. It
proved very effective against the
Japanese and other beetles, but
now it is being used less and
methoxychlor is taking its place.
1t seems to be more satisfactory
in that it is less toxic to human
beings and that its effect on the
soil is less lasting.
