When the weather is not too
cold take a good look at the
trees and shrubs and vines to
locate the bagworm cocoons.
Gather and burn them.
Fruit Tree Spray Time
Some day soon well have q
beautiful warm February day
Just right for applying a dormant
spray. The material used by most
gardeners is lime-sulphur-one
pint to one gallon of water. The
thermometer should indicate a
temperature of not less than 40
F. with a fair promise of above
freezing weather for "a hours.
This dormant spray may be used
on apple. peach. cherry, plum
and pear trees, rose. and de-
ciduous shrubs in general.
Coldframe to Be Needed
Now is the time to get the soil
ready in the coldframe. It won't
be long until there will be seed
lings ready for transplanting.
Keep the sash closed in order to
warm the soil.
Pruning Should Go On
If you have many trees and
shrubs you win need to continue
Many plants start into
active growth so early that 1t
hustles the gardener to get all
the pruning done in time. It is
too early for rose pruning. Better
wait a while.
Seed Rush Is Starting
Get seed orders ready and
sent in. Some seed are slow to
terminate and so should be sown
into pots or fats by the end Of
the month.
Supply May Be Short
1t is also important that new
varieties be ordered early. The

] wonder II there are, any LETT
this midwinter who doubt the
weather forecasting ability Of the
woolly bears?
If you remember last fall there
were some who stepped forward
to say the woolly bear couldn't
be depended on as a forecaster
of the severity of the winter.
/ remember one in particular.
He was from up in the Penn
sylvania Dutch country, and he
said all indications up that way
pointed to an easy, mild winter.
I wonder where he is now.
From what I've heard Of the
Pennsylvania country. they have
been worse OFF with the. cold
than we have here in the upper
south.

lin these parts. And there aren't
many indications February is

Der, the woolly bears last fall
indicated we were in for steady
winter-one that would be about

The old-timers hereabouts tell
me this is the first winter in q
long time when there was
enough ice before Christmas to
lfill the ice house. Or. rather. to
have filled the ice house If there
were any anymore. Ice houses,
like sleigh bells. are things OF
the past, and ! can't say I'm
sorry to see them pass. Now
that I've got the COW dry for the
cold months, I'm glad there
isn't an ice house to I'LL.
OF course, / had the ice. Our

constantly since the first Of
December. There were a couple
lof times when 1t looked like 1t
was going to thaw out. but the
weather frightened up again be-
fore it completely melted.
