LIFE IN
THE COUNTRY
Horsefly Is a Real Menace
BY JAMES BIRcHFIELD

The buzzing / hear outside
comes from one of our great
est pestS-the horsefly.
He is q big fly, brown or black
in color. and he has a terrific
appetite. Hot weather gives
energy to his wings, and he per-
sistently seeks to suck the blood
from farm animals.
Many a day ! have watched
while my COW struck out for the
barn from q corner Of the pas
ture. The horseflies simply
were too many. and she had to
reach the dark shelter Of the
barn.
For some reason, perhaps
having to do with the sun, a
horsefiy rarely bothers animals
when they are in a darkened
stall or shed. Only when they
are in the full light of the sun
are the flies persistent.
And they can just about take
the hide of a COW. I have seen
many an animal with its back
red with blood from horsehy
bites.
Horsefiies don't respond to
sprays very well, either. Meth
oxychlor, or some Of the other
residual sprays. will pretty well
protect cattle from horn flies
and stable flies. but the horsefiy
will bite on, spray or no spray,
You can get them with a
knock-down spray. but that
type won't stay on the animal,
and so gives no protection after
the immediate dose.
I have never understood why
cattle react so differently to
the horsefiy and the heel fly,
The heel fly doesn't bite, he
just buzzes. And in buzzing he
is attempting to lay his eggs on
the heels Of cattle. The eggs
hatch into grubs that make
their way into the animal, and
finally emerge from the ami
mails back.
! have seen a COW raise tail
and take on like a race horse
when bothered by heel flies.
And I have seen cows patiently
endure the attacks of horsefiies
with little or no effort to escape
them.
It must be that nature. real

the varieties which will enhance
your garden if you can see them
in bloom rather than from de-

Mimosu Webworms
Need Spraying EurIy

The mimosa webworm is
beginning to appear. It ties the
leaves together and spins a web
about them. If spraying is de-
layed until after this takes
place it is not likely to be fully
effective. Spray at the first
sign of this pest with malathion
or with malathion and meth
oxychlor. The mimosa web
worm is highly injurious to the
lorain thornless honey-locust
and unless controlled can SER
iously weaken that tree.

Much of the vigor and beauty
Of the perennial border next
spring depends upon the care
given this summer. If weeds
and grass are allowed to take
over and crowd the perennials.
little can be expected from
them because they will not
have had SUFFICIENT food and
moisture.
There are several other steps
to take to insure the plants be-
coming well developed for
maximum performance next
spring.
The removal of grass and
weeds is a case of wedding and
cultivating or of mulching.
Many gardeners prefer the one,
while for many mulching is
the desirable practice. OBJ
viously the latter saves work
during the heat Of summer,
but a mulch does much more.
It keeps the soil cool so that
those perennials which like a
cool root-run will have a better
chance. A mulch also keeps
soil loose and open so that air
and moisture may penetrate to
the roots.
A good thick mulch will bene-
At all kinds Of perennials ex-
cept those that need a baking,
such as the tall bearded iris.
Those perennials subject to
crown rot, such as delphinium
and painted daisy, should not
have the mulch too close to
their crowns
Remove Spent Blooms
It is well to remove the spent
blooms of the perennials Sc
that none Of the plants
strength is taken in seed forma-
ton. This applies to all kinds,
iris, hollyhocks, veronica, etc.
For some kinds this is standard
practice since it encourages
the plant to send out new
flowers. For many kinds it is
important to prevent seed for
nation and to keep the beds
from being Uttered with I'M
wanted seedlings.
Most kinds of perennials need
a generous feeding to keep them
in active growth during the
summer and fall. Usually it is
wise to fertilize Immediately
after towering. Apply the fer
tilizer over the root area. The
fertilizer may be spread on top
of the mulch or the mulch may
be pulled away. Either method
will work but mulched beds re-
quire a heavier feeding than
unmulched beds.
How Often to Feed
Peonies need a fail feeding
as well as a summer feeding for
best growth. Many peony fans
also feed their plants in March
for a total Of three feelings per
season. However, do not fol-
low this program for all Of the
perennials since it will produce
too much soft growth which
could lead to disease problems
Usually a good feeding follow
ing Towering is important to
proper growth.
Some plants need to be d.
vided every few years for best
Towering. Primroses are good
examples Of plants that should
be divided every few years
preferably in the early summer
so that they will have ample
time to develop before winter
freezes. Delphinium may be
spared the curse Of crown rot
If lifted and divided. or cut
tings taken for the production
Of new plants. However, many
prefer to treat them as an

seed. II dividing is needed II
