You've doubtless heard the
old saying that corn should be
"knee high by the Fourth Of
July" Well, Cecil Dickson
called in the other day to say
that his corn is shoulder high
well above the normal height
for this time of year.
Cecil is a Loudoun Countiar
whose farm is in the North
Fork section. He says his corr
is so tall just because the land
up in his section Of the country
is so good. He is thinking about
planting broken bottles to see
what he'll get.
Parson Hickman, who live:
near Lovettsville, found Q
couple of orphan skunks this

AN AsSEMBLAGE OF GRACEs
All Five Senses Rewarded
In Daily Life Of Gardener

Getting the most out Of life"
is easy to talk about, but how
many d us are doing it?
Too often we spend our lives
working at jobs and adding at
hobbies which not only don't
use our capabilities to the full
est, but also fail to even bring
us into harmony with our sur
roundingS. And the five senses,
gifts given to us to help appre-
ciate this wonderful world we
live in, languish neglected or
unused in the hectic day-to-
day routine Of our lives.
Yet, right at hand. as near as
the closest plot of ground. is
the opportunity to bring into
our personal orbit all that is
good and inspiring in life. You
find it in one of the first, most
basic occupations Of man, gar
dening. Here you can develop
those bountiful and rewarding
gifts of seeing. hearing, smell
ing, feeling and tasting.
We have our eyes wide open
but, with the casual glances we
give to things around us, how
much of what we see makes an
impression on our minds? Beau
ty does. And a garden is first Of
all beautiful. AS Webster says,
Beauty is an assemblage Of
graceS pleasing to the eye, mind
or moral sense"

go to make a delightful garden
symphony for us to enjoy.
The aromas in a garden are
legion. The delicate scent OF
flowers. the good clean odor OF
freshly turned soil and the
clear bracing tingle Of a breeze
are sure to sharpen our sense
of smell.
We've all felt the touch of a
thick, velvety lawn underfoot
and the crunch of a gravel
walk in a garden. The con-
trast between the physical
activity of gardening and the
delicate touch required in
transplanting small seedlings is
one of the most rewarding of
experiences.
And, when you taste the
vegetables picked fresh from
your garden at their peak ripe

Metal GirdIe on Post Thw0rts Snakes
By JAMES BIRCHFIELD

Tweed Howser. it appears. is
not the only person who
got a black snake out Of his
martin house. Alva Nye, jr,,
who lives out near Mclean,
did also. Alva called to tell
how he solved the snake prob

Simple" he said. "All you
do is put q piece Of metal
around the post that holds the
martin house so the snake can't
climb up"
I told Tweed and he says he
is going out and get sections
of stove pipe for his martin
house posts.
Alva is a great purple mar
tin fancier. Every winter he
builds another martin house
and every summer increases his
colonies. He has three houses
now, and is assembling data
on the habits of the purple
martin. For this he wants help
Every time Alva passes a
place where there is a martin
house he takes down the name
and address and sends out a
questionnaire. He wants to
know the size of the colony,
its location and information
about the house. such as how
high of the ground. number
of apartments. their size and
the size of the openings.
He would like all the infor-
nation he can get, and there
fore, would like any person who
has a colony of purple martins
to write him about it. He lives
at Hawkhill, Route 2, Mclean,

Alva says that in a week OF

lawn mower, for instance, are
apt to be attacked by the borer.
Control: First or all prevent
injury and water and feed well
to prevent an infestation. If a
tree is infested, cut out the
borer with a sharp knife or
kill it by probing with a wire.
A third method is to inject a
fumigant into the tunnels and
seal the openings with putty
or wet clay.
BOxwOOd Leaf Miner
Boxwood leaf miners are
yellow or orange maggots about

anecial Writer for The star

2hNSAAA WAAeSA ASA @AN Ss@A
According to the scientists at
the University of Maryland who
work on the project there are
more than 200 insect species
that attack shrubs and trees.
Since none OF us grow all the
plants suitable to this area we
probably are not af1licted with
anything like that number, but
we certainly have more than
enough. Perhaps naming a
half-dozen or so of the COM
monest pests and suggesting the
best control will be helpful.
Aphids
Let's begin with aphids.
Everybody has aphids. They
used to be called plant lice.
They have globular, soft bodies
of many colors and are an
eighth of an inch or less in
length. They suck the plant
juices causing leaves to curl and
buds and flowers to be mis-
formed. They are especially
abundant in the spring but may
be found at any time.
Control: Spray with 6
tablespoonsfuls of Is per cent
wettable powdered malathion In
3 gallons of water. f}S Z
BagwOrms
Bagworms are soft, brown
caterpillars which surround
themselves with cocoons which
they fasten to small pieces Of
leaves. They usually hatch out
early in June and devour
everything they can find.
Control: If you did not pick
them all off last fall and win
ter, then spray now with mala-
thion, cup of wettable powder
in 3 gallons Of water.
Fall WebwOrms
Fall webworms are hairy cat
erpillars about / inch long with
black and orange spots. They
form gray webs around the tips
of branches eating everything
with the web. Adult moths are
white.
Control: Now, as webs are
noticed spray with DOT, 6
tablespoonfuls of SO per cent
wettable powder in 3 gallons of
water or 2 tablespoonfuls Of
25 per cent emulsifiable con-
centrate in the same amount Of
water.
Japanese Beetles
Japanese beetles are known
by everyone. They need no
description. Now that they are
appearing. spray with DDT, US
ing s tablespoonfuls of SO per
cent wettable powder, plus s
tablespoonfuls of wettable pow
dered malathion in 3 gallons
of water. Apply at To-day in
tervals until the beetles disap-
pear.
Spider Mites
Spider mites are often called
red spiders. They attack many
plants and are especially bad in
dry weather. They appear as
tiny moving speckS on the
underside of leaves. Sometimes
they are so plentiful that the
foliage looks rusty.
Control: In 3 gallons of
water dissolve one of the fol-
lowing: (a) Six tablespoonSful
of Is per cent wettable mala-
thion, tb) 6 tablespoonSful
of Is per cent Aramite. or (c)
6 tablespoonful of so per
cent wettable ovex. Direct the
spray to the underSide of the
. leaves.
Tree BOrers
Tree borers are especially
difficult to control. They are
responsible for the loss of many
dogwood trees. Trees or shrubs
