OFFERS RECOMMENDATIONS
FOR PEAS

Recommendations for this COM
ing seasons crop of peas were Of
fered this week by George Vapaa,
county agricultural agent, as he
discussed soils, lime, rotation, land
preparation, fertilization, time of
planting, insect and weed control.
He suggested choosing we'll
drained soil containing as much
organic matter as possible. The
soil should be relatively sweet,
with PHI of 6.5.
Good land preparation is essen
tial. Work ground until it is
smooth and level. Rough ground
may cause poor stand. Mr.. Va
paa added that rotation is ne
cessity to prevent diseases like
root rot. A five-year rotation is
best.
Plow down 200 to 300 pounds of
cyanamid one week to 10 days
before planting, the agent contin-
ued. Drill deep 800 pounds of 10
1910 just before planting. If five
tons of poultry manure are ap-
piled per acre, omit the cyanimid
and apply 900 pounds of 10-10-10.
The planting season in Della
ware starts in late February and
ends in early April. The process

but you may have to drain"
them next Spring or Summer.
Frost crack, sometimes as audi
BILE as a rifle crack, spits the bark
of certain trees. This happens
when days are sunny and warm
and evenings cold and biting.
Bark and outerwood shrink more
rapidly than the heartwood, with
resultant popping of the bark.
The bark is the proptective
Skin" of the trees and any OPEN
ing leaves woody friends as prone
to infection as a human with a
cut or puncture of the skin, ac-
cording to F. R. Lancaster, tech
nical adviser of the Davey Tree
Expert Co.
One of the commonest bacterial
infections in trees is known as
wetwood, a condition in which
trees ooze sap because of internal
gases caused by sap fermentation.
Woody pets punctured by frost
crack are apt to be susceptible to
the wetwood ill.
Early next growing season, any
tree that's suffered frost crack
should be examined carefully for
signs Of high pressure" from
wetwood. These are not hard to
find Sap oozing from forks or
bark wounds is the obvious symp-
tom.
There is no cure for wetwood,
but a fairly simple operation US
ually restores infected trees to
healthy growth. This means the
boring of holes and installation of
drainage tubes in the trunk of the
trees to allow escape of the gases,
caused by fermenting bacterial or
ganisms.

sor will suggest the planting date,
using the heat unit system as a
guide. Seeding rates vary with
the variety. Alaska is usually
seeded at five to five and one
quarter bushels per acre. Large
seeded sweet peas are usually
planted as near six bushels as
possible. The suggestion was to
calibrate drills carefully before
seeding and to pull the drill at
about three m.p.h. Planting depth
will vary with the time of plant
ing and the soil moisture. One
to one and one-quarter inches for
early planting and up to one and
three-quarter inches for later
planting on light soil was advised.
Aphids are usually the most
troublesome pest on peas, Mr.. Va
paa noted. Examine the growing
points of the vines frequently to
determine aphid abundance. They
may appear at any stage of
growth.
Weeds often cause a loss of
yield. Check the field carefully
when the peas are about two
inches high. If weed control is
necessary, apply a dinitro spray
of three pints in 80 to 60 gallons
of water. Spray when peas are
three to eight inches tall and
weeds are one to two inches tall.
Do not spray if the temperature
is over so degrees. The best tenn
perature is 60 to 80 degrees, the
agent concluded.

HUNTING
AND

Here last week end 70
promote Alaska as a hunting
and fishing paradise was
Austin Meekin. q real Alaskan
guide.
| Meekin. who Is 80 and a ma
tive Of Wisconsin. went to
Alaska q dozen years ago and
set UP q camp called Meekin's
Lodge In the Matanuska coun-
try. II Is ITO miles from
Anchorage. the nearest city,
and within easy horseback dis
lance are Dali sheep. mountain
goat. caribou. moose and black
and grizzly bears.
At q meeting at his hotel
here. Meekin showed. movies Of
some Of his hunting trips to q
group of Washington sports
men interested in . safari.
Actually. Alaska needs no
tub-thumping as a sportsmen's
paradise. It's opportunities are
unlimited. II one has the price.
Special group rates offered by
Northwest Airlines. however.
bring It closer within range Of
the average man.
II Is an le-hour flight to
Anchorage where Meekin meets
his parties. Parties are then
transported by station wagon
10 the main lodge and by
horseback TO the base camps
In Squav Valley. Most Of the
hunting is done on the slopes
Of the Tall Tetouz and Cuschae
Mountains.
In late winter and early
spring there are brown bear
hunts on Montague Island and
polar bear hunting in the Nome
area. The polar bear are spotted
BY airplane. owned and pilotec
by Meekin. and then tracked
down with Eskimos as guides.
From July to September Their,
