Weed Killers

Now that the weeds are in
active growth it is feasible to
go after those so located that
2,4-D and other weed killers
may be safely applied. The
2,4-D and similar type weed
killers are best applied when
the plants are young and in
active growth, when air tenn
peratures are above IS and
when the air is absolutely
still so that harmful volatile
vapors will not drift on to val
liable plants. The newer for
mutations of 2,4-D are much
less volatile than those of a
few years ago but that is no
excuse for not using all pre-
cautions to avoid unnecessary
injury to other plants.
Since these weed killers are
most difficult to remove from
a sprayer by washing, it is
desirable to have two sprayers
one for weed killers and one
for fungicides and insecticides.
However, if it is impractical
to have two, remember that
after several washings the
sprayer should be filled with
water and a tablespoonful of
household ammonia added for
each gallon of capacity. Allow
to stand overnight. This should
remove the weed killer.

Glad Corms

1t is time for a second plant
ing of gladiolus corms If we
are to have a continuous sup
ply of tall flower spikes for
cutting. Plant every 10 days to
2 weeks, as many corms as is
necessary to provide the de-
sired cutting material.
Now that the weather is
warmer we can expect the
azaleas to open rapidly and
provide us with a colorful dis
play that will help us to forget
the passing of a very fine daft
fodil season. Azaleas are one
of our finest Towering shrubs
although the largest portion of
those to be seen in local gar
dens are the Kurumes and of
them something like 80 per
cent are of the Hinodigiri
variety.
Hinodigiri is good bloomer
but so are the many. many
other kinds available from To-
cal nurseries and stores.
Snow is a good white, but
Delaware White is even better
since the faded flowers drop
cleanly from the branches.
Palestrina is a good white but
so are Vestal, Treasure, Ever
est. Rose Greeley Cygnet, Dim
ity, Driven Snow, Geisha. Gla-
cier, Gunbi, Safrano, etc.
There are differences in sea-
son of bloom, size of flower
and height of plant. 1t takes

Rose Core Now

Now that the roses are be-
ginning to make a showing we
should do two things: Cd Give
them a generous feeding of
rose food or of a general gar
den fertilizer and 90 start the
annual disease and insect con-
troll program. The latter is pri-
marily a preventive program
and depends upon regularity
and thoroughness of applica-
ton for it's effectiveness. Use
good combination or all
purpose mixture and apply
with sufficient pressure to give
a mist like fog that covers both
sides of the leaves.
Dusts may be used in place
of a spray, but they will have
to be applied more often in
the spring when the growth is
rapid and when showers are
frequent.

Wounds His Wife
Then Kills Self

ATLANTA, Oct. 3 CAP)-
John A. Peterson, SIS, a veteran
State employe and half brother
of Senator Herman Talmadge.
Democrat of Georgia, wounded
his wife and killed himself to-
day at suburban Hapeville,
police reported.
Mrs. Helen Peterson, 40, the
wife, is a school principal and
an authority on educational
television. She was operated on
for two pistol bullet wounds at
Grady Hospital, where her con-
dition was pronounced critical.
Sergt. ]. S. Clay of the Hape-
vile police quoted her as saying
her husband shot her in the
chest and hip as she was pre-
pairing breakfast. Sergt. Clay
said Peterson then placed the
.38 caliber pistol barrel in his
mouth and fired.
Mrs. Peterson said there was
no apparent reason for her hus-
bands action, but that he had
been drinking heavily for three
days. She added that he had
been treated at a sanitarium
several times for alcoholism.
Peterson was a senior clerk
in the Georgia Department of
Agriculture. He had been with
the department since his STEP
father, the late Gov. Eugene
Talmadge, was commissioner of
agriculture in the 193Os.
