under later. Everything that is not eaten is turned into the soi
soil and a cover crop is turned under in the spring. Ping
Kricker knows a man who puts rat poison in the chipmunks holes.
Jack Bentley wanted|to know when you stop cutting rhubard. Rust
pulls everything off, works and fertilizes it and has another crop
crop then a third in the fall. Jack has hay 2 feet feep for cante
cantelopes and tomatoes. Chicken Kricker in packing away winter
winter things and wants to use herbs to fight silver fish and
moths. Use whole cloves for moths. Irving Smith uses chips
from elm trees that hacve died with Dutch Elm disease. Will
they spread the disease to other things? No one knew. Mr.
Edgar Erqin burns the whole business when he takes out a
tree. Tree trimmers are supposed to have a tree warden along.
Ping has four pin oaks with lower limbs apparently dead.
Irving Smith planted one below the former level and roots
came toward the surface and choked|it. Plant trees a little
shallow because they sink. Walter Wilson's blackberyy fines
have gone to fine,- no berries. Grace Thomas's father trimmed
the vines way back every year. The Cedars' vines that
have gone to the top of trees still have lots ofberries. We
advised Walter to dig his up and take his ladder to Tthe
Ceders! Caroline Kricker said they have a new asparagus
bed with nothing done to it. She was|advised to fertilize in
summer, manure Thanksgiving Day. Fill the trench first.
Only plant good roots. Poor roots never catch up. Jack B.
would not mulch the first year but cultivate. Lucy Manning's
Kousa (Chinese or Korean) Dogwood did not bloom this year.
Why not? The Huttons' bloomed as usual. Dont fertilize
box bushes or other trees and shrubs until the second year.
John Bryan and Highland knows something that will kill wiregrass.
You can't plant anything else for a while.
