Blueberries You Cen Grow:
We have been enjoying blue
berries from our garden for the
last eight weeks. Miss Ruth can
make the most delicious blue
berry pies and muffins of any
Wife I have. We also eat some
on cereal and freeze some for
later use.
We have about ten plants of
the Rabbiteye Type. Our varie
ties are Hombell, Garden Blue,
Tifblue and Mendits. The plants
Were set about eight feet apart
in the row four years ago. The
plants were purchased from Jack
R. Finch Blueberry Nursery,
Bailey, N. C. The nice two year
old plants were balled in burlap
and cost eighty-five cents each in
lots of twelve or more.
Now Is a good time to start.
Soil should be properly prepar
ed for bluebe'rries. Prepare an
area large enough to allow eight
by eight feet for each plant.
Cover the area with about four
inches of well rotted woods mold,
L oak leaves, or peat moss or well
plotted sawdust. Spread one
Btound of 8-8-8 fertilizer evenly |
Hr and for each plant. Work;
the soil six to eight
deep. If this is done in
HHHber or October, the area.
HHB settled nicely by plant j
Hjßßßts may be set any time
1 through March.
should be set the same
they were in the nursery
■t setting, the tops should be
cut back half and not allowed!
to bear fruit the first year. j
This will make for stronger j
plants. Keep blueberries wellj
mulched and water during dry
seasons.
Blueberry bushes are very
pretty plants to use in the homr
landscape plan. They are es
pecially adapted for borders and
groupings.
Lawn Care And Management
The next forty-five days art
very important in lawn life.
During this period we mostly
have warm days, cool nights and
heavy dews. These conditions
stimulate more lateral growth
leading to greener, sturdier grass
this fall and a better lawn next
year.
Lawns need feeding to grow
and be pretty. Right now one
pound of 8-8-8 fertilizer evenly
spread over each twenty-five
square feet is needed. Thin and
bare spots should be scarified
lightly and reseeded as soon as
possible.
Watch Crops For Insects: In
sects can multiply mighty fast
this time of the year. Tuesday
I was in a cotton field where
the boll worm was working on
almost grown bolls and green
loopers were feeding heavily on
the leaves. A good crop of cot
ton is on the plants so the grow
er plans to apply Toxaphew—
DDT mixture immediately.
Watch soybean and peanut
fields closely. Open up the
plants and look inside for bugs
and worms. Shake plants brisk
ly and look on the ground be
low for worms and bugs. Don’t
waste money but dust or spray
when needed.
Fall gardens are most vulner
able to insects. For bugs and
worms some good insecticides

.Frankly Speaking;
I By FRANK: ROBERTS '
Thoughts" of a returning vaca
tionist: It takes two. weeks to
recuperate from a one week va
cation; mountain traveling is a
lot of fun, especially those beau
tiful West Virginia mountains;
the various time zones will not
only help to drive you crazy, but
when you wind up in a state an
hour later than you think, it
makes getting a motel most diffi
cult; Detroit folk are friendlier
than most other city folk. Also,
it’s easier to find your way
| around in Detroit compared to
j most other cities. If and when
I you do get there, be sure to visit
1 the fabulous Ford Museum—Jn-
I teresting, and what an education;
I Niagara Falls is getting to re
-1 semble Coney Island. The vari
ous commercial enterprises aim
ed at gulpiog tourist money de
tracts from a naturally beautiful
scene; the province of Ontario,
Canada, is the cleanest place
; you’ll see. That goes for homes,
i farms, cities and towns; Canad
i ian radio is excellent; turnpike'
i driving is great if you’re in a
hurry, but the monotony of turn
pike driving is hypnotically dan
gerous; motel owners, whether
for business reasons or other
wise, are always extremely cour
teous; Southern restaurants of
fer better tasting food for regu
lar dishes, but for specialties,
northern restaurants are ahead;
West Virginia offers excellent
ieenery, excellent roads, excel
