cool weather (below 60F).
Hormone sprays, now avail
able at most seed stores, can
be applied to insure early
fruit set. The sprays are
applied directly to the flow
ers of the first two or three
flower clusters with an atom
izer or other fine sprayer.
Many home gardeners and
some commercial growers are
now using this hormone ef
fectively. Be sure to follow
the manufacturer’s direc
tions.
“Make your fall garden
plans now. Many good fall
juops like tomatoes, broccoli,
'cauliflower, cabbage and let
tuce are not planted because
the seed or plants are not
started in time.
“Folks who like to grow
large watermelons should
prune them. Pruning is
simply removing all but two
or three desirable shaped
melons from each vine. Start
when the first melons are
about four inches in diam
eter and repeat every 10
days until you have two well
shaped fruit per hill
“Other jobs for May: get
stakes for tomatoes and pole
beans, get seed for fall crops,
set up your irrigation sys
tem, mulch garden, keep in
sects and diseases controlled
and topdress earlier planted
crops.”
Birds In the Berry Patch:
Specialist Joe Brooks sez,
“Birds like berries and gen
erally there are more birds
than berries, especially if you
only have a few plants in
the backyard. Birds can also
be very destructive in com
mercial fruit plantings.
Many ingenious devices
have been tried to repel or
scare away birds. These
[ range from aluminum pans
tied to a string to exploder
devices that would rival the
fire power of an infantry
platoon. Generally, they all
have about the same effect—
birds are scared away until
they get used to the strange
sights and noises but gradu
ally become brave enough or
hungry enough to defy these
devices.
“The only thing that has
worked for me and is almost
fool-proof is a complete en
closure of tne oerry plants.
(Discarded tobacco bed cloth
is a good cover to use). This
is somewhat expensive but
not prohibitive in cost. You
can use tobacco canvas, close
ly woven; chicken wire, or
similar materials. My fav
orite is a new black plastic
netting that lasts for several
years and is almost invis
ible when piacea over the
plants.”
Keep Our Countryside
Beautiful: Specialist John
Harris sez, “North Carolina
is a beautiful state. But, as
Governor Moore put it, ‘Un
fortunately in many spots
man has left his mark of
ugliness. We are spoiling
our countryside as we have
already spoiled many parts
of our cities. And, the fu
ture looks even darker. Au
tomobile junk yards are
growing by leaps and
bounds. Trash is being scat
tered along our highways
defacing our natural beauty
and costing us millions of
dollars to clean up. Numer
ous dumps and the apparent
attitude of carelessness and
neglect have turned many
beauty spots into a mon
strosity of ugliness.’
“Why beauty? Presidenl
Johnson has said, ‘Natural
beauty is not a luxury for
the satisfied. It is not a
pleasant frill or a superficial
enjoyment. Natural beauty,
as you and I conceive it, is
the world we live in. It is
the environment in which we
were born and grow to ma
turity and live our lives. It
is more than a rich source
of pleasure and recreation.
It shapes our values, it molds
our attitudess, it feeds our
spirits, and helps to make us
the kind of men and women
that we finally become, and
the kind of men that we
finally become in turn makes
this nation great.’
“And beauty has practical
value... Natural beauty does,
more than affect' the atti
tude and disposition of man.
Beauty is good business.
Tourism is North Carolina’s
third largest industry. Good
outdoor housekeeping and
preserving our natural beau
ty can do much to stimulate
this business. .
“In a total sense only man
makes land ugly. Man can
live in sordid slum-like sur
roundings or he can live in
a beautiful natural environ
ment. The choice is his. If
he permits slum-like sur
roundings, then he will not
act accordingly. On the con
trary, if he elects to have a
beautiful city and country,
he will lead a cleaner and
nobler life.
“Actually, we are God’s
tenants placed in His world
to cultivate, tend and look
after it for a short time. Is
it not our responsibility to
leave it at least attractive as
we found it?”
