With all this amusement activity going on practical ly in my front yard, I, curious, like most people, had to go over and see what was going on. I rambled around awhile and then headed for home, or the direction I thought was home. And then, believe it or not, I discovered I was lost. I didn’t have the fog giest idea which way to turn. The glaring lights blinded me, and before I knew it, the veneer mill loomed in front of me; then I knew I was heading in the wrong direction, and that Park Avenue must lay on my left. That oriented me. I stumbled back the way I came, and from then on had no further trouble. But for a few minutes I was as completely lost as a man in the middle of a jungle. During my safari in the “ride jungle” I ambled over to the Ferris Wheel. And as I stood, leaning on my cane, two little boys and a girl came up.

Around Farms In Chowan County By C. W. OVERMAN Grass Army Worms In vading Corn Fields: In the last few days grass army worms have invaded sev eral com fields. This pest is a help on unwanted grass but they don’t stop there. The worms are eating the leaves of com and can defoliate the plants. They are also feeding on the tips of ears, pasture for at least two by them. They can also defoliate peanuts and soy beans quickly. To control army worms in corn and soybeans, growers must dust or spray with a combination of Toxaphene-DDT, or Toxa phene or Sevin. For pea nuts and pastures, use only Sevin and keep the animals or poultry off the pasture for tat least two days after application. Caution! Do not use Toxaphene or the Tova phene-DDT mixture where the material may drift to pastures that are being grazed. Insect and Disease Con trol Reminders: Continue leafspot control applica tions on peanuts. Dust or spray cotton every five days for insect control. Carefully examine sty bean fields every three to four days for insect infes tation. Use a white cloth three feet square. Spread the cloth in the middle and up under the plants on each side. Shake the plants vigorously, then quickly count the worms and bugs on the cloth. Do this several times over the field. If there is an aver age of two or more worms and bugs per spot, you should apply an insecticide. Ornamentals: Extension Horticulture Specialist John H. Harris sez: “Have you recently built a new home? If you have and if you are like most of us, you have spent twice what you thought you would and now you are stone-broke with not a cent to spend on landscaping. If you can out-talk the man at the bank, stretch a point and start your per manent lawn this fall or next spring. It would also be nice if you could start some shade trees. It takes years for trees to mature so every year counts. Trees add more year round beauty and comfort to your place than any other plant material. Trees that drop their leaves in the winter are usually best near the house. They shade the house in sum mer, but not in winter. A good place for evergreen trees, such as magnolia, white pine, etc., is toward the back of the yard or near the borders. Ever green trees make excellent wind breaks and can serve as screens for privacy or to hide unattractive views. Some large fast growing trees for the lawn area in clude sycamore, willow oak, tuliptree, sugar and red maple, pecan, ash and linden. Fast growing trees such as silver maple, Chi nese elm, mimosa, china berry and lombardy poplar aren’t so good because of brittleness and susceptibil ity to insect attack.

In fact, it would pay you to wait until it can be done right rather than stick out some cheap, fast-growing, temporary plants that will later have to be moved. The most important thing is to make a plan before anything is done. With a good plan to follow, the work can be done over a number of years. In deciding where to plant trees and shrubs, it might be helpful to com pare your plants to the furniture in your room. The furniture is not scat tered in the middle of the floor; it is placed where it might serve some useful purpose as well as being attractive. This same prin ciple applies to plants.
