I GARDEN TIMF I BY ROBERT SCHMIDT At this time of the year we usual ly have a lot of complaints that to 'matoes are rotting on the -lower side or blossom end of the fruit. [This condition occurs on small jcreen fruits as well as on fruits I almost ripe. This is not an organic disease but rather a physiological condition known as blossom-end rot. It appears to be caused or at I least aggravated by extremes in weather conditions ? either by ' periods of dry weather it can be held In check by providing irriga tion; however, don't wait until you have lost a large percentage of your tomatoes, but irrigate as soon as lack of sufficient moisture is evident. Mulching plants with a deep layer of straw will prevent loss of moisture from the soil and will cut down on the amount ot Mossom-end rot. In the mountain area it will be necessary to control late blight if you wish to be successful with to matoes. This is the same disease that attacks Irish potatoes. Use a copper spray such as tribasic cop per sulphate or Copper A com pound and keep the plants well covered. I Don't forget to prepare for a good fall garden. If you have not I already done so, sow seed as soon ! as poasible for broccoli, cauliflow | er, collard and cabbage plants. These may be grown in flats or boxes for transplanting to pots or tin cans for later transplanting to the field. Broccoli and cauliflower require more boron than la found in most of our soils which deficien cy causes hollow stems and an in ternal browning. To prevent this, mix two level tablespoonsful of rommon borax with the fertill*er for 100 feet of row. I Three good fall garden crops are Chinese cabbage, kohlrabi and leaf lettuce. These crops are not found 1 commonly enough in our fall gar dens. Head lettuce does sot do as . 'well in the fall as leaf lettuce. A | good variety is "Salad Bowl".

Broiler prices ranged from 10 to 13 per cent higher from May 1 to July, IMS. than for a similar period last year, according to C. P. LAeau, extension poultry and egg marketing specialist at State Jol lege. One of the factors responsible lor this three cents per pound increase Is that processors have expanded their market territory to new area a, especially to the mid-west and New England and new custo mers have helped to relieve the pressure of sellers to take custo mers away from each other by cut ting prices. A wide range or broilers with dif ferent weights have been offered buyers. Some customers prefer 2V4 pound broilers, some want three 1 pound birds, and others like 3 >4 | pound weights. Producers, feed dealers, and processors are doing ; a better job of satisfying consumer | preference. FOR ATHLETES FOOT Use T-4-L for 3 to 5 days. Watch the old tainted skin slouch off leaving healthy, hary skin. If not pleased with powerful. Instant-dry ing T-4-L, your 40c back at any drug -store. Today at Mauney Drug Store. A Other (actor* are: cool weather up to July helped broilers acquire a finer finiah and higher quality | that catches the eye of housewives; I more retailers are carrying broil era through the entire week rather than Just weekend specials; more processor confidence and control over the volume and age at which broilers are marketed; and shop ; pers have a little more moaey to spend than last year because of wage Increases and population growth. Will the added strength in broil er prices continue? Li beau says it depends on organisation, control and knowledge of the sellers and SMALLEST TRIBE I Grand Canyon National Park en closes the home of the Havasupais, possibly the smallest and certainly, the most isolated Indian reserva j tion In the United States, says the 1 National Georaphlc Society. A few i square milea in a side canyon sup | port the tribe of some 300 mem buyers of broilers from the farm to the consumer. A change whereby the buyers have an advantage over the sellers could shift pressure lor lower prices. Competition among states could induce thia shift.
