No Arsenal Needed For
Bug Control in Garden
CootroUlnc Insects In
some garden is a Job
can be handled by
or two good insoc-
Tbere'a no need
to stockpile an arsenal
for the Job,
Gardeners, especially
the toss experienced
ones, may get "carried
away" with all the mate
rials available for killing
bugs sad feel compelled
to buy some of each one.
Tela multiplies the
danger of having poisons
around the house, in
addition to increasing
costs.
Dr. H E.Scott, exten
sion entomologist at
North Carolina State
University, said two
materials that have broad
application for garden
use are malathion and
serin. Another product.
Gardens, is also avail
able for general use but
has more limited
application.
"Either malathion or
serin should provide
adequate insect control in
most gardens,'' Dr. Scott
said. "Both are safe
when used as directed
by the manufacturer."
Aphids, which are
always s problem on a
wide variety of veg
etables, are best con
trolled with malathion.
However, serin may give
better control on such
pests ss the bean beetle,
tomato fruitworm and the
imported cabbageworm
(cabbage butterfly).
Malathion is available
as an emulsifiable con
centrate, wett able powder
or dust. Serin comes as
s wettable powder, dust
or as a "flow able"
formulation to be mixed
with water.
Dr. Scott said gar
deners will no longer be
able to find garden insec
ticides containing DDT.
This product was offi
cially removed from the
market effective Dec. 31,
1972. He added that gar
deners shouldn't regard
this as much of a loss
since the other products
that are available are
more effective in garden
insect control. NCSU
hasn't suggested using
DDT In home gardens for
several years.
Scott cautioned that
malathion, serin and all
other insecticides should
be used only as directed
on the container label;
that the materials should
be kept well out of reach
of children, preferably
locked up; and that empty
containers should be
disposed of properly.
Garden Time
Plants in Containers
Can Still Be Planted
By M. E. Gardner
N. C. State University
If you are as far
behind with your home
gardening chores as most
everyone else in North
Carolina, there is still
time to plant container
grown plants such as
roses. You should try
Gypsy, Electron and
Medallion, These are
the three All-America
winners for 1973 and all
the first rose in the red
class to win an All
America award since
Mr. Lincoln in 1965.
There are many other
container grown plants
available hollies, etc.,
if you are late due to
extremely wet soil. Con
tainer grown plants are
easily transplanted. Just
be careful when knock
ing the ball from the can
and placing it in the
permanent location. Re
member to dig the hole
about twice as large as
the root ball and fill in
with good soil.
I recently received a
letter from a Chapel Hill
reader who wanted to
plant the Carlos and
Magnolia varieties of
muscadine grapes. I
knew that bud activity had
begun on some of our
experimental plants, so
I suggested container
grown plants and put her
in touch with sources of
supply.
House plants will
benefit from a shower
bath to remove dust from
the leaves and reduce the
likelihood of insect dam
age. A fixed or attach
able shower head will be
fine. Repot any that
have become root (or pot)
bound and begin a regular
feeding program about
once a week for all in
active growth. A liquid
or water soluble fer
tilizer is best for feeding
and should be used
tionS. Wer
to keep the soil moist
but never wet. Over
watering is a common
trouble which will
prevent maximum per
formance. Sow seeds of heat
resistant annuals as soon
as the soil is suitable,
in the lower Piedmont and
Coastal Plain. Wait about
one week for each 1,000
feet rise in elevation in
the mountains. Here are
some you might try
cosmos, marigold, sun
flower, petunia, salvia,
zinnia and other
favorites, "
Tender crops may
now be sown in the veg
etable garden in the lower
Piedmont and eastern
Carolina. Wait until
danger of injury by frost
has passed in the
mountains.
Start earlv with
pesticide programs on all
crops to protect them
from insect and disease
pests. You'll be glad
you did.

Q. With interest rates up
sharply and threatening to go
higher, would it be feasible
for me to get a loan on my
life insurance policy instead
of going to the bank to bor
row for my business needs?
A. Anyone with a cash value
life insurance policy can bor
row on it up lo the current
amount of cash value. This
policy loan would be on terms
more lenient than available
from any Other borrowing
source today. In a few cases,
it would be ut 6 percent, but
in most cases al 5 oercenl,
Moreover, this is a true 5 or
6 percent and not a rate
amplified by discounting or
installment, payment. And you
are not required to repay the
loan. It is advisable, however,
for all policyholders to ap
proach any borrowing of pol
icy cash value with caution,
as such loans immediately re
duce the value of the policy
for emergency payment. That
is, in case of death, the policy
loan must be paid out of pol
icy proceeds before the death
payment is made to the bene
ficiary. If it's a sizable loan,
this may sharply reduce the
amount receivable by the ben
eficiary and defeat some of
the intended purpose of the
policy. So, it is suggested that
those who do borrow any
sizable amount from their life
insurance policies could pro
fitably do two things: (1) add
a term insurance policy to
cover the amount 'of the loan
(costing in most cases about
Vi or 1 percent of the loan
amount); and (2) set up a
plan for repayment of the
loan. These two steps main
tain the family's security pro
gram intact and prevent the
loss of the interest advantage,
which could occur through
additional payments made
when repayment is allowed to
drat; out.

Green Thumb Tips
Okra is an unusual vegetable
that's very popular in the south.
Yet, it will grow reliably as far
north as New York State. A
member of the hibiscus family
of plants, it produces beautiful
white flowers with dark brown
centers. The okra pods form
under these exotic flowers and
should be picked when young
and tender. They are delicious
cooked as a side-dish or added
to soups with a tomato base.
Older pods can be left on the
stalk to become hard and brit
tle by fall, when they can be
picked to make interesting in
door arrangements.
It is often claimed that blue
among flowers is the least com
mon color because it is the
color of the sky against which
most flowers must contrast in
order to attract insects for pol
lination. Blue flowers are mostly
low growing (forget-me-nots,
ageratum and pansies) in order
to contrast with foliage. In
actual fact, however, green
flowers are much less common
than blue flowers and black
flowers are almost non-existent
although some pansies are
almost black. Among the most
widely grown green flowers are
Bells of Ireland and Envy Zin
nia. The seeds of both these
varieties are available from
most' seed displays and catalogs,
arid they are easy to handle,
requiring similar conditions for
successful results. Sow them di
rectly into the garden where
you want them to bloom after
the last frost date. Both varieties
are excellent as cut flowers.
Swiss Chard deserves to be
much more widely grown in
home vegetable gardens. It can
be sown in every month of the.
year except winter, and it tol
erates hot humid summers mag
nificently. A member of the
beet family, it grows luscious,
crinkled leaves with thick, suc
culent stems. They ate delicious
cooked as "greris," making an
excellent substitute for spinach,
which cannot tolerate hot
weather. The seeds are easy to
handle, and they germinate re
liably. There are perennials in the
flower world, so why not per
ennials in the vegetable world?
Indeed, there is such a thing,
and the two most widely grown
perennial vegetables are aspar
agus and rhubarb. Many gard
eners buy these as .roots for
quicker results, but they can be
grown less expensively and
quite reliably from seed. Rhu
barb from seed will take two
years to reach an adequate size,
and asparagus will take at least
three, but once you have a well
established bed they will keep
producing year after year with
out the need for replanting.
