An alternative is to grow the plants in a container large enough to allow room for good root development and thereby lessen the chance of transplant shock. (Larry Bass, extension horticulturist) Q. I have a small pasture with a lot of bitterweed and lambsquar- terinit. How can I get rid of these plants? (M. W., Greensboro) A. The herbicide 2,4-D amine is effective in controlling bitter- weed and lambsquarter. Apply at the rate of one pound of 2, 4-D amine to 25 to 30 gallons of water per acre. Control is more effective if applied when weeds are young and six to eight inches tall. If there is clover in the pasture, it will be slightly stunted but not killed. (William M. Lewis, extension weed science special ist) Q. Do starter solutions really get vegetable transplants off to a faster start? (F. R., Knightdale) A. Yes. Most commercially prepared starter solutions have a high percentage of phosphorous, which stimulates root growth in young transplants. Liquid starter solutions provide nutrients that can be absorbed rapidly by the plant’s root system Gardeners can make their own starter solution by mixing thee to four tablespoons of 5-10-10 fertilizer in a gallon of water. Never use more than one cup of solution per plant Jo avoid burning the root system. (Larry Bass, extension horticul turist) Q. Will Australian pine and Douglas fir grow in the upper Piedmont? If so, how far apart should they be planted? (B. W., Elkin) A. You likely would have little success with either tree growing in your area. Australian pine is native to tropical Asia and Australia and has been planted extensively in southern Florida. It is also risky to plant Douglas-fir too far from its native range or elevation, which is coastal Oregon, Washington and the Rocky Mountains area. (William M. Stanton, extension forest resources specialist) Thomas Jefferson once smuggled rice seed out of Italy for planting in South Carolina and Georgia.

And for good nutrition, there are many reasons to include Sunsweet Prune Juice in your daily diet. Besides its many vitamins, Sunsweet Prune Juice contri butes essential minerals for keeping fit. Of great impor tance among these is the good potassium/sodium rela tionship, as this fruit juice has far more potassium than sodium — a boon for your heart and blood pressure. For example, a 6-ounce glass of Sunsweet Prune Juice has 391 milligrams of potas sium with only 14 milligrams of sodium. (For comparison, there are 3,000 milligrams of sodium in 1/2 teaspoon of salt.) Unless you are on a low- sodium diet, you may not know that potassium and sodium are the two minerals which control the body’s water balance. Each has a vital role in body functioning. One form of sodium is common table salt (sodium chloride). Other forms occur naturally in a number of foods, and a certain amount is essential to life. However, sodium is such a potent min eral that serious consequences can result if more is ingested than the body can manage. In some illnesses, the body cannot excrete its excess of sodium and thus accumulates water, sometimes in great amounts. Edema can result through excessive retention of sodium and water. This may contri bute to high blood pressure which in turn puts extra Thomas Jefferson steadfast ly supported freedom of the press, even as he himself was being slandered and libeled by many newspapers. wear and tear on the heart, the brain and the kidneys. Here is where potassium comes to the rescue to help restore the balance of body fluids. If diuretic medications are prescribed to help keep the body sodium at a proper level, the physician may pre scribe supplemental potassium to replace that which may be excreted along with the sodi um and excessive water. The supplement can be accom plished with potassium-rich foods, medication or both. While some potassium as present in a variety of foods, very few have the low-sodium content of Sunsweet’s 100% pure prune juice. A 6-ounce glass of this juice is compar able to a medium size banana in the good potassium-sodium relationship. Naturally sweet Sunsweet Prune Juice is a delicious, refreshing breakfast drink and a quick energy pick-up any time. Put this potassium-rich, low-sodium juice on your daily diet to help you keep fit.
