signs of trouble?and you
know what causes it?the
plants can very often be re
vived and made to flourish.
And you are credited with a
"green thumb."
Poor plants sometimes are
the remit of nothing more j
serious than improper water
ing or a cold draft. Lack of ?
fertilizer and insect attack!
are other frequent causes. I
Here are some of the symp

plants?and some of the
causes?as listed in "Select

Plants" (HG-82), a new book

the U. S. Dept. of Agricul
ture's Research Service.
Loss of leaves may be due
to a sudden change in temp
erature, transplanting shock,
change from strong sunlight
to a dark location or from
dark to sunlight, or over
watering.
BroWnlng of leaf tips may
result from improper water
ing, exposure to '.old drafts,
insect attack, or excess fer

PEPPER GROWERS
Here are seme timely sug- j
gestions for growing your
1963 pepper crop:
1. Select a well-drained, |
easily worked loamy soil. Do
not select a soil that had cot
ton, tobacco, tomatoes, egg
plant, peppers or Irish pota
toes last year. Practice crop
rotation to control root knot,:
bacterial spot and other dis
eases. Fumigate with EDB
or DD if root knot is severe
at least two weeks prior to
planting.
2. Take a soil sample early |
to find out your lime and
fertilizer needs.
3. Be sure that the land is I
plowed early and deep to in
sure that trash and other or
ganic matter are well rotted, j
Addition of 5-10 tons of {
stable manure before plowiug j
is very desirable. Plowing

Farmers And Contractors Busy
With Soil Conservation Work
By NAT B. WHITE
Soil Conservationist
For the past week farmers
and contractors have been
busy on Conservation work
on farm lands. In some cases
the earth is being moved
with heavy equipment; in
some cases the job is being
done by farm tractors. For.
four months the land was too]
wet to work. Now that soil'
conditions are right terraces;
are being built, grassed water-j
ways shaped, and farm lands;
smoothed.
During the past week par-,
allel terraces were staked for

increased yields.
4. Have rows 3H feet apart
and set plants 1% feet apart
in row. This row width helps
for later cultivation (6500
plants per acre).
5. Apply the recommended
fertilizer in two bands, each
located 3 inches to the side'
and 2 to 3 inches below the
plant roots. On average soils,
800 pounds of 5-10-10 per acre I
should be used (if soil was!
not tested.) Where banding
is impossible, mix the fer
tilizer thoroughly with the
soil before ridging, since pep
pers are very susceptible to
fertilizer injury. (Sidfdress

vals, with 10 to 15 pounds of
Nitrogen per side dressing
(such as 65 to 100 pounds of
nitrate of soda, 33 to 50
pounds of ammonium nitrate,
etc.). (Apply the first side
dressing 3 to 4 weeks after
setting in the field.)
6. Set plants in late after
noon or on cloudy days to
prevent wilting. Use a trans

the parallel terraces is that
they eliminate short rows I

Several farmers are plan-i

so as to install land smooth
