IHBiNEW8.yUBN*L GARDEN TIME By Robert Schmidt ^ THURSDAY, JULY 5, 19^1 Mrs. E. J. Hare and baby dau ghter, Anita of Aberdeen were Rockfish visitors Tuesday. Many friends, and .relatives of the bride’s family in the Rock fish comihunity attended the Wood-Pemberton wedding at Ga latia Sunday evening. Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Brock and sons, E. T., Jr. and Harold, Mrs. Mary Meinnis and Thomas Mc- Innis spent last Thursday at White Lake. When we have completed the garden planting for the season, we usually have a quantity of seed left over. Will they be any good next spring or should they be discarded now? The longevity or length of life of seeds depends on two main factors—the kind of seed and the conditions under which the seed are stored. Under the hot, humid condi tions in the South, seeds do not retain their vitality as long as they do in cooler climates. Dif ferent^ kinds of seeds vary greatly in their longevity. For example, onion, sweet corn, and parsnip seeds retain their vitality for only one or two years; beans and peas for two or three years; cabbage, collards, kale, turnips and mus tard, four to five years; okra pars ley and salsify, about two years; cucuiribers, melons, squash, and tomatoes, about five years—all of these under favorable storage conditions, which means a cool temperature and relatively low humidity. The difficulty in determining if seeds are likely to be good next spring is that we don’t know how long the seed merchant has had the seeds before he sold them to us. In many instances, I have found bean seed to be good only for. the year that I purchased them. That might mean that the seedsman has had the seed for at least one year before he sold fhem. If you do keep seed over until the next year, you should have a germination test made before you plant them. If you are saving any of your own seed this year from your garden, dry them out thor oughly and then keep them as cool as possible during the hot weather. , ANSWER: There are two types of borer—the peach tree borer and the lesser peach tree borer. Both can be controlled by applying eight pounds of DDT 50 per cent wettable powder the first of July, August, and September, accord ing to Clyde F. Smith, head of entomology at State College. Use of summer spraya is the only sat isfactory means of controlling the lesser borer, says Smith. The re gular borer can be controlled by applying ethylene dichloride or paradichlorbenzene in early Oc tober, However, summer, sprays will result in a much healthier tree appearance. The lesser borer does not nor mally cause .much damage but has been causing some damage the last two years, especially on older trees which have a considerable amount of rough bark. The regu lar borer is a familiar pest to every peach grower. It normally attacks trees near the soil level. -0-- State College Answers Timely Farm Qnestions QUESTION; How can I con trol trpp hnrprs'^ QUESTION: How can poison ivy be killed? ANSWER: Many types’of ma terial are used to kill poison ivy. The most widely used are Am- mate and 2, 4-0. When using Ammate, dissolve three-quarters to one pound in a gallon of water and spray or sprinkle on the leaves. Repeat the application in August or Septem ber if necessary. If the Vines are on trees, it’s safest to remove the vines before spraying. The Am mate container should be washed thoroughly two or three times after use. In most cases 2, 4-D gives ex cellent results. It is much cheaper than Ammate but takes longer to kill. One difficulty is that it may damage tomatoes, grapes, or other nearby plants, although it doesn’t damage grass. A Separate sprayer should be bought for use with 2, 4-D alone. 0 According to C. J. Maupin, ex tension poultry specialist at State College, the first-place winner in the recently concluded National Chicken-of-Tomorrow contest was a Cornish-New Hampshire cross developed by a California breed- ins farm Arabia News By Mrs. D.
