Miss CM Gives
Tips On Ornamentals
Control of Spot Diseases
Important In Grow
ing Roses
Miss Rebecca Colwell, Chowan
County Home Agent, this week re
leased the following information re
garding ornamentals:
Roses—Ask a successful rose grow
er how he grows such beautiful roses
and he will probably reply “it’s easy,
there’s nothing to it”. Ask a man who
is not successful and he will likely
say "don’t try it; it’s not worth the
trouble”. To most of us, roses are
trouble but we think they are worth
the trouble and then some.
Perhaps the control of leaf spot di
seases is the most important single
thing in growing roses. Fermate, ap
plied about every ten days starting
when growth starts and continuing
until frost, is recommended by the
Plant Pathology Department as be
ing a good control for this disease. It
can be applied as a spray (2 level
tablespoonsful plus spreader-sticker,
according to the manufacturer’s di
rections to 1 gallon of water), or as
a dust (% lb. Fermate mixed with
4% lbs. of talc dust). Some com
panies put out combination materials
that control both disease and insects.
These materials are usually available
from your seed dealer.
“In my own garden I planted thirty
six bushels last February and averag
ed over 50 blossoms per week from
the first of June until November, says
John H. Harris, horticultural specia
list. “The plants were placed in a
well-drained, sunny area; fertilized
three times with 2 lbs. of 6-8-6 ferti
lizer per 100 sq. ft., mulched with
leaves, and sprayed regularly. They
were never worked or watered—the
mulch made this necessary.
Lawns—How does your lawn look?
Is that an embarrassing question?
Nothing adds more to the looks of a
home than does an attractive lawn,
and likewise nothing detracts more
than a bare washed away yard. In
my opinion about 90 per cent of the
people starting new lawns insist on
planting a mixture which is supposed
to stay green the year around—but
never does. Practically all of these
people end up with Bermuda or a
mixture of crab grass and every thing
else that grows in the community.
This isn’t bad either because if these
lawns of native grasses and clovers
are kept fertilized and mowed they
are about as good as any. Fertilizing
and mowing are the important things.
If you don’t want Bermuda, then Cen
tipede is perhaps the best lawn grass
southeast of Henderson, Raleigh and
Wadesboro. Northwest of this imagi
nary line use Bermuda and native
grasses andr clovers or Kentucky Blue
grass and Clovers.
“Frequently Pm asked what kind of
grass to plant in a yard full of trees,”
says Mr. Harris. My answer is don’t
bother—save your time and money
unless you are willing to thin out your
trees. Some will take out trees, others
won’t. They love them too much and by
leaving too many trees the shape of
all their trees are ruined because of

grass or a covering of leaves or twigs.
‘ Unless you have grass or a ground

My recommendations for shaded areas
i are Centipede on light sandy soil or a
mixture of Kentucky Blue grass and
Fescue on heavy soil and where Fen- ■
tipede isn’t hardy. In most yards, the >
grass will be benefited by removing
i pome of the lower limbs of the trees.

Os Nurses’Aides
- Latest Step Taken For
Maintaining an Ade- *
qUate Reserve
Revision of basic and refresher
i training courses for volunteer Nurse’s '
Aides is the latest step in Red Cross <
plans for the maintenance of an ade
quate “organized reserve” of these
i community health workers.
-Nurse’s Aide reservists are called ‘
out in disasters, epidemics, or other
emergency situations in their own or
in nearby communities. They receive
yearly refresher training in a new
course that emphasizes skills and
■ techniques they might need under
such conditions.
Basic training has also been brought
up to date, Red Cross officials, an
nounced. Newest feature is additional
training for public health work in
communities where there are no hos
pitals.
Volunteers who complete this train
ing serve in public health clinics; in
home care of the aged, chronically ill, ■
and patients just released from hos
pitals; in school health programs; in
old people’s and convalescent homes;
and in community health projects.
Last year an average of 2,737 aides
per month served approximately 460,-
800 hours in 744 hospitals and agen-

Without Painful Backache
As we get older, stress and strain, over
exertion, excessive smoking or exposure to
cold sometimes slows down kidney func
tion. This may lead many folks to com
plain of nagging backache, loss of pep and
energy, headaches and dizziness. Getting
up nights or frequent passages may result
from minor bladder irritations due to cold,
dampness or dietary indiscretions.
If your discomforts are due to these
causes, don’t wait, try Doan’s Pills, a mild
diuretic. Used successfully by millions for
over 50 years. While these symptoms may
often otherwise occur, it’s amazing how
many times Doan’s give happy relief—

One item that should be on every

the rush of spring work starts there
should be ample time to spot them and
see that they are removed.
Check your bam for loose objects l
or things that may cause falls. High
door sills, abrupt changes in floor

or other tripping hazards should be
removed. All floors should be solid,

Avoid storing loose materials over

Loft doors, feed chutes and ladders
need special attention. A well con
structed stairway that is hand-railed
-and kept clean provides the safest and
easiest passage to Kay mows. It is
dangerous to use stairwells as feed
chutes because loose hay or straw
makes footing uncertain. Separate
feed chutes with guards above the loft
floor are desirable. Where a ladder is
'used see that it extends well above
the loft floor. It should also have
well-spaced stout rungs that are plac
ed far enough from the wall for se
cure footing. All elevated platforms
should be equipped with a railing and
accessible from a safe ladder.
