I found a sasanqua camellia to
day heavily infected with the
azalea and camellia leaf and bud
gall disease.
This is a fungus which causes
the leaves to become thickened,
curled, fleshy and pale green to
I white in color (sometimes pink
ish). Flower parts may also be
affected, especially the petals of
rhododendron. Under average
home conditions, the disease is
’ more alarming than serious be
cause of the unsightly appear
ance.
All you can do now is hand
pick the affected parts and des
troy them, preferably by burning.
Sometimes, during humid weath
er in early spring, this disease
may become troublesome enough
to require spraying. If it does,
spray with Bordeaux mixture be
ginning near the end of the flow
ering period, and every two
weeks until mid-June. Bordeaux
may be purchased in powdered
form and mixed with water ac
cording to instructions.
Lace bugs are active and
should be controlled without de
lay. This insect is serious on
many plants, especially azalea,
pyracantha, Washington haw
thorne and rhododendron in the
mountains. Adults are about one
eighth inch long and have lace
like wings with brown and black
markings.
To control tnis pest, spray thor
oughly the undersides of the
leaves with malathion. Use
eight teaspoons of 25 per cent
wettable powder to one gallon of
water. Spray at 10-day intervals
until the insects have been com
pletely controlled. This spray is
a double-barreled control be
cause it will also take care of
spider mites on azalea ' and the
other plants mentioned.
If you permit these pests to get
the upper hand, they can give
your plants 'no end of trouble.
They suck the juices from the
leaves, causing them to become
discolored and seriously interfer
ing with the manufacture of food
so necessary for normal plant
growth. |
Dust young pepper, tomato,
radish, beets, etc., with 1 per cent
rotenone to control flea beetles.
This small black insect, resemb
ling the common flea, eats holes
in the leaves and can be very de
■ structive unlaas controlled. There
are other materials whiah may be
• used but rotenone is usually ef
fective, and safe to use.

<■ This is camellia leaf scale and re

| This is a sucking insect so the
« *P ra y solution must strike the
body of the insect to be effective.

• about having to mow his giass so
often. This seemed a little
strange because many people
don’t have nice stands of grass.
My advice is to keep it growing
by top dressing with fertilizer, as
needed. Don’t mow too close. If
you do, you will be sorry when
the temperature rises and the hot
dry winds set in.
Set your mower to leave blades
one and one-half to two inches
high after each mowing. Avoid
straddling terraces or high places
with a rotary mower. They will
dig in and take your grass out
by the roots. If you have some
spots which seem to be low in
nutrition, not wet, try a liberal
application of cottonseed meal. I
have used it with good results.
If you have not planted toma
toes in the mountains, use a
starter solution. Weigh out five
pounds of a 5-10-10 fertilizer and
stir in 50 gallons of water. For a
small quantity, use four level ta
blespoons in one gallon of water.
One-half to qne pint of the so
lution, per p/int, is about right.
Stir the solution well before ap
plying because much of the ma
terial will be in suspension rath
er than solution.
If you have already planted to
matoes, and most people in the
lower Piedmont and Coastal
Plain have, make plans to mulch
and stake your plants. The stake
should be five or six feet high
and substantial enough to hold
the plant when in fruit. Use
strong, soft cloth strips. Tie the
cloth strips firmly around the
stake and loosely around the stem
of the plant. Pruning is desir
able and easy if you will pinch
out the suckers that form in the
axils of the leaves when they are
about two or three inches long.
Keep plants free of weeds and
mulch heavily with grain straw '
or pine needles. 1
Blossoms sometimes fail to set
fruit due to low temperature (50 j
degrees) or high temperature
(above 90 degrees). Try spray- '
ing the blossoms with one of the !
plant regulators such as Sure-Set.
I This may help if conditions are 1
not too extreme. Another
mon cause of poor fruit set is
over fertilizing with nitrogen.

Question: Where chemicals aye
used to control weeds in corn
should the corn also be cultivat
ed? . J
Answer: One shallow cultiva
tion can be beneficial if the soil
has a tendency to pack and be
come hard. At least this Is what
was teuqd by some tests conduct
ed at Willard in 1956. The single
cultivation gllows air and water
to enter the soil. Repeated cul
tivations, hpwever, were found to
reduce yields. On loose, soft
soils good chemical weed control
produces good yields with 6r
without cultivation.
Question: Are starter solu
tions recommended for tomato
plants? *
Answer: A starter solution can
cause the plants to begin grow
ing quicker after transplanting.
A starter can be made by mixing
five pounds of 5-10-10 in 50 gal-
I lons of water. Where smaller
amouqiware needed, dissolve four
level tablespoons of fertilizer in
each gallon of water. • .
Question: How often should
muscadine and bunch grape vines
be pruned?
Answer: Every year. Early
pruning is recommended. The
pruned vines will ' bleed, but
that’s not fatal.
Question: Under Plan A, the
1959 support level for 7/8 midd
ling cotton at average locations is
30.4 cents per pound. Under
Plan B, 1959 support for the same
grade is 24.7 cents per pound.
Are these the supports 1 can ex
pect on my crop?
I Answer: No. North Carolina
cotton growers will receive high
er supports. First, they are al?
lowed an extra nine-tenths of a
cent per pound because of their
proximity to the cotton mills.
Second, North Carolina cotton is
usually of a longer staple than
seven-eighths of an inch. The
longer staple carriet a higher
support. Based on last year’s
premium for longer staple, in
1959 Tar Heel farmers should re
ceive about 36.1 cents per pound
for 1-1/32 middling under Plan
A. Under Plan B, they should
receive about 30.31 cents per
pound for the same grade.
Question: Is it best to plant
pines by hand or by machine?
Answer: It is not the way the
hole is made, but how it is used
that counts. The hole should be
wide enough and deep enough so
the seedling roots can be placed
in a natural position. Jamming
the roots into a hole can cause
poor growth or even death of tnt

i Question: I have noticed a'
nfew interest in cotton in North'
Carolina. Csn you,e*Rhu* it? ,
Answer: Practically all agri
cultural agree that cotton
i is on the comeback trail And of-!
, fen a good gpurce of farm in
come where labor is not a prob
i lem. Admittedly, acreages are;|
small; but even a small acreage:
will benefit the producer. Mahy |
i farmers are now reconsidering '
the production of cotton.
Question: Does pruning pines
cause them to grow taller? >j
Answer: . No. If too man/
limbs, are cut off jt iriay aotual
> ly retard growth. Bach needle is
I a manufacturing plant producing
food. Removal, of the needles
cuts off the food simply and
growth stops. Research show!
that not more than one-third of
the green needles on a pine can
be removed without a reduction
{in growth. In lumber production
too many large limbs are undesir
able. This situation is usually 1
controlled in managed forests by
growing pines close enough to
gether to get natural pruning by
■ shading of lower limbs.
Question: Does North Caro
: lina need more market egg dis
tributors?
Answer: No, not necessarily.
There are now more than 400 esrg
; distributors in the state. Yet
■ j there is not a single assembly
j plant in North Carolina handling
as,many as 4,000 cases per wpek.
. What jhis state really needs is
three or four times more eggs,
i If production is not stepped up
some distributors may find the
going rough in the next two
years. *
