you, old friend,
You, who are a friend in
need;
You question not the hand
that holds you,
But only follow where I
lead.
With all this amusement
activity going on practical
ly in my front yard, I,
curious, like most people,
had to go over and see
what was going on. I
rambled around awhile and
then headed for home, or
the direction I thought was
home. And then, believe
it or not, I discovered I was
lost. I didn’t have the fog
giest idea which way to
turn. The glaring lights
blinded me, and before I
knew it, the veneer mill
loomed in front of me; then
I knew I was heading in
the wrong direction, and
that Park Avenue must lay
on my left. That oriented
me. I stumbled back the
way I came, and from then
on had no further trouble.
But for a few minutes I
was as completely lost as
a man in the middle of a
jungle.
During my safari in the
“ride jungle” I ambled
over to the Ferris Wheel.
And as I stood, leaning on
my cane, two little boys
and a girl came up. Pres

Grass Army Worms In
vading Corn Fields: In the
last few days grass army
worms have invaded sev
eral com fields. This pest
is a help on unwanted
grass but they don’t stop
there. The worms are
eating the leaves of com
and can defoliate the
plants. They are also
feeding on the tips of ears,
pasture for at least two
by them. They can also
defoliate peanuts and soy
beans quickly.
To control army worms
in corn and soybeans,
growers must dust or spray
with a combination of
Toxaphene-DDT, or Toxa
phene or Sevin. For pea
nuts and pastures, use
only Sevin and keep the
animals or poultry off the
pasture for tat least two
days after application.
Caution! Do not use
Toxaphene or the Tova
phene-DDT mixture where
the material may drift to
pastures that are being
grazed.
Insect and Disease Con
trol Reminders: Continue
leafspot control applica
tions on peanuts. Dust or
spray cotton every five
days for insect control.
Carefully examine sty
bean fields every three to
four days for insect infes
tation. Use a white cloth
three feet square. Spread
the cloth in the middle and
up under the plants on
each side. Shake the
plants vigorously, then
quickly count the worms
and bugs on the cloth. Do
this several times over the
field. If there is an aver
age of two or more worms
and bugs per spot, you
should apply an insecticide.

Horticulture Specialist John
H. Harris sez: “Have you
recently built a new home?
If you have and if you are
like most of us, you have
spent twice what you
thought you would and
now you are stone-broke
with not a cent to spend
on landscaping.
If you can out-talk the
man at the bank, stretch a
point and start your per
manent lawn this fall or
next spring. It would also
be nice if you could start
some shade trees. It takes
years for trees to mature
so every year counts.
Trees add more year
round beauty and comfort
to your place than any
other plant material. Trees
that drop their leaves in
the winter are usually best
near the house. They
shade the house in sum
mer, but not in winter. A
good place for evergreen
trees, such as magnolia,
white pine, etc., is toward
the back of the yard or
near the borders. Ever
green trees make excellent
wind breaks and can serve
as screens for privacy or
to hide unattractive views.
Some large fast growing
trees for the lawn area in
clude sycamore, willow
oak, tuliptree, sugar and
red maple, pecan, ash and
linden. Fast growing trees
such as silver maple, Chi
nese elm, mimosa, china
berry and lombardy poplar
aren’t so good because of
brittleness and susceptibil
ity to insect attack.

lawn are started you can
afford to wait before
planting your shrubs. In
fact, it would pay you to
wait until it can be done
right rather than stick out
some cheap, fast-growing,
temporary plants that will
later have to be moved.
The most important thing
is to make a plan before
anything is done. With a
good plan to follow, the
work can be done over a
number of years.
In deciding where to
plant trees and shrubs, it
might be helpful to com

furniture in your room.
The furniture is not scat

floor; it is placed where it
might serve some useful
purpose as well as being
attractive. This same prin

A limpid sheet of vapor
That turned to mist and
Finaly to sunshine
Came within an hour and
vanished.
My eyes closed and opened.
They were covered with
mist.
The tears were not clear
And it came within an

That hour was filled with
out love,
And peace came slowly.
My heart was filled with
clouds
And they didn’t vanish
within the hour.

a general guide, here are
five important uses of
plants: (1) To screen off
unattractive views, (2) to
give shade, (3) to give
background, privacy and
enclosure, (4) to frame the
house or views, and (5) to
enhance the building.
'Shrubs for privacy and
screening should have first
priority. It takes several
years for them to grow
and be effective. Here are
some fast growing ever

Beware, beware

Like a kernel of com
In a grist mill.

From its stone top
To be crushed and chewed
Until you are but a pulp.

Individuality turned to ash,
Hopelessly you’ll grope
To find your identity.

No peace of mind.
