Of' A During the dry. hot weather of a few weeks ago we had numerous ' complaints that tomatoes were rot ting on the lower side or blossom : end of the fruit This occured on small fruits as well as on fruits almost ripe. This is not a disease ' but rather a "physiological condi tion known as blossom-end rot and Is caused by periods of dry weat her or by periods of excessive rain fall. In periods of dry weather it can be held in check by providing adequate irrigation. However, dont wait until you have lost a large percentage of your tomatoes; you should irrigate as soon as lack of sufficient moisture is evident: I examined the tomato plants in my garden a few days ago and found that I had a very poor set of early fruit. They had been in full bloom during the week that we had such cool nights and the blossoms all dropped off instead of setting fruit. I suspect that toma to plants in many gardens reacted the same' way as mine. This will ioooooooooooooooooooooooc f llinchevj Buich Co.

Sometimes there will be heavy blossom drop when we have a period of rainy weather. . ., Blossom drop of tomatoes may be prevented - especially in periods of cool weather - by spraying the open blossoms with one of the hor mones which sell under the trade names Fruitone, Sureset, 'Blossom Set and others. You can obtain these materials at any seed store.' In the mountain area it will be necessary to control late blight if you wish to be successful with tomatoes. This is the same disease that attacks Irish potatoes. Use a copper spray such as tribasic copper sulphate or Copper A Compound and keep the plants well covered. .Raspberries and dewberries have Just about finished bearing for this season in eastern and centeral North Carolina and now is the time to prune them. To understand why we prune them at this time we should know somethings about the growth and fruiting habits of these crops. Raspberries and dewberries bear most of their crop on new shoots that come out of canes of last se ason's wood. Each season after be aring a crop the last season canes will die and their places will be taken by new canes which come up from the root of the plant. The old canes therfore should be removed as soon as the crop is harvested. This practice will give more room for. the new canes to develop as well as to get rid of dis eased plant material. Tn eastern North Carolina a slight different procedure -is used for dew berries. As soon as tne crop is Har vested all canes both oldand young are removed at the ground. Then the land is cultivated and a top dressing of liitrate of soda is applied In a few days the new shoots will appear and will make sufficient growth during the rest of the sea son to produce a good crop the next near. This new growth is allowed to run along the ground and is not tied up to stakes until spring This practice gives a fair control of anthracnose disease of dewber ries. The plant growth that is cut off at the ground should be des troyed by burning in order to get rid of all disease. In the mountain areas the season is not always long enough .to permit the removal of the new canes. In that case only the old canes are removed.

' tJylonCan Be The Answer To A Travelers Prayer ; If members of your family are among the thousands who are look ing forward to a trip within the next month or two, you've probably been worrying about what 'to take in the way of clothing, and how to go about this business of packing. If you have done much traveling recently, you and nylpn are proba bly old friends by now, but if not, here's a - tip from Julia : Mclver, State College extension specialist in textiles , and clothing, that may solve a lot of your packing prob lems. . '"-'y ?'' ; r Nylon, a miraculous fiber made of coal, air and water is a lifesaver when you're trying to keep your baggage to a minimum and when you don't want to be bothered-about pressing every time you change clothes. : "'" :' ' - Shirts, blouses, dresses, and ling erie made of nylon may be washed and 'dried in record tune - ana nylon's non-ironing qualities are an answere to the traveler's prayer. " ' Nylon articles usually costs a LIZ QUESTION: How can I get rid of Johnson Grass?- ,'. . i ANSWER: -Following a thorough disking, during the early. part of J little more than those of other fi bers, according to Miss Mclver, the long-wearing qualities and ease of care offsets the extra cost. One point to keep in mind when laundering nylon clothing, however, is to be certain never to wash them with colored garments. Nylon can easily pick: up almost any color during washing. , 1 . ',y A lot of people feel that nylon should be treated Just like rayon -'that' it should' only be washed with very mild soap suds and cool water. Such is not the case. Hot water is not injurious to nylon, in fact, nylons will be much whiter ox brighter if laundered with reason, ably hot water. the growing season, apply 60 to 1004 pounds of trichloroacetic acid equiv- - alent in 40-80 gallons of water per acre.! However, TCA renders the soU sterile for 80 to 90 days. , QUESTION: Just what is required to make cotton seed meet certified seed growers regulations'?
