Gardeners PlqnPlanting
Better, Farm Agent Says
>r l a. wiluaiu
Early spring gardens throughout
the rouqty prior to cold weather
were looking food. The garden*
that I have ofaaerved Indicate that
the ownen are giving more thought
and planning to the (election of
?tore aad better varieties. We have
at our office a new supply of the
IMS Recommended Varietie* of
Vegetable*. We would be glad to
furnish any of you that might be
interested a copy of this informa
tion on request
Such crop* as tomatoe*, cucum
ber*, peppers, cantaloupe* and
watermelon* may be started early
under hot cap*. The cap* will do a
good Job of protecting plant* from
light frost and are inexpensive.
You should get hot caps that are
large enoujh to prevent cramping
the plant. They should be set firm
ly over the plant, soil should be
mounted around the bottom to
keep it from blowing away. A 2
inch slit on each side of the cap
should be cut for ventilation.
In fertilizing your garden remem
ber that small roots are ea*ily in
jured if they come in contact with
large quantities of fertiliser. To
prevent this mil the fertiliser well
with the soil. Often times the in
jury is not sufficient to kill the
young plants, but will stunt them
and slow down their rate of gTowth.
Aphid* Troublesome
A good many cabbage growers
have been having to apply insecti
cide* to control cabbage aphid*.
This is a small sucking type insect
that usually is quite troublesome
to certain early growing spring
vegetable crop*. A few cabbage
growers have reported failure to
obtain effective results in con
trolling sphids with the use of
parathion insecticide.
The failure to obtain aphid con
trol measures by a few farmers
with Parathion is thought to be
due to improper time or method of
application. Early morning appli
cation while the dew is *tiU on the
leaves and when temperature* are
too low is not recommended. Both
Malathlon and Lindane should give
good results' as an insecticide in
controlling aphids. Either of these
materials are not as toxic to the
person applying them as Parathion
is.
A good many Carteret home gar
dener* have reported having trou
ble with nematode disease In con
nection with the production of
their vegetable crops. Plant dam
age running into millions of dollars
every year 1* caused by nematodes,
wireworms, and other pests in the
toil.
Garden and (rack crop* are
recognised a* two of the principal
victim* of the attacks of these
parasites. Infested soils reduce to
a great extent the quality and yield
?f all vegetable crop*. Mo?t nema
tode* attack- the root *y*tem caus
ing damage to the extent that the
plant i* not properly nourished
Affected plant* generally *how a
lack of vigor, stunted growth, dis
coloration. wilting, defoliation,
browning or rotting of the roots,
ar a growth of galls or knots on
the roots.
Haw to Tread SeU
In applying fumiganta to control
nematodes in garden* a* well a*
for other crops, all organic ma
terial should be plowed into the
soU long enough to decompose be
fore application Is made. The tem
perature should be 50 degree* K
In treating imall home gardens
with fumigating material a fruit
tar may be used in making applies
tion by punching two hole* through
the oppo*|tTedie* of the Ud with
a 6 or 8 penny nail. A single itream
at Dowfume W-40 is poured along
the bottom of the furrow that u
6 to 8 Inches deep at the rate ol
H cup of this material applied f?l
each 40 feet of row length.
The treach'sbould be filled In ai

quickly H possible, firming the
?oil to seal in the fumigant. This
material should be applied In fur
rotx 10 to 12 Inches apart all the
way across the garden After this
treatment is applied the soil should
not be disturbed far two weeks If
the temperature is SO degrees or
above.
If the temperature is below SO
degrees, planting should be delay
ed three weeks or mars. If there
is a heavy rainfall between treat
ment and time of planting, the soil
should b* stirred during the sec
ond week for aeration.
Those of yon who might be in
terested in fumigating your home
gardens or field crops for nema
todes control and who need further
information in treating your soils
may. contact your county agent's
office. -
