Off-beat facts for gardeners I'm sort of strung out, you know what I mean? After the last couple of weeks I'm tired and sil ly, just like you are, probably. Maybe the following facts sound a little off-beat to you, too. I sure hope so. bEVCXD THE WEEDS 5 ey JEAN WINSLOW < From Organic Gardening Magazine and the American Nurseryman comes a formula for measuring the amout of soil in a flower pot, whose s'lape is called a frustram. V equals (R2 plus r2 plus Rr)(3.1415)(H3). R and small r represent the radius of the top and bottom of the pot, and h equals the height. If measurements are in inches, the result will be in cubic inches. Those who think bit, like n cubic feet, should multiply by 0.00057861. You heard it here first. Cook in iron cookware. Iron content of an egg triples if eggs are cooked in an iron skillet. Check for filings if you scrapped the bottom too hard. Icy patches on front walks can be eliminated by sprinkling Radiator problems? See your Radiator Aid Station. We're specialists. 1. Complete Flush 2. Cleaning ? Repairing 3. Recoring ?

Wall-to-wall carpeting is subse quently destroyed by tracking aforesaid ashes back into the house. Use the back door. From Hortldeas comes the suggestion of soaking two inches of stems of cut poinsettias in grain alcohol for ten minutes after cutting, then switch to water. , For important occasions add Perrier and a twist. Remember these basic rules with houseplant troubles. When leaves start turning yellow, you've probably over watered, so you get root rot. When leaves start turning yelow, you are not watering the plant enough. When leaves start turning yellow, you are not fertilizing enough. When leaves start turning yellow, you have over-fertilized, and there is too much salts buildup. When leaves start turning yellow, you have not provided enough light. When leaves start turning yellow, the plant has been expos ed to too much direct sun. Simple isn't it? Presto Mfg., P.O.B. 124, Bed- a ford, Ohio, 44014, has for sale to the serious, serious, get-down type gardener an automatic (yes!) Clay Pot Washer. I propose installing this under the greenhouse bench next to my exclusive-design Electric Aphid Eater. Place houseplant in machine. Shut door, turn control to SLURP. Aphids are mechanical ly suctioned into a biodegradable mesh baggie, ready for disposal. But don't. Instead, mix with birdseed and feed to the family's pet parakeet. An extra shot of protein may give Tweetie-Pie a much needed winter lift. Buy some new, exotic plants for the house. Here is a picture of my favorite, as drawn by Ed ward Lear, 1812-1888: Violence in home RALEIGH-Most families care about each other, have good com munication skill, and can handle stress. But for some familes, home is where the hurt is. Violence among family members falls into a number of categories, including child abuse, sibling violence, violence by the child or a parent, and violence against elderly by han dicapped family members. Violent incidents in families are usually not isolated events. Generally, family violence is in tense, recurrent, and will con tinue possibly escalate unless there is some outside intervention. Local and national studies sug gest the problem of family violence is widespread. The Na tional Center on Child Abuse and Neglect estimates that approx imately one million children are mistreated by their parents each year. Of these children, as many as 100,000 to 200,000 are physical ly abused. Sixty to 100,00 are sex ually abused, and the remainder are neglected. It has been estimated that one sixth of all American couples ex perience at least one violent inci dent each year, and more than one-fourth experience such an episode sometime during their marriage. Stress appears to be an impor tant factor in episodes of family violence. Some stress factors may be chronic, such as financial instability or unemployment. Others may be the result of "bad" timing when nothing seems to go right. This is when normal coping mechanisms pro ve to be inadequate. If the family has a history of violent interac tions, additional stress is likely to result in increased violence. For more information on fami ly violence, contact the Crime Prevention Division of the Department of Crime Control and Public Safety at (919) 733-5522. About 35,000 people work in the 110-storY-tall twin towers of the World Trade Center in downtown New York, and about 80,000 more visit on business every day. Are You Dreaming Of Buying A New Home?
