October is an interesting month
for the home gardener and there
are many jobs to be accomplish
ed. The days are shortening and
the nights are cooler. Some of
the annuals will be maturing, al
so the tops of herbaceous peren
nials. Growth processes in the
woody perennials will be slowing
down as the plants prepare for
winter rest and dormancy.
As the tops mature in the
flower garden, they should be re
moved and burned. This will aid
in reducing the incidence of in
sects and diseases which may
over-winter on the stems. The
same is true in the vegetable
garden for such crops as aspara
gus, sweet corn, tomatoes and
beans.
As the deciduous trees shed
their leaves, jake them and add
to the compost pile. I have given
instructions for preparing a com
post pile so a reminder may be
'ufficient. A lawyer of about 10
inches of leaves; a liberal sprink
ling of 8-8-8 fertilizer; and a lib
eral application of dolomitic lime
stone. Repeat this procedure as
the leaves accumulate.’
Roses should be In good bloom
this month in most sections of
the state and fertilization may
be discontinued. If you want
large blooms, disbudding should
be given attention."
Earlier rooted cuttings of aza
leas, camellias, hollies, etc., may
be transferred to three-inch clay
pots. For this potting use equal
volumes of the following: coarse
(concrete) Sand; peat moss; and
3ood top soil. Sterilize the soil by
heating to 212 degrees and hold
ing for 30 minutes. After potting
plunge the pots, up to the rim, in
sawdust in a cold frame where
they may be given protection
from severe weather.
Chrysanthemums should be at
their gorgeous best this month.
Visit as many planting as you
can so that you may select new
varieties to add to your planting.
While the plants are still in
bloomt label them. It is some
times embarrassing not to know
a variety name when your friends
Bargain Food
Tips Given
RALEIGH—Convenience foods
can also be bargain foods, re
minds Mrs. Ruby Uzzle, exten
sion consumer marketing econo
mist, North Carolina State Uni
/ersiiy. It all depends on which
ones you select.
Many comparative studies have
been going on. In fact, the U- S.
Department of Agriculture did
one study of 158 convenience
foods comparing them price-wise
to similar fresh or homemade
products.
Forty-two of these convenience
foods were less expensive than
the “do-it-yourself” products, the
specialist notes.
Those where the greatest cost
savings were realized were in
stant coffee, frozen orange juice
concentrate, frozen lima beans,
canned orange juice, chow mein
and devils food cake mix.
Another food comparison study
Mrs. Uzzle cites listed canned
soups, frozen beef dinners, frozen
fish, frozen vegetables and pork
and beans as costing less than
and neighbors come for a visit.
After the tops have been killed
by frost, cut them back and de
stroy.
the home-prepared products.
In looking at shopping patterns,!
Mrs. Uzzle says researchers have
found the homemaker is pretty
wise in her purchases of con
venience foods. She knows which
ones give her the most for her
money and buys these most of
ten, choosing the others mostly
on special occasions.
But nearly all homemakers
will agree that the biggest sav
ing in purchasing convenience
•oods is in time, Mrs. Uzzle says.
This is revealed in study after
study.
Meal preparation can be cut in
half or even more, depending on
iust how “convenient" the con
venience foods are. Pop-it-in-the
oven TV dinners cut preparation
time, for instance, to almost
nothing. .
