A Stele Fungus, Strawberry Blight Set for Good Year

Conservation Department Terms ‘ Disease ‘Worst, Most Treacherous’ ADD THIS to your worry list:

When strawberries blossom, the Conservation Depart-|

the most treacherous and one of the worst diseases” they have|

to fight. It's red steéle—so-called because the stele or inner root core of an infected plant turns red. The year 1950 has been very kind to the fungi that cause the trouble.

All the stuff dug out for the basement piled on top of the yard.” That's the way the John Gowdys describe their “lawn and garden” as it appeared to them three years ago. That was September, 1946, when they moved into their new hoire at 1946 N. Moreland Ave. Naturally, they wanted not only a lawn but some flowers and a tomato or two. And they got what they wanted — right away in the next summer in the easiest fashion imaginable. They simply used soluble fertilizer powder to water the

week on a kind of back-yard hydroponics basis.

Dollar A Year

“The powder we use costs us only about a dollar a year because you only have to use a teaspoonful to a gallon of water. And we use it for everything. “Last year we couldn't set our tomato plants out right away so we kept the roots In the solution. The plants never wilted — we never had them transplant so well. “We-used-it-this spring on the new roses we set out—filled the hole with solution just after we

Quick Pick-Up Since this is strictly a quick pick-up for plants, the Gowdys don’t neglect long-term soil improvement. Whenever they make a new flower or vegetable bed they mix peat moss and bone meal into their clay. Mrs. Gowdy is sold on the fertilizer solution for house-

flowers she raised to gorgeous bloom last year by weekly waterings with the plant food. And young Gregory, 3, “is definitely going to be ‘a gar- | dener” his parents have decided —probably an equally confirmed fertilizer-solution fan.
