NOTESICiStt

By DON FRANTZ County Agriculture Agent AGAIN THIS PAST WEEK there have been dozens of calls conct the condition of shade trees and shrubs.) There are two things now that can cause troubles. Many of the younger soft ■ maple trees are.heavily infested with scale insects. T an encrustation of the branches with .small greyish, pinhead, usual!} nape. There are insects in t 11-like formations and they are feeding from •.he' sap of the tree. When there gets tn be of them ' ■ ■ . • pretty well bled but and the toaves start to discolor and die. Malathin can be ' used for scale control and it does a fair job. Orchard men u<e dormant oils, in the spring to control them. If the tree is actually hurting we would recommend spraying n w and if it does a good job the cold weather spray would be unnecessary The other bad pest right now is the larva of the pine saw-fly. They can strip a young pine tree in a day. Just a little DDT will put them out of business. WHATEVER VARIETY of sweet com you plant tins year, be sure to plant a hybrid. Sweet com. explains.

I barbecue is a grill and pit. One of I the best and most economical pits I for average size groups is made by splitting a 55-gallOn oil drum lengthwise and attaching legs that can be removed so that the pit can be easily hauled from place to place—even in a trunk of a car. Concrete or cinder block pits are also satisfactory and can be outfitted with wire grills making it possible for two men to turn a large number of chicken halves at one time. Young fryers of about two to 2’- 2 pounds dressed weight are ideal for barbecuing and are in plentiful supply this spring They should be cooked’ slowly over a charcoal ember fire and basted constantly With barbecue sauce each time they are turned..
