Extensive improvements made at Waubee Lakeside Park, second work day is set

Extensive i m - provements were made at the Waubee Lakeside Park last Saturday with a number of Milford citizens turning out to help with the clean-up project. Spearheaded by members of the park board, under chairman D. G. (Bud) Seely, noted improvements were made. Again This Saturday A second clean-up day has been set for this Saturday, May 14, beginning again at 8 a.m. with hopes the work can be completed by the end of the day. Both Seely and Park Board President Marion Acton were pleased with Saturday's turnout and are in hopes additional persons will help this coming week end. A major portion of the park was raked last Saturday with grass being mowed. Five times the town’s dump truck was filled and trash was hauled away. The outside of the

Plant fall flowers now, enjoy later

Mention flowers and most people are looking ahead to peonies and irises .. or planting annuals to enjoy this summer But some flowers must be planted in the spring if there is to be color in the garden this fall One of the most popular of these fall flowers, often called the Queen of Autumn, is the garden chrysanthemum. “Best planting time for the chrysanthemum is late spring — when peonies, irises and tulips are in bloom." says John Wott. Purdue University extension home environment horticulturists. “Fall planting has not proven satisfactory throughout most of Indiana.” he adds. Chrysanthemums are well suited to most garden areas that provide full sunlight and a free ' circulation of air. They are frequently grown in formal beds, garden borders, or in straight rows in the flower or vegetable garden They should not be closely associated with tall shrubs and trees, however Chrysanthemums will grow well in garden soils, if the soil is

properly prepared and welldrained They respond best to a soil that is slightly acid <Ph 6.5) and contains considerable humus in the form of peat, leaf mold or well-rotted barnyard manure As chrysanthemums are sensitive to light, the length of day determines the flowering time for the variety. Some kinds are known as long-day varieties and will flower early, while others require much shorter days. Under ordinary conditions, chrysanthemums will survive adverse circumstances They are responsive to irrigation during dry weather. In order for artificial watering to be economical and most effective, it must be thorough and timely. The soil should be completely soaked to a depth of five to six inches.

will provide big, blooming masses or vivid color by autumn and years of pleasure if given proper care. Before purchasing, study your needs and know what types and varieties are best for your conditions Always buy good plants, properly labeled and packed, from garden centers or nurseries of established reputation. Wott says the small savings made in an investment of inferior plants is usually lost many times over Some of the newer varieties provide color in the garden long before fall arrives. May plant now Plant gladiolus, dahlias and cannas outdoors in~ May. recommend Purdue University extension horticulturists. Keep the developing leaves of gladiolus covered with carbaryl (Sevin) to prevent thrips damage Avoid frost dangers Set out house plants when all danger of frost is past, suggest extension horticulturists at Purdue University. Be sure to water the plants thoroughly. Protect plants from full sunlight and strong winds until they have hardened Encourage growth Slow-release nitrogen in special turf fertilizers encourages more uniform lawn grass growth over longer periods, say Extension turf specialists at Purdue University. A good formulation of turf fertilizer will contain at least 50 per cent slow-release nitrogen. TREATY SIGNED By the Treaty of Bomberg, Brandenburg allied with Poland against Sweden on Nov. 6, 1657.

These tables are being painted, in a dark brown color. Screens were replaced in the concession area, swings w’ere hung and work continued on the area where the mobile home of Mr. and Mrs. Jay Smith is to be placed. Throughout the week work has continued at the site where the home is to be placed. Tuesday evenings park board meeting was held at the park where painting continued. When the playground equipment is in place it will be painted in orange to accent the browns used elsew-here in the park. Scout Cabin While the work was underway at the park a second group of workers were at the scout cabin where they cleared away trash and painted the outside walls of the cabin in a reddish color which compliments the colors used at the park area. Scouts will continue to make improvements at their cabin with plans to meet there this summer.

Time to plant vegetables Plant sweet corn, snap beans, cucumbers and seed of other tender vegetables in May, remind extension horticulturists at Purdue University Treat seed before planting with a protectant fungicide if not already treated.

Snap, bush beans garden favorite

Vying with tomatoes and com for honors as the most popular vegetable in home gardens are snap or bush beans Because they are easy to grow, beans make an excellent vegetable for the beginning gardener to plant. The seeds are large and easy to handle, and they can be planted directly into the garden after danger of frost has passed. “Snap beans come in four basic shapes, colors and sizes,” says John A. Wott. “These are green beans, yellow beans imost often called wax beans), pole beans and bush beans,” the Purdue University extension home enThatching assists in keeping lawn healthy To promote the growth of a healthy lawn, thatch the yard once every three years. Thatching will prevent matting of cut grass and the subsequent formation of mildew. Thatchers can be rented from almost any lawn and garden outlet. But make sure the procedure is done no more than the recommended time period or grass will be subject to winter kill. Also, if a rotary-type mower is used, sharpen the blades at least every third mowing. This will prevent tearing, wliich will turn the grass brown on top and require a longer healing time.

vironment horticulturist adds “By far the most popular combination of all is the bush green class.” he says. “The bush class of snap beans as a whole is far more popular than pole beans since they take up less space in the garden and do not require poles for support." Some of the most popular varieties that do well in Indiana include White-seeded Tendercrop. Spartan Arrow, Cascade and Provider. Hoosiers also have experienced good results with Blue Lake and Kentucky Wonder pole snap beans, but of course, these require supports. The seeds will not do well if planted too early. Wott reminds Wait until the soil has warmed up. Also, be sure you do not plant the beans too deeply. One inch is sufficient for spring planting. If you plant additional beans in late spring or early summer, plant two inches deep. Snap or bush beans grow, flower and produce heavily within 45-60 days of planting, so be ready. You can cook snap beans in boiling water in a matter of 1015 minutes. But they are also
