The blockade, one of the basic war plans of the North, had proclaimed by President Lincoln; on April 19, 1861, and strength- i ened on April 27.

Pecht, the district's outstanding farmer, has applied various conservation practices on his farm, including: contour faming, crop rotations, pasture improvement, diversion terraces and tiling. Major crops on this Pennsylvania farm include small grains and a grassland program. Dairy cattle make up the livestock program. Gerald Bullock, chairman of the board of supervisors, also serves on the Veterans Farm Training Program as well as doing his own farm work. The two men will fly to Arizona for the visit and will stay at Goodyear's resort, the Wigwam.

The fail webworm attacks a wide variety of deciduous trees from early October until late fall. It is the second generation that is active from late July until October and is usually most abundant; hence the name of fall webworm. The caterpillars of the fall webworm are yellowish, with blacl spots. They are very hairy and will about 1-inch long when mature.

They feed inside loosely woven tents that enclose the caves which they feed upon. Vhen the larvae a're full grown, crawl down the tree to mpate.

Continued watering thereafter helps the fertilizer to develop a deep root system. Once the young lawn has been established, the Armour agronomists recommend that, starting in the early spring, feedings of fertilizer for turf and and trees be applied every six weeks at the rate of one to one and one-half pounds for each 100 square feet of lawn space to keep the grass growing vigorously. The lawn should be watered after each application.
