In fact, there's a crying need for you. Your talents. Your training. Your concerns. They make you valuable to your business.

They can make you priceless to your community. If you can spare even a few hours a week, call the Voluntary Action Center Multi Purpose-Bldg. llth Lee, 357-0605 It'll do you good to see how much good you can do. AT THIS a i a slopped for a i and i plants being so tender you will need to water well for the next few days. You will have to help the grass and tender plants convert to the hot dryer weather.

This has become an annual affair the last three years. Maples, sycamores, and quince are loosing leaves rapidly. This is not an insect problem generally, except some lace flies on the sycamores, it is jusi the change in the weather. Fertilize and water the trees well. This will prevent some of the loss of foliage.

In a SMX-k or so if ihe weather slays dry ihe trees will harden to the heat and all will be well. The red spider is fast becoming a problem at this time. It would be best to use Kelthane for control on most plants. For a few days there was a shortage of ihis material, because the spider problem hit so fast. But now the chemical is available, The red spider will hit most any plant so watch for a change in foliage color.

The red spider is so small you can not see it unless you use a white paper to view against. Tap ihe plant branches on the paper and look for the small dots i around. PLANTS IN our area will do during our normal summers with the proper once each week watering and fertilizing. The amount of water this spring a shows i plants are hurt by overwatering during those dry summers. Fruit trees are being beyond repair in many cases.

The cherry and apricot are the ones that die first. When this problem exists there is i a can be done. When selecting a for the landscape all of these a i should be sonsidered. The bagworm problem is slowing down now, but they will be moving from a to plant soon, and yard to yard. So if you have had no bagworms and your neighbor has and he hasn't controlled them you may have them soon.

The nights are cool for this time of the year and it will cause the Bermuda grass to get tough if the coolness continues. This will indicate to you that it is time for the second application of fertilizer for the lawn. You can have a good green active lawn until late October if you will do the proper fertilizing. THE DEADLINE for planting new Bermuda lawns is not far off. If you need to plant, hurry or you will have at least 80 per cent freezeout on the lawns planted the 20th of August.

Any new lawn planted this year must have a September application of complete fertili2er high in potassium lo bring it through the winter. Pecans, American elm. and crape myrtle are being hit by red spider, lace fly, and aphid. This is why the sap drips all over everything that is under the trees. Diazinon will give good quick control of this problem.

Most of the insects will be in the lower part of the tree. The first patent for a machine to cut grass was issued in 1803, but the first lawn mower was built in France several years earlier. Since then any one could cut the grass one way or another. Today the lawn can be kept in good man condition with little effort compared to even 30 years ago. MOWING IS an i a a of how the lawn looks.

Regular mowing at the same level is best. Don't raise and lower the mower because of the amount of growth. Use a grass catcher to handle the clippings for the best lawn. Now that the air is drying out the fungus problems on foliage will let up. but the soil fungus that nils grass will be all the more active with the higher temperatures so be on the watch for mushrooms.

You will need to walch IhLs week for chewing insect damage. The weather change could start a new set of insects thai develop fast in the hot weather, as does the red spider. Robert Poolaw, an Eagle Scout and descendant of Chief Black Beaver, places a wreath on the famous Indian scout's new grave Saturday on Chiefs Knoll in Fort Sill's Post Cemetery. With him are two other members of the Black Beaver Boy Scout Curicil, Tony Gonzales and Charles Rabon. a Photo) Historic Indian Scout Now Rests At Chief's Knoll By PAUL HART A 21-gun salute and the chant of an I i a prayer heralded a new resting place Saturday for Chief Black Beaver, one of the legendary figures of the Old West.

Soldiers, Indians and historians joined to move Black Beaver's remains from an obscure family plot near Anadarko, to the company of other Indian greats here on Chief's Knoll in the cemetery of this sprawling Army artillery base. The Delaware chief's new grave lies among those of such famed I i a leaders as Quanah Parker, last chief of the Comanches, and Kiowa chiefs Sitting Bear. Satanta and Kickingbird. Across the post, in an Apache cemetery, is the grave of Geronimo. Born in 1806.

Black Beaver led the first party of while men to the site of Fort Sill in 1834. He was a well-known guide and scout for the Army, and commanded a troop of Indians in the Mexican War. In 1830 he charted the California Trail from Fort Smith. to the West Coast, and he rode horseback seven times from the Midwest to the Pacific Ocean. "Black Beaver was a fine example of the spirit of the West," said Maj.

Gen. 'David Ott, commander of the base. "It is with a great deal of pride that Sill accepts. Chief Black Beaver." The 1st Battalion, 18th Field Artillery, boomed a 21-gun salute i was followed by the quiet chant of a Delaware prayer by Bessie Snake, an elder of the Delaware Tribe. Boy Scouts from the council a bears Black Beaver's name laid a wreath of flowers on the grave.

An A a in greens carried the casket lo the new grave, and it was lowered i the earth to the bugling of taps. The Delaware tribe and the Fort Sill Museum made the moving of Black Beaver's remains a- bicentennial project. He was buried in a family plot near Anadarko in 1880, and it was recognized as a national historic site, but the remote location could be visited by few visitors. Delawares were among the audience of about 100 which viewed the brief ceremonies Saturday. They included Jack McLane, a Delaware vice president and great-great-grandson of Black Beaver.
