of L2 Dibremo 3 Cliforopropane whatever tint is and see what can do If it work? as it supposed to work we can have big fat carrots again and beets that have to be scraped It will be like old times There are all sorts of nemetodes but the kind we know we have is roof knot nemetodes We may have others but we haven't seen the signs of them NEMTODES ARE micropscoplc worms They are home bodies they don't on their own power mme more than a few inches in the soil they hitch ridfs to other sec tions of live garden on muddy shoes on plowshares and hoe blades on the residue of vegetables That's one reason it is unwise to walk in a wet garden: yon pick up mud nn your ahoeg and in the mud are nemetodes and you carry them wherever you walk Tins a good place to pul in a ping for mulch Jn mnli hed walks between the rows you pick up mud We can walk all around our garden on spongy mudless paths THERE ARE ALL SORTS of ways of getting rid of neme tedes or at feast slowing down their activities Crop rotation helps plant fibrous rooted plants after tap rooted plants and vice versa Plant resistant or immune crops (turnips seem to be immune no nemetodes on ours) During a three weck? period of hot dry weather plow three or four times deeper each time because nemetodes die in dry soil and this will turn them up and dry them also use a sort of tear gas on them or kill them with gfeam and electricity but those methods for a home gardener to try There are nemetodes in all soil but not always as bad as they are in our garden right now nearly got to do something about them or else confine our gardening to turnips hich would be sort of monotonous If we use this stuff let you know how it comes out We hope it works C(iiiielli(is Are Damaged TUESDAY Rev and Mrs rancis Machina Machina Boriack rehearsal dinner St Mark Lutheran School 6 Mr and Mrs Andrews Amthor wedding rehear sal dinner Hamilton House Mmes Charles Cook Jones Jr luncheon honoring Miss Ellen Jones Ridgewood Country Guh noon Dr and Mrs Howard Dudgeon supper honoring Miss Kate Oliver 700 itzpatrick Drive I Green Thumb luncheon Hamilton House noon WEDNESDAY Andrews Amthor wedding irst Lutheran Church 7:30 in re ception Hamilton House Machina Boriack wedding St Mark Lutheran Church 7 reception St Mark Lutheran School auditorium Waco Corsage Club Garden Cen ter 2 Air?
