The best way (tree size permitting) of straightening
would be to re-dig and stake the tree. Pulling and cabling it
is not as satisfactory especially if the tilt is very severe.
The “blight” is actually a leaf roller, one which could be
controlled with diazinon spray at first signs of infestation.

Doc welcomes your inquiry, send it in care of this paper
and watch for a speedy answer.
DEAR DOC: We have a sweet gum (present when we
bought our house) that has grown tilted from the ground.
How could we straighten it now? Also what can we use to
control the blight that hits it in late summer?

DEAR DOC: Our winter ryegrass has developed slowly.
It’s only recently started growing at all. Is this normal?
Most of the wintergrasses’ growth does come in the early
spring (precisely why we don’t recommend them for
overseeding - competition with permanent grasses). If you
sowed the seed late, it just hasn’t had a chance to develop.

DEAR DOC: We have a small greenhouse and about a
thousand crowded plants. Mealy bugs have been a
problem, but we can’t spray with anything we’ve yet seen.
Most everything damages something. What can we use?
Try a vapona aerosol bomb—one that you distribute and
leave the house closed for several hours. Your nurseryman
or an agricultural chemical supply company should be able
to order one for you.

DEAR DOC: We’re planning on buying a pecan tree from
a local nursery. However, they recommend at least a 9 foot
tree, rather than the 5-6 foot size. They guarantee the tree.
Should we let them go ahead and plant it?
' ■ 'Container-grown or balled and burlapped pecans could be
-dependable in the 9 foot range, but I seriously question
bare-root stock that large. Even with their guarantee,
you’re still investing time.

Lower thermostats, higher gasoline
prices; more inflation, less resources.
Lowers - highers, mores - lesses all
combine to give the modern family
long faces and short tempers.
Our household has found the
following conservation measures both
challenging and amusing. The ideas
may not work for all families, but
they have certainly livened up our lot.
• Ride a bicycle on short trips to
town. This includes the entire family.
It saves on gas and gives (especially
to Mom and Dad) needed exercise.
• On trips to the store for purchase
of only a few items, utilize either
bicycle baskets or a backpack to
carry the articles. This saves on
paper sacks, which are in short
supply. This may also be done when
going to check the mail.
« Plan carefully so that shopping
may be done (by car) in one or two
trips to the store rather than seven to
ten trips each week. Also, set aside
one day (or portion thereof) for
washing clothes. Do all washing,
drying, folding, etc., in that day and

some time and co-operation of most
of the family. However, it provides an
opportunity for the family to all feel
needed and useful—even the younger
children can carry a small pitcher of
water.
• Plant a garden in your back yard
(or front, or side). This saves
tremendously on your grocery bills.
• Establish a compost pile. Into it
put grass clippings, tin cans, old
newspapers (shredded), peelings and
shells from vegetables and nuts. This
compost matter changes the texture
of your soil, makes it easier to till,
holds moisture in the ground, and
serves as a fertilizer. Anyone who has
bought fertilizer recently knows that
the price has more than doubled.
Prices of vegetables should soon
reflect this increase, plus transpor-
tation cost increases.
• When watering the garden or
lawn (besides water already applied
from the washer), let water run onto
plants rather than sprinkle. Sprink-
ling wastes some portion of water, in
that much evaporates before it can be
used by the plants.

• Instead of spraying with
pesticides, grow a bed of garlic and
shallots. Use excess bulbs for spray.
Pulverize the plants and mix with
water - spray. The bugs will hate it.
• Reuse plastic bags and bread
sacks. These may be used in freezing
those vegetables from your garden.
• Go to your big freezer only once
or twice a week. Remove enough food
in one trip, that you do not have to
reopen the freezer for several days.
Use all the food in the freezer section
of your refrigerator before returning
to the large freezer to get more.
Our country is dependent on other
countries for our supplies of
twenty-seven of thirty of our
necessary minerals and metals. Thus,
we face innumerable situations
similar to the Arab oil boycott, or
worse. Knowledge of this fact puts the
above suggestions in a totally
different light. Not only may
conservation of resources be fun and
challenging—it is imperative that we
prepare outselves now to adjust our
lives and behavior to the coming time
of further shortages.
Furniture buying
guides are given
If wanting quality
furniture for your home,
check the doors, fasteners,
finishes and hardware.
Doors on furniture should
be straight and well-fitted
so you can open and close
them easily, Mrs. Juanity
Murphy, COUNTY EXTEN-
SION AGENT, said.
Fasteners should be
applied with screws rather
than with nails or staples.
Some pieces of quality
furniture may have screws
counter sunk and plugged
with a piece of wood so they
can’t bee seen.
Finishes on wood furniture
are intended to accentuate
the grain of the wood. The
wood grain should be
matched for pattern and
appearance throughout the
construction of the piece.
For an exceptionally
attractive looking wood
grain, look for a piece that
has a highlighted satin

then forget it until the next week. At
first this will be difficult, but in the
long run it can save on time, energy
and water, as is explained in the next
idea...
• Pipe water from your washer to
the outside of your house. (We did
ours via a hole and pipe in the garage
wall.) This will not only save on
water consumption, but will also
provide, through phosphates in the
detergent, fertilizer for local phos-
phate deficient soil. Phosphates are
considered pollutants in water
streams because they are con-
centrated fertilizer. By putting the
fertilizer onto the plants rather than
into the water stream, you do a
double service. The water will drive
away certain bugs, such as sow bugs,
and if your house is built on a slab
foundation, this wash water, if poured
around the foundation will prevent
cracking during dry weather.
Empty the wash water into a large
20-50 gallon can. Water may then be
put into smaller containers and
carried to other parts of the yard for
use in watering plants. This requires
