10-year-old grandson of Conduc

the passengers on the train. He
was taking his second train ride.
As he stood near the wreck with
his father, who had come to Cov

the young man said, “I took my
first train ride when I was six
years old, and this was my sec

one.”

VEGETABLE MATURITY
Several people have told me
this year that they didn’t think

their vegetables matured as qu
ickly as they should have. Most
seed catalogs give the number
of days required from seeding
to harvest for the vegetable seed
they sell. Usually their pre
dictions are wrong.
J. M. Barber, one of our Ex
tension horticulturists, explains
the reason: "Development of a
vegetable crop is governed by
many environmental factors, the
most important of which is tem
perature.”
Mr. Barber gives this exam
ple: “The Alaska variety of
English peas is listed as a 59-
day variety. However, this pea
may be ready for harvest any
time from 45 to 80 days after
planting. It all depends on the
temperature during the growing
season.”
He adds that similar variat
ions can be found in most vege
tables.

BEES IMPORTANT
Many gardeners don’t realize
the important role bees play in
producing vegetables. This is
especially true with cucurbit cr
ops such as cantaloupes, cucum
bers, squash and watermelons.
Bees are essential for good
pollination of these crops, and
good pollination is necessary for
good set, shape and size of fruit.
In many cases there are eno
ugh wild bees to take care of
small acreages. The home gar
den, for example. But com
mercial growers with large acre
ages often find it necessary to
bring in bees. The number need
ed will vary according to the
crop, plant population and weat
her conditions.
Os course, we want to do every
thing possible to protect our
bees. One way is to wait until
late in the day to apply insec
ticides. By then the blooms
have closed and bees are no
longer active.

ROACH CONTROL
Cockroaches are the filthiest
and most repulsive of all house
hold pests. Their repugnant
odors and objectionable habits,
plus the fact that a single roach
may carry thousands of disease
organisms, make them highly
undesirable.
Roaches usually hide during
the day and are active at night.
Therefore, infestations are

‘Know Your Car’
Is Title Os
Chevy Film
Since knowing how a car runs
and how to keep It running play
a big part in safe driving, Che
vrolet has recently released a
new driver education movie,
“Know Your Car.”
Through a combination of live
photography and cartoon ani
mation, the new Chevrolet 16
mm color and sound motion pic
ture describes the basic ways
of knowing how a car runs and
the danger signals an auto gives
when not functioning properly.
The movie is being dis
tributed free to high school dri
ver education classes across
the country.
“Know Your Car” is appro
ximately 28 and one-half min
utes long and divided into seven
segments. The first three ex
plain, in non-technlcal terms,
the basic mechanical operations
of an automobile. The next
three cover maintenance req
uirements, and the last points
out some danger signals a car
gives when mechanical trouble
develops.
There is a short pause be
tween each of the three groups
allowing driver Instructors to
quiz students on the material
just presented.
“Know Your Car,” which has
been cleared for television
showing, has been distributed to
all Chevrolet regions and zones
and is available on a no-charge
basis to driver education
instructors, civic and church
groups through the Jam Handy
Organization, Detroit, Michi

sometimes higher than the home
owner suspects.
The best thing to do, if pos
sible, is to prevent roach in
festations. Seal cracks around
doors, windows and pipes. Avoid
damp basements and keep stor
age rooms orderly and clean.
Check all boxes and other con
tainers brought into the home.
Grocery bags and boxes should
be examined thoroughly.
Once an infestation is present,
a vigorous and sustained pro
gram of control is necessary to
eliminate it. Sanitation is an
important step. Open garbage
containers, dirty dishes left ov
ernight, uncovered food, and food
crumbs left lying around—these
are conditions that attract roach
es.
After a complete cleanup, in
secticides should be applied to
all infested areas.
My office has additional in
formation on roach control, in
cluding insecticides to use, along
with rates and methods of ap
plication. Also, there are licen
sed pest control operators who
are qualified to carry out control
practices.
