Since the temperature has
been consistently in the high
90s, all of the beautiful Cannas,
that bloomed in bright profu-
sion this spring, have almost
ceased to bloom.
A lady, thinking ahead to
winter, asked me what she
should do to protect her Cannas
over the cold months. I thought
it would be okay to leave them
in the ground. I had heard they
could be left in the same spot
for several years, except in
cases where they were too
thick. Cannas don’t bloom well
when they are overcrowded.
However, to make sure I was
passing along accurate infor-
mation, I told her I would do
some research.
Since, I have learned Cannas
need to be protected from the
frost. Most gardeners uproot
them in the fall, plant their tub-
ers in flowerpots, place them in
frost free buildings, keep the
soil moist around the tubers all
winters long, and then replant
them in the spring.
If you leave Cannas in the
ground, cut them back and cov-
er them with a mulch or glass
jars.
You can replant your Cannas
garden by saving the round
black seeds found in late sum-
mer and early fall. Before sow-
ing, soak the seeds in warm
water for 24 hours. Don’t plant
the seeds until the temperature
is between 65 and 80 degrees or
else they will not germinate.
The Cannas is a native tropi-
cal American flower. They have
been Naturalized in Africa and
Aisa. In 1846 they were taken to
Europe and are now a popular
garden flower in most Euro-
pean countries.
While Cannas grow in all of
the tropical American areas,
they are most prolific in Brazil,
Columbia and Ecuador. The
head-hunting Indian tribes,
known as Vivaros and Tunebos,
think the Cannas is a very use-
ful plant. They wrap their new-
born infants in the huge leaves,
they eat the fleshy Cannas roots
and they thatch their huts with
the leaves.
In the West Indies and
Hawaii, they use the species of
Cannas edulis as a source of
Queensland Arrowroot for
babies and invalids.
The leaves and tubers of Can-
nas are also used as fodder for
dairy cattle.
Cannas seeds are used to
make necklaces and rosary
beads.
The species of Cannas that
grow in our gardens were
derived throught the hybridiza-
tion of the species of indica, flo-
ceida, glauca and coccinea. The
flowers come in shades of scar-
let, apricot, orange and yellow.
Some species have purple or
bronze leaves.
Cannas grow very well in Cal-
houn County. I have seen them
thriving in both good and poor
soil, and in the shade or full
sunlight.

Hay producers wishing to
enter hay in the 1991 Calhoun
County Hay Show should obtain
a core sample of hay and a block
sample and turn it in to the
County Extension Office before
Sept. 20, according to Darrel A.
Dromgoole, County Extension
Agent-Agriculture.
The 1991 Hay Show will be
sponsored by the Calhoun
County Extension Service and
the Calhoun County Cattle-
men’s Association.
Hay sampling fees will be $5
per entry, added Dromgoole.

Medicine and an Ohio State
faculty member since 1977.
In his new position, Fenner
will oversee the student affairs
office, which handles registra-
tions, financial aid and student
counseling. He also will act as
college secretary, keeping
meeting minutes for several
groups.
Fenner entered the universi-
ty’s doctorate program a year
ago, focusing on adult educa-
tion and higher education
administration.
Fenner said his goals are to
continue the traditions set by
former associate dean of stu-
dent affairs, Dr. Milton Wyman.
“I want this to continue being
an office that people think of as
solving problems, not creating
them,” he said.
A native of Port Lavaca, Fen-
ner was born at the time his
father was a veterinary student.
His father is the oldest veter-
inarian in Port Lavaca.

Dear Friends and Patients:
With warmest regards,
Chuck Knopp, M.D. \ J
I will shortly be relocating to Katy, Texas. My final day at the Port Lavaca Clinic will be on
August 15,1991. In the two years that I have been practicing in Port ^avaca, I have encountered
such a tremendous amount of warmth, support and friendliness by the people of my home town
in Calhoun County. It has truly been a remarkable and heart warming experience. Words cannot
express the special feelings that I have developed for all of my wonderful patients and their
families.
I would like to thank the Port Lavaca Clinic for their strong support and for providing me
the opportunity to practice with such a fine group of physicians.
A special thanks is given to all the dedicated and hard working employees of the Port Lavaca
Clinic. You have been exceptional to work with.
I would like to express my deepest thanks to Memorial Medical Center and all of its
wonderful personnel for their assistance in enabling me to give optimal care to my patients.
Also, the support that has been given to me by the Hospital Board and the Commissioner's
Court has been warmly appreciated.
I would like to wish my home community of Calhoun County the very best for the future.
You will always be in my thoughts and prayers.

h ________
' ^'ttlter the balance of hor-
ipones In the leaf, triggering
* ® separation in the abscission
' “ zone at the base of the
' - -petiole.
• ■’ One hormone (the Auxin,
J --IAA) is produced at high
>-* rates in leaves of healthy,
vigorous cotton, inhibiting
_ abscission after it moves into
Dromgooles the petiole. Other hormones
in the leaf (absciscic acid
and ethylene) retard the
movement of IAA and prom-
ote enzymes that loosen the
" cells in the abscission zone.
Cotton defoliants fall into
■" two categories of action. One
is herbicide defoliants.
These products slowly
injure or stress the leaf, sti-
mulating ethylene synthesis.
This stress-ethylene
response not only occurs
when leaves are slowly
injured by defoliants, but
also occurs with many other
types of injury such as
drought, waterlogging, dis-
ease and insect damage.
The defoliants Dropp and
Prep are hormone defo-
liants. Prep releases
ethylene in the plant, stimu-
lating further ethylene syn-
thesis and abscission zone
formation in both the boll
walls and leaf petioles.
Although Prep is considered
a boll opener, it can defoli-
ate cotton at high rates.
Dropp is in a different
class of hormones called
cytokinins. Cytokinins such
as Dropp stimulate a massive
increase in ethylene synthe-
sis and thus act as a
defoliant
Producers can only decide
when and what harvest aid to
apply. The weather and
plant condition will deter-
mine when and if the leaves
actually fall. Since shed is a
temperature-driven growth
response, it proceeds twice
as fast at 95 degrees maxi-
mum air temperature than at
77 degrees. And whether a
harvest aid works at all is
heavily influenced by the
plant’s readiness for defolia-
tion. Because of the weather
. .and plant influence on def^
liation and boll opening pre-
pares us to look at a field, use
historical weather informa-
tion and then make the best
possible defoliation
decision.
By Darrell Dromgoole
K* Extension Agent - Ag.
When to defoliate and
. .what materials and rates to
^*Use are two important deci-
sions that give most cotton
^‘growers grief. These deci-
\Bions are frustrating because .
'. they must be made without
‘.knowledge of the most
‘‘important factor: the
‘weather.
r t A period that is wet or dry
‘ can turn the most carefully
'.Considered defoliation deci-
sion into the “wrong choice.**
’’Because of the overwhelm-
‘ ing influence of weather on
. defoliation, producers must
'. understand the basics about
’* defoliation and boll opening
^’to minimize the risk asso-
ciated with uncooperative
* weather.
Optimum timing of harvest
’‘ aids must strike a balance
‘^between further boll deve-
lopment and potential crop
‘Jloss from adverse weather.
J; Each producer must exa-
mine his harvesting capaci-
;*'ty, regional weather patterns
*’*and crop development
Percent open boll has his-
torically been the method to
' * 'determine optimum defolia-
tion timing and is still useful
when the crop is set over a
' traditional number of weeks.
■ ^'Recent research in the mid
*ksouth corroborates work
done in the 50s, that defolia-
, n tion prior to 60 percent open
’ '' boll can decrease yield.
