Taming Wisteria
by Ted Brice
Hie Garden Editor
W isteria is one of our most
glamorous, hardy vijpsjWith
long lavender j&dmes
hanging like clusters of ripe-
ned grapes. But after its
blossoms fade, wisteria of-
ten passes unnotices. Even
the most avid gardeners
seem to overlook the fascin-
ating trunk and lower
branches prominent in win-
ter when the wisteria leaves
have fallen.
Hiere is a compelling
beauty in the twisting and
twining stems of any aged
vine - a bittersweet, an
actinidia, a Dutchman's
pipe - but more so in
wisteria. Wisteria must be
pruned. Without pruning,
plants will choke and stran-
gle trees, rip down down -
spouts, trellises, and arbors
and get under shingles on
the roofs of houses.
Vines are so vigerous that
they will take over any-
where, undermining porch
and balcony railings, climb-
ing several stories to em-
brace chimneys. Yet, if it is
pruned regularly, wisteria
can be kept under control.
For abundant bloom, wis-
teria should be in a sunny
location. Vines will prosper
eyen in quite deep shade,
but blooms will be sparse.
The kind of soil is not
important, but wisteria will
respond to soil that is well
prepared with plenty of peat
moss, compost, dry manure,
or shredded bark or leaves
added. At the bottom of the
hole scatter a few handfuls
of bonemeal of superphos-
phate, slow acting fertilizer
of 5-10-5. Bare-rotted plants
should be set out in the early
spring, making sure that the
hole is large enough to
accommodate the full
spread of the roots.
Plants in containers can be
set out any time during the
growing season, but either
fall or spring is an ideal
time. Feed establish vines in
the early spring or late fall
after the leaves have fallen,
using a crowbar to get the
fertilizer deep into the
ground. Both bonemeal and
superphosphate are excel-
lent because they are slow
acting, noncaustic fertilizer
that promote the formation
of flower buds.
Wisteria will need some
kind of support. This may be
trellis, an arbor, a post, or
fence, but the support
should be strong.
When wisteria fails to
bloom, prune it severely to
shock it into flowering. Hi is
is best done in the early
spring to allow plants
enough time to develop next
years flower buds. If this
fails, in the early spring dig
a trench around the plant
l‘/2 to 3 feet from the trunk,
depending on its size. With
a sharp shovel, clippers or
ax, sever the main root. As
you replace the soil, mix in
bonemeal or superphos-
phate at a rate of 2 % pounds
per inch of trunk diameter.
Texas Legislature
Passes Gasohol Bill
“Texas fanners and con-
sumers enjoyed a major
victory Tuesday when the
Texas Legislature passed
the gasohol bill by overwhel-
ming majorities” Texas
Fanners Union President
Mike Moeller said. “After
six years of effort the bill
which will provide a temp-
orary five cent exemption
for gasohol from the state
motor fuels tax was sent to

the governor on the final day
of the 30 day special ses-
sion.”
The gasohol bill was pas-
sed with a broad base of
support from both rural and
urban legislators. The Texas
Farmers Union was joined in
their efforts in passing the
bill with representatives of
the Texas Agriculture
Movement, the Texas farm-
ers and Ranchers Coalition,
the Texas Grain Products
Cooperative, and Diamond
Shamrock. The measure was
sponsored by Representa-
tive Dan Kubiak (D-
Rockdale) and State Senator
Bill Sarpalius, (D-Hereford).
“The gasohol bill was not
only a priority bill for the
TFU, the measure will help
create a new industry in
Texas, which in the long run
will provide an alternate
source of energy and a new
tax base,” Moeller predict-
ed. “As a leading agricul-
ture and energy producing
state, Texas should now
come to the forefront in
alcohol fuel production from
renewable sources of ener-
gy.”
The exemption from the
five cent motor fuels tax
begins January 1, 1982 and
lasts until 1987. At this
point, the tax is phased in at
the rate of one cent per year.
“With the exemption es-
tablished in 1982, it will
immediately help out the
small producers already op-
erating in Texas and help
establish the market when
the other large cooperatives
begin producing alcohol in
the next two years,”
Moeller said. “Every gallon
of imported OPEC oil we
avoil buying through the
production of American
made alcohol will bring us
that much closer to energy
independence” Moeller de-
clared.
In addition to the small
plants already on line or in
the planning stages, three
cooperatives have been
formed in Hutto, Muleshoe,
and Farewell to produce
alcohol on a large scale
basis.

“Natural” Advertised Foods
May Contain Additives
by Barbara Whiting
County Extension Agent
Home Economics
Shoppers may find foods
advertised as “natural”
contain additives, preserva-
tives, artifical coloring or
other artificial ingredients.
That’s because there is no
generally accepted defini-
tion for the term “natural”
as applied to food, according
to the United State Depart-
Nutrena’s f
looking for j
cows to turn
into supercows.

ment of Agriculture. All
kinds of food are being
marketed as “natural” by
producers seeking a share of
the flourishing natural foods
business.
No federal standards regu-
late the use of the term
“natural,” so some produ-
cers often use it to suit their
own purposes in promoting
and selling various food
products.
Health and natural food
stores have a specific image
to protect. Many have their
own standards for stocking
natural food products. For
example, some do not stock
products containing refined
sugar, additives or preserv-
atives. However, other
stores cany products con-
taining natural additives,
preservatives or both.
Some foods are advertised
as natural even though they
are highly processed and
contain synthetic additives.
Cereals that are processed
and fortified with vitamins
and minerals or contain
chemical preservatives
could fall into this catergory.
How can consumers know
what they are getting? Read

DHR Offers Financial Aid For Low Income Families
To help relieve the harsh
effect of the Texas summer
heat on elderly persons,
low-income families with
members Sge 65 or older
may apply for financial aid
from the Texas Department
of Human Resources ©HR)
to help their summer cooling
costs.
Under the Home Elieigy
Assistance Program
(HEAP), households eligible
by reason of low income and
containing at least one per-
son 65 or older may qualify
for one-time payments that
will range from $91 to $114.
According to Mamie
Ewing, regional administra-
tor for DHR some elderly
Texans will receive the cool-
ing assistance automati-
cally. These are people al-
ready receiving benefits
from Aid to Families With
Dependent Children, food
stamps, or Supplemental
Security Income.
Applications for HEAP
benefits are now being ac-
cepted from other low in-
come households which did
not receive the automatic
payment. Applications will
be accepted through August
31, and may be filed at any
DHR office. A face-to-face
interview is required for
certification, as in verifica-
tion of household income.
Ms. Ewing said the fol-
lowing guidelines can be
used in determining if an
elderly member of a house-
hold is eligible for the
federally-funded cooling as-
sistance. A household’s re-
sources cannot exceed
$1,800 for one person or
$3,000 for more than one
person. Hie value of the
homestead, cars personal
and household belongings
will not be considered as
resources. Household gross
monthly income cannot be
more than the following
figures for eligibility.
Numbers of people in
households, in parentheses,
precede income limits’; (1
person) - $296.49; (2 per-
sons) - $446.49; (3 persons)
-,- $613.49; (4 persons) --
$756.49; (5 persons) -
893.49; (6 persons)
$1044.49; (7 persons) --
$1195.49.
If certified as eligible for
the assistance, applicants
should receive their pay-
ments within 20 to 30 days.
