Home Dem. Agent
Questions And Answers For
Gardeners
(By J. F. Rosborough, Extension
Horticulturist)
Q.—Why doesn’t my lettuce make
a compact, firm head, such as is
bought at the grocery stores? How
can I make my lettuce Head?
A.—Lettuce is a cool season vege-
table. If warm weather prevails for
a few days before the plants head,
seed producing tissue is developed and
later a seed stem appears. Such
plants never head. If the weather is
cool enough during the entire grow-
ing season to prevent seed producing
tissue developing in the plant, then
there is no reason why the plants
should not produce heads. Fall plant-
ed lettuce is more apt to develop into
good heads than spring lettuce. To
make lettuce head, start the plants in
a box or plant in bed in late Septem-
ber or October, when the cool days
begin. When the second set of true
leaves have developed, transplant the
plants to the garden, allowing 8 to 10
inches for each plant in the row.
Q.—My tomato plants are begin-
ning to crowd and become spindly in
the box where I planted the seed, and
it is yet too cold to plant them out
in the garden. What must I do?
A.—You can make a temporary
cold frame by forking up the sail and
boxing in a small area on the south
side of one of the buildings in the
yard. If some glass window sash is
not available, you can dip light mus-
lin into hot linseed oil and use it to
cover the top of the frame. The mus-
lin should be tacked on one side of
the frame and attached to a pole on
the other so that it can be easily
rolled up each morning to ventilate
the bed. Where there is a limited
area, the plants may be transplanted
in tin cans, one plant to each can.
Q.—My strawberries are beginning
to bloom. How can I protect the
fruit from getting gritty and dirty?
A.—Mulch the berry rows at bloom-
ing time three inches deep with oat,
wheat or rice straw, pine straw, or
cotton gin “bolly burr” refuse may
also be used. After the berry crop is
harvested, gradually work this ma-
terial into the soil in cultivating.
Q.—Is It desirable to “stick” Eng-
lish peas, and at what time should it
be done?
A.—Sticking English peas is of
some benefit in that the plants are
held erect and supported and are not
subject to wind domage. Sticking the
peas also makes the task of picking
them much easier. Sticking should
be done when the plants are 4 to 6
inches in height.
Q.—Is it too late to set our cab-
bage plants?
A.—I suggest that you set plants
of the Early Jersey Wakefield or
Charleston Wakefield variety, as they
mature quickly and will head before
hot weather begins. Slow maturing
varieties, such as Flat Dutch and
Danish Ball Head are not desirable
varieties for spring planting. Re-
member that cabbage thrives best in
heavily manured soil.
Q.—What variety of sweet corn is
best ? ,
A.—Few people ever know the
taste of good sweet corn. In the
South we have become so accustomed
to eating field corn that we have over-
looked one of our best garden vege-
tables. Sweet corn is ready for table
use seventy days after it is planted.
If planted in March, it will be ready
in May. Honey June is a Texas va-
riety that will please you. Try a few
rows this year.
Q.—What is this new vegetable that
some persons call “Tendergreen” or
“Mustard-Spinach?”
A.—This plant takes the place of
spinach in dry weather. The large
oblong green leaves are dark green
in color and have a small midrib. The
leaves are cooked and prepared for
the table the same as spinach, mus-
tard, or turnip greens.
Q.—My carrots did not come up
last fall. What should I do to get a
good stand of carrots this season?
A.—There are many complaints for
carrots not coming up. To correct
this trouble, cover the seed with about
a half inch of rotted manure at time
of planting. This material will not
pack or crust over. The tiny plants
will come up through it and grow off
in a jiffy. Try it and see.
Mesdames Jos. Fehn, Louis Glaeser,
Aug. Schmidt and daughter Mrs.
Murry, and Emil Schmidt of San An-
tonio, Mr. and Mrs. Wolbrock of Tay-
lor and Mr. and Mrs. Conrad Fry of
Caldwell, attended the funeral of
Henry Mohrhusen, Friday afternoon.

News Column
ORCHARD NEWS
Peaches and Plums.—Wait until af-
ter most of the blossoms have fallen
from the peach or plum trees and
then spray with 1% pounds of lea<j
arsenate to 50 gallons of water. In
two weeks give a second spraying,
using 1% pounds of lead arsenate to
60 gallons of water, and add lime sul-
phur to the mixture, applying both at
the same spraying.
Apples and Pears.—As soon as the
blossoms have fallen, spray with 1V4
pounds of lead arsenate to 50 gallons
of water. In two weeks give a second
application. In commercial orchards,
repeat applications of this same spray
every three to four weeks throughout
the growing season to prevent codling
moth (worm) damage to the fruit.
Grapes.—When the tiny grapes in
the bunches are the size of an eraser
on the end of a lead pencil, spray with
4 pounds of bluestone, 6 pounds hy-
drated lime to 50 gallons water. Spray
with this solution about once a month
to within two weeks of harvest time.
Trellis the “young" Berries.—This
variety of dewberry makes a long wa-
ter-vinelike growth which should be
trellised up off the ground to prevent
the berries from getting sandy and
gritty. This is especially true in
south and east Texas in areas of con-
siderable rainfall. Mid-western Tex-
as and west Texas may not find it
necessary to use a trellis. To trellis
the berry vine, set posts 1V4 feet high
and 10 feet apart in the berry row
and nail a wire (barbed wire will do)
on top of the posts. Raise the berry
vines up and tie them to the wire.
This will make picking easier and the
berries will be clean.
