Gardener
Of The Week
The home of Mr. and
Mrs. George James at 707
Pennsylvania was selected
as the first gardeners hon-
ored by Reagan Garden
Club late this spring season.
The front lawn is well
6ared for with mowed and
trimmed grass and a neat
hedge of holly fronting the
north driveway.
On the north lawn stands
a Paulownia tree ordered
from the VFW magazine
which is living up to ex-
pectations in its rapid
growth. According to re-
Now i s the time to start
checking pecan nutlet
clusters for pecan nut case-
bearer eggs or nutlet feed-
ing damage from this des-
tructive pecan insect pest.
Detection of eggs or feed-
ing damage indicates when
chemical control applica-
tions should be made.
Adult female moths will
soon be laying eggs on the
pollinated nutlets, eggs
should hatch in 4 to 7 days
and then the young worms
will attack the nutlets.
E&gs are usually placed
singly on the tips of nut-
lets. Eggs are flat and
blue-greenish white in
color when first laid but
take on a pinkish red color
after 1 or 2 days. Eggs are
small in size, about the
size of a pin head.
Young worms cut a hole
into the base of the nutlets
and feed inside the nutlets.
As the small worm feeds,
pellets of frass are produced
and collected outside the
nutlet in fine webs.
At least 100 pecan nutlet
clusters should be checked
on trees in home yards for
eggs and worm feeding
damage. Check trees 2 to
3 times a week for the next
2 weeks. Where eggs are
detected, chemical treat-
ments should be applied in
3 to 6 days. Where feed-
ing damage is detected,
chemical treatment should
be made that day.
Sevin or malathion sprays
may be used for control of
pecan nut casebearer on
home yard trees. Check
the LABEL on the chemical
container for rates of ap-
plication, mixing and ap-
plication instructions.
A second insecticide ap-
plication about 7 days af-
ter the first is needed in
most years for effective
pecan nut casebearer con- 1 1
trol.
The pecan nut casebear-
er has 3 generation s per
year. It is about 42 days
between the occurrence of
each subsequent generatfcn,
Some years the second
and third generations of
this insect may cause con-
siderable nut damage. Tb-
tal nut loss is usually
greater during the first
. generation because an in-
dividual larvae may des-
troy a complete nut clus-
ter.

Your Dollar$
Use your
Refrigerator Wisely.
^ Open and close the refrigerator and freezer doors
only when necessary. Several items can be removed
at once to reduce loss of cold air.
k Freezers and refrigerators operate most efficiently
when filled to the correct capacity. Foods should
be placed slightly apart on refrigerator shelves for
correct circulation.
k Cover alt liquids stored in the refrigerator (espe-
cially frost-free models). Moisture is drawn into
the air from uncovered liquids making the refriger-
ator work harder.
★ Be sure your appliance is standing level so that
the door seals properly. By setting a glass of water
on the top, you can see if it is level.
