OPCKI,EY It has become altnost traditional to look for roses in June, Indeed, in meet of the United States and in southern Ontario and the milder parts of B,C., they flower more abundantly during this month. In most of eastern Canada and on the prairie provinces, roses are at their best during the first two weeks in July. With careful attention to summer culttire of roses you can extend this season- through the summer and into fall. Most modern hybdd teas and floribunda roses are selected for their ability to produce blooms over an extended period, It only requires the right care at the right time to activate these inherent traits, Summer care of the rose garden need not be difficult or time consuming if you follow a regular schedule. The best way to produce later bloom largely depends on the health and vigor of the plants that can be maintained by spraying, feeding, watering, mulching and proper cutting and pruning. Spraying programs are usually directed against mildew and blaCkspot, two diseases that affect the leaves and weaken the plants, and insects such as sphids, rose chafera and caterpillars. For this purpose a weekly application of a spray containing a good fungicide such as Phaltan or Manzeb and an insecticide such. as malathion or nicotine sulphate will take care of both fungi and insects attack. Apply them at regular intervals and cover both sides of the leaves. To encourage better and more constant bloom, some form of summer feeding is necessary. Assuming that you have fed your roses about the first of June, repeat this application on the first of July and the first of August. A complete fertilizer with a formula similar to 10.5-5 should be used at the rate of one cup of food spread around one plant and scratched in, then watered well. Do not feed new plants until after the first flush of bloom. No feeding should be done after the middle of August to allow the soft, tender growth to harden properly for the winter. Watering is another very important requirement during prolonged periods of drought. When watering is needed, soak the ground thoroughly to a depth of six inches, Sprinkling the top of the soil is of little use and might actually do more harm than good, it encourages the formation of roots on the surface of the soil that will dry and die very quickly, Garden notes It's not too late to put your fuchsias outdoors for the summer, say horticulturists with the Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food. The unique , shape of the fuchsia flower makes it a very interesting plant for the home gardener. The best results will be obtained if the, plants are placed in a location that is lightly shaded or receives direct sunlight for only half the day. This makes them an ideal plant to use on lightly shaded patios. The plants can be removed from the pots and planted, or they can simply be planted outside; pot and all. The pots should be plunged into the soil right up to the rim. It is advisable to place a small stone under the drainage hole to prevent earthworms from enteking. Few serious insect pests attack fuchsias, but for best results the experts advise spraying eat 10-day intervals so infestations won't build up, Malathion is the most useful control agent. Care should be taken when applying it and the directions on the container should be carefully followed. If possible, avoid wetting the leaves. This may be done by using hoses that are perforated at intervals along their length; 'these are often called soaker hoses. When constructing new rose beds, keep watering in mind and install perforated polyethylene, pipes round the bottom of the bed and feed these through an upright pipe at soil level. A mulch is extremely useful to help retain soil moisture. It will reduce evaporation during the summer months, help in holding the soil at a cooler temperature, and keep down weeds. Then spread a two or three-inch layer of mulch evenly over the whole bed. Use any kind that can be obtained locally such as buckwheat hulls, cocoa shells, shredded bark, decayed leaves or corn cobs. Peat-moss is excellent It is attractive and it improves the soil when it is worked in later. Soak peat moss well before using it; if applied dry it will absorb water from the soil and prevent moisture from reaching the plants. Later when it disintegrates into the soil, a further light application will be necessary. When using shredded bark, decayed leaves or peat moss, it is well to add a dressing of high nitrogen fertilizer first in order to decompose the material. Otherwise, the bacteria that do the job would need to use nitrogen from the soil. This loss of nitrogen would result in yellowish leaves and smaller and fewer flowers. When using fertilizer, loosen the mulching material around the plant and add the feed to the soil, During spring and early summer, don't cut flowers with long stems. The plants at this time are putting forth all their, efforts to increase growth and flowers. Any unnecessary reduction of branches and foliage tends to upset the balance between top growth and the root system. The more foliage we can leave on the bushes the greater will be the Mowing the lawn is one of summer's most regular jobs. Anyone needing a new lawn mower should know the advantages and disadvantages of the various types available, says Professor Ross Irwin, School or Agricultural Engineering, University of Guelph. The gas-powered rotary lawn mower of the walk-behind type is inexpensive, has blades that are easy and cheap to maintain, will do a good job in tall grass and weeds, and can mulch leaves. It is easy to maneuver and can cut close to obstructions. On the other hand, rotary machines don't do a very neat job, will tend to shred the grass rather than clip it if the blades are left unsharpened, and are unsafe on uneven or terraced ground. Operators can save money by sharpening their own blades with a file or grinder, and should take equal amounts off each blade to keep the machine in balance. The correct handling of these machines will help operators achieve best performance, and help ensure user safety. The machine should hold enough gas to do the entire lawn, so that there is no need to refuel the machine when it's hot; a fourcycle engine is best for this. Professor Irwin • adds that a two-cycle machine needs extra attention because of the need to add oil to the fuel. The front wheels of the mower should be staggered to prevent lawn scalping, and a front corner discharge chute will keep the cut grass away from the operator. Large wheels with bearings make the machine easy to push and turn. PrOfessor Irwin points out that the Over 1,309 tent residents die this year front AcctcleOts on the farm. FOX` this reason the Canada _Safety Council is sponsoring a Farm Safety Week from. July 25 to 31, to promote the idea of Way and caution in the rural areas,. Hai Wright, farm safety specialist for Ontario, plait* to tractors and fires as the largest contributors to farm depths, with the misuse of chemicals and serious falls running, second. The tractor is vital to all farm operatiens but a recent study by the Royal Commission on Agriculture showed that 78 percent of farm machinery fatalities involved tractors. Farm equipment accidents in general have been blamed on fatigue and stress on the part of the operator, much of which could easily have been avoided. Farm equipment on public highways is another source of rural death, Tractors, for example, are not designed fer highway travel, and yet one-third of tractor deaths The Information Centre at the Bruce Nuclear Power Development has just undergone a complete face lifting, and is now open to the public seven days a week from 10:30 a,m., to 5:30 p.m. With the addition of the Bruce Heavy Water Plant and the Bruce Generating Station a new story unfolds. Many interesting models and displays have been incorporated into the programme in order to explain more fully the activities and progress of the Bruce Nuclear Power Development. The Information, Centre programme which runs occur on highways, Children V ere the tragic *time Of many farm accidents. An estimated 20 PWent of all fatalities involving farm Machinery is Made up of children under the age of 14- A constant surveillance of the whereabouts and activities of children is a reliable Method of reducing such aceideets. Fires take their share Of human life. Defective chimneys, unsafe stoves and and furnaces, improper use of electricity and gasoline have caused numerous serious fires and contributed to the growing statistics of farm deaths. Again children head' the list of victims. In the final analysis it is the farmer, says Mr Wright, who must keep safety in mind whenever and wherever he may be. The purpose of Farm Safety Week is to make the farming population more aware of the dangers on the farm and urge a higher degree of care and caution. continuously, features a new colour film depicting all aspects of the Development, guided tours through the Information Centre's facilities and a trip to the top of the visitor's viewing stand where site construction progress can be seen.

A range of cutting heights, from one to three inches, should generally be obtainable. Stones and debris on the lawn should be picked up before cutting begins. Mowing should be done across the slope. Among the accessories that can be added to a rotary walk-behind mower are grass catchers, automatic speed controllers or governors, and rustproof housings, The horsepower of lawn mowers is generally related to the width of the cut. Cutting widths range from 16 to 22 inches and the corresponding power from three to four horsepower. Some machines are self-propelled. For every ten rotaries sold, one gas-powered reel-type mower is purchased. These mowers are much more expensive. Their cutting widths range from 16 to 20 inches with generally five or six blades on the reel. The machines need more maintenance as the reel needs frequent adjusting, and a special machine to sharpen the mower reel blades and the bed knife is necessary. The reel mowers will give a beautiful cut, but for best results lawns must be cut more often as the grass should be short and erect when cut. More blades, closer together, will give more cuts per foot, and this will give a smoother finish to the lawn. The Mountain Avens is the floral emblem of the Northwest Territories.
