other distortions of stems and the
needles turn brown and are even-
tually shed.
Mites are a common cause of
Injury. Foliage become's gray-
green with very small yellow
spotting or mottling of each
needle. The older needles are
affected first and fine webs may
be present. Mite injury is es-
pecially prevalent in warm, dry
weather.
Occasionally, damage to a
home garden evergreen may be
due to, borers, weevils, or fungal
blights or cankers. More '
commonly, discoloration of the
foliage results from old age,
shading, or unsuitable site, such
as near a downspout outlet where
the plant may suffer from 'wet
feet".
As a final consideration, there
is the chance that something
flodd" may have happened. For
example, injury has been traced
to exhaust fumes from a parked
vehicle, and to oil splashed while
the furnace supply was being ,
replenished.
What can you do if your ever-
green is sick? Don't immed-
iately rush out and buy a spray.
Seek professional advice. Ask
yOur nurseryman, or your local
agricultural representative, to
help you determine the cause
of the trouble. Then try to work
out a solution together.
Piars. and
cheese
together.
From the days of the Romans,
we have-been enjoying the sweet-
ness of fresh pears with the tang
of natural cheese. Canadian
cheddar, both natural and process
types, lend itself well in flavour
and color to a cheese and fruit
tray with fresh Bartlett pears,
or as an accompaniment to or
an ingredient in a tempting pear
dessert.
Canadian cheddar cheese is
made from whole milk, It is
ripened or aged under controlled
conditions of temperature and
humidity in order to produce
the mild, medium or old char-
acteristics. Mild cheddar is held
for 2 to 3 months, medium for
4 to 5 months and old from 9
months to 2 years. Process ch-
eddar is made from natural ch-
eddar that is ground, melted,
pasteurized and blended. Water,
milk solids, certain preserva-
tives and food coloring may be
added.
Cheese factories are inspect-
ed for sanitation by both fed-
eral and provincial departments
of health. The milk used in
the making of cheese is inspect-
ed by provincial dairy inspect-
ors. Federal dairy inspectors
are responsible for grading ch-
eddar cheese and checking the
moisture and milk-fat content.
Home economists, Agricul-
ture Canada, feel that this Pear
Crumb Pie with cheese slices
placed just under the crumb top-
ping is a delicious way to enjoy
the flavors of pears and cheese
together.
Evergreens such as pine,
spruce, juniper, yew, and cedar
are widely used as ornamental
plants. Like all 'living things,
they are subject to disease and
injury and usually these problems
are displayed by discoloration of
the needles. This is a source
of concern when aesthetically
pleasing or economically im-
portant plants are affected.
There are many causes of
browning of evergreens. Here
are some possibilities to con-
sider:
Old foliage of many conifers
turns, brown and falls off during
autumn. This is• a natural pro-
cess, most often noticed in pines
and white cedar.
In spring, new growing tips
may droop, turn brown, and even-
tually die. This is a result
of frost injury and usually causes
little extensive harm.
On occasion, branches may
suddenly turn a deep red-brown
at the onset of warm weather
in spring. This is due to winter
injury, caused by evaporation of
moisture from foliage during
sudden warm or windy periods in
winter. It is not due to extreme
cold as such, although violent
temperature fluctuations may
contribute to injury. Winter
injury is partiCularly common
on junipers and cedars.
At any time of the year the
foliage of outer, lower branches,
especially of junipers, may turn
yellow, then brown, after dogs
have urinated on them. Your
nose will help you determine if
this is the cause of injury.
Evergreens close to busy
streets and highways may turn
brown in spring and summer as
a result of exposure to salty
slush and spray during the winter.
This type of damage is usually
most evident on the side of the
plant nearest the road.'
Plants depriVed of sufficient
water gradually turn yellowish
green, then light brown from
the top down and from the out-
side iri until the plant dieS. Or-
dinarily only scattered in-
dividuals are affected.
Weed killers used on the lawn
may come into contact with ever-
greens and cause twisting or
