Achieving a good lawn next spring will be easier if the lawn is in good condition before the winter. Turfgrasses grow well with full sun, plen- ty of moisture, and moderate temperatures during September, October, and November. An application of a complete fertilizer con- taining nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium at a 4:1:2 ration, in early September will en- sure good growth during this period. Unless a severe nitrogen deficiency ex- ists, fertilizers high in nitrogen should not be applied after the end of September. Nitrogen applied in October will delay the hardening processes of the turfgrasses, and increase susceptibility to winter injury. An application of potassium is recom- mended between mid-September and early October if the soil potassium level is low. Potassium promotes winter hardiness, disease resistance, and stress tolerance. It may be applied alone, but it is applied more frequently in a complete fertilizer, often in a 1:2:4 ration. Seeding and overseeding (seeding into an intact lawn) procedures are more suc- cessful when carried out from mid-August to late -September, than at other times of the year. Thatch (an unacceptably heavy ac- cumulation of dead grass at the soil level) and grass weeds (rough bluegrass and creeping bentgrass) can be removed suc- cessfully with a de -thatching machine dur- mgthis period. Turf injury heals quickly, and few weeds germinate in the injured area. Mid -September is one of the best times for broadleaf weed control. Herbicides are taken up quickly because the weeds are growing actively, and a good kill is obtain- ed. Most trees and shrubs have ceased shoot growth at this time, so the danger of injury from spray drift is minimal. Mowing should be continued until the grass stops growing. Allowing the grass to grow long in the fall increases susceptibility to winter diseases, and delays drying Color clues of autumn by Arlin Hackman - Federation of Ontario Naturalists Outside my office window, the woods have shed the green uniform of summer and don- ned a brilliant coat of fall colors. Today, as on previous autumn days, millions upon millions of leaves are performing this ritual transformation into the yellows, oranges, scarlets and russets which lure us into quiet country lanes. Ever since the birth of botany, scientists have wondered what sets off this seasonal display. Is it cool weather, dessication, long nights or some inborn timer? The feeling is that it's likely a combination of factors, but so far all they have learned are some of the basic steps involved. No doubt a big prize awaits whoever can complete the journey. At the centre of all the action is chlorophyll, the green stuff in leave. The ac- tual fall color changes result from a breakdown in this substance which occurs when proteins, to which its molecules are bound, divide into their constituent amino acids. When chlorophyll is no longer bound to these proteins it disintegrates, losing its color, and allowing the intrinsic color of the remaining leaf tissue to appear. Well, that's part of the story. In fact an American biology professor Dr. Kenneth Thimann has shown that an additional fac- tor. accounts for the brilliant reds of maples and sumac, which we see in Ontario. This is the accumulation of sugar in the leaves and its complex conversion into a red pigment known as-anthocyanin. Cool autumn nights restrict the flow of sugar out of the leaves, while bright sunshine promotes sugar syn- thesis and its conversion into anthocyanin. So the onset and intensity of fall reds depends on regional weather. Whatever the color, one end result ap- pears common. The amino acids, resulting from the breakup of proteins, are transported through tiny "sieve tubes" into the stems and roots, where their nitrogen is conserved for use in the next season. Plants guard their nitrogen jealously, since its dif- ficult for them to acquire, and they need a lot for spring regrowth. An interesting sidelight of ongoing research in this field is the parallel between this aging process in plants and our own. Ap- parently a similar breakdown of proteins appears in elderly people, who tend to lose protgin faster than they can replace it. Just as some chlorophyll in surface cells of leaves is not destroyed by whatever forces inititate aging, so too a few of our cell lines, including cancers, are not programmed for senescence and continue to subdivide in- definitely. No doubt a few more autumn seasons will come and go before the mystery is fully revealed. Strike ends r xE fER - The strike at Protective Plastics ended on Oct. 19 and by Oct. 24 a1167 strikers who downed tools on Oct. 1 were back to work. Jirn Conium, union chairperson, an- nounced that many of the strikers' demands had been met. Wording of job descriptions and other terms objected to in the previous contract had been changed to union's satisfaction in the new one, which will be in effect for the next two years. Employees will get two additional paid holidays per year, and a drug plan whereby all prescriptions will cost a total of 35 cents each. The allowance for safety shoes has been upped from $15 to $35. All union members will receive a pay increase of 60 cents the first year, and 50 cents the following year. Men working ori mould maintenance, which requires extra skill, will receive a further 25 cents per hour raise. Charge hands (in charge of a crew under a foreman) will now receive an extra 50 cents per hour over and above their basic pay, an increase of 10 cents.
